What is the difference between piezoelectric and piezoresistive pressure sensing?

January 11, 2021 By Randy Frank Leave a Comment

Piezoelectric is the property of a material to generate a voltage when mechanical force is applied to it. In contrast, the piezoresistive effect is the property of a material’s resistivity to change when subjected to a mechanical force. In either case, the mechanical force or stress can be compression, tension or a bending force. Ceramic […]
