1. A quartz pendulous accelerometer, comprising:

  • a quartz meter, which is configured to sense an acceleration signal, and convert the acceleration signal into an inertia torque and convert the inertia torque into a meter output signal;

    a capacitance-to-voltage (C-V) readout circuit, which is configured to convert the meter output signal into an input signal recognizable by a pulse generating apparatus; and

    the pulse generating apparatus, which is configured to perform control algorithm conversion, oversampling and digital quantization on the input signal to obtain a quantized current pulse,wherein the quantized current pulse is an oversampled modulated signal comprising information about a magnitude and a polarity of a feedback force and is converted into an electromagnetic pulse torque for balancing the inertia torque.
