Which mechanism causes increased settling time in MEMS capacitive accelerometers subject to pulse disturbances?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric absorption in the accelerometer's capacitor causes charge polarization lagging behind the applied voltage, leading to additional settling time because charge needs to redistribute. Therefore settling time increases, rather than being caused by electrical discharge.
