In order to provide an inertial sensor such as an acceleration sensor which can be downsized and in which a high SNR can be obtained as having a plurality of measurement ranges, an inertial sensor for detecting an inertial force of acceleration based on an electrostatic capacitance change of a detecting unit includes a plurality of detecting units D1 to D4 each having a different sensitivity defined by a ratio between an applied inertial force and physical quantity generated from each of the detecting units to provide the plurality of measurement ranges. Alternatively, when the inertial sensor includes N (a natural number of 2 or larger) pieces of movable units 6a to 6c, (N+1) or more types of measurement ranges are provided. |
