Secondary sense loop with force feedback capability
Abstract:
A secondary sense loop for a MEMS gyroscope comprises a secondary element comprising at least one mechanical resonator, an analog front end circuitry, a digital secondary loop circuitry and an analog back end circuitry. The digital secondary loop circuitry comprises a signal path receiving at its input an analog secondary input signal representing a detection motion of a mechanical resonator and providing at its output an output signal indicating an angular velocity said MEMS gyroscope is subject to, said signal path comprising an analog-to-digital converter configured to digitize the analog secondary input signal into a digitized secondary signal, and a digital force feedback circuitry controlling operation of a closed force feedback loop configured to adjust response function of the secondary sense loop.
