Abstract:
A device for controlling the frequency of resonance of an oscillating micro-electromechanical system includes: a microstructure (2), having a first body (10) and a second body (11), which is capacitively coupled to the first body (10) and elastically oscillatable with respect thereto at a calibratable frequency of resonance (ω R ) a relative displacement (ΔY) between the second body (11) and the first body (10) being detectable from outside; and an amplifier (21) associated to the microstructure (2) for detecting the relative displacement (ΔY). DC decoupling elements (23) are arranged between the amplifier (21) and the microstructure (2).
Abstract:
A micro-electro-mechanical sensor includes a microstructure (102), having a mass (108), which is movable with respect to a rest position (Y 0 ), according to a predetermined degree of freedom (Y); and a displacement-detecting device (104, 106) for detecting a displacement of the mass (108) according to the predetermined degree of freedom (Y). The displacement-detecting device (104, 106) includes a force feedback loop (106) of a purely analog type, which supplies electrostatic forces tending to bring back the mass into the rest position (Y 0 ), in response to a displacement of the mass (108) itself according to the predetermined degree of freedom (Y).
