Abstract: A circuit comprising a microelectromechanical (MEMS) gyroscope and a gain circuit coupled with the MEMS gyroscope. The gain circuit is configured to receive a digitized drive signal based at least in part on a digitized drive voltage amplitude of the MEMS gyroscope. The gain circuit is also configured to determine a percentage change in quality factor of the MEMS gyroscope based at least in part on the digitized drive signal and a stored trim value of the MEMS gyroscope. The gain circuit is also configured to compensate for an effect of a change in the quality factor of the MEMS gyroscope based at least in part on the percentage change in quality factor.

Abstract: A MEMS sensor has a proof mass, a sense electrode, and a shield. At least a portion of the proof mass and shield may form a capacitor that causes an offset movement of the proof mass. A series of test values may be provided in order to minimize the offset movement or compensate for the offset movement. In some embodiments, the shield voltage may be modified to reduce the offset movement. Residual offsets due to other factors may also be determined and utilized for compensation to reduce an offset error in a sensed signal.

Abstract: A MEMS system includes a gyroscope that generates a quadrature signal and an angular velocity signal. The MEMS system further includes an accelerometer that generates a linear acceleration signal. The quadrature signal and the linear acceleration signal are received by a processing circuitry that modifies the linear acceleration signal based on the quadrature signal to determine linear acceleration.

Abstract: A MEMS accelerometer includes proof masses that move in-phase in response to a sensed linear acceleration. Self-test drive circuitry imparts an out-of-phase movement onto the proof masses. The motion of the proof masses in response to the linear acceleration and the self-test movement is sensed as a sense signal on common sense electrodes. Processing circuitry extracts from a linear acceleration signal corresponding to the in-phase movement due to linear acceleration and a self-test signal corresponding to the out-of-phase movement due to the self-test drive signal.
