Abstract: A CMOS IC substrate can include sense amplifiers, demodulation circuits and AGC loop circuit coupled to the MEMS gyroscope. The AGC loop acts in a way such that generated desired signal amplitude out of the drive signal maintains MEMS resonator velocity at a desired frequency and amplitude. The system can include charge pumps to create higher voltages as required in the system. The system can incorporate ADC to provide digital outputs that can be read via serial interface such as I2C. The system can also include temperature sensor which can be used to sense and output temperature of the chip and system and can be used to internally or externally compensate the gyroscope sensor measurements for temperature related changes. The CMOS IC substrate can be part of a system which can include a MEMS gyroscope having a MEMS sensor overlying the CMOS IC substrate.

Abstract: An integrated MEMS inertial sensing device can include a MEMS inertial sensor with a drive loop configuration overlying a CMOS IC substrate. The CMOS IC substrate can include an AGC loop circuit coupled to the MEMS inertial sensor. The AGC loop acts in a way such that generated desired signal amplitude out of the drive signal maintains MEMS resonator velocity at a desired frequency and amplitude. A benefit of the AGC loop is that the charge pump of the HV driver inherently includes a ‘time constant’ for charging up of its output voltage. This incorporates the Low pass functionality in to the AGC loop without requiring additional circuitry.

Abstract: A method is provided for implementing a security mechanism in an integrated MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System) device having a MEMS sensor with an output register associated with a sensing operation, the integrated MEMS device being electrically coupled to a computing system programmed to perform the method. The method includes, in normal operation, reading from the output register an output of the sensing operation, and in a test mode, determining, by a processor disposed within the computing system, a random value. Determining the random value can include reading from the output register, which in the test mode or provides a value from an internal pattern generator. The method also includes determining, by the processor, a validation value, reading, by the processor, the random value stored in the output register; and determining, by the processor, whether the integrated device is valid using the validation value and the random value stored in the output register.
