In an example, a driver for a micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) device can include a first input configured to receive a first command signal including an oscillatory command signal, a second input configured to receive a second command signal including a bias command signal, and an amplifier configured to receive a high voltage supply, to provide, to the MEMS device, a closed-loop output signal responsive to both the first command signal and the second command signal in a first state, and to provide an open loop output signal configured to substantially span a voltage range of the high voltage supply in a second state.

This document discusses, among other things, apparatus and methods for quadrature cancellation of sense information from a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device, such as a MEMS gyroscope. In certain examples, a quadrature correction apparatus (200) can include a drive charge-to-voltage C2V converter (202) configured to provide drive information of a proof mass of a MEMS gyroscope, a sense C2V converter (203) configured to provide sense information of the proof mass, a phase-shift module (205) configured to provide phase shift information of the drive information, a drive demodulator (210) configured to receive the drive information and the phase shift information and to provide demodulated drive information, a sense demodulator (211) configured to receive the sense information and the phase shift information and to provide demodulated sense information, and wherein the quadrature correction apparatus (200) is configured to provide corrected sense information using the demodulated drive information and the demodulated sense information.
