    摘要: At start-up of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) gyroscope, the drive signal is inhibited, and the phase, frequency and amplitude of any residual mechanical oscillation is sensed and processed to determine a process path for start-up. In the event that the sensed frequency of the residual mechanical oscillation is a spurious mode frequency and a quality factor of the residual mechanical oscillation is sufficient, an anti-phase signal is applied as the MEMS gyroscope drive signal in order to implement an active dampening of the residual mechanical oscillation. A kicking phase can then be performed to initiate oscillation. Also, in the event that the sensed frequency of the residual mechanical oscillation is a resonant mode frequency with sufficient drive energy, a quadrature phase signal with phase lock loop frequency control and amplitude controlled by the drive energy is applied as the MEMS gyroscope drive signal in order to induce controlled oscillation.
