    摘要: Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) gyroscopes and related measurement and calibration techniques are described. Various embodiments facilitate phase estimation of an ideal phase for a demodulator mixer associated with an exemplary MEMS gyroscope using quadrature tuning, which can improve offset performance over life time for exemplary MEMS gyroscopes. Exemplary embodiments can comprise adjusting a quadrature component of an exemplary MEMS gyroscope sense signal, measuring a change in offset of the exemplary MEMS gyroscope at an output of a demodulator mixer associated with the exemplary MEMS gyroscope, estimating a phase error between the quadrature component and a demodulation phase angle of the demodulator mixer based on the change in the offset, and periodically adjusting the demodulation phase angle of the demodulator mixer based on the phase error.

    摘要: A MEMS system includes a proof mass, an anchor, an amplifier, first and second sense elements and their corresponding feedback elements. The proof mass moves responsive to a stimulus. The anchor coupled to the proof mass via a spring. The amplifier receives a proof mass signal from the proof mass and amplifies the signal to generate an output signal. The first sense element is connected between the proof mass and a first input signal and the second sense element is connected between the proof mass and a second input signal. The second input signal has a polarity opposite to the first input signal. The first feedback element is connected between the proof mass and the output signal and its charges change responsive to proof mass displacement. The second feedback element is connected between the proof mass and the output signal and its charges change in response to proof mass displacement.
