    摘要: Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) gyroscopes and related sense frequency tracking techniques are described. Various embodiments facilitate sense frequency tracking and offset and/or sensitivity change compensation. Exemplary embodiments can comprise receiving a sense signal at an output of a MEMS gyroscope and determining a sense resonant frequency of the sense signal. In addition, exemplary methods can comprise generating an input sine wave with a frequency of the sense resonant frequency of the sense signal injecting the input sine wave into the MEMS gyroscope, to facilitate sense frequency tracking.

    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: Facilitating minimization of non-linearity effects of a delay of a capacitance-to-voltage (C2V) converter on an output of a gyroscope is presented herein. A sense output signal of a sense mass of the gyroscope and a drive output signal of a drive mass of the gyroscope are electronically coupled to respective analog-to-digital converter (ADC) inputs of bandpass sigma-delta ADCs of the gyroscope. The bandpass sigma-delta ADCs include respective C2V converters that are electronically coupled, via respective feedback loops, to the respective ADC inputs to facilitate reductions of respective propagation delays of the bandpass sigma-delta ADCs. Respective ADC outputs of the bandpass sigma-delta ADCs are electronically coupled to demodulator inputs of a demodulator of the gyroscope that transforms the sense output into an output of the MEMS gyroscope representing an external stimulus that has been applied to the sense mass.
