    摘要: A gyroscope with a first Coriolis mass quartet and a second Coriolis mass quartet arranged around two quartet center points, and two elongated mass elements or synchronization bars aligned with each other outside of each Coriolis mass. One end of each elongated mass element and synchronization bar is attached to the corresponding Coriolis mass. Each elongated mass element is suspended from a peripheral anchor point by a mass element suspension arrangement which allows said elongated mass element to undergo rotational motion both in the device plane and out of the device plane. Each elongated synchronization bar is suspended from a peripheral anchor point by a synchronization bar suspension arrangement which allows said elongated synchronization bar to undergo rotational motion both in the device plane and out of the device plane substantially around its midpoint.

    摘要: A MEMS gyroscope comprises a first resonator with one or more first Coriolis element pairs, and a second resonator with one or more second Coriolis element pairs. The primary oscillation of these resonators is driven with the same drive signal, and a coupling arrangement between the first and second resonators synchronizes the primary oscillation of the one or more first Coriolis element pairs with the primary oscillation of the one or more second Coriolis element pairs. The coupling arrangement does not synchronize the secondary oscillation of the one or more first Coriolis element pairs with the secondary oscillation of the one or more second Coriolis element pairs. The secondary oscillations of the first and second electromechanical resonators are therefore independent of each other.

    摘要: A microelectromechanical gyroscope comprising first, second, third and fourth Coriolis masses, arranged in that order on an x-axis. In the primary oscillation mode, the Coriolis masses are configured to oscillate so that the second and third Coriolis masses move in linear translation along the x-axis away from a center point when the first and fourth Coriolis masses move in linear translation along the x-axis towards the first center point, and vice versa. When the gyroscope undergoes rotation about a y-axis which is perpendicular to the x-axis, the Coriolis masses are configured to oscillate so that the first, second, third and fourth Coriolis masses undergo vertical motion in a z-direction, wherein the first and third Coriolis masses move up when the second and fourth Coriolis masses move down, and vice versa.

    摘要: This disclosure describes a microelectromechanical multiaxis gyroscope comprising a proof mass quartet, a central suspension arrangement for suspending the proof mass quartet from the central anchor point. The gyroscope also comprises a synchronization frame and a detection mass quartet. One or more lateral corner springs extends to each detection mass from the laterally adjacent proof mass, and one or more transversal corner springs extends to each detection mass from the transversally adjacent proof mass.

    摘要: A microelectromechanical gyroscope comprises a first proof mass quartet centred around a first quartet center point and a second proof mass quartet centred around a second quartet center point. The gyroscope comprises a suspension arrangement configured to accommodate the primary and secondary oscillating motion of the first and second proof mass quartets. The suspension arrangement comprises a first synchronization frame and a second synchronization frame. Each synchronization frame surrounds the corresponding proof mass quartet, and each proof mass is coupled to the surrounding synchronization frame with one or more frame suspension springs. The gyroscope also comprises a lateral synchronization spring which extends from the first proof mass quartet to the second proof mass quartet.

    摘要: The MEMS sensor of the invention has movable and fixed components for measuring acceleration in a rotational mode in a direction in-plane perpendicular to spring axis. The components include an element frame, a substrate, a proof-mass a spring connected to the proof-mass and to the substrate, and comb electrodes. The MEMS sensor is mainly characterized by an arrangement of the components causing an inherent sensitivity for measuring accelerations in a range covering longitudinal and transversal accelerations. One or more of the components are tilted compared to the element frame. The semiconductor package of the invention comprises at least one MEMS sensor.

    摘要: An electronic component is provided that includes a package base and a metallic cap. The metallic cap separates the enclosure into at least a first compartment and a second compartment. An electronic chip is in the first compartment, and the metallic cap separates the enclosure into the first and second compartments with its shape which forms a separator which extends from the ceiling of the first compartment toward the mounting plane of the electronic chip.

    摘要: The present invention relates to capacitive micromechanical accelerometers, and in particular to acceleration sensors with movable rotors which may rotate out of a substrate plane when the accelerometer undergoes movement with an acceleration component perpendicular to the substrate plane. The capacitive micromechanical accelerometer includes additional damping springs to reduce unwanted movement of the rotor in the substrate plane, thereby reducing the parasitic capacitance that results from motion of the rotor in the substrate plane. The damping springs are vertically recessed with respect to other components of the accelerometer in order to minimise the effect of the damping springs on movement of the rotor out of the substrate plane.
