Abstract: Disclosed herein is a control system for a projection system, including a first subtractor receiving an input drive signal and a feedback signal and generating a first difference signal therefrom, the feedback signal being indicative of position of a quasi static micromirror of the projection system. A type-2 compensator receives the first difference signal and generates therefrom a first output signal. A derivative based controller receives the feedback signal and generates therefrom a second output signal. A second subtractor receives the first and second output signals and generates a second difference signal therefrom. The second difference signal serves to control a mirror driver of the projection system. A higher order resonance equalization circuit receives a pre-output signal from an analog front end of the projection system that is indicative of position of the quasi static micromirror, and generates the feedback signal therefrom.

Abstract: A MEMS triaxial magnetic sensor device includes a sensing structure having: a substrate; an outer frame, which internally defines a window and is elastically coupled to first anchorages fixed with respect to the substrate by first elastic elements; a mobile structure arranged in the window, suspended above the substrate, which is elastically coupled to the outer frame by second elastic elements and carries a conductive path for flow of an electric current; and an elastic arrangement operatively coupled to the mobile structure. The mobile structure performs, due to the first and second elastic elements and the arrangement of elastic elements, first, second, and third sensing movements in response to Lorentz forces from first, second, and third magnetic-field components, respectively. The first, second, and third sensing movements are distinct and decoupled from one another.

Abstract: A MEMS resonator system has a micromechanical resonant structure and an electronic processing circuit including a first resonant loop that excites a first vibrational mode of the structure and generates a first signal at a first resonance frequency. A compensation module compensates, as a function of a measurement of temperature variation, a first variation of the first resonance frequency caused by the temperature variation to generate a clock signal at a desired frequency that is stable relative to temperature. The electronic processing circuit further includes a second resonant loop, which excites a second vibrational mode of the structure and generates a second signal at a second resonance frequency. A temperature-sensing module receives the first and second signals and generates the measurement of temperature variation as a function of the first variation of the first resonance frequency and a second variation of the second resonance frequency caused by the temperature variation.

Abstract: The accelerometric sensor has a suspended region, mobile with respect to a supporting structure, and a sensing assembly coupled to the suspended region and configured to detect a movement of the suspended region with respect to the supporting structure. The suspended region has a geometry variable between at least two configurations associated with respective centroids, different from each other. The suspended region is formed by a first region rotatably anchored to the supporting structure and by a second region coupled to the first region through elastic connection elements configured to allow a relative movement of the second region with respect to the first region. A driving assembly is coupled to the second region so as to control the relative movement of the latter with respect to the first region.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a clock generator has a variable-modulus frequency divider that receives a high-frequency clock signal and outputs a divided clock signal having a frequency controlled by a modulus-control signal generated by a temperature-compensation circuit. A jitter filter is coupled to the output of the variable-modulus frequency divider and to the temperature-compensation circuit and generates a compensated clock signal having switching edges that are delayed, with respect to the divided clock signal, by a time correlated to a quantization-error signal.

Abstract: A magnetic field sensor includes a die and a current generator in the die. The current generator generates a driving current. A Lorentz force transducer is also formed in the die and coupled to the current generator to obtain measurements of a magnetic field based upon the Lorentz force. The magnetic field has a resonance frequency and the current generator drives the Lorentz force sensor with the driving current having a non-zero frequency different from the resonance frequency.
