Abstract: A yaw-rate sensor including a first and a second Coriolis element that are arranged side-by-side above a surface of a substrate. The Coriolis elements are induced to oscillate parallel to a first axis Y. Due to a Coriolis force, the Coriolis elements are deflected in a second axis X which is perpendicular to the first axis Y. The oscillations of the first and second Coriolis elements occur in phase opposition to each other on paths which, without the effect of a Coriolis force, are two straight lines parallel to each other.

Abstract: A device for determining a rotation rate can be employed in conjunction with a rotation rate sensor which furnishes one or two output signals that among other things are a measure for the Coriolis acceleration and thus also for the rotation rate. The device includes an arrangement for signal processing, with which both digital subtraction of the output signals and an ensuing digital multiplication by a carrier signal shifted in a digital phase shifter are accomplished. The digital multiplication is followed by a digital/analog conversion and low-pass filtration, which in the final analysis furnishes an output signal (DR) that is equivalent to the rotation rate.

Abstract: A piezoresistive micromechanical sensor component includes a substrate, a seismic mass, at least one piezoresistive bar, and a measuring device. The seismic mass is suspended from the substrate such that it can be deflected. The at least one piezoresistive bar is provided between the substrate and the seismic mass and is subject to a change in resistance when the seismic mass is deflected.

The measuring device is electrically connected to the substrate and to the conductor track and is configured to measure the change in resistance over a circuit path which runs from the substrate through the piezoresistive bar and from the piezoresistive bar through the lateral and/or upper and/or lower conductor track.

Abstract: A micromechanical motion sensor is capable of detecting a deflection imparted to an oscillatably mounted bar spring element excited to a permanent periodic oscillation by an electrostatic oscillating drive to which a periodic drive voltage is applied. To compensate non-linearities of the resonance frequency response of the bar spring element, a sum of a normal drive voltage signal and a compensation drive signal may be applied to a comb drive. In an alternative embodiment, separate compensation comb drive units may be additionally provided to the comb drive units used for the oscillation drive and a compensation voltage signal may be applied to them to compensate for the non-linearity.
