Abstract: A method for compensating for strain on a MEMS device includes generating a signal indicative of a strain on the MEMS device in a first mode of operating a system including the MEMS device. The method includes compensating for the strain in a second mode of operating the system based on the signal. Generating the signal may include comparing an indicator of a resonant frequency of the MEMS device to a predetermined resonant frequency of the MEMS device. Generating the signal may include comparing a first output of a strain-sensitive device to a second output of a strain-insensitive device and generating an indicator thereof. Generating the signal may include sensing a first capacitive transduction of strain-sensitive electrodes of the MEMS device in the first mode and generating the signal based thereon. The strain-sensitive electrodes of the MEMS device may be disabled in the second mode.
