    Abstract: A microelectromechanical accelerometer includes a microstructure, having sensing terminals and driving terminals distinct from the sensing terminals, a supporting body and a movable mass, coupled to the supporting body so as to be able to oscillate according to a sensing axis with respect to a rest position, and a control unit coupled to the microstructure so as to form a force feedback loop configured to maintain the movable mass in the rest position. The movable mass includes a sensing structure and a driving structure, respectively coupled to the sensing terminals and to the driving terminals through capacitive couplings variable as a function of displacements of the movable mass from the rest position. The sensing structure and the driving structure are electrically insulated and rigidly coupled with each other.
