Abstract: Faults in a periodically oscillating MEMS mass are detected by processing a position signal, having an amplitude and oscillation frequency, generated as a function of mass position. First and second reference signals formed by samples of quadrature sinusoids at the oscillation frequency are generated. First and second multipliers generate a first product signal and a second product signal, respectively, via multiplication of the position signal by the first and second reference signals. The first and second product signals are low pass filtered to generate first and second filtered signals, respectively. An estimator circuit determines estimates of the amplitude as a function of the first and second filtered signals. A decision circuit detects the presence of faults on the basis of a comparison of the estimates with a range of values.
