  • Publication number: 20130160544
    Abstract: A reading circuit of a gyroscope is provided. The reading circuit includes a driving unit, a high pass filter, a signal processing unit, and a low pass filter. The driving unit generates a resonance signal for a resonator of the gyroscope and generates a demodulation signal for the signal processing unit. The signal processing unit provides a modulation signal to a Coriolis accelerometer of the gyroscope. An input terminal of the high pass filter receives an output signal of the Coriolis accelerometer. The signal processing unit processes and demodulates an output of the high pass filter according to the demodulation signal and outputs a demodulation result to the low pass filter.

    Abstract: A multi-axis capacitive accelerometer is disclosed. A first mass is disposed and held by an anchor supported by a substrate, wherein the first mass is asymmetrically suspended on the anchor by means of two cantilevers, so that the first mass rotates about a rotation axis, for sensing the acceleration in a first direction perpendicular to the substrate. A second mass is disposed in the first mass and suspended on the first mass by means of a set of springs to sense the acceleration in a second direction parallel to the substrate. Furthermore, a third mass can be disposed in the second mass, wherein the third mass is suspended on the second mass by means of another set of springs to sense the acceleration in a third direction. The first direction, the second direction and the third direction are mutually orthogonal to each other.
