  • Patent number: 8938364
    Abstract: A sensor device includes: a sensor module mounted on a conductor board; a sensitive element which is sensitive to a variable; a self-test control unit implementing a self-test program, the self-test control unit applying a self-test variable to the sensitive element, taking the self-test program into account; a detection unit detecting a characteristic of the sensitive element which is altered as a result of the applied self-test variable and providing an actual self-test response, taking the altered characteristic into account; and a comparator unit provided on or in the sensor module, the comparator unit comparing the actual self-test response to at least one specified setpoint self-test response and providing comparative information.

  • Publication number: 20100206072
    Abstract: A micromechanical component may include fixed electrodes and a seismic mass, the seismic mass being connected via a suspension element to a carrier substrate and being movable with respect to it. The seismic mass may include counterelectrodes, which are interconnected via a first electrically conductive connection. The fixed electrodes may include measuring electrodes and decoupled electrodes, the measuring electrodes being provided to function for an electrical evaluation, and the counterelectrodes situated across from the decoupled electrodes being provided to function as a frequency band-altering mechanical element.
