This new approach differs from previous work by creating the reduced order model (ROM) directly from an accurate, nonlinear, multi-physics representation. The mechanical and electrical nonlinearities of the MEMS structure are persevered to capture effects such as quadrature, amplitude-dependent frequency shifting and electrostatic softening. The reduction algorithm has been implemented in the commercial MEMS/IC co-design tool MEMS+. The approach's effectiveness is validated for a state-of-the-art, three-axis, capacitive gyroscope from Murata Electronics by comparing simulations of the created Verilog-A model with experimental data.","PeriodicalId":430128,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Inertial Sensors and Systems (ISISS) Proceedings","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127806769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dithered stage is capable of pure sinusoidal angular rates at 0-300 deg/s even after being loaded with a gyroscope die, to extract the scale factor and the bias. The stage has the added capability of X-Y in-plane acceleration stimulus 0-90 m/s2 to extract the cross-axis sensitivities which are essential parameters.
