Abstract
MEMS gyroscopes are often integrated in modern electronic products for measuring orientation or rotation in those products. However, these MEMS gyroscopes are often inaccurate. The invention provides a compensation circuit to compensate for errors causing a distortion of a measured Coriolis force. The compensation circuit demodulates an input signal provided by the MEMS gyroscope to produce a quadrature signal indicative of the quadrature error and provides a compensation signal to the MEMS gyroscope for actively compensating the quadrature error.
