Abstract
A micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) device comprises an inertial component configured for being connected to a structure by a flexible connection allowing the inertial component to deform or move relative to the structure in response to an external stimulus applied to the structure. One or more resonant components are connected to the structure or inertial component, the resonant component(s) having resonant mode(s). Transduction unit(s) measures an oscillatory motion of the resonant component relative to the inertial component and/or structure. An electronic control unit applies a pump of electrostatic force to induce an oscillatory motion of the resonant component(s) in the resonant mode, the oscillatory motion being a non-linear function of a strength of the electrostatic force. The resonant component is configured to be coupled to the inertial component and/or the structure such that a deformation and/or motion of the inertial component in response to an external stimulus changes the strength of the pump, the electronic control unit configured for producing and outputting an output signal being a mathematical function of the measured oscillatory motion. A system for produc…
