Assignee: ANALOG DEVICES, INC.
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 9:
10. A microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometer, comprising:
a substrate disposed in a plane defined by a first axis and a second axis perpendicular to the first axis;
a first proof mass coupled to the substrate via an anchor disposed in a center of the MEMS accelerometer;
a second proof mass coupled to the substrate via the anchor and to the first proof mass;
a first lever coupled to the first proof mass and the second proof mass; and
a second lever coupled to the first proof mass and the second proof mass, wherein:
the first and second proof masses are configured to translate along a third axis perpendicular to the first and second axes in response to acceleration along the third axis; and
the MEMS accelerometer exhibits symmetry about the first and second axes.
