Claim Text:
1. A MEMS device, comprising: a fixed supporting body; a first deformable element and a second deformable element constrained to the fixed supporting body; a mobile element interposed between, and connected to, said first and second deformable elements, the mobile element being rotatable with respect to the fixed supporting body, with consequent deformation of the first and second deformable elements; and a generator configured to cause a current to flow through the first deformable element, the mobile element and the second deformable element, so as to generate an electrical position signal proportional to a sum of a first resistance of the first deformable element and a second resistance of the second deformable element, said first and second resistances being, respectively, proportional to deformations of the first and second deformable elements and indicative of an angular position of the mobile element.
