Patent ID: 10393522

Abstract:
A device includes a proof mass of a sensor, capacitive elements, an electrode circuitry, a time multiplexing circuitry, a sense circuitry, and a force feedback circuitry. The proof mass moves from a first position to a second position responsive to an external actuation. The capacitive elements change capacitive charge in response thereto. The electrode circuitry coupled to the capacitive elements generates a charge signal. The time multiplexing circuitry pass the charge signal during a sensing time period and prevents the charge signal from passing through during a forcing time period. The sense circuitry generates a sensed signal from the charge signal. The force feedback circuitry applies a charge associated with the sensed signal to the electrode circuitry during the forcing time period. The electrode circuitry applies the charge received from the force feedback circuitry to the capacitive elements, moving the proof mass from the second position to another position.
