Patent ID: 6928872

Claim:
An integrated gyroscope, including an acceleration sensor comprising: a first driving assembly; a first sensitive mass extending in a first direction and a second direction, said first sensitive mass being moved by said driving assembly in said first direction; a first capacitive sensing electrode, facing said first sensitive mass, the first driving assembly, first sensitive mass, and first sensing electrode being components of a first part of the acceleration sensor; a second driving assembly; a second sensitive mass extending in the first direction and the second direction, said second sensitive mass being moved by said second driving assembly in said first direction; and a second capacitive sensing electrode, facing said second sensitive mass, the second driving assembly, second sensitive mass, and second sensing electrode being components of a second part of the acceleration sensor, symmetrical to the first part, the first and second driving assemblies being connected by central springs; wherein said acceleration sensor has a rotation axis parallel to said second direction, and said first and second sensitive masses are sensitive to forces acting in a third direction perpendicular to said first and second directions.
