Abstract:
A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometer is described. The MEMS accelerometer is arranged to limit distortions in the detection signal caused by displacement of the anchor(s) connecting the MEMS accelerometer to the underlying substrate. The MEMS accelerometer may include masses arranged to move in opposite directions in response to an acceleration of the MEMS accelerometer, and to move in the same direction in response to displacement of the anchor(s). The masses may, for example, be hingedly coupled to a beam in a teeter-totter configuration. Motion of the masses in response to acceleration and anchor displacement may be detected using capacitive sensors.

Claim (Index 17):
A method for detecting acceleration using a micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS) accelerometer, the method comprising:\n sensing motion of a proof mass in a first direction in response to acceleration of the MEMS accelerometer to obtain a first detection signal, the proof mass being coupled to at least one anchor; sensing motion of a counter-balance mass in a direction that is opposite from the first direction in response to the acceleration of the MEMS accelerometer to obtain a second detection signal, the counter-balance mass being coupled to the at least one anchor; sensing motion of the proof mass in a second direction in response to displacement of the at least one anchor to obtain a third detection signal; sensing motion of the counter-balance mass in the second direction in response to the displacement of the at least one anchor to obtain a fourth detection signal; and detecting the acceleration of the MEMS accelerometer using the first, second, third and fourth detection signals.
