AI Technical Summary
During the manufacturing process of capacitive MEMS sensors, problems such as irregular comb teeth and asymmetrical support beams can cause the drive shaft and detection shaft to be not completely perpendicular, resulting in mechanical coupling. This affects the accuracy of the detection signal, especially the zero bias error and the drift and instability of the scaling factor.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of sensing technology, and in particular to an interface circuit and a method for suppressing quadrature errors in a capacitive MEMS sensor. Background Technology
[0002] Capacitive sensors, with their high sensitivity and non-contact characteristics, are widely used in precision measurement, industrial inspection, and consumer electronics. Taking MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) gyroscopes as an example, they offer advantages such as high integration, low cost, high precision, and the ability to be mass-produced and adjusted. The navigation calculations, platform stabilization, and attitude measurement functions of MEMS gyroscopes are widely used in the defense industry and smart devices.
[0003] A capacitive sensor contains a movable mass and measures the angular velocity along the detection axis using the Coriolis effect. When an input angular velocity exists along the detection axis, the Coriolis effect couples the energy along the driving axis to the sensing axis. By detecting the motion of the movable mass along the sensing axis, the input angular velocity can be obtained.
[0004] However, due to limitations in the manufacturing process of capacitive sensors, problems such as irregular comb teeth and asymmetrical support beams exist during actual production. This results in the drive shaft and detection shaft of the capacitive sensor not being completely perpendicular or not completely coincident with the designed elastic main shaft, thus generating significant mechanical coupling. When there is no angular velocity input, some of the motion in the drive mode (i.e., the zero-bias error) will also couple to the detection mode, affecting the accuracy of the detection signal to some extent. This, in turn, causes the zero-bias error and scale factor drift and instability of the capacitive sensor. Summary of the Invention

[0067] Various embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the various drawings, the same elements are indicated by the same or similar reference numerals. For clarity, the various parts in the drawings are not drawn to scale.
[0068] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a capacitive sensing system is shown.
[0069] like Figure 1 As shown, the sensing system 100 includes an angular velocity sensor 110 and an interface circuit 120.
[0070] The angular velocity sensor 110 includes at least a mass block 111, a drive capacitor 112 disposed along a drive axis (e.g., the x-axis), and a detection capacitor 113 disposed along a detection axis (e.g., the y-axis). The detection electrode is connected to the detection capacitor 113, and the drive electrode is connected to the drive capacitor 112.
[0071] Interface circuit 120 includes driving circuit 130 and detection circuit 140. Driving circuit 130 includes a first amplification unit 131, a phase-locked loop, and an automatic gain control unit 132, used to drive angular velocity sensor 110 to a resonant state, for example, constant frequency and constant amplitude oscillation. Detection circuit 140 mainly includes a second amplification unit 141, a demodulation unit 142, and an analog-to-digital converter 143, used to detect weak signals and digitally demodulate Coriolis signals.
[0072] In driving mode, the first amplification unit 131, phase-locked loop, and automatic gain control unit 132 in the driving circuit 130 provide driving voltage to the driving electrode in the angular velocity sensor 110 connected to the driving capacitor 112. This causes the angular velocity sensor 110 to operate in a resonant state in the drive shaft direction (e.g., the x-axis direction).
[0073] In the detection mode, the external input angular velocity (e.g., the angular velocity input in the z-axis direction) generates a Coriolis force along the direction of motion of the detection mode, thereby producing displacement on the detection axis (e.g., the y-axis direction). The detection circuit 140 reads the vibration displacement caused by the Coriolis force and then converts it into a detection signal (e.g., a voltage signal) that is proportional to the input angular velocity and easy to read.
[0074] However, due to limitations in the manufacturing process of capacitive sensors, problems such as irregular comb teeth and asymmetrical support beams exist in actual production and processing. This causes the drive shaft and detection shaft of the capacitive sensor to be not completely perpendicular or not completely coincident with the designed elastic main shaft, resulting in significant mechanical coupling. When there is no angular velocity input, the motion in the drive mode will also partially couple to the detection mode, affecting the output of the detection signal to a certain extent (i.e., zero bias error). This, in turn, causes zero bias error and scale factor drift and instability in the capacitive sensor. Among the factors causing output error, the drive displacement (drive displacement...) is the most significant. The displacement is along the x-axis. Due to manufacturing errors, the vibration displacement along the detection axis (i.e., the y-axis) in the detection mode will be affected. The orthogonal error that couples to the detection capacitor 113 and varies is the biggest factor that has an impact.
[0075] The typical detection circuit 140 amplifies the signal acquired by the detection electrodes and uses coherent demodulation technology to eliminate most of the quadrature errors to obtain the intermediate signal. and intermediate signals Analog-to-digital conversion yields a detection signal proportional to the input angular velocity. However, since a phase difference inevitably exists between the phase of the coherent demodulated signal and the phase of the quadrature error signal, the residual error still needs to be eliminated.
[0076] Existing technologies also employ the simultaneous demodulation of the in-phase and quadrature components of the signal, then subtract the product of the quadrature component and the phase difference from the in-phase signal to further eliminate quadrature errors. However, the phase difference between the quadrature signal and the demodulation clock is related to parameters such as resonant frequency and circuit delay, and is a quantity that varies with process technology, temperature, and stress. Existing technologies typically treat the phase difference between the quadrature signal and the demodulation clock as a fixed value or a temperature-dependent variable as a coefficient for eliminating quadrature errors. This means that quadrature error components caused by other non-ideal characteristics and stress variations cannot be effectively eliminated, affecting the accuracy of input angular velocity detection.
[0077] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
[0078] Capacitive MEMS sensors can be categorized into two types based on their operating mode: mode matching and mode splitting. They can also be classified into two types based on their detection principle: open-loop detection and closed-loop detection. Mode splitting and open-loop detection architectures offer advantages such as system simplicity, low power consumption, and high bandwidth, and are widely used in consumer gyroscopes.
[0079] The working principle of capacitive MEMS sensors is based on energy coupling and transfer between the driving mode and the detection mode. The sensing system includes a capacitive MEMS sensor (mechanical part) and an interface circuit (circuit part). In the driving mode, the capacitive MEMS sensor, under the action of the driving circuit in the interface circuit, acts like a resonator in the first direction (driving axis direction, e.g., the X direction) and operates in a resonant state. In the detection mode, the externally input angular velocity generates a Coriolis force along the direction of motion of the detection mode, thereby producing displacement in the second direction (detection axis direction, e.g., the Y direction). The detection circuit reads the vibration displacement caused by the Coriolis force and then converts it into a voltage signal that is proportional to the input angular velocity and easy to read through signal transformation.

[0081] like Figure 2 As shown, the sensing system 200 includes a capacitive MEMS sensor 210 and an interface circuit 220.
[0082] The capacitive MEMS sensor 210 is, for example, a MEMS linear vibration angular velocity sensor. The capacitive MEMS sensor 210 includes at least a mass block 111, a driving capacitor 112 disposed along a driving axis (e.g., the x-axis), a torsion electrode 214, and a detection capacitor 113 disposed along a detection axis (e.g., the y-axis). The detection electrode is connected to the detection capacitor 113, and the driving electrode is connected to the driving capacitor 112.
[0083] The interface circuit 220 includes a driving circuit 130, a detection circuit 240, and a signal processing circuit 250.
[0084] The drive circuit 130 acquires the first direction displacement x from the capacitive MEMS sensor 210. And according to the displacement x in the first direction Provide driving voltage to the driving electrode This causes the capacitive MEMS sensor 210 to resonate along a first direction. In an alternative embodiment, the displacement in the first direction can also be a differential signal acquired through a set of sensing capacitors.
[0085] The detection circuit 240 acquires the second-direction displacement y from the capacitive MEMS sensor 210. The second directional displacement signal is amplified and converted to obtain a detection signal Out0, which includes an orthogonal error component and the input angular velocity. In this embodiment, the second directional displacement is a differential signal acquired by a set of detection capacitors. In an alternative embodiment, the second directional displacement can also be a single signal acquired by a side detection capacitor.
[0086] The signal processing circuit 250 performs in-phase quadrature demodulation on the detection signal Out0, and then performs quadrature demodulation based on the demodulated quadrature components. , in-phase component The error elimination coefficient is used to obtain the output signal Output, which represents the input angular velocity. Further, the signal processing circuit 250 also obtains the demodulated quadrature and in-phase components without applying electrostatic force to the torsion electrode, obtains the demodulated quadrature and in-phase components with electrostatic force applied to the torsion electrode, and obtains the error elimination coefficient based on the changes in the in-phase and quadrature components before and after the electrostatic force is applied to the torsion electrode.
[0087] like Figure 3 As shown, the capacitive MEMS sensor 210 can be equivalently represented as a "spring-mass-damping" system. The x-axis (drive axis) represents the vibration direction of the drive mode, the y-axis (detection axis) represents the vibration direction of the detection mode, and the z-axis (sensing axis) represents the input direction of the external angular velocity. In the drive mode, the mass 111 of the capacitive MEMS sensor 210 resonates in the x-axis direction. When an angular velocity is input in the z-axis direction... At that time, the mass block 111 is subjected to the Coriolis force in the y direction, resulting in vibration displacement. The detection electrodes S+ and S- convert displacement changes into capacitance changes, which are then converted into digital signals by the detection circuit 240.
[0088] Based on the working principle of capacitive MEMS sensors, the following dynamic equation can be obtained: .
[0089] in, Let be the equivalent mass of mass block 111 in the driving mode. Let the mass block 111 be the equivalent mass in the detection mode. For Coriolis quality, Here, x is the input angular velocity, x is the driving displacement of the driving mode, and y is the vibration displacement of the detection mode. To drive the equivalent stiffness of the mode, For the equivalent damping of the driving mode, To detect the equivalent damping of the modes, The electrostatic driving force for driving the mode, To detect the feedback force of the modal, To drive the speed of the driving mode, To detect the vibration velocity of the modes, For driving mode acceleration, To detect the vibration acceleration of the modal.
[0090] To input the Coriolis force caused by the angular velocity on the drive shaft, - The Coriolis force caused by the input angular velocity on the detection axis. This is due to the electrostatic driving force under the driving mode. The Coriolis force on the drive shaft is much greater than the input angular velocity. Therefore, the Coriolis force in the driving mode can be ignored. Furthermore, in the detection mode under open-loop conditions... =0. Therefore, the above dynamic equation can be further simplified to:
[0091] .
[0092] Ideally, the capacitive MEMS sensor 210 is only affected by the Coriolis effect in the detection mode, thus producing a vibration displacement proportional to the Coriolis force. However, due to the presence of orthogonal errors in the micromechanical structure, the detection signal Out0 output by the detection circuit 240 contains an orthogonal error signal with a 90° phase difference from the Coriolis signal. Therefore, formula (4) is adjusted to the following:
[0093] (5).
[0094] in, - To input the Coriolis force caused by the angular velocity on the detection axis, - It is an elastic coupling force.
[0095] Due to limitations in the manufacturing process of capacitive sensors, capacitive MEMS sensors 210 exhibit various types of error coupling between modes. Among these, elastic coupling occurs because the elastic axis is not perfectly aligned with the driving and detection axes, causing the resonance of the driving mode to couple to the detection mode, resulting in an elastic coupling force. Compared to the Coriolis force introduced on the detection axis by the input angular velocity This cannot be ignored, as it directly affects the performance of the capacitive MEMS sensor 210.
[0096] Ideally, such as Figure 4 As shown. In the driving mode, without external angular velocity input, the detection frame is stationary, and the driving frame and mass block 111 move along the driving axis (e.g., the x-axis). When there is angular velocity input, the driving frame and the detection frame move along the driving axis (e.g., the x-axis) and the detection axis (e.g., the y-axis), respectively. The mass block 111 moves in an elliptical motion along its major and minor axes (which coincide with the driving axis and the detection axis, respectively).
[0097] In practical applications, such as Figure 5 As shown. Manufacturing errors cause a certain directional angle between the spring principal axis and the inertial principal axis of the capacitive MEMS sensor 210. This results in orthogonal motion, and the motion of mass block 111 is an elliptical motion in which the major and minor axes do not coincide with the drive axis and the detection axis.
[0098] The driving circuit 130 includes a first amplification unit 131, a phase-locked loop, and an automatic gain control unit 132, used to drive the capacitive MEMS sensor 210 to a resonant state, for example, a constant frequency and constant amplitude oscillation. The driving circuit 130 provides a driving voltage... The phase-locked loop in the drive circuit 130 and the phase-locked loop in the automatic gain control unit 132 provide stable frequency signals. The phase-locked loop in the drive circuit 130 and the automatic gain control unit in the automatic gain control unit 132 provide variable voltage. In the driving mode of the sensing system 200, the capacitive MEMS sensor 210 operates at a driving voltage. Under its influence, a driving displacement is generated in the x-axis direction. Furthermore, the drive circuit 130 also provides in-phase demodulation parameters. and orthogonal demodulation parameters .
[0099] The detection circuit 240 mainly includes a second amplification unit 141 and an analog-to-digital converter 143, used to obtain the detection signal and digitally demodulate the Coriolis signal. In the detection mode of the sensing system 200, when there is an angular velocity input in the z-axis direction, considering the effects of orthogonality error and the delay of the detection circuit 240, the vibration displacement of the detection mode... Including Coriolis displacement and orthogonal displacement ,Right now Vibration displacement under detection modes After amplification and analog-to-digital conversion by the second amplification unit 141 and the analog-to-digital converter 143, the detection signal Out0, which includes the quadrature error component and the input angular velocity, is obtained.
[0100] The signal processing circuit 250 includes a demodulation unit 251, an error elimination coefficient generation unit 252, and a logic unit 253.
[0101] The error elimination coefficient generation unit 252 provides an electrostatic force F to the torsion electrode and generates an error elimination coefficient. The electrostatic force is a differential signal, which can be a digital signal or an analog signal. Exemplarily, the differential signal provided by the error elimination coefficient generation unit 252 in this embodiment is a digital signal. In an alternative embodiment, the signal processing circuit 240 further includes a digital-to-analog converter unit to convert the differential signal provided by the error elimination coefficient generation unit 252 into an analog signal and provide it to the torsion electrode. Further, the error elimination coefficient generation unit 252 is connected to the demodulation unit 251, acquiring the demodulated quadrature and in-phase components when no electrostatic force is applied to the torsion electrode, and acquiring the demodulated quadrature and in-phase components when an electrostatic force is applied to the torsion electrode, and obtaining the error elimination coefficient based on the changes in the in-phase and quadrature components before and after the electrostatic force is applied to the torsion electrode.
[0102] Furthermore, the error elimination coefficient generation unit 252 in the signal processing circuit 250 obtains the error elimination coefficient during the calibration or operation phase of the capacitive sensing system. For example, the error elimination coefficient generation unit 252 can obtain the error elimination coefficient during the factory calibration of the sensing system 200, or during the overall calibration of the sensing system 200, or during use. The error elimination coefficient obtained above can take into account the impact of environmental changes on residual orthogonal errors, thus improving the orthogonal error suppression effect.
[0103] Demodulation unit 251 is connected to analog-to-digital converter 143 and phase-locked loop and automatic gain control unit 132, and is used to demodulate the detection signal Out0 to obtain quadrature components. and in-phase components Furthermore, the detection signal Out0 is demodulated in phase according to the in-phase demodulation parameters to obtain the demodulated in-phase component.
