METHOD FOR OPERATING A MICROMECHANICAL COMPONENT

A method for operating a micromechanical component (a rotation rate sensor), in which a first AC electrical voltage, having a first frequency, is applied to a drive-electrode so that an oscillation apparatus is deflected parallel to a deflection direction by the drive-electrode; a second AC electric...

Zusammenfassung:A method for operating a micromechanical component (a rotation rate sensor), in which a first AC electrical voltage, having a first frequency, is applied to a drive-electrode so that an oscillation apparatus is deflected parallel to a deflection direction by the drive-electrode; a second AC electrical voltage, having a second frequency, is applied to a detection-electrode so that a force effect on the oscillation apparatus perpendicularly to the detection direction is detected by the drive-electrode, a third AC electrical voltage, having a third frequency differing from the first, is applied to the drive-electrode so that a deflection of the oscillation apparatus parallel to the deflection direction is detected by the drive-electrode; and/or that a fourth AC electrical voltage, having a fourth frequency differing from the second, is applied to the detection-electrode to exert a further force effect, opposite to the force effect, on the oscillation apparatus.
