This paper presents a digital gyroscope interface system for high-frequency bulk-acoustic-wave (BAW) gyroscopes with in-run automatic mode-matching (AMM) capability. The presented work demonstrates the design and implementation of the dual-mode (DM) operation architecture on a flexible digital platform, which allows for low-cost rapid development and evaluation of new functions and architectures. Two prototype silicon BAW gyroscopes are tested on this platform using the proposed system to verify the advantages of the DM architecture. The AMM in DM showed below 4-ppb mode split accuracy and fast converge time without overshoot or oscillation. The DM operation with in-run AMM substantially reduced the bias drift of the gyros, leading to significantly lower rate random walk (RRW) compared to conventional single-mode (SM) operation. The performance repeatability and stability over the temperature of the DM gyro system are characterized, showing as high as $50\times $ improvement compared to the SM architecture.
