Modeling and Simulation of the Microgyroscope Driving Loop using SPICE

A simulation model of vibratory capacitive microgyroscope and its driving loop is designed using SPICE. The vibratory microgyroscope is basically microelectromechanical system; therefore the simulation model should be expressed mechanical and electrical properties. To modelling the microgyroscope, the Analog Behavioral Model is used. In order to design a driving loop of vibratory microgyrosope, the the Barkhausen criteria is considered. The co-simulation of MEMS sensing element and its interface circuit is performed. The SPICE simulation model of the vibratory microgyrocope is designed, and the driving loop of the microgyroscope is simulated using the designed simulation model. The simulation results demonstrate the validity of the designed model and its interface circuit
