Gyroscope open loop architectures: a mixed signal design playground

Consumer grade gyroscopes requirements focus on cost effective and low power products, led to the development of open loops architectures.
This talk will present several solutions for gyroscope frontend and drive control, analyzing tradeoffs and impact on the design of blocks on the analog and digital domain.

Francesco Diazzi is Senior ASIC Development Manager at Bosch Sensortec, where he is leading ASIC design, verification and testing activities.
He has been designing analog frontend circuits and mixed-signal architectures for gyroscopes sensors, present in several inertial measurements units released for the consumer market.
Before joining Bosch Sensortec, he was sensing system engineer at Apple Inc., where he contributed to motion and environmental sensors specification and integration for the end-user products. He is author of a dozen on patents on gyroscope frontends and holds a M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from Denmark Technical University (2010) and an M.Sc.  degree in Electronic Engineering from Politecnico di Milano (2011).
