Abstract
A gyroscope includes a resonator, a transducer, and a comparator. The comparator is designed to receive an input signal from the transducer and compare the input signal with a reference signal to produce an output signal. Rising and falling edge transitions of the output signal are substantially synchronized with a motion of the resonator along a sense-axis of the transducer.
