Abstract

A phase-locked loop for a driver circuit for operating a MEMS gyroscope, including a seismic mass that is excitable into oscillations. The phase-locked loop including an input interface for receiving position signals that represent the present position of the oscillating seismic mass of the MEMS gyroscope, a phase detector for ascertaining the phase and frequency of the present oscillation movement of the seismic mass, based on the received position signals, at least two oscillators that are alternatively activatable, the alternatively activatable oscillators having different energy consumptions and/or different noise properties, and at least one output interface for outputting a signal that is provided by the oscillator that is presently activated.
