Abstract
A method for reduces the sticking of proof masses in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) devices to sense plates in the MEMS device due to acceleration forces to which the MEMS device is subjected. The method includes determining a beginning of acceleration events which would cause proof masses to contact sense plates, reducing sense bias voltages to the sense plates, determining an end of the acceleration event, and increasing sense bias voltages to their former levels.
