PROOF MASS OFFSET COMPENSATION

A microelectromechanical (MEMS) sensor comprises MEMS components located within a MEMS layer and located relative to one or more electrodes. A plurality of proof masses are located within the MEMS layer and are not electrically coupled to each other within the MEMS layer. Both the first proof mass and the second proof mass move relative to at least a common electrode of the one or more electrodes, such that the relative position of each of the proof masses relative to the electrode may be sensed. A sensed parameter may be determined based on the sensed relative positions.
