| [* black] The picture of the die you see on the left is that of the GK10A MEMS die, found in the L3G4200D. |
| [* black] The GK10A is comprised of a plate, called the "proof mass," that vibrates ([link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillate|oscillates]) when a drive signal is applied to set of drive capacitor plates. |
| [* black] When a user rotates the phone, the proof mass gets displaced in the X, Y, and Z directions by [link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_effect|Coriolis] forces. An ASIC processor senses the proof mass' displacement through capacitor plates located underneath the proof mass, as well as finger capacitors at the edges of the package. |
