[* black] Shown in this photo is the ST LYPR540AH Tri-axis MEMS gyroscope.
-[* black] To achieve the linear displacement needed to sense movement, a plate called a proof mass is oscillated by capacitive actuators.

[* black] When the package is rotated about the X or Y axes (in the plane of the die surface), coriolis forces cause the plate to move perpendicular to the die surface. When the package is rotated about the Z axis (perpendicular to the plane of the die surface), the resulting displacement of the mass is in the plane of the die surface.
