摘要: Determining if a hermetically sealed MEMs device loses hermeticity during operation. In one embodiment, the is an accelerometer. A test signal having associated frequency above operational range for accelerometer provided to at input operation of sensing acceleration. The output filtered least producing signal. then compared predetermined threshold determine amplitude differs from threshold. If threshold, error produced indicating that has been lost.
