Abstract
A simple and high-sensitivity 0.35 mum CMOS readout circuit for resonant M/NEMS with capacitive sensing is presented. The proposed readout scheme presents an equivalent transimpedance gain of 140 dB Omega (at 1 MHz) and an input referred noise of 29 nV/Hz1/2. Detection of submicrometre-scale cantilever vibrations in the MHz range is demonstrated with a displacement resolution of 33 ffn/Hz1/2.
