A Low-Noise Low-Offset Chopper Stabilized Capacitive Readout Amplifier for CMOS MEMS Accelerometer

A CMOS chopper stabilized amplifier with dc/ac offset cancellation is designed for capacitive readout of motion in MEMS structures. It achieves 40 nV/rtHz noise floor, 10 uV DC offset, and 40 dB of sensor offset reduction. This amplifier, integrated into a monolithic CMOS MEMS accelerometer, achieves 50 ug/rtHz noise floor. It is one of the lowest noise floors ever reported by surface micromachined MEMS accelerometers.
