	Design of a Variable Capacitance Sense Amplifier for use in a MEMS Probe-based Data Storage System
	M. Kruvczuk ABSTRACT:
	This thesis describes the design of a variable capacitance sense amplifier which is to be used in a MEMS probe-based data storage system being developed at Carnegie Mellon University. The basic operation of the data storage system and how a capacitive sensor is used is described. In order to achieve low noise requirements a sense amplifier system which uses correlated double sampling is designed. A folded cascode amplifier meets the needs of the correlated double sampling system. A chip is designed, submitted for fabrication and tested.
