Capacitive MEMS accelerometers typically operate under atmospheric pressure, which allows the resonances of the element to be efficiently damped and permits, for example, an open-loop readout of the element. If the accelerometer is required to attain very low Brownian noise levels or packaged together with sensors such as a gyroscope, which necessitates the usage of vacuum packaging, the resonance modes with a high quality factor (Q) must be electrically damped. Electromechanical ΔΣ, a topology which is traditionally used for closed-loop accelerometers [1–3], becomes complex to stabilise in the presence of the high-quality-factor and high-frequency parasitic resonance modes of the element [4]. An analogue approach is commonly ignored because of the potentially poor linearity. In this paper the proposed analogue closed-loop SC interface offers good linearity and low noise combined with a simple topology using a high-Q element.
