Abstract:
A circuit for amplifying signals from a Micro Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) capacitive sensor is provided. First and second input nodes receive a sensing signal applied differentially between the input nodes. A first amplifier stage and a second amplifier stage, respectively, produce a differential output signal between first and second output nodes. A common mode signal is detected at the output nodes. A voltage divider having an intermediate tap node is coupled between the first output node and the second output node. A feedback stage is coupled between the tap node of the voltage divider and the inputs of the first amplifier stage and the second amplifier stage, where the feedback line is sensitive to the common mode signal at the output nodes.
