Popis: This brief presents a switched-capacitor based low offset differential output sensor interface for MEMS capacitive accelerometers. The proposed interface employs an improved demodulation scheme by using a fully differential op-amp and a modified clocking scheme to reduce the zero-g offset. The interfacing Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) is designed and fabricated using UMC 180 nm CMOS process technology. The fabricated ASIC is integrated with a MEMS capacitive acceleration sensor and the measured results are presented. The proposed configuration achieves maximum sensitivity of 1.45 V/g with less than 2% non-linearity error. The zero-g offset is less than 3 milli-g while the noise floor is 200 $\mu \text{g}/\sqrt {Hz}$ approximately.
