circuit architecture. A phase lock loop (PLL) with a hybrid and antinoise folding PFD is
employed to sustain the oscillation of the MEMS oscillator, and the oscillation amplitude is
set by an external reference. In addition, a sigma-delta frequency-to-digital converter is
combined with the PLL to digitize the accelerometer's frequency output for low power
consumption. The MEMS transducer and the readout circuit are fabricated in an 80-SOI and …
