A 6.89-MHz 143-nW MEMS Oscillator Based on a 118-dBΩ Tunable Gain and Duty-Cycle CMOS TIA
This article presents a 6.89 MHz MEMS oscillator based on an ultra-low-power, low-noise, tunable gain/duty-cycle transimpedance amplifier (TIA) and a bulk Lamé-mode MEMS resonator that has a quality factor (<i>Q</i>) of 3.24 × 10<sup>6</sup>. Self-cascoding and current-starvi...
