摘要
This paper presents a brief review of continuous-time, low-power integrated CMOS analog front-ends (AFEs) for capacitive transducers, such as MEMS microphones. Source follower (SF), common source (CS), differential amplifier (DA) and differential difference amplifier (DDA) are compared in terms of input-referred noise, current consumption and acoustic overload point. All interface circuits have been theoretically analyzed, designed, and simulated. The SF structure turns out to be the best solution in all aspects. The main limiting factor for the noise performance turns out to be the flicker noise component.
