Claim Text:
1. A round-robin sensing device comprising: a MEMS device; wherein the MEMS device includes first and second sense electrodes; a multiplexer coupled to the first and second sense electrodes; at least one sense amplifier coupled to the multiplexer; a demodulator coupled to the at least one sense amplifier; an integrate and dump circuit coupled to the demodulator; and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) coupled to a de-multiplexer; wherein the multiplexer, the at least one sense amplifier and the demodulator provide a continuous time sense path during amplification that is resettable and wherein the integrate and dump circuit and the ADC provide a discrete time processing path when switching between the first and second sense electrodes.
