Claim:
1. An apparatus comprising: a driver configured to oscillate a proof mass of a MEMS gyroscope; a charge-to-voltage (C2V) converter configured to receive a sense signal from a MEMS gyroscope and to provide oscillation information of the proof mass; an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) configured to receive the oscillation information of the proof mass and to provide a digital representation of the oscillation information; and a digital, automatic gain control circuit configured to receive the digital representation of the oscillation information, to provide oscillation amplitude error information using a comparison of the oscillation information to target amplitude information, and to provide a digital drive command signal using an amplified representation of the oscillation amplitude error information, the digital, automatic gain control circuit includes an output stage, the output stage including:
