  The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR is a planned 40 kg array of Germanium detectors
intended to demonstrate the feasibility of constructing a tonne-scale
experiment that will seek neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) in
$^{76}\mathrm{Ge}$. Such an experiment would require backgrounds of less than 1
count/tonne-year in the 4 keV region of interest around the 2039 keV Q-value of
the $\beta\beta$ decay. Designing low-noise electronics, which must be placed
in close proximity to the detectors, presents a challenge to reaching this
background target. This paper will discuss the MAJORANA collaboration's
solutions to some of these challenges.
