A Navigation-Grade MEMS Accelerometer based on a Versatile Front End

Maher Kayal, Marc Pastre

This paper presents a MEMS-based 5th-order Delta Sigma capacitive accelerometer. The Delta Sigma loop is implemented in mixed signal, the global 5th-order filter having a 2nd-order analog and a 3rd-order digital part. The system can be used with a wide ran ...

A fully integrated Hall sensor microsystem with current-mode output

Maher Kayal, Marc Pastre, Andrea Ajbl

This paper presents a fully integrated Hall sensor microsystem with a current-mode output. The system operates in open-loop and includes a Hall sensor with internal biasing, a fully differential front-end, a preamplifier chain and a voltage-to-current conv ...

A current-mode back-end for a sensor microsystem

Maher Kayal, Marc Pastre, Andrea Ajbl

is paper presents a voltage-to-current converter as a current-mode output buffering stage for sensor interfaces. The converter can be used in any microsystem needing a current output. It is presented here in the context of a Hall sensor microsystem. The sy ...

Inversion factor based design methodology using the EKV MOS model

Maher Kayal, Marc Pastre, Andrea Ajbl

This paper presents a hierarchical design methodology based on the inversion factor (IF) as a key design parameter and the equations of the EKV MOS Model. A structured design approach is used to allow high flexibility. The efficiency of the methodology is ...

Global modeling strategy of parasitic coupled currents induced by minority-carrier propagation in semiconductor substrates

Maher Kayal, Jean-Michel Sallese, François Krummenacher, Marc Pastre, Fabrizio Lo Conte

This paper presents a modeling strategy to simulate the propagation of electrical perturbations induced by direct biasing of substrate junctions. Usually, this is done by identifying parasitic substrate devices such as bipolar transistors. However, mapping ...

A circuit-level substrate current model for smart-power ICs

Maher Kayal, Jean-Michel Sallese, François Krummenacher, Marc Pastre, Fabrizio Lo Conte

This paper presents a new modeling methodology accounting for generation and propagation of minority carriers that can be used directly in circuit-level simulators in order to estimate coupled parasitic currents. The method is based on a new compact model ...
