Methodology for the Digital Calibration of Analog Circuits and Systems Using Sub-binary Radix DACs

Maher Kayal, Marc Pastre

This paper presents a methodology for digitally calibrating analog circuits and systems. Based on the detection of an imperfection by a simple comparator, a successive approximations algorithm tunes a compensation current. The latter is generated by a sub- ...

A 300Hz 19b DR capacitive accelerometer based on a versatile front end in a 5th-order ΔΣ loop

Maher Kayal, Marc Pastre

This paper presents a 5th-order ΔΣ capacitive accelerometer. The ΔΣ 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 range of sensors, because the mi ...

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 model is based on a new compact model o ...

High-efficiency dynamic supply CMOS audio power amplifier for low-power applications

Maher Kayal, Marc Pastre

This paper describes the analysis and design of a dynamic supply CMOS audio power amplifier for low-power applications. The dynamic supply technique is used to increase the efficiency of a class AB power amplifier. The polarization of its output stage is a ...

A fully integrated solar battery charger

Maher Kayal, François Krummenacher, Marc Pastre

This paper presents a solar charger ASIC for Nickelbased (NiCd or NiMH) batteries. The system is fully integrated and no external component is needed. The ASIC includes a voltage reference, a low-impedance switch, an oscillator, a poweron reset, and a digi ...

Substrate current modeling for high-voltage smart power BCD technology

Maher Kayal, François Krummenacher, Marc Pastre, Fabrizio Lo Conte

This paper presents a compact- and a macro-model for estimating and simulating the perturbations induced in the substrate by high-voltage transistors switching inductive loads. On one hand, it allows the designer to predict the amount of switching noise ge ...
