A 15 mu W 5.5 kS/s Resistive Sensor Readout Circuit with 7.6 ENOB

Catherine Dehollain

A low power SAR logic-based resistive sensor readout circuit is proposed. A high sensitivity thermistor is used for local temperature measurements. The need for a low-noise front-end voltage amplifier is avoided by employing time-domain operation. In each ...

A Configurable IC to Control, Readout and Calibrate an Array of Biosensors

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Seyedeh Sara Ghoreishizadeh

We present a novel integrated circuit for a biosensing data acquisition chain. The circuit controls and reads out five bimolecular sensors as well as pH and temperature sensors for biosensor calibration. The IC supports both chronoamperometry (CA) a ...

Contribution to the Active Generator Principle

Antoine Béguin

This work is part of the innovative "Active Generator" (AG) project. AG is a concept that suggests a new arrangement of the turbine-generator line of a high power utility (a few hundred of MW) in order to de-synchronize the rotation speed of the turbine-ge ...

A 16-channel 220 µW neural recording IC with embedded delta compression

Alexandre Schmid, Yusuf Leblebici, Vahid Majidzadeh Bafar

A 16-channel neural action potential recording IC suitable for large-scale integration with multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) is presented. A closed-loop gain of 60 dB in the action potential band is achieved by cascading differential gain-stages utilizing a n ...

Design Tradeoffs in Ultra-Low-Power Digital Nano-Scale CMOS

Seyed Armin Tajalli, Yusuf Leblebici

In ultra-low-power (ULP) applications, the supply voltage is generally reduced well below threshold voltage of MOS devices in order to limit dissipation and to control the device leakage current due to the subthreshold channel residual current. However, re ...
