Tunable floating active inductor with internal offset reduction

Maher Kayal, Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, François Krummenacher, Marc Pastre, Laurent Fabre, Ira Nagel

Presented is a transistor-level implementation of a floating and tunable CMOS active inductor. It is based on the classical gyrator-C topology and is enhanced by adding an internal offset reduction mechanism to guarantee functionality also for unbalanced D ...

A Miniaturized Autonomous Microsystem for Hydrogen Gas Sensing Applications

Maher Kayal, François Krummenacher, Naser Khosro Pour

This paper presents a fully integrated, ultra-low power microsystem that is used for hydrogen gas sensing in an autonomous wireless sensor node. The proposed circuit harvests solar energy from a micro-power photovoltaic module to measure temperature and hy ...

Towards circuit design using VeSFETs

Maher Kayal, Jean-Michel Sallese, François Krummenacher, Marc Pastre, Lucian Barbut

This paper explores the potential of VeFETs for mixed-signal circuits. A new physics-based compact DC model of the VeSFET operated in subthreshold region is presented and used to derive 1st-order sensitivities of the device threshold voltage to process var ...

A Physics-Based Analytical Compact Model for the Drift Region of the HV-MOSFET

Jean-Michel Sallese, François Krummenacher, Antonios Bazigos, Matthias Bucher

This paper presents a novel physics-based analytical compact model for the drift region of a high-voltage metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (HV-MOSFET). According to this model, the drift region is considered as a simple 1-D problem, just a ...

CAD tools for fast analysis of parasitic coupling and mismatch effects in switched-capacitor circuits

Maher Kayal, Sylvain Maréchal, François Krummenacher

This paper presents a switched-capacitor simulator, optimized for fast computations. Two CAD tools are implemented in order to perform Monte-Carlo simulations, to identify sensitive parasitic coupling prior to layout and to rapidly verify parasitic couplin ...

A 20-bit dynamic range CMOS A/D converter for ionization chambers

Maher Kayal, François Krummenacher, Bernd Dehning

We present the design of a wide dynamic-range CMOS A/D interface circuit for ionization chambers, able to digitize input charge of both polarities over six decades, to operate in a radioactive environment, and foreseen working without calibration. The circ ...

Optimal filtering of an incremental second-order MASH11 sigma-delta modulator

Maher Kayal, Sylvain Maréchal, François Krummenacher

This paper describes an optimal filter design procedure for a cascaded sigma-delta modulator, starting with a block schematic of a second-order topology and deriving step by step the optimal decoder. The presented filter enhances the resolution of the MASH ...

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 ...

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 ...

Spectral and polarimetric characterization of the Gas Pixel Detector filled with dimethyl ether

François Krummenacher

The Gas Pixel Detector belongs to the very limited class of gas detectors optimized for the measurement of X-ray polarization in the emission of astrophysical sources. The choice of the mixture in which X-ray photons are absorbed and photoelectrons propaga ...
