A 23.9-μW 13.6-Bit Period Modulation-Based Capacitance-to-Digital Converter With Dynamic Current Mirror Front-End 150 150

Abstract:

This letter proposes a low-power high-precision capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC) utilizing a dynamic current mirror (DCM) to transform a sensor input capacitance $(C_{\mathrm{ IN}})$ into an output current. The resulting current is directly proportional to the ratio of $C_{\mathrm{ IN}}$ to an internal reference capacitor $(C_{\mathrm {REF}})$ and …

A 300- $\mu$ W 2.4-GHz PVT-Insensitive Subthreshold Reference-Based LNA 150 150

Abstract:

This article introduces a novel ultra-low-power reference-based low-noise amplifier (LNA) designed to reduce performance variations due to process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) when operating in the subthreshold region. The LNA is embedded within a reference circuit that directly controls the performance of the LNA over PVT variations. By combining the …
