A 15-MHz, 2.7-mm2 Notch-Free Hybrid Magnetic Current Sensor With Feedforward Ripple Cancellation and ±0.8% Local Gain Non-Uniformity

A 15-MHz, 2.7-mm2 Notch-Free Hybrid Magnetic Current Sensor With Feedforward Ripple Cancellation and ±0.8% Local Gain Non-Uniformity 150 150

Abstract:

This article proposes a hybrid magnetic current sensor achieving a 15-MHz bandwidth within a compact 2.7-mm2 area. To mitigate the pole–zero mismatch inherent in the two-stage integrator topology, a dual-output Gm-C integrator with subtractor-based compensation is proposed, achieving a ±0.8% local gain non-uniformity. A wideband feedforward ripple suppression scheme cancels …

A High-Linearity Shunt-Based In-Line Current Sensor With Self-Heating Compensation and 14.4 V 2 MHz PWM Rejection

A High-Linearity Shunt-Based In-Line Current Sensor With Self-Heating Compensation and 14.4 V 2 MHz PWM Rejection 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a cost-effective, fully integrated shunt-resistor-based in-line current sensor that delivers high linearity and strong PWM rejection, enabling precise current measurement and control in dynamic driving systems like robotics, imaging, and audio. To mitigate the self-heating of the on-chip shunt resistor, which degrades linearity, a location-based thermal compensation …

QVGA CMOS LiDAR Sensor With nMOS-Only SPAD Analog Front-End and Area-Efficient Priority Histogramming TDC

QVGA CMOS LiDAR Sensor With nMOS-Only SPAD Analog Front-End and Area-Efficient Priority Histogramming TDC 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a high-resolution (HR) CMOS light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor capable of generating quarter video graphics array (QVGA) ( $320~{\times }~240$ ) depth images. To support high pixel density, the sensor employs a compact 6-transistor (6-T) nMOS-only single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) analog front-end (AFE) with a column-shared active recharge circuit. …
