Abstract:
In this letter, a sustainable status monitoring of MOSFETs in a fully integrated two stage RF amplifier by thermal voltage sensing of on-chip thermopile is implemented in 0.18- $\mu \text{m}$ CMOS technology. The designed micro-thermopile consists of many thermocouples electrically connected in series by Al and P-type polysilicon, which …
