This paper presents an ultra-low power, high accuracy CMOS smart temperature sensor for clinical temperature monitoring applications. The proposed sensor trades off the sensing range and the conversion speed with improved accuracy and power consumption. The sensor consists of a power optimized analog frontend and a delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ΔΣADC) with dynamic element matching (DEM), as well as a modified gain stage to optimize the sensing range and relax the resolution requirement. Using a standard 0.18μm CMOS technology, the achieved accuracy and conversion speed after one-point calibration from 27°C to 47°C are ±0.1°C and 2 sample/s, respectively, while consuming only 1.1μW power.

An ultra-low-power capacitance-to-RF (C/RF) converter for laboratory mice blood pressure monitoring is proposed. Unlike the conventional design involving capacitance-to-analog (C/A) conversion followed by analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion, the proposed front-end is a direct capacitance-to-digital (C/D) converter that can simplify the hardware while saving both power and area. The C/D converter also features an automatic capacitance-range finder mapping the input capacitance range to the full scale of the digitization core. The generated digital data is compressed before driving the back-end RF transmitter, which is based on a power-ON/OFF VCO with direct FSK modulation operated at the 915-MHz ISM band. Optimized in 65-nm CMOS, the simulated 8-bit 6.4-kSa/s C/RF converter exhibits a 7.5 effective number of bit (ENOB) and a ~0.7 V pp output swing at the RF transmitter output, while drawing 2.93 μW of power. The DNL and INL are ±0.125 and ±0.188 LSB, respectively. The attained capacitance sensing resolution is equivalent to 1.25 fF/LSB.

This paper proposes a wideband multi-stage inverter-based driver amplifier (DA) suitable for IEEE 802.22 wireless regional area network (WRAN) transmitters. In order to optimize the voltage gain, power, linearity and load drivability, the DA employs two cascaded inverters followed by a source follower, in which the second inverter employs resistive feedback and an inverter-based active load to achieve linearization. Simulated in 65 nm CMOS, the achieved voltage gain is 17.6 dB and the power is 14.6 mW at 1.2 V. The -3 dB bandwidth is 5.6 MHz to 2.17 GHz. For a 3 rd -order intermodulation distortion (IMD3) of -45 dBc, the output power reaches -7.3 dBm.

An 8b 1GS/s ADC is presented that interleaves two 2b/cycle SARs. To enhance speed and save power, the prototype utilizes segmentation switching and custom-designed DAC array with high density in a low parasitic layout structure. It operates at 1GS/s from 1V supply without interleaving calibration and consumes 3.8mW of power, exhibiting a FoM of 24fJ/conversion step. The ADC occupies an active area of 0.013mm 2 in 65nm CMOS including on-chip offset calibration.

This paper presents a 12-bit 110MS/s 4-stage pipelined SAR ADC integrated through a single low-gain op-amp. A ratio-based GEC (Gain Error Calibration) technique based on op-amp sharing is proposed to reduce the complexity of digital calibration circuit. Only one PN (Pseudo-random Number) signal is employed to perform the dither injection but calibrate multiple gain errors, and thus accelerates the convergence speed, gets rid of input signal reduction and minimizes the analog modification due to the background calibration. The effectiveness of the architecture is verified in 65-nm CMOS chips whose analog core area is 0.12 mm 2 only. The ADC obtains an average SNDR of 63 dB and SFDR of 75.2 dB at 110MS/s consuming analog power of 11.5mW from a 1.2-V supply. Only 40 thousand points are needed to achieve desirable SNDR with the proposed calibration technique.
