Title
A low-power capacitance to pulse width converter for MEMS interfacing
Abstract
A compact converter from capacitance to pulse width, suitable for interfacing integrated capacitive sensors is described. The circuit has been designed and fabricated using 0.32 mu m/3.3 V CMOS devices from the BCD6s process of STMicroelectroncs and occupies an area of 1025 x 515 mu m(2). Measurements performed on the test chip showed an excellent linearity, a temperature drift of 300 ppm/"C, and power consumption as low as 84 mu W for continuous operation.
