Title
A Low-Power Edge Detection Technique for Sensor Wake-Up Applications
Abstract
A novel low-power edge detection circuit is presented in this work. Upon the arrival of signal falling edge, the proposed design establishes a small voltage difference between the gate and source terminals of a MOS transistor which slightly increases the MOS transistor leakage current. A current integration-based approach is used to robustly sense the current change and subsequently detect the signal falling edge. The design is suitable for ultra-low-power sensor wake-up circuits. Design guidelines for achieving optimal detection sensitivity as well as the implementation of calibration circuits for coping with process variations and mismatches are discussed in the paper. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed circuit.
