Title
An 8MHz 31.25kS/s Impedance-Monitoring IC Based on IF-Sampling Architecture with a Band-Pass Delta-Sigma ADC
Abstract
We present an impedance-monitoring IC achieving a wide frequency range (FR) and fast output data rate (ODR). The proposed IC support a wide FR with improved spectral density by down-converting the signal to the intermediate frequency (f <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">IF</inf> ) in front of the instrumentation amplifier (IA) using the LO signal generated by a single-side-band (SSB) mixer. The proposed IF-sampling architecture does not require narrow-bandwidth (BW) low-pass filter (LPF), resulting in a fast ODR. A time-interleaved (TI) DFT is also employed to further improve the ODR. A band-pass delta-sigma ADC (BP-ΔΣ-ADC) with the auto-calibration and BP truncation is adopted to achieve the best noise performance at f <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">IF</inf> . The fabricated IC achieves 0.35Ω <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">RMS</inf> resolution in the FR from 4kHz to 8MHz with 122.1Hz BW while providing the ODR up to 31.25kS/s.
