Abstract:
This paper proposes a low power read-out integrated circuit (ROIC) for multiple sensors having a DC output signal. It comprises a chopper-stabilized instrumentation amplifier (CSIA) followed by a second-order incremental analog-to-digital converter (IADC). The CSIA has a dual-frequency path to effectively eliminate any 1/f noise and offset. A variable gain module (VGM) is also connected to the CSIA to improve its range of potential applications. A CMOS buffer amplifier followed by the CSIA is used to achieve the ROIC's linearity and drive capability. The back-end of the ROIC has a switched-capacitor IADC to provide a digital output. The correlated double sampling (CDS) technique was used in the IADC's first integrator to reduce the offset and noise. The combination of these techniques enables the ROIC to achieve an input referred offset of 5 mu V and a best error voltage of +/- 0.01 mV. The ROIC was implemented in 0.18 mu m CMOS technology. It occupies an area of approximately 2.56 mm(2) and consumes 835 mu A of current from a 1.6V of supply voltage.
