Feasibility Study of Analogue and Digital Temperature Sensors in Nanoscale CMOS Technologies

The downscaling of CMOS technology gives rise to a myriad of nanoscale effects. At the same time, power density and thus heat generation increases. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the feasibility of both analogue and digital temperature sensors in nanoscale CMOS using the Berkeley Predictive Technology Model (BPTM) for 65nm. For the oscillator-based digital sensor presented, a sensitivity ...

Comparison of CMOS and PSP intraoral digital sensors in the diagnosis of secondary caries adjacent to amalgam restorations

Background and Aim: Considering the consequences of false positive (FP) and false negative (FN) diagnoses as well as the lack of information on the diagnostic ability of photostimulable phosphor plate (PSP) and complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensors in the detection of secondary caries, this study aimed to compare the diagnostic ability of these two sensors in the detection of s...

Digital-Centric RF CMOS Technologies

Analog-centric RFCMOS technology has played an important role in motivating the change of technology from conventional discrete device technology or bipolar IC technology to CMOS technology. However it introduces many problems such as poor performance, susceptibility to PVT fluctuation, and cost increase with technology scaling. The most important advantage of CMOS technology compared with lega...

CMOS digital pixel sensors: technology and applications

CMOS active pixel sensor technology, which is widely used these days for digital imaging, is based on analog pixels. Transition to digital pixel sensors can boost signal-to-noise ratios and enhance image quality, but can increase pixel area to dimensions that are impractical for the high-volume market of consumer electronic devices. There are two main approaches to digital pixel design. The fir...
