چکیده
This paper presents a new CMOS differential voltage-to-frequency converter (VFC) which targets front-end sensor interfacing in wireless sensor network applications. The proposed VFC, designed in a low-cost 0.35 μm CMOS technology supplied at 3 V, achieves high performances: power consumption below 0.3 mW, 0 2V differential input range operation and nonlinearity error less than 0.3 %. Thanks to the introduction of a very simple control circuit, linearity is preserved over variations of temperature: the error is less than 2.3 % over all the frequency range for a temperature range from -40oC to +120oC.

By using a quadratic compensation slope, a CMOS current-mode buck DC-DC converter with constant frequency characteristics over wide input and output voltage ranges has been developed. The use of a quadratic slope instead of a conventional linear slope makes both the damping factor in the transfer function and the frequency bandwidth of the current feedback loop independent of the converter’s ou...

A CMOS Current-mode DC-DC converter using a quadratic slope compensation scheme is presented. The use of a quadratic slope instead of a conventional linear slope makes a damping factor and a frequency bandwidth of a current feedback loop independent of the converter’s output voltage. Further designing the coefficient of the quadratic slope to be fully dependent of the input voltage, the damping...
