a log-domain current-mode true rms-to-dc converter based on a novel synthesis of a simplified current-mode low pass filter and a two-quadrant squarer/divider is presented. the circuit employs floating gate mos (fg-mos) transistors operating in weak inversion region. the converter features low power(<1.5uw), low supply voltage (0.9v), two quadrant input current, immunity from body effect, low ci...
full textDynamic translinear RMS-DC converter - Electronics Letters
Introduction: One of the possible techniques to cope with the restrictions imposed by llow supply voltages is instantaneous companding [l], which is an inherent characteristic of translinear (TL) filters [2], also called exponential state-space filters [3]. TL filters exploit the exponential large-signal behaviour of the bipolar, or weak inversion MOS, transistor both for an expanding capacitan...

In this paper a low-power current-mode RMS-to-DC converter is proposed. The proposed converter includes absolute value circuit, squarer/divider circuit, low-pass filter and square root circuit which employ CMOS transistors operating in weak inversion region. The RMS-to-DC converter has low power consumption (<1μW), low supply voltage (0.9V), wide input range (from 50 nA to 500 nA), low relative...
full textBulk micromachined electrostatic RMS-to-DC converter
Bulk micromachining in silicon and glass wafers and subsequent silicon-to-glass anodic bonding have been used for the realization of an electrostatic rms-to-dc converter. A suspended membrane has been designed for: large dynamic operating range (detection limit by minimum mechanical-thermal noise and high value of the pull-in voltage), maximum bandwidth (low series resistance, high second harmo...

A novel topology, Current-Fed MultiResonant DC-DC Converter (CF-MRC) was studied theoretically and experimentally. The main features of the proposed converter are an inherent protection against a short circuit at the output, a high voltage gain and zero voltage switching over a iarge range of output voitage. These characteristics make it a viable choice for the implementation of a high voltage ...
full textDigitally Controlled Current-Mode DC-DC Converter IC
The main focus of this paper is the implementation of mixed-signal peak current mode control in low-power dc–dc converters for portable applications. A DAC is used to link the digital voltage loop compensator to the analog peak current mode loop. Conventional DAC architectures, such as flash or are not suitable due to excessive power consumption and limited bandwidth of the reconstruction filte...
