In this paper several tuning strategies for integrated active filters are discussed. Furthermore we compare two compensation schemes to decrease the temperature dependence of the transconductance value of a differential gain stage. The compensation circuitry consists of on-chip temperature sensors and a level adjustment circuit all realized by standard CMOS transistor techniques. The temperatur...

Compensation of the temperature dependence of the Verdet constant in a polarimetric extrinsic Faraday sensor is of major importance for applying the magneto-optical effect to AC current measurements and magnetic field sensing. This paper presents a method for compensating the temperature effect on the Faraday rotation in a Bi12GeO20 crystal by sensing its optical activity effect on the polariza...

A curvature compensation technique for bandgap voltage references that utilizes an adaptive reference temperature is presented. This compensation technique is intended for high-resolution temperature-stable analogdigital converters. A test circuit had been designed in a 0.6 pn CMOS technology to implement this technique. The reference voltage has a simulated temperature coefficient of 2.3 ~ p m...

Temperature compensation is an essential property of circadian oscillators which enables them to act as physiological clocks. We have analyzed the temperature compensating behavior of a generalized transcriptional-translational negative feedback oscillator with a hard hysteretic switch and rate constants with an Arrhenius-type temperature dependence. These oscillations can be considered as the ...

The sensitivity to damage achievable by guided wave structural health monitoring systems is limited by the repeatability of recorded signals under normal operating conditions. Direct subtraction of reference signals leads to unacceptably high post-subtraction noise in the presence of modest temperature changes due to variations in reflections from benign structural features, hence temperature c...

The main limitation of high-temperature piezoresistive pressure sensors is the variation of output voltage with operating temperature, which seriously reduces their measurement accuracy. This paper presents a passive resistor temperature compensation technique whose parameters are calculated using differential equations. Unlike traditional experiential arithmetic, the differential equations are...
