this paper presents a novel fully differential (FD) ultra high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) current operational amplifier (COA) with very low input impedance. Its FD structure that attenuates common mode signals over all stages grants ultra high CMRR and power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) that makes it suitable for mixed mode and accurate applications. Its performance is verified by HSPI...

In most low-power systems, power management is generally thought of as being an ability to switch certain parts of a system off or put them in a low-power state when they are not required, and to manage the charging of a battery. While these are important aspects of low-power electronics powered by energy harvesters, there are much more fundamental reasons for requiring power electronics in an ...

Low-cost and low-power sensor nodes forming Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have become suitable for a wide range of applications during recent years. These networks, due to their special functional characteristics, demand the implementation of energy-aware techniques in all layers. Recently a MIMO – based structure has been proposed to offer enhanced energy savings in WSNs under certain circum...

In this paper we propose a novel functional amplifier suitable for low-power wireless receivers in a wireless sensor network. This amplifier can change input threshold level as carrier sensing level, since it has a minimum input amplitude to be amplified. A simple rail-to-rail output is suitable for a subsequent digital interface. The target frequency is 433 MHz, and the maximum voltage gain is...
