A sensor-to-microcontroller interface circuit for inductive sensors that does not require a calibration inductor is presented. Three digital ports of microcontroller, two transistors, and an embedded timer were used to measure the charging times through forward- backward-flow currents using different initial conditions. The difference between was estimate sensor inductance accurately without un...

Flexible characteristics, tunable parameters, and improved power density are the desired attributes that have led to widespread research on active capacitors inductors (ACI) in conversion systems. However, two-terminal realisation of ACI is challenging due different trade-offs between density, device stress, reliability added components. Moreover, requirement handling second-harmonic ripple mak...

a novel low noise trans-impedance amplifier is proposed using low cost 0.18 µm cmos technology. a resistive-capacitive feedback is used to extend the bandwidth of the amplifier. as the structure is inductor less, it is suitable for low cost integrated optical interconnects. in this paper improved particle swarm optimization have applied to determine optimal trans-resistance and noise of propose...

In this paper the recent trends for noise figure are streamlined in concurrence to Ultra Wide Band (UWB) radio transmission spectrum. A comparative study is made between design of single-stage differential low-noise amplifier and inductor-less broadband LNAs in a digital 45 nm CMOS technology. As we move from inductor less impedance to capacitive impedance, the average noise figure decreases in...

A new capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C(4)D) sensor with an improved simulated inductor is developed in this work. The improved simulated inductor is designed on the basis of the Riordan-type floating simulated inductor. With the improved simulated inductor, the negative influence of the coupling capacitances is overcome and the conductivity measurement is implemented b...

igh performance microprocessors require a lowvoltage, high-current power supply with fast transient response. Therefore, interleaved multiphase synchronous buck converters have gained popularity as the VRM for these microprocessors. Multiphase converters must share load current to balance thermal stress on each phase, so it’s important to address current sensing and sharing. You can use the cur...

As operation frequencies and performance requirements of wireless devices increase, the resultant demands on the performance of passive components also increase. Miniaturization of inductive components for high frequency has been a key research area to address this issue; however, in general, miniaturized integrated inductors can suffer from low Q factors and/or self-resonant frequencies when c...
