Yayın An accurate CMOS interface small capacitance variation sensing circuit for capacitive sensor applications(Springer Birkhauser, 2017-12) Momen, Hadi Ghasemzadeh; Yazgı, Metin; Köprü, Ramazan; Naderi Saatlo, AliIn this paper, an accurate front-end CMOS interface circuit for sensing very small capacitance changes in capacitive sensors is presented. The proposed structure scales capacitance variation to the sensible impedance changing. The scaling factor of the circuit can be easily tuned by adjusting bias points of the transistors. In order to cancel or decrease the parasitic components, the RC feedback and input transistor cascading techniques are employed in the design. To simulate the circuit, HSPICE simulator is utilized to verify the validity of the theoretical formulations in 0.18 mu m technology. According to schematic and post-layout simulation results, input impedance changes linearly versus capacitance variations up to 0.7 GHz, while the sensor capacitance changing is varied between 0 and 200 fF. According to the simulation results, total dc power consumption is obtained as low as 1 mW with 0.9 V power supply.Yayın Low-loss active inductor with independently adjustable self-resonance frequency and quality factor parameters(Elsevier Science BV, 2017-06) Köprü, Ramazan; Momen, Hadi Ghasemzadeh; Yazgı, Metin; Saatlo, Ali NaderiThis work presents a new low-loss active inductor whose self-resonance frequency and quality factor parameters can be adjusted independently from each other. In order to achieve this property, a new input topology has been employed which consists of cascode structure with a diode connected transistor. Furthermore, the proposed input topology makes the device robust in terms of its performance over variation in process, voltage and temperature. Additionally, RC feedback is used to cancel series-loss resistance of the active inductor, which allows self-resonant enhancement as well. Schematic and post-layout simulation results show the theoretical validity of the design. To validate the design feasibility for process, voltage and temperature changes, Monte Carlo and temperature analysis are done. Suggested structure shows inductor behavior in the frequency range of 0.3–11.3 GHz. Maximum quality factor is obtained as high as 2.1k at 5.9 GHz. Total power consumption is as low as 1 mW with 1.8 V power supply.
