    摘要: The management of unit element selections in a system that includes multiple unit elements. The system includes an element selection component that is configured so that each of the multiple elements is used the same number of times over a certain number of selection cycles. This preserves the first order noise shaping of the mismatch noise thereby keeping a high signal to noise ratio. In addition, the selection of the unit elements is not done in a periodic fashion. This allows the system to avoid tones within the signal band.

    摘要: A digital feedback control circuit is disclosed for use in an accelerometer (e.g. a microelectromechanical accelerometer). The digital feedback control circuit, which periodically re-centers a proof mass in response to a sensed acceleration, is based on a sigma-delta (&Sgr;&Dgr;) configuration that includes a notch filter (e.g. a digital switched-capacitor filter) for rejecting signals due to mechanical resonances of the proof mass and further includes a comparator (e.g. a three-level comparator). The comparator generates one of three possible feedback states, with two of the feedback states acting to re-center the proof mass when that is needed, and with a third feedback state being an “idle” state which does not act to move the proof mass when no re-centering is needed. Additionally, the digital feedback control system includes an auto-zero trim capability for calibration of the accelerometer for accurate sensing of acceleration. The digital feedback control circuit can be fabricated using complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, bi-CMOS technology or bipolar technology and used in single- and dual-proof-mass accelerometers.

    摘要: A voltage to current converter circuit is provided which outputs a constant current independent of temperature. The temperature coefficient of a first on-chip impedance network is canceled by a threshold voltage of a transistor which has a temperature coefficient that tracks the temperature coefficient of the first impedance network. The magnitude of the output current is adjustable using the first impedance network, and does not affect the temperature coefficient. A second impedance network effectively zeros out the temperature coefficient of the circuit by adjusting an input reference voltage assumed to have a first order temperature coefficient.

    摘要: A sensor readout detector circuit is disclosed that is capable of detecting sensor signals down to a few nanoamperes or less in a high (microampere) background noise level. The circuit operates at a very low standby power level and is triggerable by a sensor event signal that is above a predetermined threshold level. A plurality of sensor readout detector circuits can be formed on a substrate as an integrated circuit (IC). These circuits can operate to process data from an array of sensors in parallel, with only data from active sensors being processed for digitization and analysis. This allows the IC to operate at a low power level with a high data throughput for the active sensors. The circuit may be used with many different types of sensors, including photodetectors, capacitance sensors, chemically-sensitive sensors or combinations thereof to provide a capability for recording transient events or for recording data for a predetermined period of time following an event trigger. The sensor readout detector circuit has applications for portable or satellite-based sensor systems.

    摘要: A voltage reference circuit for providing a predetermined reference voltage at an output terminal which is independent of variation in supply voltage. The voltage reference circuit includes first and second semiconductor elements coupled between supply voltage terminals of a power supply, with the first and second semiconductor elements being connected in series with first and second impedances. The reference voltage is provided at the common terminal of the first and second impedances. The temperature coefficient of voltages produced by the first and second semiconductor elements in combination with the first and second impedances provide a reference voltage with a predetermined temperature coefficient. A tuning circuit is also included to permit fine adjustment of voltage level changes due to process variations.
