Abstract: A electrochemical or other sensor interface circuit architecture can deliver substantial DC offset bias to an electrochemical or other sensor separately or independently from delivering a time-varying AC excitation signal, which can then be provided with higher resolution, which, in turn, can allow better resolution of the measured response signal providing the impedance characteristic of sensor condition. For example, a differential time-varying AC excitation signal for the sensor condition characteristic can be delivered separately and independently from a differential stable (e.g., DC or other) bias signal, such as by using separate digital-to-analog converters (DACs), so that providing the more stable signal does not limit the resolution and accuracy of the time-varying signal, such as by using up the dynamic range of a single DAC.

Abstract: A capacitive gain amplifier circuit includes two sets of Miller capacitors and two output stage differential amplifier circuits. A first set of Miller capacitors is used to compensate the first output stage differential amplifier circuit during a first phase that resets the first output stage differential amplifier circuit. The second set of Miller capacitors is used to compensate the first output stage differential amplifier circuit during a second phase that chops a signal being amplified. The second set of Miller capacitors is swapped from one polarity to an opposite polarity of the first output stage differential amplifier circuit during successive second phases. The second output stage differential amplifier circuit includes a set of inputs selectively coupled with the inputs of the first output stage differential amplifier circuit and a set of outputs selectively coupled with the outputs of the first output stage differential amplifier circuit during the second phase.

Abstract: A common mode reference circuit comprises a divider stage and an output stage. The divider stage includes a first n-channel field effect transistor and p-channel filed effect transistor (NFET/PFET) pair connected in series to a high supply voltage circuit node; and a second NFET/PFET pair connected in series to a low supply voltage circuit node. The output stage includes a first FET connected as a current mirror to a transistor of the first NFET/PFET pair; a second FET connected as a current mirror to a transistor of the second NFET/PFET pair; and a common mode reference output at a series connection from the first FET to the second FET.

Abstract: Various examples are directed to a measurement system for measuring an electrical property of skin comprising an excitation circuit, a receiver circuit, and a sequencer circuit. The excitation circuit may generate a periodic excitation signal that, when provided to the skin, generates a response signal in the skin indicative of the electrical property. The sequencer circuit may be configured to activate the excitation circuit to provide the excitation signal to the skin. While the excitation circuit is activated to provide the excitation signal to the skin, the sequencer circuit may activate the receiver circuit to execute a first sample cycle to generate a first plurality of samples of the response signal. A first value for the electrical property of the skin may be determined based at least in part on the first plurality of samples of the response signal.

Abstract: A capacitive gain amplifier circuit amplifies an input signal by a pair of differential amplifier circuits couples in series. The first differential amplifier circuit is reset during an autozero phase while disconnected from the second differential amplifier circuit, and the first and second differential amplifier circuits are connected together in series during a chop phase. A set of feedback capacitors is selectively switched in between respective outputs of the second differential amplifier circuit and respective inputs of the first differential amplifier circuit during the chop phase.

Abstract: Techniques for improving noise performance while processing signals received from an electrochemical sensor are provided. In an example, an interface circuit can include a first amplifier configured to provide a voltage to a counter electrode of an electrochemical sensor, a second amplifier configured to receive sensor information from a working electrode of the electrochemical sensor and to provide concentration information using the sensor information. In certain examples, an input of the first amplifier can be directly coupled to an input of the second amplifier to attenuate noise, of either the first amplifier or the second amplifier, within the concentration information provided by the second amplifier.
