    Abstract: The present application relates to current sensing circuitry (100) that comprises a differential amplifier (110) comprising first and second inputs configured to sense a current across a sense resistance, and an output configured to output a current sense signal. The circuitry (100) further comprises a first current source, a second current source and a switch network operable in: a first phase in which the first current source is connected to the first input and disconnected from the output, and the second current source is connected to the output and disconnected from the first input; and a second phase in which the first current source is connected to the output and disconnected from the first input, and the second current source is connected to the first input and disconnected from the output.

    Abstract: Techniques for AC input signal detection, whereby a method for AC input signal detection may include: sampling an input signal at a sampling rate, where the input signal is based on an AC signal; comparing the input signal with a threshold signal, determining a first value in case the input signal is larger than the threshold signal; determining at least one second value in case the input signal is smaller than the threshold signal; increasing the sampling rate in case a predefined number of consecutive first values is determined; and decreasing the sampling rate in case the at least one second value is determined.

    Abstract: A voltage detection circuit includes two detection capacitors, which are paired and configured differentially, first to third detection switches, a drive part, a minimum selector and a maximum selector. The first detection switch is formed of a pMOS transistor, which opens and closes a path between one of the detection capacitors and an input node. The second detection switch is formed of an nMOS transistor, which opens and closes a path between the other of the detection capacitors and an input node. The third detection switch is formed of a series circuit of a pMOS transistor and an nMOS transistor, which open and close a path between two detection capacitors. The driving part turns on and off complementarily between the first and second switches and the third detection switch. The minimum selector applies a lower one of voltages of the input nodes as a substrate potential of the nMOS transistor. The maximum selector applies a higher one of the voltages of the input nodes as a substrate potential of the pMOS transistor.

    Abstract: An improved measurement system may include a source measure unit (SMU) capable of performing accurate low-level current measurements. Based on an SMU design that provides a controlled DC voltage source with precision current limiting and a controlled 0V (zero Volt) DC at the measurement terminal, an AC design may be implemented to establish the same (or very similar) conditions over a specified frequency range. Instead of controlling each digital-to-analog converter (DAC) at respective source terminals of the SMU as a respective DC output, each DAC may be controlled as a respective function generator with programmable frequency and continuously variable phase and amplitude. Off-the-shelf pipelined analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) may be used to monitor voltage, current and the voltage at the measurement terminal, and a Fourier transform may be used to obtain both the amplitude and relative phase measurements to be provided to respective control loops.
