Abstract:This work presents a capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC) fully designed using time-domain circuits following the principle of a dual quantization based first-order ∆Σ modulator. The prototype supports capacitance measurement within the range of 0-3.75 pF and is implemented using a 65-nm CMOS Technology. It consumes 2 mW from a 1.2 V supply while sampling at a 100 MHz clock frequency. The CDC prototype achieves an ENOB of 12.9 bits with an energy efficiency of 0.18 pJ energy per conversion-step.Index Terms-C… Show more
