This paper presents a highly linear, small-area analog front end with gain and offset compensation for automotive capacitive pressure sensor. We propose a capacitance-tovoltage converter circuit that measures the capacitance value of the capacitive sensor with the high accuracy and linearity. In this paper, the linearity of the analog front end is guaranteed using full-analog gain and an offset calibration circuit. The proposed design is implemented using CMOS 0.35 µm technology with an active area of 1.94 mm × 1.94 mm. The full output range is from 0.5 to 4.5 V. The ratiometricity is within ±0.7% when the supply voltage is changed by ±10%. The power consumption is 25 mW from a 5 V supply. The output accuracy is within ±1% with respect to Process, Voltage, Temperature variations.Index Terms-Automotive capacitive pressure sensor, analog front end, highly linear, gain and offset compensation. 1530-437X

Abstract-This paper presents a 6 Gb/s 4-channel arrayed transimpedance amplifiers (TIA) with the gain control for 4-channel passive optical network in 0.13 mm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. A regulated cascode input stage and inductive-series peaking are proposed in order to increase the bandwidth. Also, a variable gain control is implemented to provide flexibility to the overall system. The TIA has a maximum 98.1 dBΩ gain and an input current noise level of about 37.8 pA/Hz. The die area of the fabricated TIA is 1.9 mm x 2.2 mm for 4-channel. The power dissipation is 47.64 mW/1ch.
