This paper, presents a novel low power current mode 9 bit pipelined a/d converter. The a/d converter structure is composed of three 2.5 bit stages and one 3 bit stage operating in current mode and a final comparator which converts the analog current signal into a digital voltage signal. All the building blocks of the converter were designed in CMOS AMS 0.35 μm technology, simulated, and then a prototype converter was manufactured and measured to verify the proposed concept. The performances of the converter are compared to performances of known voltage-mode switched-capacitance and current-mode switched-current converter structures. Low power consumption and small chip area are the advantages of the proposed converter.

In this paper a low-power current-mode RMS-to-DC converter is proposed. The proposed converter includes absolute value circuit, squarer/divider circuit, low-pass filter and square root circuit which employ CMOS transistors operating in weak inversion region. The RMS-to-DC converter has low power consumption (<1μW), low supply voltage (0.9V), wide input range (from 50 nA to 500 nA), low relative error (<3 %), and low circuit complexity. Comparing the proposed circuit with two other current-mode circuits shows that the former outperforms the latters in terms of power dissipation, supply voltage, and complexity. Simulation results by HSPICE show high performance of the circuit and confirm the validity of the proposed design technique.
