AbstractThis manuscript presents an implementation of the configurable indirect current-feedback instrumentation amplifier (CFIA) for sensor interface readout circuit. Configuration is achieved by designing digital weighted scalable arrays for some selected elements to serve as tuning knobs controlled by the evolutionary optimization algorithm. This scheme resulting in a programmable circuit for different aspects to support self-x functionality. The robustness and flexibility of the proposed circuit fit to the demands of measurement and sensory systems in industry 4.0 and other intelligent systems applications. The circuit is designed by Cadence tools using ams 0.35 μm CMOS technology.

AbstractThis paper research presents the design of wide input range indirect current feedback-instrumentation amplifier (CFIA). In order to extend the input range without sacrificing the amplifier performance, the negative feedback is applied to the source coupled differential pairs inputs. The feedback network and the biasing current can be programmed to work at different values to meet different signal conditions or to self-correct the drift in the amplifier properties. The simulated input range Vin; P-P=1.6 V with total harmonic distortion of 0.93 % at 5 MHz frequency. Thus the proposed CFIA is very suitable to read the high speed and high common mode range TMR differential voltage sensor signal. The circuit is implemented using the CMOS 0.35 μm technology from Austriamicrosystems (AMS) and by using Cadence Virtuoso design tools.

Rejection Ratio

A fully differential multipath current-feedback instrumentation amplifier (CFIA) for a resistive bridge sensor readout integrated circuit (IC) is proposed. To reduce the CFIA’s own offset and 1/f noise, a chopper stabilization technique is implemented. To attenuate the output ripple caused by chopper up-modulation, a ripple reduction loop (RRL) is employed. A multipath architecture is implemented to compensate for the notch in the chopping frequency band of the transfer function. To prevent performance degradation resulting from external offset, a 12-bit R-2R digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is employed. The proposed CFIA has an adjustable gain of 16–44 dB with 5-bit programmable resistors. The proposed resistive sensor readout IC is implemented in a 0.18 μm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process. The CFIA draws 169 μA currents from a 3.3 V supply. The simulated input-referred noise and noise efficiency factor (NEF) are 28.3 nV/√Hz and 14.2, respectively. The simulated common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) is 162 dB, and the power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) is 112 dB.

This paper presents a low [Formula: see text] noise CMOS single-ended output instrumentation amplifier (IA) for tunneling magnetic resistance (TMR) sensors. For high DC gain and linearity, the amplifier employs three-stage current-feedback topology. For high CMRR and PSRR, the first two stages employ fully differential input. To maintain stability and lower the power dissipation, the amplifier employs trans-conductance with capacitance feedback compensation (TCFC) topology. The amplifier employs chopping technology and continuous-time AC-coupled ripple reduction loop to reduce [Formula: see text] noise and chopping ripple. The whole chip is fabricated using 0.35 [Formula: see text]m CMOS-BCD technology and the total area is 1 mm2. Test result shows an input-referred noise power spectral density (PSD) of 14 nV/[Formula: see text] is achieved with 1 Hz [Formula: see text] corner. The bandwidth is larger than 50 kHz [Formula: see text] with 20 pF load capacitor. The total current is 300 [Formula: see text]A at 5 V supply.

This paper aims to introduce a novel Fully Differential second generation Current Conveyor (FDCCII) and its application to design a novel Low Power (LP), very high CMRR, and wide bandwidth (BW) Current Mode Instrumentation Amplifier (CMIA). In the proposed application, CMRR, as the most important feature, has been greatly improved by using both common mode feed forward (CMFF) and common mode feedback (CMFB) techniques, which are verified by a perfect circuit analysis. As another unique quality, it neither needs well-matched active blocks nor matched resistors but inherently improves CMRR, BW, and power consumption hence gains an excellent matchless choice for integration. The FDCCII has been designed using 0.18 um TSMC CMOS Technology with ±1.2 V supply voltages. The simulation of the proposed FDCCII and CMIA have been done in HSPICE LEVEL 49. Simulation results for the proposed CMIA are as follow: Voltage CMRR of 216 dB, voltage CMRR BW of 300 Hz. Intrinsic resistance of X-terminals is only 45 Ω and the power dissipation is 383.4 μW.  Most favourably, it shows a constant differential voltage gain BW of 18.1 MHz for variable gains (here ranging from 0 dB to 45.7 dB for example) removing the bottleneck of constant gain-BW product of Voltage mode circuits.
