This paper reports a second order electromechanical sigma-delta readout for micro-g resolution accelerometers in addition to other high-sensitivity capacitive microsensors with large base capacitance. The chip implements a switched-capacitor readout front-end and an oversampled sigma-delta modulator, and hence can be used for both open-loop analog readout and closed-loop control and readout with direct digital output. The readout circuit has more than 115 dB dynamic range and can resolve less than 3 aF/root HHz. Also this IC includes start-up circuit and feedback mechanism for closed-loop control of the accelerometer with a single 5 V supply in a +/- 4 g range. Together with the accelerometer, bandwidth of the overall systemis limited with the sensor resonance frequency (1.53 kHz) in the open-loop mode. However in closed loop mode, oversampling of the acceleration data increases the bandwidth of the system up to few hundred kilohertz which is limited with the cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter placed at the output of the system. The start-up circuit allows rebalancing of a thick silicon proof mass with the limited 5 V supply after system start from power down or in the case of over-range input acceleration. The readout chip has been combined with a Silicon-On-Glass lateral accelerometer, which has a high sensitivity of 1.88 pF/g with large proof mass and long finger structures. A digital filtration and decimation circuitry is also implemented to signal process the output bit stream of the readout circuit. The complete module consumes 16 mW from a +/- 2.5 V supply and has an adjustable sensitivity up to 8 V/g with a noise level of 4.8 mu g/ root Hz in open-loop.

A Distributed Fault-Tolerant Topology Control Algorithm for Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks
Bagci, Hakki; KÖRPEOĞLU, İBRAHİM; Yazıcı, Adnan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2015-04-01)
This paper introduces a distributed fault-tolerant topology control algorithm, called the Disjoint Path Vector (DPV), for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks composed of a large number of sensor nodes with limited energy and computing capability and several supernodes with unlimited energy resources. The DPV algorithm addresses the k-degree Anycast Topology Control problem where the main objective is to assign each sensor's transmission range such that each has at least k-vertex-disjoint paths to superno...
A wireless batch sealed absolute capacitive pressure sensor
Akar, O.; Akın, Tayfun; Najafi, K. (Elsevier BV, 2001-12-15)
This paper reports the development of an absolute wireless pressure sensor that consists of a capacitive sensor and a gold-electroplated planar coil. Applied pressure deflects a 6 mum-thin silicon diaphragm, changing the capacitance formed between it and a metal electrode supported on a glass substrate. The resonant frequency of the LC circuit formed by the capacitor and the inductor changes as the capacitance changes; this change is sensed remotely through inductive coupling, eliminating the need for wire ...
A current mirroring integration based readout circuit for high performance infrared FPA applications
Külah, Haluk; Akın, Tayfun (2003-04-01)
This paper reports a current mirroring integration (CMI) CMOS readout circuit for high-resolution infrared focal plane array (FPA) applications. The circuit uses a feedback structure with current mirrors to provide stable bias voltage across the photodetector diode, while mirroring the diode current to an integration capacitor. The integration capacitor can be placed outside of the unit pixel, reducing the pixel area and allowing to integrate the current on larger capacitance for larger charge storage capac...
A CMOS visible image sensor array using current mirroring integration readout circuitry
Akbay, Selim Sermet; Bircan, A.; Akın, Tayfun (null; 2000-08-30)
This paper reports the development of a CMOS visible sensor array using a high performance readout circuit called Current Mirroring Integration (CMI). The sensor element is a photodiode implemented using n-well and p+ -active layers available in any CMOS process. The current generated by optical excitation is mirrored and integrated in an off-pixel capacitor using the CMI readout circuit, which provides high injection efficiency, low input impedance, almost-zero and stable detector bias, and a high dynamic ...
A Fast and Accurate Hardware String Matching Module with Bloom Filters
Zengin, Salih; Schmidt, Şenan Ece (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-02-01)
Many fields of computing such as Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) employ string matching modules (SMM) that search for a given set of positive strings in their input. An SMM is expected to produce correct outcomes while scanning the input data at high rates. Furthermore the string sets that are searched for are usually large and their sizes increase steadily. Bloom Filters (BFs) are hashing data structures which are fast but their false positive results require further processing. That is, their speed can be ex...
