This paper presents a hybrid microaccelerometer subsystem consisting of an all-silicon pg capacitive microaccelerometer and a low noise CMOS capacitive interface circuit. This accelerometer has a measured sensitivity of 1.4 muF/g for a device with 2mm a lmm proof mass and 1.4pm air gap. The calculated mechanical noise floor for the device is 0.39 mug/vHz in atmosphere. The circuit has a 95dB dynamic range; a low offset of 370 muV and can resolve better than 75aF. The overall sensitivity of the complete module is measured as 160mV/g with a noise floor of 3.6 muV/vRz (-110dBV/vHz), indicating that the current system is capable of resolving about 20 mug/vHz.

A CMOS switched-capacitor interface circuit for an integrated accelerometer Külah, Haluk; Najafi, K (2000-01-01) This paper presents a CMOS interface electronics for monolithic micromachined capacitive accelerometer systems. The interface electronics is a fully differential switched-capacitor charge integrator with its internal clock generator and sensor feedback circuit for closed-loop operation. The circuit is designed for open-loop and closed-loop operations, and provides both digital and differential analog outputs. One of the main advantages of this chip is that it can be monolithically integrated with the sensor...
High performance closed-loop analog readout circuit for capacitive MEMS accelerometers Terzioğlu, Yunus; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) In this thesis, a closed-loop analog readout circuit for capacitive MEMS accelerometers is introduced. The detailed analysis of the dynamics of the proposed accelerometer is presented along with the associated simulation models. The theoretical investigation of each building block of the accelerometer is also presented in detail and supported by the corresponding formulas. The implemented accelerometer is shown to satisfy the estimated performance parameters with measurements conducted using various test se...
A Low-power capacitive integrated CMOS readout circuitry for high performance MEMS accelerometers İncedere, Osman Samet; Akın, Tayfun; Eminoğlu, Selim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) This thesis presents a low power capacitive integrated CMOS readout circuitry for high performance MEMS accelerometers. It proposes a linearized model of the complete closed loop accelerometer system, which makes easier of designing and analyzing the system. Designed readout circuitry offers low noise, wide dynamic range and high linearity system with very low power consumption. Designed readout circuit includes proportional integral (PI) controller circuit, which significantly decreases the proof mass defl...
A wireless implantable multichannel digital neural recording system for a micromachined sieve electrode Akın, Tayfun; Bradley, R.M. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1998) This paper reports the development of an implantable, fully integrated, multichannel peripheral neural recording system, which is powered and controlled using an RF telemetry link, The system allows recording of +/-500 mu V neural signals from axons regenerated through a micromachined silicon sieve electrode, These signals are amplified using on-chip 100 Hz to 3.1 kHz bandlimited amplifiers, multiplexed, and digitized with a low-power (<2 mW), moderate speed (8 mu s/b) current-mode 8-b analog-to-digital con...
A self-powered integrated interface circuit for low power piezoelectric energy harvesters Chamanian, S.; Zorlu, O.; Külah, Haluk; Muhtaroglu, A. (2013-12-18) This paper presents a CMOS integrated interface circuit for piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEH). A fully self-powered circuit, based on Synchronous Electric Charge extraction (SECE) technique, is implemented for non-resonant piezoelectric harvesters generating low power, in 10s to 100s mu W range. The circuit is realized in standard 180 nm UMC CMOS technology. A switch control circuit is designed and optimized to extract maximum power independently from excitation changes of the PEH. The total power loss ...
