Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The advancement of digital integrated circuits has undoubtedly driven the development of various hardware design technologies, including the field of artificial intelligence.

However, as systems have become more sophisticated, there has been a growing need to design analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits optimized for various application domains.

Therefore, in this Special Issue, we will cover various techniques for the design of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits and their diverse applications, aiming to explore various circuit design techniques for emerging application areas.

This paper introduces a single-slope analog-to-digital converter (SS ADC) with an embedded digital baseline calibration scheme designed to improve the accuracy and reliability of gas sensor measurements. The proposed SS ADC effectively leverages an up/down counter mechanism to ensure stable signal extraction from gas sensors, despite variations in the baseline distribution. The proposed SS ADC initiates with a down counting operation to capture the initial output value of the gas sensor, which, after A/D conversion, is stored as a reference point for future readings. Subsequent gas sensor output values are derived by performing an up counting operation from this baseline reference. This approach allows for real-time correction of the baseline during the SS A/D conversion process, obviating the need for complex post-processing and baseline correction algorithms. The proposed SS ADC with the baseline calibration scheme was designed using a 0.18 μm standard CMOS process to confirm its feasibility. It demonstrated a signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) of 57.56 dB and a spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of 59.02 dB, resulting in an effective number of bits (ENOB) of 9.27 bits in the post-simulation level. The proposed SS ADC has a total power consumption of 1.649 mW. This work offers an efficient solution to the baseline distribution problem in gas sensors, facilitating more reliable and accurate gas detection systems. Full article
