Peters, Luka (author), Serhat, Gokhan (author), Vardar, Y. (author)Thermal feedback has been proven to enhance user experience in human-machine interactions. Yet state-of-the-art thermal technology has focused on the single finger or palm in static contact, overlooking dynamic and multi-finger interactions. The underlying challenges include incompatible designs of conventional interfaces for providing...journal article 2023

Mo, J. (author), LI, J. (author), Zhang, Y. (author), Romijn, J. (author), May, Alexander (author), Erlbacher, Tobias (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), Vollebregt, S. (author)In this work, a highly linear temperature sensor based on a silicon carbide (SiC) p-n diode is presented. Under a constant current biasing, the diode has an excellent linear response to the temperature (from room temperature to 600°C). The best linearity (coefficient of determination ${R}^{{2}}$ = 99.98%) is achieved when the current density...journal article 2023

Gürleyük, C. (author), Pan, S. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)This article presents a 16-MHz RC frequency reference implemented in a standard 180-nm CMOS process. It consists of a frequency-locked loop (FLL) in which the output frequency of a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) is locked to the frequency-phase characteristic of a Wien bridge RC filter. Since it is made from on-chip resistors and...journal article 2022

Pan, S. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)Temperature sensors intended for embedded applications should be both energy-and area-efficient. The combination of Wheatstone-bridge (WhB) sensors and continuous-time ADCs has proven to be highly energy efficient [1], [2]. However, their area (> 0.25 mm{2}) is still larger than that of comparable BJT-based sensors [3], [4]. This paper...conference paper 2019

Pan, S. (author), Jiang, H. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)This paper presents the most energy-efficient CMOS temperature sensor ever reported, with a resolution FoM of 49fJ·K2, 2.7× better than the state-of-the-art. It consists of a Wheatstone bridge made from poly-silicon resistors, which is readout by a 2nd-order Continuous-Time Delta-Sigma modulator (CTDSM). This approach leads to a high resolution ...conference paper 2017
