A ± 12-A High-Side Current Sensor With 25 V Input CM Range and 0.35% Gain Error From −40 °C to 85 °CXu, L. (author), Heidary Shalmany, S. (author), Huijsing, J.H. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)This letter presents the most accurate shunt-based high-side current sensor ever reported. It achieves a 25 V input common-mode range from a single 1.8-V supply by using a beyond-the-rails ADC. A hybrid analog/digital temperature compensation scheme is proposed to simplify the circuit implementation while maintaining the state-of-the-art...journal article 2018

Pan, S. (author), Luo, Yanquan (author), Heidary Shalmany, S. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)This paper describes a high-resolution energy-efficient CMOS temperature sensor, intended for the temperature compensation of MEMS/quartz frequency references. The sensor is based on silicided poly-silicon thermistors, which are embedded in a Wien-bridge RC filter. When driven at a fixed frequency, the filter exhibits a temperature-dependent...journal article 2018

Jiang, H. (author), Amani, Samira (author), Vogel, J.G. (author), Heidary Shalmany, S. (author), Nihtianova, S. (author)This paper describes a high-performance Capacitance-to-Digital Converter (CDC) for sub-nm displacement sensing with an electrically floating target. Intended to be integrated into a displacement sensor probe, the CDC consumes only 560μW. It achieves 98.5dB SNR in a 1ms conversion time, which is 34 times more energy-efficient than the prior...conference paper 2018

Pan, S. (author), Luo, Yanquan (author), Heidary Shalmany, S. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)Temperature sensors are often used for the temperature compensation of frequency references [1-5]. High resolution and energy efficiency are then critical requirements, the former to minimize jitter and the latter to minimize power dissipation in a given conversion time. A MEMS-resonator-based sensor meets both criteria [1], but requires two...conference paper 2017

Heidary Shalmany, S. (author), Draxelmayr, Dieter (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)This paper presents an integrated shunt-based current-sensing system (CSS) capable of handling ±36-A currents, the highest ever reported. It also achieves a 0.3% gain error and a 400-μA offset, which is significantly better than the state-of-the-art systems. The heart of the system is a robust 260-μ Ω shunt resistor made from the lead frame...journal article 2017

Yousefzadeh, B. (author), Heidary Shalmany, S. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)This paper presents a precision CMOS temperature-to-digital converter (TDC), which senses the temperature-dependent base-emitter voltage of substrate PNPs. Measurements on 20 samples from one batch show that it achieves an inaccuracy of ±60 mK (3σ) from-55 °C to +125 °C, after a single room-temperature trim. This state-of-the-art result is...journal article 2017

Heidary Shalmany, S. (author), Merz, Matthias (author), Fekri, A. (author), Chang, Z.Y. (author), Hoofman, Romano J.O.M. (author), Pertijs, M.A.P. (author)This paper demonstrates a micropower offset- and temperature-compensated smart pH sensor, intended for use in battery-powered RFID systems that monitor the quality of perishable products. Low operation power is essential in such systems to enable autonomous logging of environmental parameters, such as the pH level, over extended periods of time...journal article 2017

Heidary Shalmany, S. (author), Draxelmayr, Dieter (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)This paper presents an integrated current-sensing system (CSS) that is intended for the use in battery-powered devices. It consists of a 10 mΩ on-chip metal shunt resistor, a switched-capacitor (SC) ΔΣ ADC, and a dynamic bandgap reference (BGR) that provides the ADC's reference voltage and also senses the shunt's temperature. The CSS is realized...journal article 2016
