A 6.4 nW 1.7% Relative Inaccuracy CMOS Temperature Sensor Utilizing Sub-thermal Drain Voltage Stabilization and Frequency Locked Loop

A 6.4 nW 1.7% relative inaccuracy (R-IA) CMOS sub-thermal drain voltage-based temperature sensor is proposed. The proposed stabilized sub-thermal drain voltage current generator achieves a highly linear PTAT output without nonlinearity fitting or post-fabrication trimming and increases the accuracy of the sensor. A combination of the current...

Mobility-based Time References for Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless Sensor Networks require small low-cost radios to enable communication among its nodes. Since those radios must be fully integrated to reduce cost and size, integration is required also for their on-board time references, which are needed to achieve synchronization with the other nodes. To deal with the lower accuracy of integrated...
