Design of high-resolution photodiode readout circuitry for a bio-implantable continuous glucose sensing chip

Glucose sensors are useful for monitoring and control of blood-sugar concentration for diabetic patients. There are many challenges in their wide-spread use and effectiveness in control of the disease. This work is a step towards achieving in vivo continuous long-term glucose monitoring using the optical near-infrared based glucose sensing...

Pixel ADC Design for Hybrid CMOS Image Sensors

This thesis presents the design of a pixel level analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit for hybrid CMOS image sensors. There are several methods to increase the dynamic range of the sensor through the readout algorithm. The multiple sampling method can increase the dynamic range (DR) without a loss of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The idea is...
