Tanmeet Kaur, Tanmeet (author)This thesis describes the implementation of a phase-domain readout system for a thermal-diffusivity (TD) based temperature sensor. Such sensors measure the phase shift of an electro-thermal filter (ETF), which exhibits a near-linear dependency on absolute temperature. The phase shift is measured by a phase-domain delta-sigma modulator (PD-DSM)....master thesis 2024

Peng, Jida (author)In this thesis, a low-power, high-accuracy BJT-based temperature sensor is proposed, which consists of two main parts: a BJT-based dual-mode front-end (DMFE) and a tracking Delta-Sigma-Modulator (DSM). The front-end employs vertical PNP transistors, which, compared to NPNs, exhibit fewer non-idealities when biased at nA-level currents. The...master thesis 2024

Chen, Hsukang (author)To achieve greater specificity in neurostimulation, bidirectional neural interfaces are required to verify the recorded neural response after stimulation. The specific neural interface targeted in this thesis is the epiretinal implant. Due to the heterogeneity of the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), high-fidelity vision is only possible when all...master thesis 2024

Wijermars, Ronald (author)An artificial retina can replace some of the functionality of the eye in people that have experienced partial or complete loss of vision. Loss of vision is associated with many negative effects in one’s life and can be a debilitating condition. Artificial retinas in the form of a chip thus offer the potential to greatly improve people’s lives....master thesis 2024

Li, Shenyang (author)This thesis describes the design of a 3rd order 1-bit delta-sigma modulator whose input-signal range (0 to 1.95V) exceeds its supply voltage (1.2V). By using a passive input stage and a single-OTA resonator, this beyond-the-rails modulator realizes a 3rd order loop filter with only two amplifiers instead of the usual three and thus achieves...master thesis 2023
