Pan, S. (author), An, Xiaomeng (author), Yu, Zheru (author), Jiang, H. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)This article presents the design and implementation of a compact CMOS RC frequency reference. It consists of a frequency-locked loop (FLL) that locks the period of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) to the time an RC network takes to charge to a reference voltage. Conventionally, an RC time constant with a near-zero temperature coefficient...journal article 2023

Choi, Woojun (author), Angevare, J. (author), Park, Injun (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author), Chae, Youngcheol (author)This article presents an energy-efficient dual- RC frequency reference intended for wireless sensor nodes. It consists of a digital frequency-locked loop (FLL) in which the frequency of a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) is locked to a temperature-independent phase shift derived from two different RC poly-phase filters (PPFs). Phase...journal article 2022

Xie, S. (author), Abarca Prouza, A.N. (author), Theuwissen, A.J.P.A.M. (author)This brief proposes employing each of the classical 4 transistor (4T) pinned photodiode (PPD) CMOS image sensor (CIS) pixels, for both imaging and temperature measurement, intended for compensating the CISs' dark current, and dark signal non-uniformity (DSNU). The proposed temperature sensors rely on the thermal behavior of MOSFETs working in...journal article 2020

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

Muijs, E.S. (author)Publications of bipolar log-amp detectors for RF power detection show good temperature and RF performance. So far published CMOS log-amps fail to demonstrate accurate performance over temperature. This thesis present a temperature compensated CMOS RF power detector based on the log-amp architecture with an industry temperature range of -40 C to...master thesis 2013

Sebastiano, F. (author)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...doctoral thesis 2011
