A readout circuit for an intra-ocular pressure sensor

A readout circuit for a passive telemetric intra-ocular pressure (IOP) sensor is being developed. The intra-ocular sensor consists of a capacitive pressure sensor in parallel with a planar coil. This inductor–capacitor (LC) resonant circuit transduces the pressure into a shift of resonance frequency. A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is used to excite the sensor over a large frequency range (20–40 MHz), hereby detecting resonance of the internal sensor, and thus enabling the measurement of the intra-ocular pressure. This low power circuit is extremely compact, making it suitable for long-term ambulant patient monitoring. The circuit allows wireless readout of the smallest pressure transducers. Tests show promising results at mutual coil distances up to 7.5 mm.     

A wireless powered fully integrated SU-8-based implantable LC transponder

In this work, we report a SU-8-based fully integrated miniaturized inductively powered LC transponder for generic implantable wireless sensor applications. It consists of a 1 mm diameter octagonal spiral inductor and a micro fabricated MIM (metal insulator metal) capacitor. Polyvinylidene Fluoride–Trifluoroethylene (PVDF–TrFE) copolymer is applied as a dielectric material for the capacitor fabrication due to its high dielectric constant. The 1 mm diameter, 154 nH spiral inductor is built on top of the capacitor. The capacitor and the inductor are in parallel connection through SU-8 via holes. SU-8 is used as a packaging material due to its biocompatibility, and also it serves as an insulator between the capacitor and the spiral inductor. The operating frequencies of the LC tanks are decided by the sizes of the capacitors (45 × 45, 55 × 55, 95 × 95 and 100 × 100 μm), and measured operating frequency range is from 385 to 485 MHz. The fabricated LC tanks are held to the power transmitting coil coaxially at distances of 2, 5, 7 and 10 mm, and rectified induced voltage at the LC tank is 8.5 V with 29 dBm input power at a 5 mm distance.     

Microfabricated Implantable Parylene-Based Wireless Passive Intraocular Pressure Sensors

This paper presents an implantable parylene-based wireless pressure sensor for biomedical pressure sensing applications specifically designed for continuous intraocular pressure (IOP) monitoring in glaucoma patients. It has an electrical $LC$ tank resonant circuit formed by an integrated capacitor and an inductor coil to facilitate passive wireless sensing using an external interrogating coil connected to a readout unit. Two surface-micromachined sensor designs incorporating variable capacitor and variable capacitor/inductor resonant circuits have been implemented to realize the pressure-sensitive components. The sensor is monolithically microfabricated by exploiting parylene as a biocompatible structural material in a suitable form factor for minimally invasive intraocular implantation. Pressure responses of the microsensor have been characterized to demonstrate its high pressure sensitivity ($≫$ 7000 ppm/mmHg) in both sensor designs, which confirms the feasibility of pressure sensing with smaller than 1 mmHg of resolution for practical biomedical applications. A six-month animal study verifies the in vivo bioefficacy and biostability of the implant in the intraocular environment with no surgical or postoperative complications. Preliminary ex vivo experimental results verify the IOP sensing feasibility of such device. This sensor will ultimately be implanted at the pars plana or on the iris of the eye to fulfill continuous, convenient, direct, and faithful IOP monitoring.$hfill$[2008-0111]      

Wireless micromachined ceramic pressure sensor for high-temperature applications

In high-temperature applications, such as pressure sensing in turbine engines and compressors, high-temperature materials and data retrieval methods are required. The microelectronics packaging infrastructure provides high-temperature ceramic materials, fabrication tools, and well-developed processing techniques that have the potential for applicability in high-temperature sensing. Based on this infrastructure, a completely passive ceramic pressure sensor that uses a wireless telemetry scheme has been developed. The passive nature of the telemetry removes the need for electronics, power supplies, or contacts to withstand the high-temperature environment. The sensor contains a passive LC resonator comprised of a movable diaphragm capacitor and a fixed inductor, thereby causing the sensor resonant frequency to be pressure-dependent. Data is retrieved with an external loop antenna. The sensor has been fabricated and characterized and was compared with an electromechanical model. It was operated up to 400/spl deg/C in a pressure range from 0 to 7 Bar. The average sensitivity and accuracy of three typical sensors are: -141 kHz Bar/sup -1/ and 24 mbar, respectively.     

Temperature compensated high efficiency inductor current sensor

Inductor current sensing is very important in the control and monitoring of switching power converters. Traditional low cost implementation using a sensing resistor in series with the inductor will reduce the overall efficiency of the power converter. Conventional Hall effect current sensor could also be used to detect the inductor current. However, it will significantly increase the production cost of power converters. One simple and low cost implementation is to add a resistor–capacitor (RC) network in parallel with the inductor so that the inductor current can be derived from the added circuitry. The problem with RC sensing network is that the sensed variable is very sensitive to temperature variations. In this paper, a novel inductor current sensor using low cost negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors to compensate the variation in the parasitic resistance of the inductor due to temperature changes is proposed. The changes in the cutoff frequency and steady state gain are also compensated by the added NTC thermistor circuit. With the compensated network, the sensed inductor current derived from the modified RC network will be independent of temperature variations. The compensated network can be applied to inductors fitted to power converters. Although experimental studies based on a buck converter were carried out to illustrate the correctness of the improved sensing technique, the proposed technique is applicable to other converter topologies.

Microfabricated self-resonant structure as a passive wireless dielectric constant and conductivity sensor

This paper describes a low cost, passive wireless dielectric constant and conductivity sensor using a microfabricated inductor with interdigitated capacitors (IDC). A self-resonant-structure (SRS) is designed by incorporating IDC electrodes in the inter-winding space of the inductor. The distributed capacitance and conductance of the sensor is affected by dielectric constant (ε) and conductivity (σ) of its environment or material under test (MUT). The ε and σ can be used to provide information about the surrounding environment. This serves as an impedance transducer changing the resonant frequency and phase dip of the SRS. The SRS is interrogated using a non-contact inductively coupled reader coil. The change in resonance frequency and phase dip of the SRS is used to detect material properties of the environment/MUT. The relationship between sensor layout and coupling factor between sensor and reader is investigated. Optimizations of the coupling factor based on this relationship are discussed. IDC design trade-offs between the sensor’s sensitivity and coupling factor are also investigated. The sensor’s response to variety of liquid MUTs with a wide range of dielectric constant and conductivity is presented.     

Versatile energy recovery circuit for driving AC plasma display panel with single sustain circuit board

This paper presents an energy recovery (ER) circuit which can operate either in a series or a parallel resonance mode and can drive an AC plasma display panel (PDP) with a single sustain circuit board. The proposed ER circuit consists of one energy storage capacitor, two energy recovery inductors, and three insulated-gate bipolar transistors. The circuit operations in the series and parallel resonance modes are similar to conventional ones, except for the leading edge of the first sustain pulse and the trailing edge of the last sustain pulse. To reduce power consumption in the parallel resonance mode of operation, these two pulse edges are generated using a series resonance between the panel capacitance and the energy recovery inductor. The proposed circuit had energy recovery efficiencies in both the series and parallel resonance modes that were nearly the same as the efficiency of the conventional series resonance ER circuit. Experimental results on a 42-inch XGA single-scan PDP show that the proposed ER circuit is suitable for use in a PDP drive circuit.
