Abstract: | This paper presents novel CMOS switched-capacitor circuits for high-accuracy, on-chip capacitive-ratio testing and sensor readout. Using sigma-delta and correlated-double-sampling (CDS) techniques, these circuits provide accurate digitized capacitive-ratio readout. Both single-ended and fully differential circuits are presented. Simulation results show that the resolution can be as fine as 100 aF for 10 pF capacitors. Single-ended circuit and fully-differential circuits were implemented and tested. The measured standard deviation was below 20 aF when 10 pF capacitors were tested |
