Abstract
This article describes a new electrical conductance converter method suitable for low power applications and an implementation in standard CMOS technology. Despite being designed to meet specific measurements requirements, this converter is intended for applications where device power requirements are determinative such self powered sensors networks and implantable devices. The topology is described and an implementation is presented. Results show the possibility of being powered by a single 1.2Â V accumulator cell with a consumption of 8Â nJ per conversion.
