This study aims to propose a capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC) based on a third-order cascade of integrators with a feed-forward (CIFF) incremental sigma-delta modulator for smart humidity sensor application. Disguised zoom-in technology was proposed to enlarge the measurable range of the CDC. The input range of the CDC was 0–388 pF. The proposed CDC was realized using 0.18 μm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology. Results show that the CDC performs a 13-bit capacitance-to-digital conversion in 0.8 ms. The analog system consumes 169.7 μA from a 1.8 V supply, which corresponds to a figure of merit (FOM) of 3.0 nJ/step. The proposed CDC was combined with a HS1101 humidity sensor to demonstrate its incorporation in an overall system design. The resolution was 0.7% relative humidity (RH) over a range of 30%–90% RH.

This paper proposes the simulated and experimental results of a universal filter using the voltage differencing differential difference amplifier (VDDDA). Unlike the previous complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) structures of VDDDA that is present in the literature, the present one is compact and simple, owing to the employment of the multiple-input metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor technique. The presented filter employs two VDDDAs, one resistor and two grounded capacitors, and it offers low-pass: LP, band-pass: BP, band-reject: BR, high-pass: HP and all-pass: AP responses with a unity passband voltage gain. The proposed universal voltage mode filter has high input impedances and low output impedance. The natural frequency and bandwidth are orthogonally controlled by using separated transconductance without affecting the passband voltage gain. For a BP filter, the root mean square (RMS) of the equivalent output noise is 46 µV, and the third intermodulation distortion (IMD3) is −49.5 dB for an input signal with a peak-to peak of 600 mV, which results in a dynamic range (DR) of 73.2 dB. The filter was designed and simulated in the Cadence environment using a 0.18-µm CMOS process from Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing company (TSMC). In addition, the experimental results were obtained by using the available commercial components LM13700 and AD830. The simulation results are in agreement with the experimental one that confirmed the advantages of the filter.
