Ultra-Low-Power Configurable Analog Signal Processor For Wireless Sensors, James Kelly Griffin
Ultra-Low-Power Configurable Analog Signal Processor For Wireless Sensors, James Kelly Griffin
Masters Theses
The demand for on-chip low-power Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) analog signal processing has significantly increased in recent years. Digital signal processors continue to shrink in size as transistors half in size every two years. However, digital signal processors (DSP's) notoriously use more power than analog signal processors (APS's). This thesis presents a configurable analog signal processor (CASP) used for wireless sensors. This CASP contains a multitude of processing blocks include the following: low pass filter (LPF), high pass filter (HPF) integrator, differentiator, operational transconductance amplifier (OTA), rectifier with absolute value functionality, and multiplier. Each block uses current-mode processing and …
