The circuit is designed to deliver precise calibrated stimulation pulses to specific multipolar electrodes. Several original design features have been developed to respond to the particular specifications imposed by safety constraints. In particular, the DAC has been thought to be fully monotonic and the output stage to ensure a passive and secure discharge of the safety capacitor. Also some features have been added in order to improve the classical charge pump that generates on-chip high voltage.","PeriodicalId":294077,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 30th European Solid-State Circuits Conference","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123157312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A suitable electrostatic AC field is used to make the accelerometer selectively sensitive to only the coherent mechanical frequency component. By sweeping the frequency of the drive voltage over a selected range, the mechanical (vibration) spectrum is analysed in the mechanical domain. Operation requires the simultaneous generation of predistorted sine- and cosine-like waveforms. A DDFS with DAC, based on a specially scaled resistive string, is designed, fabricated in CMOS and tested. Spurious free dynamic range is 22 dB over a frequency range of DC up to 1 kHz. The spectral performance is comparable to FFT-based systems for spectral analysis on a time series supplied by a conventional accelerometer, while the overall system features a reduced complexity, simple spectral in-zooming and potential for low power consumption.","PeriodicalId":294077,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 30th European Solid-State Circuits Conference","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125577350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
