An Energy-Efficient Capacitive Sensor Readout Circuit With Zoomed Time-Domain Quantization
This letter presents a capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC) with an incremental zoom current-controlled oscillator (CCO)-based time-domain
$\Delta \Sigma $
modulator (TD-
$\Delta \Sigma \text{M}$
). It supports single-sensor and single-shot measurement, which provides significant power saving. A double-PFD (DPFD) quantizer achieves
$2\times $
resolution enhancement compared to conventional PFD. A fast start-up scheme for CCO boosts conversion speed and ensures first conversion accuracy. The proposed design achieves 9.7 fJ/conv.-step with a short measurement time of
$4.1~\mu \text{s}$
. To the authors’ best knowledge, it realizes the best energy efficiency and shortest measurement time among all high-resolution CDCs achieving over 12 ENOB.
