Microsensors and integrated microsystems

The implementation of microsensors for measuring chemical and physical quantities with standard integrated circuit processes in the last years allowed the introduction and the wide diffusion of these devices in most electronic apparatuses in several applications. The possibility of realizing the interface circuits on the same chip or in the same package as the sensors is one of the most important factors for the success of these devices. Indeed, integrated microsensors cannot be optimized because of the limitations due to the fabrication process. Therefore, the interface circuits have to compensate the non-idealities of the sensors, in order to achieve comparable or better performance than discrete devices, obviously with a lower cost. Moreover, additional functionalities can be easily introduced in the devices. The concept of “Internet of Things”, which is pretty popular nowadays, has been enabled by the widespread diffusion of integrated microsensors and microsystems. Piero Malcovati has been among the first in Europe to deal with integrated microsystems, including microsensors and interface circuits, completely realized with CMOS and BiCMOS technologies and he carried on with success over the years this research topic.

Data converters

The last generation electronic apparatuses require integrated data converters with more and more challenging specifications in terms of linearity, resolution, bandwidth, power consumption, and supply voltage. The required data converter performance is very difficult to achieve exploiting only the features of active and passive components available in modern integration technologies. It is, therefore, of capital importance the development of calibration algorithms that allow the data converter performance to be improved through suitable signal processing functions, preferably in the digital domain. In data converter design it is typically necessary to optimize a wide range of parameters, including the building block performances, in order to reach the desired signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Because of the intrinsic non-linearity of data conversion, this optimization process has to be carried out with behavioral simulations, thus requiring a set of models which allows exhaustive simulations to be performed, accounting for as much non-idealities as possible.

Low-voltage, low-power analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits

The continuous improvement of fabrication processes, the shrinking of the transistor dimensions, and the consequent reduction of the oxide thickness lead to a constant drop of the power supply voltage of integrated circuits (from 5 V to 3.3 V to 2.5 V to 1.8 V to 1.2 V and presently to 1 V or less). Moreover, the widespread diffusion of battery-operated portable apparatuses pushes toward a continuos reduction of the dissipated power. These two trends a perfectly compatible in digital integrated circuits, where a reduction of the power supply voltage leads inherently to a reduction of the power consumption. On the other hand, in analog integrated circuits low supply voltage does not always lead to low power consumption. Therefore, in modern mixed-signal integrated circuits there is a trend to reduce as much as possible the analog section, in order to exploit as much as possible the potential of digital signal processing. However, some analog blocks which cannot be eliminated (preamplifiers, data converters) must operate with power supply voltages typical of digital integrated circuits, while providing anyway high performance (in many cases higher performance than usual is required since the allowed analog processing is reduced).

DC-DC converters and power management

Power consumption minimization, especially in portable systems, requires the use of several power supply sources with different voltages and currents, which have to be realized with a DC-DC converter each, starting from the battery voltage. Power management, indeed, is becoming one of the most critical issues for cost and size of portable devices.
