Reconfigurable Wide Input Range, Fully-Differential Indirect Current-Feedback Instrumentation Amplifier with Digital Offset Calibration for Self-X Measurement Systems

Abstract

This manuscript presents an implementation of the configurable indirect current-feedback instrumentation amplifier (CFIA) for sensor interface readout circuit. Configuration is achieved by designing digital weighted scalable arrays for some selected elements to serve as tuning knobs controlled by the evolutionary optimization algorithm. This scheme resulting in a programmable circuit for different aspects to support self-x functionality. The robustness and flexibility of the proposed circuit fit to the demands of measurement and sensory systems in industry 4.0 and other intelligent systems applications. The circuit is designed by Cadence tools using ams 0.35 μm CMOS technology.
