Abstract
A low-cost CMOS dual-mode AC/DC data converter for signal measuring technique is newly proposed. Instead of traditional full wave rectification, the realized synchronous rectification circuit is more attractive due to the easier integration and lower cost. In this paper, the design strategies of implementing the signal processing of AC and DC modes in the integrated circuit are discussed completely. Proven through SIMULINK in system level and SPICE simulations in circuit level, simulation results show that the proposed dual-mode AC/DC data converter achieves 8-bit resolution in DC mode and 7-bit resolution in AC mode. Measurement results have successfully verified the correct functions and performance of the proposed data converter and confirmed it for AC/DC signal measuring technique. The area of this chip is 710 × 630 μm2 and the measured power consumption is 5.1 mW. The proposed dual-mode AC/DC data converter is suitable for the system of analog and mixed-signal boundary scan.
