It achieves low power consumption, low common-mode signal on the load, and high current efficiency. The use of a negative unit gain buffer reduces the common-mode signal on the load arising from process variations. The current driver was designed in a 65-nm CMOS technology with a 3.3 V supply. Simulation results demonstrate a THD of 0.4% at 125 kHz, for 40 μAp-p output current. The common-mode voltage on the load is reduced by 98.96% compared to a conventional topology using two independent drivers. The total current consumption is 60.3 μA, resulting in a current efficiency of 82.9%. The simulated output impedance is 2.76 MΩ at 125 kHz and 1.47 MΩ at 300 kHz. date: 2024-07-02 date_type: published publisher: IEEE official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/iscas58744.2024.10558093 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2302028 doi: 10.1109/ISCAS58744.2024.10558093 lyricists_name: Demosthenous, Andreas lyricists_name: Wu, Zhentao lyricists_id: ACDEM08 lyricists_id: ZWUEX92 actors_name: Wu, Zhentao actors_id: ZWUEX92 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public pres_type: paper publication: Proceedings - IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems place_of_pub: Singapore, Singapore event_title: 2024 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS) event_dates: 19 May 2024 - 22 May 2024 issn: 0271-4310 book_title: 2024 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS) citation: Wu, Z; Wu, Y; Demosthenous, A; (2024) A 199 μW, 82.9% Efficiency Current Driver with Active Common-Mode Reduction for Impedance-Based Tactile Sensors.
