Mixed signal system design (A project based course)
2014
This paper describes an undergraduate 10 ECTS course in the design of analog and digital microelectronic circuits based on a project. This is offered for the students of Electronics engineering in their 3 rd semester of the 6-semester bachelor-programme. The emphasis is given on the mixed signal aspects of the system design. From the project, students get practical experience in the mixed signal system design.
An electrical current smart transducer based on PSoC platform and integrated spin-valve sensor with embedded thin film Ruthenium temperature sensor
2011
This work presents an intelligent electrical current sensor that combines a programmable system on chip (PSoC) with a microfabrication of a giant magnetoresistance sensor (GMR) and resistive temperature detector (RTD). Four spin-valve GMR elements configured in a Wheatstone bridge sense the electrical current, while a thin film RTD based on Ruthenium measures the temperature for spin-valve bridge sensitivity thermal compensation. The mixed signal PSoC allows implement in a single chip all electronic circuits needed to design a smart transducer: the spin-valve biasing, conditioning signal, analog to digital converter, digital signal processing and ports for communications. In the experimenta…
