Interface Circuit Design for Frequency-Time Domain MEMS Sensors

The focus of this paper is to describe emerging techniques and methods for interface circuit design for frequency, period, duty-cycle or PWM output MEMS sensors. The designed module is intended for frequency-time parameters - to - digital conversion and communication functions and can be embedded into a SoC. The developed interface circuit provides technologies that both reduce the cost and time of SoC development and improve sensor system performance. Its revolutionary suite of technical products facilitates, for the first time, low-cost, time-efficient production of MEMS sensor applications. On the other hand the proposed design approach reduces the development time, risk and cost of sensor applications by to ten times.
