Low Voltage CMOS Based Thermal Sensor Circuits

In this project some alternative low voltage thermal sensor circuits architectures will be analyzed during an evaluation study and the results will be compared. The circuits will be designed under required performance constraints of minimal power, layout area, signal cross talks and noise reduction using advanced IC technologies.

This project deals with design and optimization of low voltage thermal sensor circuits, based on 28nm TSMC technology.

In this project some alternative low voltage thermal sensor circuits architectures will be analyzed during an evaluation study and the results will be compared. The circuits will be designed under required performance constraints of minimal power, layout area, signal cross talks and noise reduction using advanced IC technologies. The students will be responsible for the circuit requirements, analysis and specifications definition, focusing on the readout noise performance. Circuit design and simulations and analog layout will be done using Cadence tools.
