This paper presents the design and the characterization of an integrated wide-range interface circuit for resistive sensors. The device is actually a multi-scale transresistance continuous time amplifier followed by a 13-bit incremental A/D converter. As shown in measurements the worst case resolution is near to 0.1% over a range of 5.3 decades [100Ω-20MΩ] thanks to a calibration technique which cancels offset and gain error mismatch between scales. The chip has been designed in 0.35μm CMOS technology.

Abstract
This paper presents the design and the characterization of an integrated wide-range interface circuit for resistive sensors. The device is actually a multi-scale transresistance continuous time amplifier followed by a 13-bit incremental A/D converter. As shown in measurements the worst case resolution is near to 0.1% over a range of 5.3 decades [100Ω-20MΩ] thanks to a calibration technique which cancels offset and gain error mismatch between scales. The chip has been designed in 0.35μm CMOS technology.
