A dB-Linear Programmable Variable Gain Amplifier and A Voltage Peak Detector with Digital Calibration for FPW-based Allergy Antibody Sensing System

This thesis proposes a dB-linear programmable variable gain amplifier (VGA) and a voltage peak detector with digital calibration for FPW-based antibody sensing system.
In the first topic, a dB-linear programmable variable gain amplifier is proposed. By using two source followers as the input terminals, input signals with very low DC offset could be received. The linear local-feedback transconductors are employed to be trans-condurctor-stage and load-stage. Besides, a reconfiguration method is used to reduce the layout area and improve the linearity of the gain to attain gain error less than 0.86 dB measured on silicon.
In the second topic, a voltage peak detector with digital calibration is proposed. The voltage peak of the input sine-wave signal is sampled and held by using an integra-tor, a digital-to-analog converter, and a voltage comparator to generate a square-wave signal. Besides, the voltage error caused by the propagation delay could be calibrated by the proposed digital calibration method. The frequency of input signal is up to 20 MHz and the voltage error is justified to be less than 0.81 % by simulations.
