A 16-bit mixed-signal microsystem with integrated CMOS-MEMS clock reference

In this work, we report on an unprecedented design where digital, analog, and MEMS technologies are combined to realize a generalpurpose single-chip CMOS microsystem. The convergence of these technologies has enabled the development of a low power, portable microinstrument ideally suited for controlling environmental and bio-implantable sensors. Categories and Subject Descriptors B.7.0 [Integrated Circuits]: General. General Terms Design, Performance, Verification. Keywords Microsystem, microcontroller, SoC, system-on-chip, low power, low voltage analog, mixed-signal, , ADC, PGA, MEMS, varactor, inductor, clock generation, design methodology.
