Abstract
In many applications, such as in battery-operated medical devices or in habitat monitoring sensor networks, special data converters are needed, which can operate on battery or even harvested power. The available power in these devices is very limited, often only a few tens of microwatts. This tutorial discusses some of the design options for such micropower digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters.
