Abstract :
In this paper, a CMOS reconfigurable readout circuit is proposed. The proposed circuit, based on a classical dual-slope converter but used in an original way, can offer an extended dynamic range thanks to its configurability proposed in this paper. This originality makes it possible that two physical parameters from a multifunction sensor can be measured with a unique readout circuit.
