Abstract
The current to frequency converter (CIF) is fully integrated in aluminium gate P channel E/D MOS technology. It is designed for measuring low level current (10-8 to 10-13 A). Experimentally the CIF works well in the range from 5 × 10-13 to 5 × 10-8A, but some non linearity problems were observed and explained in this paper.
