Abstract :
This paper presents several Current-Mode A/D converters that have been designed for use in Integrated Sensor Systems. Four designs, two binary-coded pipelined and two Sigma-Delta based, are presented and are compared in terms of resolution, circuit complexity and power dissipation, and conclusions are made about their suitability for use in Integrated Sensor Systems
