Abstract
In modern biomedical applications, the power consumption of electronic circuits is of utmost importance. Generally these applications involve measuring low frequency signals over long periods of time. A level crossing analog-to-digital converter (LC-ADC) is perfect for this application because a data conversion is triggered only when there is a significant change in the input signal. This allows the circuit to consume very little power during the typically long periods of inactivity. This project explores the design of a new LC-ADC that consumes less power than conventional LC-ADC designs. Simulations of the new proposed LC-ADC design were performed over process, supply voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations to verify functionality and determine power consumption.
