- Abstract
- The opportune scenario of the internet of things (IoT) provides new perspectives for the gas sensing industry. With these, come new challenges where resistive gas sensors, embedded inside a system on a chip, must be decoded with a short response time and low power consumption. This work aims to design a resistance-to-digital converter following those requirements. Two different types of resistance-to-digital converters are explored, the time-domain and the voltage-domain implementation. The final layout chosen is based on a-time domain approach. Using a relaxation oscillator topology, a RCO is designed and when coupled with a micro-controller, it is used as a gas sensor interface, meeting the IoT specifications.
