Universidad de Zaragoza A 0.18 µm CMOS LDO regulator for an on-chip sensor array impedance measurement system 2018 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted This paper presents a fully integrated 0.18 µm CMOS Low-Dropout (LDO) Voltage Regulator specifically designed to meet the stringent requirements of a battery-operated impedance spectrometry multichannel CMOS micro-instrument. The proposed LDO provides a regulated 1.8 V voltage from a 3.6 V to 1.94 V battery voltage over a -40 °C to 100 °C temperature range, with a compact topology (<0.10 mm2 area) and a constant quiescent current of only 7.45 µA with 99.985% current efficiency, achieving remarkable state-of-art Figures of Merit (FoMs) for the regulating-transient performance. Experimental measurements validate its suitability for the target application, paving the way towards the future achievement of a truly portable System on Chip (SoC) platform for impedance sensors. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/TEC2015-65750-R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/JIUZ-2016-TEC-06 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.031 2018 INSTRUMENTS & INSTRUMENTATION 15 / 61 = 0.246 2018 Q1 T1 CHEMISTRY, ANALYTICAL 23 / 84 = 0.274 2018 Q2 T1 ELECTROCHEMISTRY 12 / 26 = 0.462 2018 Q2 T2 0.592 2018 Analytical Chemistry 2018 Q2 Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics 2018 Q2 Medicine (miscellaneous) 2018 Q2 Electrical and Electronic Engineering 2018 Q2 Instrumentation 2018 Q2 Biochemistry 2018 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-4949-1539 Márquez, A.
