Abstract :
In this work, we report on an unprecedented design where digital, analog, and MEMS technologies are combined to realize a general-purpose single-chip CMOS microsystem. The convergence of these technologies has enabled the development of a low power, portable microinstrument ideally suited for controlling environmental and bio-implantable sensors.
