Abstract :
A circuit implementing area efficient voltage scaling and shifting operations tailored to the A/D conversion of the battery voltage has been designed to be integrated in a 40nm CMOS process with double oxide option. The active area is 0.03mm2, whereas typical power consumption is 267μW from a 3.6V battery cell.
