Abstract

We present a low-power wide-dynamic-range readout circuit that directly interfaces a selective metal-oxide gas sensor. The proposed novel readout architecture implements an adaptive baseline compensation and limits the sensor current. The readout IC can interface the sensors with the baseline resistance from 1 kΩ to 100 MΩ and measures the gas induced resistance change in the range from 0.05% to 10% of the baseline resistance. The simulations demonstrate the 166 dB dynamic range of the readout circuit and 113 μW power consumption amenable to the sensors that can operate at room temperature for the application of the proposed system in portable breath analyzers.
