A 0.18-μm CMOS voltage-to-frequency converter with low circuit sensitivity

A process, voltage, and temperature insensitive resistor-to-frequency converter is proposed. This insensitivity is achieved by matching the current-defining capacitor in a novel switched-capacitor (SC) voltage-to-current (V-I) converter with the integrating capacitor in a conventional relaxation osc...
