This paper introduces a single-chip, 200 200element sensor array implemented in a standard two-metal digital CMOS technology. The sensor is able to grab the fingerprint pattern without any use of optical and mechanical adaptors. Using this integrated sensor, the fingerprint is captured at a rate of 10 F/s by pressing the finger skin onto the chip surface. The fingerprint pattern is sampled by c...

In this paper we present an electronic circuit for position or capacitance estimation of MEMS electrostatic actuators based on a switched capacitor technique. The circuit uses a capacitive divider configuration composed by a fixed capacitor and the variable capacitance of the electrostatic actuator for generating a signal that is a function of the input voltage and capacitive ratio. The propose...

Capacitive touch sensing is increasingly used in musical controllers, particularly those based on multi-touch screen interfaces. However, in contrast to the venerable piano-style keyboard, touch screen controllers lack the tactile feedback many performers find crucial. This paper presents an augmentation system for acoustic and electronic keyboards in which multi-touch capacitive sensors are ad...

Aswith all amplifier circuits, certain operating conditions can cause instability of a potentiostatic circuit which maymanifest as overshoot, poorly-damped ringing, or in extreme cases full-scale oscillations at the CE output. Instability occurs when the phase shift in the circuit’s feedback loop (the path between the output and the inverting input of U1 in Fig. 2 in the main text) is sufficien...

This paper presents the design and Implementation of a novel CMOS Instrumentation Amplifier using capacitive neutralization feedback transconductance techniques for bioelectric signal enhancement. The proposed amplifier also implements indirect current feedback, operating at 3-volt supply. With compact footprint 0.062mm² on chip, achieves an impressive bandwidth 4.2MHz 85 dB CMRR. Implemented 0...

This paper is about the application of Capacitive Energy Storage unit (CES) to two area two unit powersystem to improve dynamic performance of automatic generation control. Simulation is done without CES, with CES unit by taking frequency error as control input and with CES unit by taking Area Control Error (ACE) as Control input. Simulation studies show that CES units are capable of reducing t...
