  • Patent number: 12381568
    Abstract: A signal processing circuit includes a first current sensor input, a second current sensor input, a voltage sensor input for receiving a sensor voltage, a first selection unit, a second selection unit, a current analog-digital converter (ADC), a voltage ADC, digital processing block, and a current-voltage converter. The first selection unit includes a first current input coupled to the first current sensor input, and a second current input coupled to the second current sensor input. The second selection unit includes a first voltage input coupled to the voltage sensor input and a second voltage input. The current ADC is coupled to a first current output. The voltage ADC is coupled to a voltage output. The digital processing block is coupled to outputs of the current ADC and the voltage ADC. The current-voltage converter is coupled between a second current output and the second voltage input.

  • Publication number: 20230204510
    Abstract: An optical detector (1) on an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) comprises at least one photodiode (5) for receiving incident light and configured to provide at least one diode signal, a modulator (2) configured to provide an AC drive signal and to provide a reference signal associated with the AC drive signal; and a lock-in amplifier (6) configured to receive said at least one diode signal from said at least one photodiode (5) and to receive the reference signal from the modulator (2), and to determine at least one of a phase and an amplitude of said at least one diode signal using the reference signal.

  • Publication number: 20190195820
    Abstract: An integrated humidity and temperature sensor includes a humidity sensor configured to output a signal corresponding to a first humidity value at a first time and a second humidity value at a second time, a temperature sensor configured to output a signal corresponding to a first temperature at the first time and a second temperature at the second time, a heating element configured to raise a temperature of the humidity sensor and the temperature sensor between the first time and the second time, and a processor device configured to determine a drift value of the humidity sensor according to the first and the second temperatures and the first and the second humidity values. The processor device is also configured to adjust the humidity sensor by the drift value. Adjustment of the humidity sensor can be a shift of an output of the humidity sensor by the drift value.
