Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure includes a transistor-under-test (TUT) to charge/discharge a capacitor; changing an oscillation state when a capacitor voltage crosses a threshold and turning OFF the TUT; discharging the capacitor using the TUT; commencing precharging the capacitor after detecting the capacitor reaches a transition voltage; commencing discharging the capacitor after a precharger time delay; sustaining a relaxation oscillator waveform, wherein the relaxation oscillator waveform is based on turning OFF/ON the TUT; and generating a digital representation of a TUT current associated with a relaxation oscillator period of the relaxation oscillator waveform.

Abstract: A fully differential peak detection circuit includes programmable sensitivity and an autozero function. The peak detector has a fully differential charge-coupled analog signal path. The entire analog signal path is autozeroed upon enable and/or in response to sensing a logic zero at the output, where the logic zero follows a logic one. The peak detector includes a differential gain stage for receiving an analog input signal. The differential gain stage includes offset error compensation. The offset error compensation is selected upon enable and/or in response to an output signal of the peak detection circuit and automatically zeros an offset error voltage in response to a predetermined logic state of the output signal. The output of the gain stage is provided to a comparator stage. A plurality of capacitors coupled to the comparator stage stores a predetermined voltage for setting a sensitivity of the peak detector.
