Abstract

In this work, we have designed and simulated a proposed architecture and good performances single-ended class-D audio amplifier (CDA). The proposed circuit is build using pulse-width modulation (PWM). We have proposed a novel RC network as negative feedback loop attached to a second-order integrator to get free of high-frequency carrier ripples and to reach improved output accuracy, thus improved performance and efficiency. This proposed negative feedback loop extremely reduces total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N). We have used a passive second-order butterworth output filter. This circuit fulfills a power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) of 75 dB, a THD+N of 0.004%, 3 times less than attained by usual feedback loop. The proposed circuit with quiescent current of 0.02 mA, signal to noise ratio (SNR) of 89 dB, and peak efficiency of 90% is running at 400 kHz switching frequency. The results of simulation demonstrate that this circuit significantly keeps up with the performance of other circuits but taking advantage of its simple architecture.

Abstract

This paper presents a sub-threshold complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) temperature sensor core for ultra-low-power applications, with the key advantage of reliable operation over an exceptionally wide temperature range from –100 °C to 100 °C, which is rarely reported in existing CMOS-based designs. The proposed architecture operates entirely in the sub-threshold region and is evaluated using circuit level simulations, with validation through comparison to a previously reported temperature sensor. Simulation results show excellent linearity across the full temperature range, achieving a coefficient of determination of R² = 0.99997 and a sensitivity of approximately 2.41 mV/°C. At a supply voltage of 1.4 V and 25°C, the sensor core consumes only 22 nW, highlighting its suitability for energy-constrained applications. These results demonstrate the potential of sub-threshold CMOS temperature sensing for wide-range, ultra-low-power sensing systems.
