Abstract

Advancement in MEMS-based sensors brings a new challenge for system-on-a-chip (SoC) design integration where analog and digital circuits coexist on a common substrate with the actual sensing platform. Integration of these MEMS-based sensors into an SoC requires a sensor core or virtual component (VC) that is compatible with the digital design strategy for a larger system design. At present, there are no sensor VCs in CAD libraries for SoC integration. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a gas sensor VC that is compatible with SoC design methodology.
