摘要

Miniature gas detection system is desirable for many applications. In this brief, we propose a fully integrated nose-on-a-chip for mobile phones and wearable devices. The chip has 36 on-chip sensors, a 36-channel adaptive interface with an integrated programmable amplifier, a four-channel frequency readout interface, one on-chip temperature sensor, a successive approximation analog-to-digital converter, a scalable learning kernel cluster, and a reduced instruction set computing core with low-voltage static random-access memory. This chip is fabricated using the TSMC 180-nm CMOS process and consumes 2.6 mW at 1 V. on-chip temperature and humidity sensors are included in this system for acquiring environmental information. An environmental compensation algorithm based on common principal components analysis is also implemented for high-accuracy odor classification. This fully integrated nose-on-a-chip provides promising results for odor detection and classification for use in mobile and wearable device applications.
