Abstract
CMOS integrated sensor interfaces offer high performance on a small area. In general, CMOS processes have very good matching between the devices on chip, but absolute values can vary about more than 30%. For absolute measurements, it is necessary to calibrate every single chip. The sensor interface for MOX gas sensors, which was designed inside the FP7 project MSP, thus offers several self-test and self-calibration building blocks to reduce the calibration effort. Together with the microcontroller of the sensor system, it is possible to do the complete self-test and self-calibration of the system without additional measurement equipment.
