Abstract
Today, MEMS sensors are rising in popularity as the application fields where they can be utilized is growing faster and faster. Their utilization ranges from consumer electronics and IoT to medical and military applications. MEMS rise to prominence is linked to its tiny dimensions and small power draw thanks to the miniaturization that characterizes them. Their extensive use in the whole electronics world in recent years has generated notable interest in developing sensors with increasingly high performance, with regards to accuracy, power consumption and data transfer speed to communicate with the central processing unit. This increase in the required transfer speeds means more control and optimization capabilities required for the implementation of timing sensitive components in the sensor, i.e., the digital core and the analog circuitry that interfaces it with the communication bus.
The analog-on-top approach implies that the core logic is implemented using the digital implementation tools and then imported in the analog top level environment as a macro
