This paper presents a new fully integrated CMOS capacitance sensor chip with a wider input dynamic range (IDR) compared to the state-of-the-art, suitable for a variety of life science applications. With the novel differential capacitance to current conversion topology, it achieves an IDR of about seven times higher compared to the previous charge based capacitive measurement (CBCM) circuits and about three times higher compared to the CBCM with cascode current mirrors. It also features a calibration circuitry consisting of an array of switched capacitors, interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) realized on the topmost metal layer, a current-controlled 300 MHz oscillator, and a counter-serializer to create digital output. The proposed sensor, fabricated in AMS 0.35 μm CMOS technology, enables a high-resolution measurement, equal to 416 aF, of physiochemical changes in the IDE with up to 1.27 pF input offset adjustment range (IOAR). With a measurement speed of 15 μs, this sensor is among the fast CMOS capacitive sensors in the literature. In this paper, we demonstrate its functionality and applicability and present the experimental results for monitoring 2 μL evaporating droplets of chemical solvents. By using samples of solvents with different conductivity and relative permittivity, a wide range of capacitance and resistance variations in the sample-IDE interface electric equivalent model can be created. In addition, the evaporating droplet test has inherently fast dynamic changes. Based on the results, our proposed device addresses the challenge of detecting small capacitance changes despite large parasitic elements caused by the ions in the solution or by remnants deposited on the electrode.
