The proposed circuit is capable of processing a voltage signal produced by the light transducer and generating 8-bit digital outputs representing the color information (i.e. wavelength). A resolution of 8 different colors has been achieved as a proof of concept and can easily be extended to a higher number of colors without a major modification in the architecture. The proposed interface circuit is a mixed-signal solution that consists of analog as well as digital building blocks along with a light transducer. It can be used as a portable and non-intrusive optical sensor for biomedical and environmental sensing applications. © 2012 IEEE. date: 2012 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84873947517&doi=10.1109%2fICCircuitsAndSystems.2012.6408272&partnerID=40&md5=c1ca6a81dd4c38779e791fc7a1166122 id_number: 10.1109/ICCircuitsAndSystems.2012.6408272 full_text_status: none publication: ICCAS 2012 - 2012 IEEE International Conference on Circuits and Systems: "Advanced Circuits and Systems for Sustainability" place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur pagerange: 199-203 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781467331197 citation: Yohannes, I. and Assaad, M.M. and Meriaudeau, F.
