description In recent years, the application of gas sensors is becoming more and more extensive. Driven by potential applications such as the Internet of Things, its technology development direction begins with miniaturization, integration, modularization, and intelligence. However, there is a bottleneck in the research of interface circuits, which restricts the development of gas sensors in volume, power consumption, and intelligence. To solve this problem, a MEMS gas sensor interface circuit based on ADC technology is proposed in this paper. Under the condition of the Huahong 110 nm process, the working voltage is 3.3 V, the resistance change of 100 Ω~1 MΩ can be detected, the conversion error is in the range of 0.5~1%, and the maximum power consumption is 986 μW. The overall layout area is 0.49 × 0.77 mm<sup>2</sup>. Finally, the correctness of the circuit function is verified by post-layout simulation.
