Cover Story: In this paper, we present our design of a 16-electrode high-speed system that simultaneously implements constant current injection and differential potential measurements. This is applied over a stretchable and conductive-fabric material to realize a soft and wearable pressure sensor. As the power consumption of the system is 3 mW, it is suitable for battery-powered applications. The electronic design and sensor set-up are presented in detail. View Paper here
