A programmable A/D converter for an embedded fiber-optic combustion pressure sensor has been designed with 8 N and P channel MOSFETs, respectively. A local field enhancement for reducing programming voltage during writing as well as erasing an EEPROM device is introduced. In order to observe linear programmability of the EEPROM device during programming mode, a cell is developed with a $1.2;{mu}m$ double poly CMOS fabrication process in MOSIS. It is observed that the high resolution, of say 10mVolt, is valid in the range 1.25volts to 2volts. The experimental result is used for simulating the programmable 8 bit A/D converter with Hspice. The A/D converter is demonstrated to consume low power, $37;{mu}W$ by utilizing a programming operation. In addition, the converter is attained at the conversion frequency of 333 MHz.
