Abstract:

This paper presents a low voltage, low noise and very low frequency amplifier suitable for bio-signal recording. The amplifier requires only ±0.6 V supply and consumes 1.24 ¿W, with a 75.5 dB gain over a bandwidth covering a range of frequencies from some hundreds of mHz to 19 kHz. A UMC 0.13 ¿m CMOS process is used in design and simulation. The new solution is suitable for a variety of biomedical applications.

I Introduction

The electronics circuitry of general biomedical implantable devices like pacemakers, cochlear implants, neural prostheses. ..etc, consists of battery for energy delivery, signal acquisition and signal processing blocks, analog-to-digital conversion block, and also communication subsystems block (figure 1). Each of these blocks must be designed to meet strict constraints that make them more and more sophisticated and efficient. These constraints generally concern reliability, robustness, precision and low power consumption [1].
