摘要
This paper presents a 1-V and low-noise readout front-end for biomedical applications. The key to this low-voltage and low-power operation is the current-mode instrumentation amplifier (CMIA). To reject the DC offset, an active-RC integrator with the subthreshold-biased PMOS as high resistance is included in the CMIA and forms the offset cancellation loop. The nested-chopper technique is applied to reduce the flicker noise and improve the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). A proposed third-order G(m)-C low-pass filter (LPF) is incorporated to remove the modulated noise by the choppers. Furthermore, a digitally programmable gain stage is incorporated to provide adjustable gain range for the readout front-end. The overall readout front-end has a bandwidth of 140 Hz and achieves 125-dB CMRR, 90-dB power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR), and 6-nV/rtHz input-referred noise density. The readout front-end is fabricated in a 0.18-mu m CMOS process. Total power consumption is 182 mu W from a 1-V supply.
