Author(s): Yongjae Park, Yeong-Jin Mo, Jeong-Hoon Kim, Gert Cauwenberghs, Seong-Jin Kim

Abstract:

This article presents a biopotential recording analog front-end (AFE) specifically tailored for a two-electrode measurement system, capable of capturing small biopotential signals while tolerating a large common-mode interference (CMI) over 130 VPP. By leveraging the Miller effect, the proposed CMI-Follower provides a significantly low common-mode input impedance ( $Z_{\text {IN-CM-C}}$ ), achieving …

A 0.5-/0.95-dB NF, 50-/25-Ω Configurable CMOS Front-End ASIC for the Readout of Liquid Argon Calorimeter in the LHC 150 150
Author(s): Mietek Dabrowski, Filip Tavernier, Paul Leroux

Abstract:

This article presents the design of a four-channel front-end application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), ATLAS liquid argon front-end (ALFE), developed for the readout of the liquid-argon calorimeter (LAr) detector in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). ALFE enables the readout of current signals induced in the LAr …

A 48-Gb/s Inductorless PAM-4 Optical Receiver With 1.28-pJ/bit Efficiency in 28-nm CMOS

A 48-Gb/s Inductorless PAM-4 Optical Receiver With 1.28-pJ/bit Efficiency in 28-nm CMOS 150 150
Author(s): Chongyun Zhang, Li Wang, Fuzhan Chen, Quan Pan, Xianbo Li, C. Patrick Yue

Abstract:

This work presents a 48-Gb/s four-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-4) optical receiver (ORX) with a linear analog front-end (AFE) and an integrated sampler. The AFE employs a transadmittance-stage transimpedance-stage (TAS-TIS) topology, replacing conventional CML-based variable gain amplifiers (VGAs) and post-amplifiers, avoiding continuous-time linear equalizers and passive inductors while preserving …

A 10.9nV/√Hz, 74.9dB-DR, 20MS/s Ultrasound Analog Front End for Fully-Digital Beamforming

A 10.9nV/√Hz, 74.9dB-DR, 20MS/s Ultrasound Analog Front End for Fully-Digital Beamforming 150 150
Author(s): Changde Ding, Yan Zhu, Pengjie Wang, Zhiliang Hong, Jiawei Xu

Abstract:

This letter presents a compact and energy-efficient analog front-end (AFE) circuit for fully-digital beamforming in endoscopic and catheter-based 3D-ultrasound imaging. The AFE converts single-ended analog input from each transducer element into a 10-bit digital output through a low-noise amplifier (LNA) and a 20 MS/s SAR ADC. To minimize chip area …
