Reconfigurable Ferroelectric Bandpass Filter With Low-Frequency Noise Analysis for Intracardiac Electrogram Monitoring

Reconfigurable Ferroelectric Bandpass Filter With Low-Frequency Noise Analysis for Intracardiac Electrogram Monitoring 150 150

Abstract:

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) provide real-time monitoring and immediate defibrillation for life-threatening arrhythmias. However, the intracardiac electrogram (IEGM) acquisition of ICDs faces stringent constraints, including power consumption, low-frequency noise, and patient-specific physiological variability. This paper introduces an ultra-low-power, high-resolution, reconfigurable three-stage bandpass filter designed specifically for IEGM, utilizing Ferroelectric Field …

A 2 pA/ √Hz Input-Referred Noise TIA in 180-nm CMOS With 2.5GHz Bandwidth for Optical Receiver

A 2 pA/ √Hz Input-Referred Noise TIA in 180-nm CMOS With 2.5GHz Bandwidth for Optical Receiver 150 150

Abstract:

This letter describes an ultra-low-noise, high-speed transimpedance amplifier (TIA) applied to the analog front-end (AFE) circuit of the high-sensitivity optical receiver. A combination of a three-stage amplifier and two positive feedback Miller capacitors is introduced to comprehensively reduce the input-referred noise current (IRNC) of a shunt-feedback TIA (SFTIA) and to …

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

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 …

A 6.2b-ENOB 2.5 GS/s Flash-and-VCO-Based Subranging ADC Using a Residue Shifting Technique

A 6.2b-ENOB 2.5 GS/s Flash-and-VCO-Based Subranging ADC Using a Residue Shifting Technique 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a 7-bit pipelined subranging ADC that integrates a 3-bit flash ADC with a ring VCO-based quantizer. A resistor-ladder-based residue shifter (RLRS) replaces traditional residue amplifiers, efficiently shifting the residue voltage into the most linear region of the $K_{textrm {VCO}}$ , thereby eliminating the need for post-linearity calibration. …

A 45-V Auto-Zero-Stabilized Chopper Instrumentation Amplifier With 1.8- μ V Offset, 33.5- μ V Ripple, and 42-V Common-Mode Input Range

A 45-V Auto-Zero-Stabilized Chopper Instrumentation Amplifier With 1.8- μ V Offset, 33.5- μ V Ripple, and 42-V Common-Mode Input Range 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a 45V high-precision current-feedback instrumentation amplifier (CFIA) that combines both chopping and auto-zeroing (AZ) to achieve 1.8- $mu $ V input offset (10 samples) and 33.5- $mu $ V input-referred ripple. The AZ is duty cycled to minimize power and silicon area, with a parallel auxiliary path operating during AZ …

A Ping-Pong Charge-Sharing Locking PLL With Implicit Reference Doubling and Simultaneous Frequency/Duty-Cycle Calibrations

A Ping-Pong Charge-Sharing Locking PLL With Implicit Reference Doubling and Simultaneous Frequency/Duty-Cycle Calibrations 150 150

Abstract:

We propose a new ping-pong (PP) charge-sharing locking (CSL) phase-locked loop (PLL) architecture that enhances the strength of charge-injection into the oscillator’s LC-tank using complementary charge-sharing capacitors during both positive and negative halves of the reference clock, effectively achieving an implicit $2times $ reference frequency multiplication. The design includes a …
