A Stress- and Temperature-Compensated TMR Current Sensor With ±0.13% Sensitivity Variation

A Stress- and Temperature-Compensated TMR Current Sensor With ±0.13% Sensitivity Variation 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a high-precision tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR)-based non-contact current sensor with enhanced immunity to sensitivity drift. A background sensitivity stabilization loop (SSL) continuously regulates the TMR bias voltage to compensate intrinsic sensitivity variations. Through this closed-loop regulation, sensitivity drift of the TMR sensor induced by temperature, mechanical stress, …

A Low-Power 10Mbps Squaring-First UWB Receiver Using Frequency Hopping and Two-Tone Modulation

A Low-Power 10Mbps Squaring-First UWB Receiver Using Frequency Hopping and Two-Tone Modulation 150 150

Abstract:

This paper presents a low-power 10Mbps squaring-first ultra-wideband (UWB) receiver using frequency hopping code-division multiple-access (FH-CDMA) and two-tone OOK modulation for wireless personal area networks (WPAN). The two-tone receiver architecture preserves IF filtering, improves resilience to narrowband interference, and saves power by eliminating the RF local oscillator. FH is applied …

PANDA: A Reconfigurable Seizure Prediction and Detection Neural Network Accelerator for Epilepsy Monitoring

PANDA: A Reconfigurable Seizure Prediction and Detection Neural Network Accelerator for Epilepsy Monitoring 150 150

Abstract:

For effective healthcare management of epilepsy patients in a non-hospital environment, continuous monitoring of EEG signals is crucial, where wearable intelligent devices are essential. The existing seizure monitoring devices, however, cannot achieve high sensitivity, a short detection latency, a low false alarm rate (FAR), as well as ultra-low-power computing simultaneously. …
