摘要
An ECG recording front-end with a continuoustime asynchronous level-crossing analog-to-digital converter (LC-ADC) is proposed. The system is a voltage and current mixed-mode system, which comprises a low noise amplifier (LNA), a programmable voltage-to-current converter (PVCC) as a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and an LC-ADC with calibration DACs and an RC oscillator. The LNA shows an input referred noise of 3.77 mu Vrms over 0.06 Hz-950 Hz bandwidth. The total harmonic distortion (THD) of the LNA is 0.15% for a 10 mV(pp) input. The ECG front-end consumes 8.49 mu W from a 1 V supply and achieves an ENOB up to 8 bits. The core area of the proposed front-end is 690 x 710 mu m2, fabricated in a 0.18 mu m CMOS technology.
