An active electrode (AE) with accurately-tunable Sub-Hz high-pass-corner frequency (f(HP)) has been proposed, utilizing a PVT-insensitive pseudo-resistor (PR). Implemented in a 55nm CMOS process, the AE has a small core area and stable performance under variations in temperature.
An active electrode (AE) for vital signal acquisition with accurately-tunable Sub-Hz high-pass-corner frequency (f(HP)) has been proposed. Thanks to the proposed PVT-insensitive pseudo-resistor (PR) with embedded calibration circuit, the sub-Hz fHP of the AE can be accurately tuned by an external clock frequency. The AE is implemented in a standard 55nm CMOS process with a core area of 0.11 mm(2). The post-layout simulation results show that up to 310 G Omega of the PR value can be achieved. Compared with the conventional PR, the variation of the calibrated PR value is reduced by 3 decades within a temperature range of 0 to 85 degrees C under all process corners. Besides, the boot-strap technique improves the linear-input-range of the AE up to 164 mV(pp), demonstrating its potential capability to be applied to recording vital signals merged with large artifacts.
