摘要: In this paper, an energy-efficient and low-noise 16-channel analog front-end (AFE) circuitry is proposed for acquisition of electrophysiological signals. This fully integrated front-end circuit comprises two differential difference amplifiers (DDAs) and DC offset rejection components. Additionally, the DDA is designed using a double input G(m)-stage and a class-AB output for achieving high common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR), low-noise and energy efficiency. The 16-channel AFE with analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) is implemented in TSMC 0.18 mu m CMOS process. The measurement results show that the AFE can realize 60.3dB gain with only 20.67 mu W for each channel. The bandwidth of the AFE is from 2.32Hz to 6.61kHz. Furthermore, the total input referred noise and noise efficiency factor (NEF) are 0.826 mu V-rms and 2.78 only within the target frequency range of 0.1Hz to kHz, respectively.
