A MedRadio-Band Low-Energy-Per-Bit 4-Mbps CMOS OOK Receiver for Implantable Medical Devices

Abstract

A 4-Mbps 400-MHz On-Off Keying (OOK) receiver implemented in 0.18-um CMOS technology for implantable epilepsy sense-and-stimulation devices is presented. The proposed receiver is composed of a new current-mode full-wave envelope detector and differential cascaded gain amplifiers which is operated at MedRadio band. The fabricated receiver has power consumption of 0.27 mW and energy consumption of 0.07 nJ per bit at 4-Mbps. The sensitivity of receiver is -45.67 dBm.
