Abstract
A new circuit topology for a low voltage, low noise instrumentation amplifier (IA) applicable for electrocardiogram signal acquisition system is designed. This circuit is based on the current feedback topology, which is implemented using folded cascode structure at both input and output stages. This helps to sense very low common mode voltage. Achieved input common mode range (ICMR) is 71.43 - 700 mV. DC electrode offset cancellation circuit is realized to remove DC electrode offset along with the low frequency noise. The IA can withstand a high DC electrode offset of ±18 mV. It also has a wide input dynamic range of ±1 ¿V to ±1 mV. The voltage gain is around 38 dB. It consumes 110 ¿W power with a supply voltage of 1 V. A high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of 80 dB is achieved. The integrated input referred noise is 1.64 ¿V <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">rms</sub> (0.1 Hz - 150 Hz). This design is implemented in 0.18 ¿m standard CMOS process.
