摘要
基于0.18μm CMOS工艺设计了一种由前置放大器、可变增益放大器和G_m-C低通滤波器组成的低噪声心电信号采集前端电路。前置放大器采用了电容耦合结构,其中运算放大器的输入端采用了互补P/NMOS结构以降低1/f噪声的影响,并通过改进的RC密勒补偿技术提高了放大器的响应速度,而可变增益放大器则通过可调电容阵列实现了增益的均匀可调。仿真实验结果表明,所设计的心电信号采集前端电路的总电流仅为4μA,带宽为0.016~162 Hz,增益为40~58 dB且均匀可调,等效输入噪声为1.3μV_(rms)(0.1~200 Hz)。
A low-noise analog front-end( AFE) circuit for ECG signal acquisition is designed based on 0. 18 μm CMOS technology,including a preamplifier,a variable gain amplifier and a G_m-C low-pass filter. The acapacitively-coupled structure is applied in the preamplifier,and the operational amplifier uses the structure of complementary( P/NMOS) to reduce 1/f noise,and the response speed is improved by an improved Miller compensation technique. The variable gain amplifier achieves a continuous tunable gain with an adjustable capacitance array. Simulation results show that the AFE circuit consumes only 4 μA current and achieves a variable gain from 40 dB to 58 dB in the band from 0. 016 Hz to 162 Hz with the input referred noise of 1. 3 μV_(rms)(0. 1 Hz ~ 200 Hz).
