A 0.6V 3.8μW ECG/bio-impedance monitoring IC for disposable health patch in 40nm CMOS

Simultaneous measurement of Electrocardiogram (ECG) and bio-impedance (BioZ) via disposable health patches is desired for patients suffering from chronic cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. However, a sensing IC must consume ultra-low power under a sub-volt supply to comply with miniaturized and disposable batteries. This work presents...

A 0.6V, 1μW, low-power low-noise instrumentation amplifier for ECG/BioZ measurement in 40nm CMOS

This thesis presents a low-power low-noise instrumentation amplifier designed to be implemented in 40 nm CMOS technology and operating from a 0.6 V supply, intended for use in electrocardiogram (ECG) and bio-impedance (BioZ) signal acquisition. This instrumentation amplifier has one ECG channel, one BioZ channel and allows both signals to be...
