A ± 12-A High-Side Current Sensor With 25 V Input CM Range and 0.35% Gain Error From −40 °C to 85 °C

This letter presents the most accurate shunt-based high-side current sensor ever reported. It achieves a 25 V input common-mode range from a single 1.8-V supply by using a beyond-the-rails ADC. A hybrid analog/digital temperature compensation scheme is proposed to simplify the circuit implementation while maintaining the state-of-the-art...

A ±4-A High-Side Current Sensor With 0.9% Gain Error From −40 °C to 85 °C Using an Analog Temperature Compensation Technique

This paper presents a fully integrated shunt-based current sensor that supports a 25-V input common-mode range while operating from a single 1.5-V supply. It uses a highvoltage beyond-the-rails ADC to directly digitize the voltage across an on-chip shunt resistor. To compensate for the shunt’s large temperature coefficient of resistance (∼0.335%...

A ±4A high-side current sensor with 25V input CM range and 0.9% gain error from -40°C to 85°C using an analog temperature compensation technique

This paper presents a fully integrated ±4A current sensor that supports a 25V input common-mode voltage range (CMVR) while operating from a single 1.5V supply. It consists of an on-chip metal shunt, a beyond-the-rails ADC [1] and a temperature-dependent voltage reference. The beyond-the-rails ADC facilitates high-side current sensing without...

Active Electrodes for Wearable EEG Acquisition: Review and Design Methodology

Active electrodes (AEs), i.e., electrodes with built-in readout circuitry, are increasingly being implemented in wearable healthcare and lifestyle applications due to AEs' robustness to environmental interference. An AE locally amplifies and buffers μV-level EEG signals before driving any cabling. The low output impedance of an AE mitigates...

A 15-Channel digital active electrode system for multi-parameter biopotential measurement

This paper presents a digital active electrode (DAE) system for multi-parameter biopotential signal acquisition in portable and wearable devices. It is built around an IC that performs analog signal processing and digitization with the help<br/>of on-chip instrumentation amplifiers, a 12 bit ADC and a digital interface. Via a standard bus, up to...

A 160μW 8-Channel Active Electrode System for EEG Monitoring

This paper presents an active electrode system for gel-free biopotential EEG signal acquisition. The system consists of front-end chopper amplifiers and a back-end common-mode feedback (CMFB) circuit. The front-end AC-coupled chopper amplifier employs input impedance boosting and digitally-assisted<br/>offset trimming. The former increases the...
