This paper provides electronic implementation of electrocardiograph (ECG) circuit by using instrumentation amplifier (IA) as bio-potential amplifier in such a manner which reduces noise, common voltage, DC offset value and RF interference from the existing circuit.Noise and common voltage can be removed from ECG using driven right leg circuit or by using isolator circuit. DC offset can be remov...

Presented is a 0.9 V rail-to-rail constant gm CMOS amplifier input stage consisting of complementary differential pairs and a gm control circuit. The gm control circuit eliminates the gm dead zone, which occurs in the conventional rail-to-rail amplifier with ultra-low supply voltages. The proposed amplifier input stage has a constant gm that varies by +2.3% for rail-to-rail input common-mode le...

A simple numerical procedure has been implemented as a Matlab script to allow straightforward design of high speed, resistor loaded, differential amplifiers in modern CMOS processes. The amplifier, shown in Figure 1, exhibits device characteristics that dramatically depart from traditional square law characterisitics making designs based on hand calculations grossly inaccurate. The analytical f...

We propose and numerically verify a novel scheme of all-optical format conversion from non-return-to-zero (NRZ) to binary phase-shift- keying (BPSK) at 160 Gb/s using cascaded microring resonators (CMRR) on a single silicon chip. The conversion is based on large phase shift and flattened intensity-response characteristics in the CMRR. A continuous-wave light experiences different phase shifts c...

The properties of a differential transconductance amplifier coupled with a four channel measurement system are exploited in order to reach a very high sensitivity in current noise measurements. In particular, it is demonstrated that, in proper conditions, the noise contributions coming from the active and passive devices that make up the transresistance amplifier can be virtually eliminated. Mo...

The OPA643 provides a level of speed and dynamic range previously unattainable in a monolithic op amp. Using a de-compensated voltage feedback architecture with two internal gain stages, the OPA643 achieves exceptionally low harmonic distortion over a wide frequency range. The "classic" differential input provides all the familiar benefits of precision op amps, such as bias current cancellation...

A high gain, high frequency single stage CMOS op amp is designed and simulated. The authors used gain boosting technique and common mode feedback circuitry on a differential input/ouput 0.5μm CMOS amplifier. Results comprehend a DC gain of 110 dB, a unity-gain frequency superior to 300MHz associated with a phase margin in the range of 60 degrees. Good insensivity to temperature, voltage rail le...

1. Abstract The localized heating of semiconductor devices on an integrated circuit can cause pronounced change in the operating characteristics of the circuit. This work proposes a mathematical model to calculate the changes in the output parameters of a FD SOI MOS used in the integrated circuits. The device characteristics change due to non-linearity in operation of the high heat dissipating ...

Stochastic anti-resonance, that is resonant enhancement of randomness caused by polarization mode beatings, is analyzed both numerically and analytically on an example of fibre Raman amplifier with randomly varying birefringence. As a result of such anti-resonance, the polarization mode dispersion growth causes an escape of the signal state of polarization from a metastable state corresponding ...

L-band SiGe HBT differential amplifiers with multiple bandpass or bandstop performance is presented. It incorporates stacked parallel-resonant circuits into the design of the output load of the differential amplifier to achieve multiple bandpass performance. On the other hand, the stacked parallel-resonant circuits are used between emitters of the differential transistor-pair to achieve multipl...
