Low flicker-noise DC amplifier for 50 Ω sources
نویسنده
چکیده
This article analyzes the design of a low-noise amplifier intended as the input front-end for the measurement of the low-frequency components (below 10 Hz) of a 50 Ω source. Low residual flicker is the main desired performance. This feature can only be appreciated if white noise is sufficiently low, and if an appropriate design ensures dc stability. An optimal solution is proposed, in which the low-noise and dc-stability features are achieved at a reasonable complexity. Gain is accurate to more than 100 kHz, which makes the amplifier an appealing external front-end for fast Fourier transform (FFT) analyzers.

متن کاملA Digitally Assisted Telescopic Amplifier With Improved ICMR and Programmable Unity Gain Frequency
Abstract: Telescopic amplifiers are often preferred for their large DC gain, low power dissipation and low flicker noise. On the other side, they suffer from serious problems like poor input common mode range and output swing. In this work, a simple technique to improve the input common mode range of telescopic structure is presented. To achieve this, two telescopic amplifiers using complementa...
متن کاملDigitally-Assisted Analog Front-end for Biomedical Sensors
Biomedical sensors are used to measure a myriad of biopotential signals including electroencephalogram (EEG), electrocardiogram (EKG), electromyogram (EMG), and neural field potential (NFP) signals [1], [2], [3]. Most of the useful information in these signals resides in the frequency range of 0.5 Hz to 1 kHz, allowing ultralow power circuits to be used when processing them. This is critical fo...
متن کاملLow-frequency flicker noise in a MSM device made with single Si nanowire (diameter ≈ 50 nm)
: Low-frequency flicker noise has been measured in a metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) device made from a single strand of a single crystalline Si nanowire (diameter approximately 50 nm). Measurement was done with an alternating current (ac) excitation for the noise measurement superimposed with direct current (dc) bias that can be controlled independently. The observed noise has a spectral power...
