A biopotential amplifier for single supply operation is presented. It uses a Driven Right Leg Circuit (DRL) to drive the patient's body to a DC common mode voltage, centering biopotential signals with respect to the amplifier's input voltage range. This scheme ensures proper range operation when a single power supply is used. The circuit described is especially suited for low consumption, batte...

A new CMOS differential latched comparator suitable for low voltage, low-power application is presented. The circuit consists of a constant-gm rail-to-rail common-mode operational transconductance amplifier followed by a regenerative latch in a track and latch configuration to achieve a relatively constant delay. The use of a track and latch minimizes the total number of gain stages required fo...

A linearly-tunable ULV transconductor featuring excellent stability of the processed signal common-mode voltage upon tuning, critical for very-low voltage applications, is presented. Its employment to the synthesis of CMOS gm-C highfrequency and voiceband filters is discussed. SPICE data describe the filter characteristics. For a 1.3V-supply, their nominal passband frequencies are 1.0MHz and 3....

A high gain, high frequency single stage CMOS op amp is designed and simulated.

The tradition of implementing analogue circuits by means of voltage amplifiers is almost as old as the concept of electronic circuit design. The integrated electronic circuit, however, is a relatively new concept. Furthermore, integrated electronic circuits have significantly different limitations and strengths to the conventional discrete electronic circuits have. Since the active devices in i...

Abstract— This paper proposes a procedure for converting a class of Op Amp-, FTFN-, CCand CFAbased voltage mode circuits to corresponding current mode circuits without requiring any additional circuit elements and finally from Op Amp-based voltage mode circuits to any of the FTFN, CC and CFA current mode circuits. The latter circuits perform better at high frequency than the former ones. The va...

Power gating technique reduces leakage power in the circuit. However, power gating leads to large voltage fluctuation on the power rail during power gating mode to active mode due to the package inductance in the Printed Circuit Board. This voltage fluctuation may cause unwanted transitions in neighboring circuits. In this work, a power gating architecture is developed for minimizing power in a...

Novel common-mode feedback circuits are proposed for use in pseudo-differential switched-capacitor circuits. They can be implemented by incorporating just four additional capacitors (and switches) for an integrator, and only two additional capacitors for a residue gain amplifier. The circuits are applicable to very low-voltage switched-capacitor stages realized in submicron low-voltage CMOS pro...

The single-phase transformerless grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems, mainly the low-power single-phase systems, require high efficiency, small size, lightweight, and low-cost grid-connected inverters. However, problems such as leakage current, the DC current injection and safety issues are incorporated with transformerless grid-connected PV inverters. Besides, the new standards such as Lo...
