Abstract

This paper presents a 0.8V analog front-end (AFE) with referenceless time-based digitalization architecture for electrocardiogram (ECG) signal acquisition. Compared to the conventional voltage-domain architecture, the proposed AFE achieves a smaller chip area, lower power consumption, and self-calibration without the high-accuracy clock as well as voltage reference. The chip is fabricated using 0.18μm CMOS technology and occupies a chip area of 0.84 mm2. The design attains a variable gain from 35 dB to 47 dB within a bandwidth of 7 kHz and 10-bit time-to-digital conversion while consuming 43.5 μW at a supply voltage of 0.8V.
