We present the design, simulation and test results of a new AC amplifier for electrophysiological measurements based on a three op-amp instrumentation amplifier (IA). The design target was to increase the common mode rejection ratio (CMRR), thereby improving the quality of the recorded physiological signals in a noisy environment. The new amplifier actively suppresses the DC component of the differential signal and actively reduces the common mode signal in the first stage of the IA. These functions increase the dynamic range of the amplifier's first stage of the differential signal. The next step was the realization of the amplifier in a single chip technology. The design and tests of the new AC amplifier with a differential gain of 79.2 dB, a CMRR of 130 dB at 50 Hz, a high-pass cutoff frequency at 0.01 Hz and common mode reduction in the first stage of the 49.8 dB are presented in this paper.

This paper presents a fully differential class-AB current mirror OTA that improves the common-mode behavior of a topology that presents very good differential-mode performance but poor common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). The proposed solution requires a low-current auxiliary circuit driven by the input signal, to compensate the effect of the common-mode input component. Simulations in 40-nm CMOS technology show a net reduction of common-mode gain of more than 90[Formula: see text]dB without affecting the differential-mode behavior; a sample-and-hold amplifier exploiting the proposed amplifier has also been simulated.

Simulation Results

Continuous time common mode feedback (CMFB) circuits for low voltage, low power applications are proposed. Four circuits are proposed for gate/bulk-driven pseudo-differential transconductors operating on sub-1-V power supply. The circuits are validated for a bulk-driven pseudo-differential transconductor operating on 0.5[Formula: see text]V in 0.18[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m standard CMOS technology. Simulation results reveal that the proposed CMFB circuits offer power efficient solution for setting the output common mode of the transconductors. They also load the transconductor capacitively offering capacitance of about 1[Formula: see text]fF to tens of femto farads.

Differential Difference Amplifier

A continuous-time common-mode feedback (CMFB) circuit for low-power, area-constrained neural recording amplifiers is proposed. The proposed CMFB circuit is compact; it can be realized by simply replacing passive components with transistors in a low-noise folded cascode operational transconductance amplifier (FC-OTA) that is one of the most widely adopted OTAs for neural recording amplifiers. The proposed CMFB also consumes no additional power, i.e., no separate CMFB amplifier is required, thus, it fits well to low-power, area-constrained multichannel neural recording amplifiers. The proposed CMFB is analyzed in the implementation of a fully differential AC-coupled neural recording amplifier and compared with that of an identical neural recording amplifier using a conventional differential difference amplifier-based CMFB in 0.18 μm CMOS technology post-layout simulations. The AC-coupled neural recording amplifier with the proposed CMFB occupies ~37% less area and consumes ~11% smaller power, providing 2.67× larger output common mode (CM) range without CM bandwidth sacrifice in the comparison.

Ultralow Power

A novel, inverter-based, fully differential, body-driven, rail-to-rail, input stage topology is proposed in this paper. The input stage exploits a replica bias control loop to set the common mode current and a common mode feed-forward strategy to set its output common mode voltage. This novel cell is used to build an ultralow voltage (ULV), ultralow-power (ULP), two-stage, unbuffered operational amplifier. A dual path compensation strategy is exploited to improve the frequency response of the circuit. The amplifier has been designed in a commercial 130 nm CMOS technology from STMicroelectronics and is able to operate with a nominal supply voltage of 0.3 V and a power consumption as low as 11.4 nW, while showing about 65 dB gain, a gain bandwidth product around 3.6 kHz with a 50 pF load capacitance and a common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) in excess of 60 dB. Transistor-level simulations show that the proposed circuit outperforms most of the state of the art amplifiers in terms of the main figures of merit. The results of extensive parametric and Monte Carlo simulations have demonstrated the robustness of the proposed circuit to PVT and mismatch variations.

In this paper a useful CMOS fully-differential buffer topology is presented. The proposed solution, performing the common mode feedback operation, shows a rail-to-rail characteristic, so it is particularly suitable for low-voltage (± 0.75 V) low-power (< 400 μW) applications. The simulated results have shown excellent general performance, evaluated in terms of suitable figures of merit.
