The thesis is composed of two topics : a low-noise instru-mentation amplifier (IA) for neural signal sensing and a low-power implantable bladder pressure monitor SOC (system-on-chip).
A low-noise instrumentation amplifier for bio-medical appli-cations is proposed in the first topic. It is designed for sampling vague neural signals thanks to its high gain, high CMRR in a pre-defined bandwidth.
A low-power implantable bladder pressure monitor system is presented in the next topic. The system contains several parts : a commercial pressure sensor, an IA, an analog to digital converter (ADC), a parallel to serial converter (PtoS), an RF transmitter and a sleep controller. The IA with 1-atm canceling is designed for high resolution and linearity in the pre-defined bladder pressure range. For low power and low speed applications, a successive approximation ADC (SA ADC) is employed in the system. A clear flag is added to the PtoS to enhance reliability. Our chip saves a great portion of power to extend the processing time owing to the novel sleep controller.
