Abstract
This work presents a tunable bandwidth bio-medical amplifier controlled by controlling the gain bandwidth of highly linear rail-to-rail operational amplifier. The proposed bio-medical amplifier capable to accommodate frequencies starts from 50 Hz up to 10 kHz to detect multiple bio-potential signals: EEG, ECG, EMG, PCG and Aps, using fixed and small load capacitance. The proposed bio-medical amplifier simply consists of two stages bio-amplifier each designed with constant Tera ohm MOS pseudo-resistors used as feedback resistors which also provides controllability to the lower cutoff frequency of the overall two stages bio-medical amplifier thus allowing the detection of the small frequency range. Simulations in LT-spice using the 90 nm CMOS model, BSIM4 level = 54 version 4.3 under +1 V supply voltage are performed to validate the performance of the proposed amplifier. High stability is maintained (phase margin ≥ 60°) over the whole frequency ranges and the overall power consumption of the bio-medical amplifier is not exceeding the 3.28 μW. The used op-amp facilitates reaching both rails of the supply voltage.
