A low-voltage low-power QFG-based Sigma-Delta modulator for electroencephalogram applications

Abstract: A Sigma-Delta (Σ∆) modulator with 10 bits of resolution and only 55 nW power consumption for electroencephalogram (EEG) applications is presented. The overall modulator operates from 1.2V using Quasi-FloatingGates (QFG) based circuits. The system has been implemented in a standard 0.5-µm CMOS process. Post-layout simulations have been performed showing 70 dB of SNR with an oversampling ratio of 64.

“…In each pixel, the current Iph is integrated onto the capacitor Cint that produces a voltage drop proportional to the integration time and to the illumination. In every macro-pixel, the maximal voltage drop ΔV, corresponding to the pixel which receives the highest illumination, is determined by means of a Winner Take All (WTA) [8], [9], [10]. As long as the output of the WTA remains below Vref = ΔV/3, the pixel continues to integrate.…”

“…Dans chaque macropixel, la chute de tension ΔV maximale, correspondant au pixel qui reçoit la plus forte intensité lumineuse, est déterminée à l'aide d'un circuit Winner Take All. Classiquement utilisé dans les circuits neuromorphiques, le WTA (Winner-Take-All) est un circuit permettant d'extraire la tension maximum parmi toutes celles présentes à ses entrées (Carvajal et al, 2000 ;Soleimani et al, 2009) et (Lopez et al, 2006. Pour refléter le codage exponentiel, le temps d'intégration varie exponentiellement.…”

“…The combination of C 1 and M 10 can provide higher settling speed for the opamp while consuming less quiescent current [5]. Two transistors M 3 and M 4 are employed here to improve the phase margin of the opamp by pushing the right half plane zero, which is induced by the Miller capacitor C 2 , to high frequency while avoiding the usage of compensation resistor [6].…”
