“…The corresponding values of power dissipation were 170 nW for the topology in [1], 2.7 W for the topology in [3], 7.2 W for the topology in [4], and 76.2 nw for the topology in [2]. Thus, the proposed configurations offer the minimum required power dissipation compared with the corresponding already proposed schemes.…”

“…Owing to its efficiency for estimating the instantaneous product of amplitude and frequency of a signal, the NEO is a very powerful tool for handling biomedical signals. A number of NEO realizations have been already introduced in the literature [1][2][3][4]. The topology in [1] operates in a supply voltage 1.8 V, while a dual ±1.65 V supply voltage scheme has been used in [3].…”

“…Therefore, for given amplitude of the input current, the bias current could be chosen smaller than that in the case of the conventional linear systems [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. In the Log-Domain implementation in [4], the required nonlinear transconductors have been constructed from translinear loops formed by bipolar transistors operated in forward active region.…”

Realizations of the nonlinear energy operator (NEO), using the concept of companding filtering, are introduced and compared in this work. For this purpose, the Log-Domain and Sinh-Domain filtering techniques have been followed. Both topologies are constructed from differentiator and multiplier blocks which have been realized through the utilization of nonlinear transconductor cells. Both of the proposed topologies offer the capability of ultra-low voltage operation, thanks to the employment of MOS transistors in the weak inversion. Considering a single power supply voltage of 0.5 V, the behavior of the proposed NEO realizations has been simulated using the Analog Design Environment of the Cadence software and the design kit of the TSMC 130 nm process. Comparison results show that the Sinh-Domain realization offers a more power efficient design than that offered by the Log-Domain realization.
