카디악 페이스메이커용 0.8V 816nW 델타-시그마 모듈레이터

초록

This paper discusses theimplementation of the low-voltage, low-power, third-order, 1-bit switched capacitor delta-sigma modulator of the implantable cardiac pacemaker. The distributed, feed-forward structure and bulk-driven OTA were used in order to achieve an efficient operation under a supply voltage of 1V or lower. The designed modulator has a dynamic range of 49dB at 0.9V supply voltage and consumes 816nW of power. Such a significant reduction in power consumption allows diverse applications, not only in pacemakers, but also in implantable biomedical devices that operate with limited battery power. The core chip size of the modulator is 1000μm*500μm manufactured, with the 0.18μm CMOS standard process.
