Item A 0.3?V, 56?dB DR, 100?Hz fourth order low-pass filter for ECG acquisition system(Elsevier Ltd, 2019) Polineni, S.; Hanumantha Rao, G.; Rekha, S.; Bhat, M.S.This paper proposes an extremely low voltage, low power bulk-driven voltage follower (BD-VF). As an application of the proposed BD-VF, a 4th order low-pass filter (LPF) with cutoff frequency adjustable from 50 Hz to 250 Hz is designed for electrocardiogram (ECG) acquisition systems. The filter is implemented in UMC 180 nm CMOS technology occupying only 0.03 mm2 area. Post layout simulation results show that the filter offers 56 dB dynamic range even with an extremely low supply voltage of 0.3 V. The total power consumption of the filter is 4.8 nW for a cutoff frequency of 100 Hz. The Figure-of-merit (FoM) and capacitance/pole of the filter are 5.7 × 10?15 and 2.2 pF respectively. The proposed filter offers the lowest FoM compared to the state-of-the-art nW-class filters. © 2019 Elsevier LtdItem A 0.3-V, 2.4-nW, and 100-Hz fourth-order LPF for ECG signal processing(John Wiley and Sons Ltd cs-journals@wiley.co.uk, 2020) Rao G, H.; Polineni, P.; Rekha, S.; Bhat, M.S.An ultra-low voltage, low power bulk-driven voltage follower (VF) is proposed in this paper. Further, it is exploited to design a fourth-order low-pass filter (LPF) for electrocardiogram (ECG) signal processing. The filter is designed in UMC 180-nm CMOS technology and operates with an ultra-low supply voltage of 0.3 V. It consumes an extremely low power of 2.4 nW for a cutoff frequency of 100 Hz. Results of post-layout simulation show that the proposed filter provides a dynamic range (DR) of 51.6 dB even from a 0.3-V supply voltage. The filter achieves a Figure-of-merit (FoM) of 4.7 × 10?15, which is better than many designs listed in the literature. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
