Abstract
This article describes a high-input-impedance, low- noise bioimpedance (BioZ) sensor interface IC for small-area dry-electrode cardio-respiratory signals monitoring. To facilitate high-precision BioZ sensing with high-impedance dry electrodes, the IC utilizes three key techniques as follows: 1) a bias control loop (BCL) to eliminate the excitation current mismatch, reduc- ing the voltage fluctuation on high-impedance input; 2) a quiet- chopping current feedback instrumentation amplifier (QC-CFIA) to mitigate the input-signal-dependent noise; and 3) a full pre- charge (FPC) technique to cancel the input parasitic capacitance for impedance boosting. Manufactured in a 0.18- μmC M O S process, the BioZ prototype IC occupies an area of 0.4 mm 2 while consuming 15.8- and 14.4–128.4- μW current, respectively, from the amplifier and the excitation current generator (CG). With these proposed techniques, this IC achieves a high input impedance of 100 M at 50 kHz, 0.5-m /√Hz sensitivity at 1 Hz, and a 106-dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). A gel-free respiration and impedance cardiography (ICG) recording has been successfully demonstrated on the human body with four 0.45-cm 2 dry electrodes.
