Abstract
This paper presents a high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) capacitively coupled inverter-based amplifier (CC-INV) with a turbo-boost common-mode feedback (TB-CMFB) loop for multi-channel bio-signal recording. TB-CMFB consists of boost and turbo system-CMFB cells. The boost cell significantly attenuates the common-mode (CM) output. By further introducing the turbo cell, the CMRR of CC-INVs is much improved without relying on a large capacitance ratio in the CC-INVs or CMFB loops, maintaining high area efficiency. The proposed 4-channel CC-INVs with TB-CMFB loop is designed in a 0.18-m CMOS technology. It dissipates circa 0.9 W from a 1.8 V supply per channel, while occupying an area of 0.024 mm, and achieves a CMRR of circa 100 dB.
