The circuit first recovers the precise clock frequency from bit-serial 27−1 pseudorandom binary-sequences (PRBS) across a wide range of data rates. Thus, the requirements for loop bandwidth and locking range is much relaxed for the second step of phase detection, implemented as a 1/5 rate linear phase detector (PD) offering reduced clock operating frequency and low jitter. The CDR achieves 12.6-ps peak-to-peak jitter at 2.5Gb/s and consumes a current of 3.84mA in post-layout simulation.","PeriodicalId":91083,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems proceedings.

The sensor wakes up when it detects enough scene changes and only communicates meaningful frames.

Häfliger","doi":"10.1109/ISCAS.2010.5537016","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ISCAS.2010.5537016","url":null,"abstract":"A prototype for a wireless implantable sensor system is demonstrated intended for a pill sized micro-implant for blood sugar monitoring. Power is sent and telemetry data received over a near field inductive link. The implant system is almost completely realized on a single CMOS ASIC, excepting three surface mounted capacitors, the coil antenna and the sensor. For this demonstration, the ASIC is packaged and mounted with the 4 other components on a PCB, and the glucose sensor is substituted with either a potentiometer or an atmospheric pressure sensor. In the targeted highly miniaturized implantable micro system all components (including antenna and sensor) will be integrated into a pill sized LTCC (low temperature cofired ceramics) package. The total implant power budget with the minimal supply voltage of 2.5V is at 76μW. This number includes the power for various test structures that will be unnecessary for an industrial prototype, which is expected to operate below 20μW. A simple demonstrator of the reader is implemented on another PCB with a two digit hexadecimal LED display to show the telemetry data. This demo is associated with the BioCAS and the Sensory Systems track and is based on the publication [1] I. DEMONSTRATION SETUP The demonstrator consists of two PCBs: a prototype for the reader and a prototype for the implant as depicted in figure 1. The upper board is the reader prototype, powered by a 9V battery. It sends power on a 13.56MHz carrier to the implant prototype and receives telemetry data on the same link. The main component is a Xilinx CoolRunner II CPLD. The sensor value is displayed on a two digit hexadecimal LED display. The lower board is the implant prototype. Either a potentiometer or a air pressure sensor can be connected, in lieu of the targeted glucose sensor that is still under development. The implant prototype depicted contains a number of configuration switches which will be removed and the configuration will be hardwired for the demonstrator that will be brought to ISCAS 2010. This prototype’s approximate dimension will either be 2.5cm x 5cm, an area which is required by the ASIC package and the coil antenna, or merely 2cm x 2cm if the ASIC is wire bonded directly onto the PCB. II. VISITOR INTERACTION AND EXPERIENCE A. Asynchronous Pulse Density Modulation The implant does not perform a normal analog to digital conversion (ADC), but an analog to analog conversion, where the analog sensor value is translated into an analog/asynchronous inter pulse interval [1]. These pulses are conveyed to the reader over the inductive link by load modulation. The real ADC then simply consists of counting the pulses over a given interval. The decoded pulses can be observed on a portable oscilloscope and the correspondence of pulseintervals, the LED display and the ’sensor’ can be observed while the visitor tweaks the ’sensor’-potentiometer.

The system compresses the input-output data, minimizing predictive error by the increment of an input vigilance-parameter, in a similar way to the fuzzy-artmap neural network (G A. Carpenter et al., 1992). In the SIMAP network the output-clusters are weighted to obtain the final output vector, implementing a continuous map. A method for calculating the membership functions in neurofuzzy systems is proposed. These membership functions are used to operate the SIMAP network.
