A charging duration based regulation compensation circuit offers a low ripple factor of 0.3% at a 1.8 V output voltage and a high voltage conversion efficiency (VCE) of 1.73 to overcome the low inductive coupling coefficient (under 0.01) due to the deep implant scenario. And a clock gating VCDL-based on-&-off delay compensation scheme is proposed to compensate for the phase error of the IR<sup>3</sup>. Performing rectification and regulation simultaneously in a single stage, the IR<sup>3</sup> effectively enhances power conversion efficiency. The whole system achieves a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 65% with a 1.5 mW load.

However, the intrinsically low spin polarization at low magnetic fields severely limits their detection sensitivity and measurement throughput, preventing their widespread use in biomedical analysis. Overhauser dynamic nuclear polarization (ODNP) effectively addresses this problem by transferring the spin polarization from free electrons to protons, significantly enhancing sensitivity. In this paper, we explore the potential of using ODNP for signal enhancement in a custom-designed portable chip-based DNP-enhanced NMR platform, which is centered around a miniaturized microwave (MW) transmitter, a custom-designed NMR-on-a-chip transceiver, and two application-specific ODNP probes. The MW transmitter provides frequency synthesis, signal modulation, and power amplification, providing sufficient output power for efficient polarization transfer. The NMR-on-a-chip transceiver combines a radio frequency (RF) transmitter with a fully differential quadrature receiver, providing pulsed excitation and NMR signal down-conversion and amplification. Two custom-designed ODNP probes are used for proof-of-concept DNP-enhanced NMR relaxometry and spectroscopy measurements.

High-precision signals are essential for medical diagnostics. However, motion artifacts in these devices can cause significant ambient light variation during PPG recording. This paper presents an accurate PPG recording front end with enhanced ambient light rejection (ALR). Quantization noise in a second-order sigma-delta modulator (SDM), used for direct current conversion, is reduced by extended counting of the modulator's residue. The first integrator of the SDM and the residue analog-to-digital converter (ADC) are reused in ALR circuits. The correlated double sampling (CDS) technique is enhanced by applying a first-order approximation of ambient light. Gain error in the residue ADC is reduced by charge compensation. The PPG front-end, implemented in a 180 nm process, achieves a dynamic range (DR) of 153.4 dB within a bandwidth of 20 Hz. The system operates with a minimum 1.28% duty cycle.
