Abstract

Wearabl smart devices have become an important method to monitor people's health. This research work aims to offer a relatively optimum solution to amplify the biomedical signal in the case of wearable devices. This is done by using the single-stage amplifier and Operational Transimpedance Amplifier (OTA) stage. The OTA stage uses a typical 2-stage amplifier topology, with first-stage differential pair, second stage a common source to provide high-gain. Simulation results showed that the amplifier has a differential gain of 40.04dB, a total integrated input-referred noise of 3.59uVrms, a total power consumption of 1.44uW, a NEF of 21 and a CMRR of 82 dB. In conclusion, the results verify the single-stage amplifier topology is useful and satisfy the low-power requirement.
