摘要:
A mixed analog and digital integrated circuit for physiological signal instrumentation such as electrocardiographs, electromyographs, and electroencephalographs comprises analog signal amplifiers (126) connected to A/D converters (346) and an analog signal summer (122) for generating from analog averaging inputs (1300) an averaging output (336), and averaging switches (1302) which associate individual averaging inputs (1300) to the outputs of corresponding analog signal amplifiers (126) in dependence upon a digital averaging selection bits generated by a digital control (1902, 1904, 1906, 1912) in response to an external input (366). The integrated circuit has five signal channels, each with analog amplification and analog to digital conversion. The channels can be configured for various combinations of input signal amplification, input signal summation, analog output driving, and AC impedance measurement. The integrated circuit has two digital serial input lines and two digital serial output lines, all designed for direct connection to optical couplers. Channel configuration, gain, and other parameters are externally controllable by a serial digital input signal. Up to six compatible devices can be serially connected in a chain.

An offset cancelling sense amplifier according to some examples of the disclosure may use a double sensing margin structure and positive feedback to achieve better performance characteristics and read stability without a multistage operation. For example, a sense amplifier may include a second pair of sensing switches cross coupled in parallel with a first pair of sensing switches and a pair of degeneration transistors coupled in line before a pair of load transistors.
