    Abstract: An ECG signal acquisition system includes a first amplifier which has a non-inverting input adapted to be coupled to a first differential input, an inverting input adapted to be coupled to a second differential input, and an output. The system includes first and second biasing resistors coupled between the non-inverting and inverting inputs of the first amplifier. The system includes an average estimation circuit which has a first input coupled to the non-inverting input of the first amplifier and a second input coupled to the inverting input of the first amplifier. The system includes a driver amplifier which has an inverting input coupled to the output of the average estimation circuit, a non-inverting input coupled to receive a reference common-mode voltage, and an output. The system includes a low-pass filter coupled between the output of the driver amplifier and the biasing resistors.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides a measurement circuit. The measurement circuit includes a control engine. An excitation source is coupled to the control engine. A first set of electrodes and a second set of electrodes are coupled to the excitation source and receive current from the excitation source. The control engine operates the excitation source in a first mode and a second mode. The control engine, in the first mode, measures a parasitic impedance associated with the first and the second set of electrodes, and the control engine, in the second mode, measures an impedance of the first and the second set of electrodes and of an external object.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a transceiver (Tx/Rx) printed circuit board (PCB) with a top surface and a bottom surface and a power supply PCB. The Tx/Rx PCB includes two transmitter devices, each comprising a number N of channels. A first transmitter device is arranged on the bottom surface and a second transmitter device is arranged on the top surface over the first transmitter device. One or more pins of the second transmitter device are shorted with one or more pins of the first transmitter device with the same function. An analog front end (AFE) device comprising N input channels is arranged on the top surface of the Tx/Rx PCB, and a digital signal processor is coupled to the AFE device. The power supply PCB comprises a power supply module configured to provide a plurality of supply voltages to the Tx/Rx PCB and the power supply PCB.
