Abstract:
A bitline sense amplifier including: an amplifier which is connected between a first sensing bitline and a second sensing bitline, and detects and amplifies a voltage difference between a first bitline and a second bitline in response to a first control signal and a second control signal; and an equalizer which is connected between a first supply line through which the first control signal is supplied and a second supply line through which the second control signal is supplied, and pre-charges the first bitline and the second bitline with a precharge voltage in response to an equalizing control signal, wherein the equalizer includes an equalizing enable transistor in which a source terminal is connected to the first supply line and performs equalizing in response to the equalizing control signal.
Abstract:
An electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor includes a motion artifact detector configured to detect a motion artifact component from a first channel signal of a first channel and a second channel signal of a second channel using a channel offset coefficient. The channel offset coefficient indicates a difference between the first channel signal and the second channel signal. The ECG sensor includes an ECG filter configured to generate an ECG signal by performing a least mean square (LMS) filtering operation on the first channel signal to remove the motion artifact component.
Abstract:
In managing temperature in a system on chip (SOC), a main temperature signal is generated using a main sensor, where the main temperature signal is a signal having a value corresponding to a main temperature of the SOC. Subsidiary temperature signals are generated using subsidiary sensors, where the subsidiary temperature signals are pulse signals having frequencies corresponding to subsidiary temperatures of subsidiary blocks in the SOC, respectively. An operation of the SOC is controlled based upon the main temperature signal and the subsidiary temperature signals.
Abstract:
An electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor includes an analog front end device configured to remove a DC offset in a first ECG signal received from a measuring electrode, and adjust a gain amplification value based on the first ECG signal. The analog front end device is configured to output an adjusted first ECG signal, the adjusted first ECG signal being based on the adjusted gain amplification value and the removed DC offset in the first ECG signal. The ECG sensor includes a digital signal processor configured to analyze and process the adjusted first ECG signal based on an algorithm and to output information. The analog front end device is configured to remove the DC offset in the first ECG signal during a first period, and remove a DC offset in a second ECG signal and simultaneously adjust a gain amplification value for the second ECG signal during a second period.
