Abstract
  • Dense electrical recording of biosignals has been developed to provide spatial resolution and precise temporal information for health monitoring, diagnostics, and clinical research. However, more electrodes require more wires, and wiring density quickly becomes a limiting factor. To break this bottleneck, we proposed a frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) based architecture for multi-channel acquisition systems. In this final exam, I present two applications that make use of this FDM technique. The first is an FDM-based multi-channel electromyography (EMG) acquisition system, which demonstrates that the FDM system not only reduces wire count, but also mitigates the effect of low frequency motion artifacts and 50/60 Hz mains interference introduced in the wire. An FDM-based four-channel EMG recording is demonstrated, while carrying all channels over a 3-wire interface, and the system achieves an attenuation of low-frequency cable motion artifacts by 15X an! d 60Hz mains noise coupled in the cable by 62X. A second application that forms the basis of my current research effort is an FDM-based neural recording system with multiple graphene active electrodes. We demonstrated a two-channel system including graphene FET electrodes, a custom integrated circuit (IC) analog front-end (AFE), and digital demodulation. In related multi-channel sensor work, a growing need for ultra-low-power sensors has driven continuous advancement in read-out circuits for temperature, humidity, and pressure. IC-integrated Wheatstone bridges, commonly used, are efficient for large sensor resistance (5k-500kohm), but measuring small resistance (<1kohm) with low power remains a fundamental challenge. In this final exam, I present an approach that uses a duty-cycled resistor and auto-balancing frequency-locked-loop to decrease power consumption. Measured IC results demonstrate 2X-10X lower area and similar power consumption despite >30,000x smaller nominal sensor resistance.
