A Low-Power Chopper-Stabilized Amplifier forHigh-Resolution Biomedical Signal Acquisition
Abstract: Biomedical signal acquisition systems such as ECG, EEG, and EMG require analog front-end (AFE) circuits capable of amplifying extremely small, low-frequency physiological signals in the presence of noise, interference, and motion-induced artifacts. These signals usually fall within the sub-millivolt range and are highly susceptible to low-frequency noise and amplifier offset. Chopper-stabilized amplifiers offer a compelling solution by suppressing flicker noise (1/f noise) and minimizing input- referred offset, especially for low-frequency …
