Abstract: | A CMOS OTA-C low-pass notch filter for EEG application is described. The pass-band covers four bands of brain wave and provides
more than 65 dB attenuation for the 50 Hz power line interference. The OTA works in the weak inversion region and a low transconductance
of 3 nA/V is achieved. The low transconductance enables using small capacitors in the OTA-C filter so that the filter is suitable
for the multi-channel EEG integrated circuits. The measured results show the good performance of the filter for filtering
the noise in acquired EEG signals.
Xinbo Qian received the B.Sc. degree from Beijing Institute of Technology, P.R. China, in 1991 and M.Sc. degree from Institute of Physics,
Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 1996. From 1996 to 1999, she was a research engineer in the Institute of Acoustics, Chinese
Academy of Sciences, worked on the sonar signal receiving and processing systems. Since 1999, she has been pursuing the Ph.D.
degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering department, National University of Singapore, with research direction on on-chip
readout circuits for microbolometer focal plane arrays. Now she is employed by Department of Mechanical Engineering and Division
of Bioengineering, National University of Singapore as a research fellow. Her research interest is low-noise integrated circuits
design and bio-medical sensor electronics, including electroencephalography IC, magnetocardiography IC, low-noise amplifier,
filter and data converters etc.
Yong Ping Xu graduated from Nanjing University, P.R. China in 1977. He received his Ph.D. from University of New South Wales (UNSW) Australia,
in 1994. From 1978 to 1987, he was with Qingdao Semiconductor Research Institute, P.R. China, initially as an IC design engineer,
and later the deputy R&D manager and the Director. From 1989 to 1992, he was working on silicon diode based infrared detectors
towards his Ph.D. at School of Electrical Engineering, UNSW Australia. From 1993 to 1995, he worked on an industry collaboration
project with GEC Marconi, Sydney, Australia, at the same university, involved in design of sigma-delta ADCs. He was a lecturer
at University of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia from 1996 to 1998. He has been with the Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering, National University of Singapore since June 1998 and is now an Associate Professor. His general research
interests are in the areas of mixed-signal and RF integrated circuits, and integrated MEMS and sensing systems. His current
focuses are high-speed wideband ADC, UWB front-end circuits and low-power low-voltage integrated circuits for biomedical applications.
He is a Senior Member of IEEE.
