Abstract The important challenge for the realization of hearing aids is small size, low cost, low power consumption and better performance, etc. Keeping these requirements in view this work concentrates on the VLSI (Very Large Scale Integrated) implementation of analog circuit that mimic the PPSK (Passive Phase Shift Keying) demodulator with low pass filter. This research deals with RF Cochlear implant circuits and their data transmission. A PPSK modulator is used for uplink data transmission in biomedical implants with simultaneous power, data transmission This paper deals about the implementation of PPSK demodulator with related circuits and low pass filter which are used in cochlear implants consumes low power and operates at 14MHz frequency. These circuits are designed using FINFET 20nm technology with 0.4v DC supply voltage. The performance of proposed design over the previous design is operating at low threshold voltage, reduces static leakage currents and often observed greater than 30 times of improvement in speed performance

A high-performance S-band down-conversion microstrip mixer, for operation from 77 K to 300 K, is described. The balanced mixer combines a 90 degree hybrid coupler, two Schottky diodes, a band pass filter, and a low pass filter. The coupler phase shift drastically improves noise rejection. The circuit was implemented according to the configuration obtained from extensive simulation results based on electromagnetic analysis. The experimental results agreed well with the simulation results, showing a maximum measured insertion loss of 0.4 dB at 2 GHz. The microstrip mixer can be easily adjusted to different frequency ranges, up to about 50 GHz, through the proper choice of microstrip configuration. This novel S-band cryogenic mixer, implemented without resorting to special components, shows a very high performance at liquid nitrogen temperatures, making this mixer very suitable for high-temperature superconductive applications, such as front-ends.

Abstract Currently, most microwave filters are designed using sophisticated computer-aided design (CAD) tools, which primarily based on the insertion loss method. The image parameter method (IPM), which can provide an effective control for the passband and stopband of microwave filters without any use of lumped prototypes, is paid little attention to microwave filter design. In this paper, the detailed design procedures for synthesizing microwave low-pass filter (LPF) and optimizing the performance of Butterworth filter with IPM are proposed. Based on the IPM, the improved infinite attenuation unit (IAU) cell can be designed firstly, which can attain higher selectivity and better stopband rejection of LPF while maintain good performance in passband. Then a 2 GHz ten-order high-performance LPF and an optimized Butterworth LPF are designed using improved IAU cell. Experiment results of the fabricated LPF agree well with the full-wave EM simulation, which shows the proposed approach can provide improved characteristics for both passband and stopband of LPFs.

Sinusoidal signal generator is common electronic equipment. In this paper, the writer designed a kind of integrated CMOS sine signal generator, which generator uses wien bridge oscillation circuit.This generator circuit mainly constitutes by amplifier, leveled and low-pass filter circuit, which uses Cadence software to simulate and analysis its amplification circuit, in order to get a sine wave which has high performance accuracy and stability. Through simulating this generator, we can get a kind of sine wave which includes the frequency as the 1.109 kHz, the center potential as 2.5V, the amplitude as 2.58V, distortion is less than 2%, and this sine wave is more practical for the lower voltage supply system.

In this paper a low-power current-mode RMS-to-DC converter is proposed. The proposed converter includes absolute value circuit, squarer/divider circuit, low-pass filter and square root circuit which employ CMOS transistors operating in weak inversion region. The RMS-to-DC converter has low power consumption (<1μW), low supply voltage (0.9V), wide input range (from 50 nA to 500 nA), low relative error (<3 %), and low circuit complexity. Comparing the proposed circuit with two other current-mode circuits shows that the former outperforms the latters in terms of power dissipation, supply voltage, and complexity. Simulation results by HSPICE show high performance of the circuit and confirm the validity of the proposed design technique.

In this paper a low-power current-mode RMS-to-DC converter is proposed. The converter includes two-quadrant squarer/divider and the first-order low-pass filter cell, both of them use MOS translinear loops. The RMS-to-DC converter has low power consumption (< 0.75μW), low supply voltage (0.8 V), wide input range (from 40 nA to 500 nA), low relative error (< 3 %), and low circuit complexity. Comparing the proposed circuit with two other current-mode circuits shows that the former outperforms the latters in terms of power dissipation, supply voltage, and complexity. Simulation results by HSPICE show high performance of the circuit and confirm the validity of the proposed design technique.
