In this paper, a low noise and low power analog front end for piezoelectric microphones used in hearing aid devices is presented. It consists of a Charge Amplifier, followed by a Variable Gain Amplifier and an Analog-to-Digital Converter. At the core of charge amplifier a two stage opamp with modified cascode current mirror is designed which achieves a gain of 93 dB and phase margin of 62°. Designed analog front end achieves an input referred noise of 0.12 μVrms and SNR of 74 dB. It consumes power of 430 μW from 1.8 V supply and occupies an area of 1.2 mm × 0.22 mm. Proposed circuit is designed and fabricated in 0.18 μm CMOS process. Designed circuit is interfaced with a sensor model of piezoelectric microphone, which mimics Ormia ochracea's auditory system, and its performance is successfully verified against simulation results.

This paper presents the design of Preamplifier circuit for hearing aid in conventional and switched-capacitor based. The proposed circuit achieves good linearity in a wide range of frequency for amplification as compared with conventional type. The total power consumption of proposed preamplifier is 5.23fW. Undesired out-band high frequency noise can be removed by the proposed preamplifier circuit before connecting to ADC of front-end hearing aid. The front-end hearing aid device occupies less area and energy efficient. The simulation of design is done by LT SPICE-IV software.
