Description

Analog front-end circuit suitable for human pulse signals
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuit design, in particular to an analog front-end circuit suitable for human pulse signals.
Background
With the rapid development of social economy and science and technology, people pay more attention to the self health condition, and the field of biological medical treatment is rapidly developed. In addition, the microelectronic technology and the biomedicine are continuously combined and innovated, so that the system is more convenient, intelligent and efficient. For example, some portable devices such as smartphones and smartbands have functions such as heart rate monitoring and blood oxygen measurement. Medical care elements are continuously introduced into portable electronic products, so that the information of pulse, blood oxygen, body temperature, blood pressure and the like which indicate the health level of a human body can be more easily acquired.
However, since the human body pulse signal has characteristics of small amplitude, low frequency, and easy interference, the signal preprocessing is essential. The high-performance signal processing circuit has the functions of amplifying weak amplitude signals and filtering irrelevant signals except the main signal frequency, and can provide input guarantee for subsequent analog-to-digital conversion. Meanwhile, the signal processing circuit should be designed with consideration of not introducing excessive noise and offset, and should have high Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) and Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR).
As the frequency of the human pulse signal is concentrated in 0.5Hz-5Hz, and the maximum frequency does not exceed 40Hz, an analog front end circuit of the human pulse signal needs to be designed with an extremely low frequency cut-off point to remove the noise frequency except the signal. In order to meet the design requirement of an extremely low frequency cut-off point, the following schemes are currently implemented: 1. discrete device resistors and capacitors are used to achieve very low frequency cut-off design requirements, but such schemes increase the power consumption of the integrated circuit and are not conducive to integration. 2. The design requirement of the extremely-low frequency cut-off point is met by using the integrated resistor and the integrated capacitor, the integration of the circuit can be improved by the scheme, but the existing integrated resistor does not exceed megaohm (M omega) at most, the integrated capacitor does not exceed 50pF, and in addition, due to the process, the resistor is easily influenced, and the accuracy of the resistance value of the resistor is greatly influenced. Therefore, the design requirement of the extremely low frequency cut-off point is far from being met by the scheme. 3. The filter circuit is specially designed, and the scheme can meet the design requirement of the extremely low frequency cut-off point, but additionally increases the power consumption and does not meet the requirement of low power consumption. 4. The MOS tube pseudo-resistor structure is adopted to meet the design requirement of the extremely-low frequency cut-off point, but the current pseudo-resistor structure has poor linearity and large fluctuation of the resistance value of the pseudo-resistor.
