This paper presents a low power highly tunable second-order Gm−C bandpass filter for auditory signal processing of fully implantable cochlear implants. The resonance frequency of the filter is tunable within the daily acoustic band of 200 - 6000 Hz with a tunable quality factor from 1 to 3. The operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) operate in the subthreshold region to achieve low power consumption. The input transistors are driven from the bulk to reduce the transconductance so that the low frequencies of the daily acoustic band are covered. The effect of reduced transconductance on the gain is compensated by increasing the output resistance with folded cascode structure so that unity gain is achieved. The filter was fabricated using TSMC 0.18-µm CMOS technology on an active area of 0.085 mm 2 . The filter consumes 13.2 nW from a 1 V supply and achieves 51.98 dB dynamic range at the resonance frequency of 950 Hz.

A 9.03 μW Low Noise Highly Tunable Analog Front-End for Fully Implantable Cochlear Prosthesis Ozbek, Berkay; Külah, Haluk (2022-01-01) This paper presents a low noise, low power and highly programmable analog front-end that can interface with an implantable acoustic sensor of a 12-channel fully implantable cochlear implant. Capable of processing outputs from a sensor higher than 20 μVrms as in the speech processors of conventional cochlear implants, the system mimics the filtering in the cochlea with 12 channels (85-6500 Hz) while consuming only 9.03 μW which is one of the lowest power consumption among the analog front-ends for the cochle...
A Pulse-Width Modulated Cochlear Implant Interface Electronics with 513 mu W Power Consumption Yigit, Halil Andac; Ulusan, Hasan; Yüksel, Muhammed Berat; Chamanian, Salar; Çiftci, Berkay; Koyuncuoglu, Aziz; Muhtarolu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (2019-01-01) The fully implantable cochlear implant (FICI) interface circuit proposed in this work senses sound harmonics from 8 different piezoelectric cantilever sensors, and generates pulse width modulated biphasic current outputs to stimulate the auditory neurons. Signals from the piezoelectric sensors are amplified, rectified, and sampled. The sampled voltage is held and converted to current by a novel logarithmic voltage-to-current converter. The current is then digitized with a current comparator to determine the...

A High Linearity Broadband Gain Block/LNA MMIC with Diode Predistortion in GaAs pHEMT Technology Memioglu, Onur; Gundel, Adnan (2018-11-02) This paper presents a high linearity broadband low noise amplifier/gain-block MMIC based on shunt feedback and shunt peaking circuit technique. The design targets DC-1.0 Gift band with excellent noise figure performance. At the input a diode based predistorter is used to further enhance the lineratity of the circuit. A two-stage amplifier is implemented in 0.25 m InGaAs E/D-mode plIEMT technology demonstrates a high gain and an excellent bandwidth along with high-linearity. This amplifier topology seems an ...
A Reduced complexity ungerboeck type receiver for multi-code signaling in dispersive channels Güvensen, Gökhan Muzaffer; Tanık, Yalçın; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) The main aim in this thesis is to propose multiple signaling waveforms (multi-code) based yet spectrally efficient modulation schemes and competent receiver architectures realizing soft-input-soft-output (SISO) detection. We search for generic suboptimal receiver architectures for Multi-Code Signaling (MCS), which can be represented as selection of one out of M waveforms per signaling interval. The proposed receiver architectures exhibit almost optimal performance at significantly reduced complexity in high...
