Abstract

A novel CMOS continuous time integrated mixed notch and low pass filter is designed for multi standard biomedical applications like ECG, EMG, EEG etc. i.e a single device can be used to monitor multiple bio medical signals. In biomedical signal processing the power line signal (50Hz/60Hz) has to be suppressed with notch filter and remaining low pass band has to be allowed through low pass filter. In this work both notch filter and low pass filter is combined in one schematic. In order to get power line notch filter of 50 Hz and low pass filter of cutoff frequency less than 1 kHz, A Novel Bulk driven Operational Trans Conductance Amplifier (OTA) is used with 0.5V supply in CMOS 130 nm Technology. The transconductance value of proposed OTA is less than 1 nS. In this paper the notch filter of sixth order attained notch depth of 75 dB with 280 nW power consumption and low pass filter of fourth order consumes around 200 nW power.
