Abstract
This paper presents an implantable bio-impedance measurement system for cardiac pacemakers. The fully integrated system features a lowpower analog front-end and pulse widthmodulated output. The bio-impedance readout benefits from voltage to time conversion to achieve a very low power consumption for wirelessly transmitting the data outside the body. The proposed IC is fabricated in a 0.18μmCMOSprocess and is capable ofmeasuring the bio-impedance at 2 kHz over a wide dynamic range from 100λ to 3.3 kλ with 1.35 λrms accuracy and 1 μA maximum current injection while consuming just 1.55 μA from a 1 V supply.
