  • Patent number: 8767988
    Abstract: An analog front circuit for a medical device includes an automatic gain control loop and a 2-order-3-bit-quantization Sigma-Delta analog-to-digital converter. The automatic gain control loop is configured to implement automatic control of loop gain and output an analog signal to the 2-order-3-bit-quantization Sigma-Delta analog-to-digital converter. The 2-order-3-bit-quantization Sigma-Delta analog-to-digital converter is configured to convert the analog signal output from the automatic gain control loop into a digital code and output the digital code to a DSP for processing.

  • Publication number: 20130287238
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an SOI analog front circuit for a medical device, characterized in that it comprises an automatic gain control loop and a 2-order-3-bit-quantization Sigma-Delta analog-to-digital converter, wherein: the automatic gain control loop is configured to implement automatic control of loop gain and output an analog signal to the 2-order-3-bit-quantization Sigma-Delta analog-to-digital converter; and the 2-order-3-bit-quantization Sigma-Delta analog-to-digital converter is configured to convert the analog signal output from the automatic gain control loop into a digital code and output the digital code to a DSP for processing. The analog front circuit for the medical hearing aid device may be implemented by integration of three comparators, an analog-digital hybrid automatic gain control loop and a 2-order-3-bit-quantization Sigma-Delta analog-to-digital converter on a single chip using SOI process with high reliability and low power consumption.
