Abstract:In this paper, we present the design and experimental evaluation of 1 V analog front-end amplifiers designed in 90 nm CMOS technology for capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducers (CMUTs) for medical ultrasound imaging systems. We propose two front-end amplifier topologies based on an inverter-based cascode amplifier; the first is a continuous time amplifier and the second is a charge sampling amplifier (CSA). The proposed front-end amplifiers are designed to amplify the signals from CMUTs in the frequen… Show more
