Event-Driven Circuit Architectures for Scalable and Adaptive Sensor Readout

What

The continuous monitoring of vital body signs such as the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is crucial for the early detection of health issues and requires long-term monitoring with a wireless connected device that must operate for extended periods of time on a small, portable battery. This requires an ultra-low energy consumption. This doctoral research addresses the need for energy-efficient sensing devices by focusing on event-driven processing in the mixed-signal domain. By investigating event-driven level-crossing ADCs (LCADCs) that adaptively adjust the sampling rate based on the signal activity of time-sparse signals such as the ECG the research aims to minimize the power consumption of the sensing device as well as transmission power.
