Existing Solutions
Using Diodes Or Diode-connected Transistors
induce large forward voltage drops and power dissipation sensitive to process variations unable to provide high PCE

Schottky Diodes
high leakage current need extra fabrication steps

Current-mode Amplitude-shift Keying (ASK) Demodulator

comprises the complicated circuitry

Common FSK Demodulation Techniques

require analog filtering down the signal path, which consumes a larger chip area in the low-frequency end of RF applications

Digital-mode FSK Demodulator

requires the high-speed clock frequency in the design, the power and ground bounces will be increased

Proposed FSK demodulator

The proposed analog FSK demodulator consists of a modified CMOS three stage rectifier, a voltage regulator, a data-recovery circuit, a multiplexer (MUX),

a clock generator, and a PLL.

The proposed FSK demodulator can reduce the power and ground bounces because it does not require HF operation.

Achieving higher PCE is very important in inductively

powered applications because it allows IMDs to operate with smaller received power from a larger distance. Lower received power also reduces the risk

of tissue damage from overheating

Proposed BPSK Demodulator

The RF front-end circuit is attractive for implantable biomedical devices because it can remotely receive coupling power and data, thereby reducing the size of implanted units and the risk for infection To recover the transmitted data, a low-power 13.56-MHz RF front-end circuit is proposed, which includes a full-wave bridge rectifier with a proposed leakage reduction technique to achieve an efficient transformation of the RF signal into DC voltage. a linear regulator with low quiescent current and unconditional stability a clock data recovery circuit with clock data separator technique Powerpoint Templates a BPSK demodulator Page 6
