For Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) Biosensor application an Analog Front-End (AFE) circuit is presented in this paper
which consists of readout circuitand 10 bit/1 MHz Successive Approximation Analog-to-Digital Converter (SAR ADC). The readout circuit provides 300 mV bias voltage for GMR biosensor array
which transfers the resistor change into current change. Then the current is transferred into voltage and amplified by Trans-Impedance Amplifier (TIA). Finally the digital code is output by SAR ADC and processed by DSP. The AFE is implemented in SMIC 0.18 μm 1P6M CMOS process. The power supply is 3.3 V.The measurement results show that
in 1 MHz clock frequency
the ENOB of circuit is 7.8 bit
meets the requirement for GMR biosensor detection.
