为保证无线内窥胶囊在电池供电情况下,能实现全消化道检查,提出了一种微型胶囊内的单片低功耗数模混合集成电路的设计。该单片系统主要包括图像采集、图像压缩,存储器和无线收发模块等。数字部分的低功耗设计能比无能量管理策略设计方法要节约36%的功耗,数字电路部分的功能和能量管理策略通过了验证,模拟射频电路部分的主要指标已通过仿真验证,整个数模混合芯片已采用0.18μm的CM O S工艺流片。
This paper presents an integrated power management unit （PMU） for a battery-operated wireless endoscopic system. This PMU is integrated with a baseband chip in standard 0.18μm CMOS technology,promising low cost, ease in PCB design, and a minimum in system size. The optimized power supply architecture is derived from comparison. Circuits of sub blocks are presented in detail. As a result, only five small off-chip capacitances are required by PMU with an overall quiet current consumption of less than 100μA. Moreover,a digital calibration method is adopted to alleviate the effect of process variation. The achieved performance is also demonstrated with corresponding measurement results.
