Sumario:In this article, we present a new photocurrent sensory circuit with a three-transistor background light cancellation. We describe our innovative photocurrent sensor-based blood pressure measuring device using a resistor-based current-to-voltage converter with a background light cancellation (BLC) loop. The photocurrent sensor is implemented using 0.35 μm standard CMOS technology and has zero average power consumption. The post-layout simulation for the photocurrent sensor shows a 1.3 MΩ transimpedance gain, a referred input noise current of 11 pA, and can reject a DC photocurrent up to 200 μA. This high DC rejection has been achieved due to the newly proposed multi-transistor BLC loop integrated with the sensor.
