Abstract

Healthcare issues arose from population aging. Meanwhile, electrocardiogram (ECG) is a powerful measurement tool. The first step of ECG is to detect QRS complexes. A state-of-the-art QRS detection algorithm was modified and implemented to an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). By the dedicated architecture design, the novel ASIC is proposed with 0.68mm2 core area and 2.21 µW power consumption. It is the smallest QRS detection ASIC based on 0.18 µm technology. In addition, the sensitivity is 95.65% and the positive prediction of the ASIC is 99.36% based on the MIT/BIH arrhythmia database certification.
