Abstract:
A method and apparatus are described for bio-impedance measurement using voltage to current conversion. In one example, a bio-impedance transducer includes an input stage to receive a bio-impedance signal having an oscillating voltage from two electrodes, the electrodes being coupled to a body, a resistance across the two electrodes to determine an alternating current of the bio-impedance signal, a gain stage coupled to the resistance to amplify the alternating current, a down converter coupled to the gain stage to convert the amplified alternating current to a direct current bio-impedance signal, and an analog-to-digital converter coupled to the down converter to convert the direct current bio-impedance signal to a digital bio-impedance signal.
