This paper presents an analog front-end for electroencephalogram(EEG) signal processing. Since EEG signals are typically weak and located at very low frequencies, it is imperative to implement an amplifier with high gain, high common-mode rejection ratio(CMRR) and good noise immunity at very low frequencies. The analog front-end of this paper consists of a programmable-gain instrumentation amplifier and a band-pass filter. A frequency chopping technique is employed to remove the low-frequency noise. The circuits were fabricated in 0.18um CMOS technology and measurements showed that the analog front-end has the maximum gain of 60dB and >100dB CMRR over the programmable gain range.
