The demodulator circuit derives a constant frequency clock directly from an FSK carrier, and uses this clock to sample the data bits. The circuit occupies 0.03 mm^2 using a 0.6 μm, 2M/2P, standard CMOS process, and consumes 0.25 mW at 5 V. This circuit was experimentally tested at transmission speed of up to 2.5 Mbps while receiving a 5-10 MHz FSK carrier signal in a cochlear implant system.展开更多
