A new fully integrated micropower CMOS analogue lock‐in amplifier (LIA) is presented. To achieve a compact architecture able to operate under low voltage with low‐power consumption, it is based on a current‐mode amplifier with embedded rectification within the transconductance stage. Post‐layout results for a 0.18 µm CMOS implementation show a dynamic reserve of 51.2 dB, a power consumption of 482 µW and an integration area of 0.03 mm 2 . The frequency operation ranges from 450 Hz to 1.1 MHz, whereas the gain is programmable from 39 to 59 dB, providing the LIA with flexibility to match a wide range of applications.
