Abstract

We developed a fully flexible AM (amplitude modulation) radio receiver suitable for integration in an “audio bag”, by exploiting the heterogeneous integration of several fully flexible technologies. In this paper, we present a 2.9 mW 2-bit digitally-controlled tuner with a 576 kHz tuning range, a 3.5 mW 1 MHz AM detector and their integration in such a fully-flexible system. Their optimized power consumptions are essential because thin flexible batteries and organic solar cells serve as power supply. The circuits are fabricated in a low-temperature amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (a-IGZO) technology. For the system integration textile techniques as well as flexible inkjet-printed packages and printed circuit boards (IPCBs) were used.
