Title
A 3.9μW, 81.3dB SNDR, DC-coupled, Time-based Neural Recording IC with Degeneration R-DAC for Bidirectional Neural Interface in 180nm CMOS
Abstract
This paper presents a 5-bit VCO-based neural recording IC, which directly quantizes the input signal and achieves a large dynamic range (DR) to process the small-amplitude neural signal in the presence of the large-amplitude stimulation artifact (SA). A feedback-controlled source degeneration is applied to the input transconductor circuit (Gm,in) by using a resistor DAC (R-DAC). It mitigates the circuit nonlinearity, resulting in a large signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio (SNDR) and a high input impedance (Z <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">in</sub> ). The implemented neural recording IC achieves 813dB SNDR over 200Hz signal bandwidth and 200mV <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">PP</sub> maximum allowable input range while consuming 3.9μW per channel.
