Abstract

In this paper, an in-depth design methodology for fully-integrated tunable low-noise amplifiers for neural recording applications is presented. In this methodology, a modified system design is proposed to optimize the area/noise/linearity performance. A novel linear pseudo-resistor with a wide range of tunability is also proposed. As a case study, a low-noise tunable and reconfigurable amplifier for neural recording applications is designed and simulated in a 0.18$\mu{\rm m}$complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor process in all process corners. Simulated characteristics of the amplifier include tunable gain of 54 dB, tunable high-cutoff frequency of 10 kHz, programmable low-cutoff frequency ranging from 4 to 300 Hz, and power consumption of 20.8$\mu{\rm W}$at 1.8 V. According to postlayout simulations, integrated input-referred noise of the amplifier is 2.6$\mu{\rm V}_{\rm rms}$and 2.38$\mu{\rm V}_{\rm rms}$over the 0.5 Hz–50 kHz frequency range for low-cutoff frequency of 4 and 300 Hz, respectively. The amplifier also provides output voltage swing of 1${\rm V}_{\rm P-P}$with total harmonic distortion of -46.24 dB at 300 Hz, and -45.97 dB at 10 kHz.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Pseudo-resistor transistor structures can be divided into non-tunable (constant) and tunable topologies, which can themselves be classified as voltage- or current-controlled structures.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
