Abstract:

This paper proposes a low power and efficient neural spike feature extraction chip for large-scale neural signal recording. The communication module, control module and algorithm module are integrated in this chip. To lower power consumption, the algorithm module is designed based on an efficient online feature extraction algorithm (the Dual Vertex Threshold (DVT) and the Minimum Delimitation (MD)), and multiplexing structure is widely used in this chip design, which is beneficial to reduce the area of proposed chip. Fabricated with the 0.18 μm N-well CMOS 1P6M technology, power consumption of this chip is only 5.6357 μW/channel in 1V voltage supply and the neural signal transmission bandwidth is reduced by 98.38%.
