Body Channel Communication (BCC) utilizes the body surface as a low-loss signal transmission medium, reducing the power consumption of wireless wearable devices. However, the effective communication range on the human body is limited in the state-of-the-art BCC transceivers, where the signal loss between the body surface and the BCC receiver remains one of the main bottlenecks. To reduce the interface loss, a high input impedance is desired by the BCC receiver, but the DC-biasing circuits decrease the input impedance.

Wireless implantable devices are widely used in medical treatment, which should meet clinical constraints such as longevity, miniaturization, and reliable communication. Wireless power transfer (WPT) can eliminate the battery to reduce system size and prolong device life, while it's challenging to generate a reliable clock without a crystal. In this work, we propose a self-adaptive dual-injection-locked-ring-oscillator (dual-ILRO) clock-recovery technique based on two-tone WPT and integrate it into a battery-free neural-recording SoC.

Miniaturization is essential in the design of wireless neural-recording systems. In recent years, the battery in neural-recording systems can be eliminated by wireless power transfer (WPT), while antenna and crystal become two main bottlenecks to minimize a battery-less neural implant. In conventional battery-less designs, the miniaturization of antenna led to a short communication range, and a crystal-less clock suffered from noise issue or power-hungry circuits.

Wireless neural-recording instruments eliminate the bulky cables in multi-channel signal transmission, while the system size should be reduced to mitigate the impact on freely-moving animals. As the battery usually dominates the system size, the neural-recording chip should be low power to minimize the battery in long-termly monitoring. In general, a neural-recording chip consists of an analog front end (AFE) and an 8 bit -10 bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), while it's challenging to design an ADC with an 8 -10 effective number of bits (ENOB) and sub- μ W power consumption due to the kickback noise.
