Neural recording systems play a crucial role in comprehending the intricacies of the brain and advancing treatments for neurological disorders. Within these systems, the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) serves as a fundamental component, converting the electrical signals from the brain into digital data that can be further processed and analyzed by computing units. This research introduces a novel nonlinear ADC designed specifically for spike sorting in biomedical applications.

A particular case of these converters is the integrate-and-fire converter (IFC) that is inspired by the neural system. If it is possible to develop a standard-cell-based (SCB) IFC circuit to perform well in advanced technology nodes, it will benefit from the simplicity of SCB circuit designs and can be implemented in widely available field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).

This paper presents a 10-channel, 120 nW/channel, reconfigurable capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC) enabling sub- μW wearable sensing applications. The proposed multi-channel architecture supports 10 channels with a shared reconfigurable 6-bit differential analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The reconfigurable nature of the CDC enables adaptive sensing range and sensing speed based on the target application.

Intan Technologies' integrated circuits (ICs) are valuable tools for neurophysiological data acquisition, providing signal amplification, filtering, and digitization from many channels (up to 64 channels/chip) at high sampling rates (up to 30 kSPS) within a compact package (⩽9× 7 mm). However, we found that the analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) in the Intan RHD2000 series ICs can produce artifacts in recorded signals. Here, we examine the effects of these ADC artifacts on neural signal quality and describe a method to detect them in recorded data.
