[0053] Embodiment two

[0054] The compression mode is taken as an example to describe in detail below.

[0055] When the compression mode is selected, the reconstruction unit is used as A-FIFO (First Input First Output, first-in-first-out), the SAR logic unit does not work, the AP detector, ramp generator, multi-input comparator and counter work, SS / SARADC It is used as SS ADC (single-slope ADC, single-slope ADC).

[0056] In this embodiment, the structure of the reconstruction unit is equivalent to an A-FIFO capacitor array, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of the equivalent structure of the reconstruction unit in the compression mode provided by the embodiment of the present invention. In compression mode, the capacitor bank C 0 ~C 6 combined as a unit capacitance of an A-FIFO (C A-FIFO )use. C 7 ~C 20 each as 1 C A-FIFO use. exist Figure 5 Medium, C 1A-FIFO to C 16A-FIFO Both are unit capacitance C A-FIFO , the lower plates of...

Abstract

The invention discloses a reconfigurable SAR/SS ADC applied to biological neural signal processing. The reconfigurable SAR/SS ADC comprises a reconstruction unit (1), an AP detector (2), a slope generator (3), a multi-input comparator (4), an SAR logic unit (5) and a counter (6). According to the reconfigurable SS/SAR ADC provided by the invention, the reconfigurable SS/SAR ADC can be used as an SS ADC in a compression mode, an input signal is quantized only when an AP signal arrives, the integrity of the AP signal can be kept, and the power consumption of a circuit is reduced; the device canbe used as an SAR ADC in a common mode, the shape of a signal curve can be accurately recorded, and further neuroscience research is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of integrated circuits, and in particular relates to a reconfigurable SS / SAR ADC applied to biological nerve signal processing. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the analog front-end technology for acquiring neural signals has developed rapidly, and a high-efficiency analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is an indispensable key module in the neural recording interface. Due to its low-frequency (below 10kHz) and weak (below 3mV) characteristics, neural signals are extremely susceptible to external interference, which makes it very difficult to read data accurately. On the other hand, people's desire for great life convenience brought by portable wearable wireless devices is increasing day by day. [0003] At present, for neural signal acquisition systems, it is generally hoped that high-quality neural signal activities can be recorded on the premise of maintaining low power consumption. Neural signals often ...
