A multi-channel,fully differential programmable chip for neural recording application is presented.The integrated circuit incorporates eight neural recording amplifiers with tunable bandwidth and gain,eight 4thorder Bessel switch capacitor filters,an 8-to-1 analog time-division multiplexer,a fully differential successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter(SAR ADC),and a serial peripheral interface for communication.The neural recording amplifier presents a programmable gain from 53 dB to 68 dB,a tunable low cut-off frequency from 0.1 Hz to 300 Hz,and 3.77 μVrms input-referred noise over a 5 kHz bandwidth.The SAR ADC digitizes signals at maximum sampling rate of 20 kS/s per channel and achieves an ENOB of 7.4.The integrated circuit is designed and fabricated in 0.18-μm CMOS mix-signal process.We successfully performed a multi-channel in-vivo recording experiment from a rat cortex using the neural recording chip.

The SAR ADC digitizes signals at maximum sampling rate of 20 kS / s per channel and achieves an ENOB of 7.4.
