This paper presents the complete transistor-level design of a Low-Noise-Amplifier (LNA) in CMOS 28 nm bulk technology for sensing the weak extracellular neuro-potentials signals in Electrolyte-Oxide-MOS (EOMOS) Brain-Chip Interfaces. The proposed LNA adopts an efficient pseudo-resistor topology that allow to synthesize a stable resistance (in the tens of {G} order) without any external calibration. The LNA has 2.4 Hz minimum passband frequency performing 7.8 {V}_{RMS and 8.8mu {V}_{RMS input-referred noise power at 1 Hz - 300 Hz (Local Field Potential) and 300 Hz-5 kHz (Action Potentials) bandwidth, respectively. The device consumes 2.4 {W} power and has been designed in 28 nm CMOS technology.

Abstract
This paper presents the complete transistor-level design of a Low-Noise-Amplifier (LNA) in CMOS 28 nm bulk technology for sensing the weak extracellular neuro-potentials signals in Electrolyte-Oxide-MOS (EOMOS) Brain-Chip Interfaces. The proposed LNA adopts an efficient pseudo-resistor topology that allow to synthesize a stable resistance (in the tens of {G} order) without any external calibration. The LNA has 2.4 Hz minimum passband frequency performing 7.8 {V}_{RMS and 8.8mu {V}_{RMS input-referred noise power at 1 Hz - 300 Hz (Local Field Potential) and 300 Hz-5 kHz (Action Potentials) bandwidth, respectively. The device consumes 2.4 {W} power and has been designed in 28 nm CMOS technology.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
