Design of system-on-chip in 180 nm technology for multi-channel wireless recording of the nerve tissue electrical activity

The article describes a System on Chip (SoC) for multi-channel wireless recording of nerve tissue electrical activity. Specificity of neural signals, the method of registration by using microelectrode arrays and requirements for the SoC are presented. Eventually, individual elements of the system such as conditioning module, analogue multiplexer, A/D converter, radio transmitter and system controller are discussed.
