- Abstract
- A systematic design guideline is presented for the
noise performance of preamplifier for semiconductor neural
probe which contains on-chip electronic circuitry. The overall
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is calculated considering the spectral
characteristics of the measured extracellular action potential
and the low-frequency noise spectrum of the CMOS device from
typical fabrication processes. An analytical expression of the
output noise power is derived, and utilized to tailor the frequency
response and device parameters which are controllable by the circuit
designer. An analysis of the output SNR of a two-stage CMOS
differential amplifier is given and the major factors which have
significant effects on the SNR are determined. We showed that a
little deviation of the input device sizes and transconductance ratio
from the optimal values can significantly deteriorate the SNR.
Quantitative information of the preamplifier circuit parameters
for satisfactory noise performance is provided.
