Title: Design of a 5-Bit Algorithmic A/D Converter for Potential Use in a Wireless Neural Recorder ApplicationAbstract: The constant endeavor to measure and record neural signals from the human brain and anticipate the results to figure out the mechanism which governs the functionality of our brain and its true behavior is the major driving force behind this thesis. Neural recording integrated circuits (ICs) are often inserted directly into the brain, with a set of probes for sensing these action potentials (and local field potentials), and appropriate circuitry for amplifying the neural signals (Pre-Amp), sampling and converting the analog signals to digital (ADC) and transmitting the resulting digital signal (Transmitter) to a nearby reader instrument (Receiver).
