New ASIC enables efficient neural signal acquisition for Spiking Neural Networks

Researchers have developed a new 32-channel event-based analog front-end (AFE) application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) designed for biomedical signal acquisition and encoding. This ASIC utilizes adaptive Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) and Asynchronous Delta Modulator (aADM) circuits to achieve high data compression for low-power information transmission. Fabricated using a 180 nm CMOS process, the device is compatible with Spiking Neural Network (SNN) neuromorphic processors and is intended for applications such as adaptive wireless communication of neural signals in brain-computer interfaces.
