Abstract
Conference Title: 2015 27th International Conference on Microelectronics (ICM) Conference Start Date: 2015, Dec. 20 Conference End Date: 2015, Dec. 23 Conference Location: Casablanca, Morocco This paper investigates various implementation techniques of neural amplifiers with emphasis on their design performance metrics and trade-offs such as gain, noise, power consumption, and area. The proposed comparative analysis covers the recently published neural amplifiers in the literature, and proposes a basic optimization method for these amplifiers. These amplifiers are redesigned using UMC 130nm CMOS technology for fair comparison.
