Wearable and implantable medical devices have shown great benefits in monitoring health conditions and combating various diseases that cannot be cured by conventional medical means. The physiological and neural signal acquisition is at the very front of such devices, and its performance is crucial to the overall system. This talk will start with an introduction to the neural signal and how to interface with neurons and acquire the neural signal, such as the “action potentials”. The requirements for the neural signal recording amplifier and some challenges, as well as the solutions, will be discussed. The tutorial will conclude with a recently developed multi-channel peripheral nerve signal acquisition IC with wireless power and data link.
Dr Yong Ping Xu graduated from Nanjing University, China, in 1977, and received his PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of New South Wales, Australia, in 1994. He was a Lecturer at University of South Australia, Adelaide, from 1996 to 1998. He joined the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, National University of Singapore in 1998 and is now an Associate Professor. His current research includes integrated circuit design for MEMS, sensors, and biomedical applications. He has published over 100 papers and 1 book (in printing), and has 6 granted US patents.Dr Xu has been a member of Technical Program Committee of Symposium on VLSI Circuits (VLSI) since 2017. He served ITPC of IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) from 2014 to 2018 and the TPC of IEEE Asian Solid-State Circuits Conference (A-SSCC) from 2009 to 2013. Dr Xu is a Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society from 2017 to 2018.
