... simulation results of the integrated input-referred noise due to the device mismatch. An average input-referred noise voltage of 6.6 μV rms is obtained with a standard deviation, σ = 210 × 10 −9 V. A transient simulation with a sinusoidal input of 200 μV p−p and 1 KHz frequency is performed. The corresponding Monte Carlo simulation as shown in Fig. 7 depicts a total harmonic distortion of 1.3 % with a σ of ...

... Another important application of SiNs is the advancement of biomedical devices such as artificial limbs [3][4][5]. Modern artificial limbs are made from plastic composites, metals, and other materials; some more-advanced models even include electronics that allow limited movement of the digits of the hand [5]. With further development of tissue-to-circuit interfaces, SiNs may one day provide more fluid control of an artificial limb to an amputee. ...
An integrated circuit implementation of a silicon neuron was designed, manufactured, and tested. The circuit was designed using the Quadratic, Integrate, and Fire (QIF) neuron model in 0.5 µm silicon technology. The neuron implementation was optimized for low current consumption, drawing only 1.56 mA per QIF circuit and utilized hysteretic reset, non-inverting integrator, and voltage-squarer circuits. The final area of each circuit in silicon was 268 µm height × 400 µm width. This design is the first IC of its kind for this neuron model and is successfully able to output true spiking that follows the behaviors of bistability, monotonic, and excitability spiking. The normal QIF design also features an easy way to change the time constant (which nominally operates in the millisecond range) of the spiking via a single, external capacitor (the only off-chip component in this design); the adaptive gain variation of the QIF circuit adds a second parameter that adjusts the time constant via an external resistor. The design also allows for an adjustable reset threshold and operates on a ±5 V power supply.
