Abstract

An RFID reader collecting neural data from implanted electrodes of an electro-corticography ECoG system is proposed. The system also is able to power an implant using a class E power amplifier (PA) while it receives data by an asynchronous demodulation. A standard 65nm CMOS TSMC technology is used. Simulations reveal an average power consumption of the overall system of 19 mW with on a 1.2V supply a 300MHz carrier frequency. The data transmission is 1MHz and a bit error rate (BER) of 0.3% is evaluated.
