TY  - JOUR
AB - Bi-directional brain machine interfaces enable simultaneous brain activity monitoring and neural modulation. However stimulation artifact can saturate instrumentation front-end, while concurrent on-site recording is needed. This brief presents a voltage controlled-oscillator (VCO) based continuous-time $\rm \Delta \Sigma $ modulator (CTDSM) with rail-to-rail input range and fast artifact tracking. A hybrid $1^{st}/2^{nd}$ -order loop is designed to achieve high dynamic range (DR) and large input range. Stimulation artifact is detected by a phase counter and compensated by the $1^{st}$ -order loop. The residue signal is digitized by the $2^{nd}$ -order loop for high precision. Redundancy between the two loops is implemented as feedback capacitors elements with non-binary ratio to guarantee feedback stability and linearity. Fabricated in a 55-nm CMOS process, the prototype achieves 65.7dB SNDR across 10 kHz bandwidth with a full scale of 200 mVpp. And a ±1.2 V input range is achieved to suppress artifacts. Saline based experiment with simultaneous stimulation and recording demonstrates that the implemented system can track and tolerate rail-to-rail stimulation artifact within 30 $\mu \text{s}$ while small neural signal can be continuously monitored.
