Abstract

See full text

A high CMRR neural signal amplifier is configured for supply rail common mode feedback (SR-CMFB) whereby a set of CMFB signals is provided to supply rails of front end LNAs. High CMRR is maintained through buffering outputs of front end signal LNAs and a reference LNA coupled to signal and reference inputs of second stage amplifiers, respectively; and buffering the reference LNA output using an active/guard buffer pair, whereby across a plurality of distinct multiplexing time intervals, during each multiplexing time interval one buffer of the pair functions as an active buffer that drives second stage amplifier reference inputs corresponding to second stage amplifier outputs being multiplexed to a set of multiplexor outputs, and the other buffer of the pair functions as a guard buffer coupled to other second stage amplifier reference inputs corresponding to second stage amplifier outputs not being multiplexed to the set of multiplexor outputs.
