Zusammenfassung:According to this embodiment of the present invention, a neural signal detection circuit includes: an amplifier unit for outputting a differential signal by adaptively adjusting a gain according to a size of a signal input by overlapping a neural signal and artifacts; a first ADC receiving an output signal of the amplifier unit and outputting a level code corresponding to a level of the output signal; a second ADC which compares and outputs the voltage difference formed by accumulating the difference of the differential signal; and an analog-to-digital converter including a logic circuit for outputting a digital code corresponding to the input signal by increasing or decreasing the level code according to an output of the second ADC. The amplifier unit adjusts the gain of the amplifier unit from the level code. Therefore, the present invention has a wide dynamic range, so that even when a signal with a large amplitude difference is input, the signal can be detected without being saturated. 본 실시예에 의한 신경 신호 검출 회로는 신경 신호와 아티팩트가 중첩되어 입력된 신호의 크기에 따라 적응적으로 이득(gain)을 조절하여 차동 신호로 출력하는 증폭기 부(amplifier unit); 및 증폭기 부의 출력 신호를 제공받고, 출력 신호의 레벨에 상응하는 레벨 코드를 출력하는 제1 ADC와, 차동 신호의 차이를 누적하여 형성된 전압차를 비교하여 출력하는 제2 ADC 및 제2 ADC의 출력에 따라 레벨 코드를 증감하여 입력된 신호에 상응하는 디지털 코드를 출력하는 로직 회로부를 포함하는 아날로그 디지털 변환기를 포함하고, 증폭기부는 레벨 코드로부터 증폭기부의 이득을 조절한다.
