Chitkara University develops neural amplifier silicon chip

Is useful for the diagnosis of various chronic diseases such as Parkinson, spinal cord injuries, Epilepsy and paralysis etc.

The VLSI Centre of Excellence, Chitkara University, in collaboration with Semi-Conductor Laboratory (SCL), Mohali, has designed and fabricated a low-voltage, low-noise neural amplifier silicon chip in 0.18 µm technology, useful for the diagnosis of various chronic diseases such as Parkinson, spinal cord injuries, Epilepsy and paralysis etc.

The chip was released during an event at Chitkara University campus in the presence of pro chancellor Madhu Chitkara, vice-chancellor Archana Mantri, and HS Jatana, the group head, design and process group, semi-conductor laboratory (SCL), Mohali. (HT PHOTO)
