Abstract	The recording of neural activities has turned out to be a promising approach to understand the basic function of specific brain parts like the visual or motor cortex. However, the development and design of advanced neural recording systems is very challenging since the number of parallel measurement channels increases continuously. Beside the analog recording channels digital preprocessing becomes mandatory to handle the corresponding amount of data and to adapt this data to the available transmission bandwidth. In this paper we present the design as well as the behavioral modeling of an analog recording front-end. Simulation and measurement results demonstrate the performances of the system for recording neural signals. Since simulation of this analog front-end is very time consuming but essential for large fully-integrated designs, a mixed-signal model approach is introduced that enables a significant simulation acceleration of integrated and external analog front-ends. The simulation can be accelerated by a factor of up to 22.2 for a single front-end. The proposed system has been fabricated in a 0.35 μm CMOS technology and performances have been measured. This demonstrates that the behavioral model is compatible to the transistor level design. A neural spike detector shows the transient performance of the modeled design on real input stimuli.
