Nixel 512

The Nixel 512 chip is a recording peripheral that can implement the Synapse Electrical Broadband node. It supports the following ElectricalBroadbandConfig parameters:

Parameter nameParameter options
bit_width12
sample_rate4000, 8000, 16000, 20000, 25000, 32000
gain200
low_cutoff_hz57, 66, 77, 92, 114, 154, 234, 457 (defaults 92 if field is empty)
high_cutoff_hz1445, 1862, 2630, 4365, 13489 (defaults 13489 if field is empty)
channelsvalid electrode_id and reference_id depend on the desired reference mode
Differential Mode

You need to select pairs of electrodes according to the following rules:

  1. electrode_id: Select of set of even numbered electrodes which fall between 0–511, inclusive.
  2. reference_id: For a given electrode_id n, reference_id = n+1
Global Reference Mode
  1. electrode_id: All even OR all odd values between 0–511, inclusive.

  2. reference_id: Refer to the following table:

Ground Reference Mode

To use PCB ground as your reference signal:

  1. electrode_id: All even OR all odd values between 0–511, inclusive.

  2. reference_id: 520

SciFi Virtual Recording Peripheral

This recording peripheral generates test data for benchmarking and debugging SciFi. It can implement the Electrical Broadband node. The peripheral will attempt to match the bit-rate requested by the supplied config parameters. It supports the following ElectricalBroadbandConfig parameters:

Parameter nameParameter options
bit_width12
sample_rate0–10000
gainIgnored
low_cutoff_hzIgnored
high_cutoff_hzIgnored
channelselectrode_id and reference_id are ignored. Test data will output the id of each configured channel at the requested sample rate
