Abstract

This work presents ReFIND, an SoC integrating together 16 resolution-reconfigurable AFEs, a feature extractor, and a classifier. The VCO ADC architecture trades power for resolution by scaling the integration time, from 13 to 10 b at 1.77 to$0.12 \mu \mathrm{W} /$channel. End-to-end validation shows up to$14 \times$power saving over a fixed array,$3 \times$more than channel selection. ReFIND enables runtime resolution scaling, opening up power-performance optimization in bio-signal classifiers.
