Abstract
A compact and low-distortion neural recording amplifier is presented. The amplifier consists of two stages of amplification using capacitive feedback to set a gain of 54dB. To minimize flicker noise in the 1st stage, internal chopping is utilized at the folded node of the OTA, resulting in flicker noise contribution from the input differential pair only. A low-distortion constant-V <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">GS</inf> feedback circuit to set a low frequency high-pass pole is introduced. It is less sensitive to the output swing than the conventional sub-threshold MOS circuit. The amplifier fabricated in a standard 1.2V 0.13µm CMOS technology occupies 125×175µm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> and achieves an NEF of 4.4, an input-referred noise of 4.7µV over a 5kHz bandwidth, a CMRR of 75dB and a THD of −50dB for a 0.6V output swing.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
