High-density microelectrode arrays allow the neuroscientist to study a wider neurons population, however, this causes an increase of communication bandwidth. Given the limited resources available for an implantable silicon interface, an on-fly data reduction is mandatory to stay within the power/area constraints. This can be accomplished by implementing a spike detector aiming at sending only the useful information about spikes. We show that the novel non-linear energy operator called ASO in combination with a simple but robust noise estimate, achieves a good trade-off between performance and consumption. The features of the investigated technique make it a good candidate for implantable BMIs. Our proposal is tested both on synthetic and real datasets providing a good sensibility at low SNR. We also provide a 1024-channels VLSI implementation using a Random-Access Memory composed by latches to reduce as much as possible the power consumptions. The final architecture occupies an area of 2.3 mm2, dissipating 3.6 µW per channels. The comparison with the state of art shows that our proposal finds a place among other methods presented in literature, certifying its suitability for BMIs.
