Power and area efficient on-chip feature extraction is needed for future closed-loop neural interfaces. This paper presents a feature extraction unit for neural oscillatory synchrony that bypasses the phase extraction step to reduce hardware complexity. Instead, the sine and cosine of the phase are directly approximated from the real and imaginary components of the signal to calculate the phase amplitude coupling (PAC) and phase locking value (PLV). The synthesized design achieves state-of-the-art performances at 200 nW/channel and 0.005 mm2, while maintaining sufficient accuracy for seizure detection in epileptic patients.
