ZIF‐Clip® ZD Digital Headstages
ZIF‐Clip® ZD Overview
ZD ZIF-Clip® digital headstages use Intan RHD2000 amplifier chips to digitize
physiological recordings directly inside the headstage. Digitized signals are routed to a
PZ5 with a digital input board for transfer to an RZ base station. A single PZ5
digital input board can support up to 96 channels via a direct connection to any of
the ZD headstage form factors(32, 64, or 96 channels). The headstage cable is
detachable for easy, low-cost replacement.
The ZIF-Clip® headstage (Patent No. 7540752) features an innovative, hinged
headstage design that ensures quick, easy headstage connection with almost no
insertion force applied to the subject. ZIF-Clip® headstage contacts seat inside the
probe array and snap in place, firmly locking the headstage and probe with very little
applied pressure. These self-aligning headstages provide long lasting low insertion
performance for a variety of channel number and electrode configurations. An
aluminum finish provides increased durability.
These headstages are recommended for use with probe that have an impedance in
the range of 20 Kohm to 2 Mohm. By default, ground and reference are separate
on all ZIF-Clip® headstages yielding a differential configuration. Reference and ground
may be tied together on the headstage adapter or ZIF-Clip® microwire array for
single-ended configurations.
