'''Retina Chip Documentation System''' — the live, present-state knowledge base for the high-channel-count implantable neural-interface ASIC.

The diagram below is the retina chip signal chain. '''Click any block''' to open its wiki page.

== About this wiki ==

This wiki follows two hard rules:

* '''Two genres, never merged''' — the [[Timeline]] is an immutable, append-only chronological record of ''what was believed on a date''. Wiki pages are statements of ''what is true now''. They are never merged.
* '''Durable vs instance''' — every block splits into a '''durable''' page (what the block is, design equations, budgeting procedure — true independent of any chip) and '''instance''' pages (component values, sizing, post-PEX numbers, errata for a specific silicon). A chip page is a thin manifest linking to its instances.

== The chips in scope ==

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Chip !! Node !! Role
|-
| [[RC1.9]] || TSMC 28nm HPC+ || 1024-channel wired AFE redesign; taped out
|-
| [[RC2.0]] || TSMC 28nm HPC+ || wireless variant (UWB); currently active
|-
| [[PMU1]] || 180nm || power-management test chip — does '''not''' inherit 28nm defaults
|-
| RC3.0 / RC3.1 || 28nm || future, scaled toward 10k+ channels
|}

== Start here ==

* [[Blocks]] — the signal-chain building blocks (durable theory + per-chip instances)
* [[Decisions]] (ADRs) — the load-bearing record of what was chosen and why
* [[Methods]] — cross-cutting, chip-independent procedures
* [[Timeline]] — the immutable weekly slides &amp; meeting minutes archive</text>
