An implantable mixed analog/digital neural stimulator circuit

Abstract: This paper describes a chip for a multichannel neural stimulator for functional electrical stimulation. The chip performs all the signal processing required in an implanted neural stimulator. The power and signal transmission to the stimulator is carried out via an induce -WUlCUiOnS tive link. From the signals transmitted to the stimulator, the chip is able to generate charge-balanced current pulses with a controllable length and amplitude for stimulation of nerve fibres. The chip has 4 output channels so that… Show more

“…Traditional clock recovery circuits in [7] and [8] are too complex to be suitable for passive low power RFID application. The circuit reported in [15] generates a consecutive system clock of 1 MHz and have an average power consumption of 50 lA, while the proposed circuit consumes only \17 lA current and outputs a clock of 6.78 MHz.…”

“…There are few data published on the pulsewidths necessary for tripolar cuff electrodes to stimulate the human common peroneal nerve. The pulse-widths chosen above are equal to those used by HAUGLAND et al (2000) and GUDNASON et al (1999) for the same type of electrode. MCNEAL et al (1989) conducted a trial with chronically implanted tripolar nerve cuff electrodes, on the tibial nerve in cats; he reported little change in the recruitment curves for pulse durations greater than 200 gs.…”

“…Our involvement in this research is to develop implantable devices which will minimise the risk of infections by ensuring skin continuity [ 5 ] . In that way a bidirectional inductive link transmits power, control signals and feedback betw een the external control unit and the damaged nerve.…”
