Abstract

In neuroprostheses applications requiring simultaneous stimulations on a multielectrode array, electric crosstalk, the spatial interaction between electric fields from various electrodes is a major limitation to the performance of multichannel stimulation. This paper presents a multichannel stimulator design that combines high-frequency current stimulation (using biphasic charge-balanced chopped pulse profile) with a switched-capacitor power isolation method. The approach minimizes crosstalk and is particularly suitable for fully integrated realization. A stimulator fabricated in a 0.6 & #x03BC;m CMOS high-voltage technology is presented. It is used to implement a multichannel, high-frequency, power-isolated stimulator. Crosstalk reduction is demonstrated with electrodes in physiological media while the efficacy of the high-frequency stimulator chip is proven in vivo. The stimulator provides fully independent operation on multiple channels and full flexibility in the design of neural modulation protocols.
