Abstract:This paper presents a programmable 9-bits current source design for micro-stimulator dedicated to cochlear implant. Such architecture requires a current source permitting to generate bidirectional current multiform. Besides, thanks to a programmable module, flexibility was provided in stimulus generation. In fact, the hearing threshold could be determined, using 3-bits DAC in order to fix the maximum comfortable stimulation, then the stimulation current pulses could be controlled in amplitude, using a 6-bits t… Show more
