On investigation into A CMOS-process-based high-voltage driver applied to implantable microsystem

Stimulator is a key for implantable applications such as neural prostheses, which provides injected current flowing directly to the neural interfacing and cells or tissues of interest to activate neural responses as long as the electric charge thresholds involved can be achieved. This papers aims presenting a preliminary research results toward an efficient stimulator for which particular emphasis is put on the efficiency point of view. Analysis and design are introduced. Experimental results from our first-edition proof of concept are given.
