Abstract

In this paper, a 10-b analog-to-digital converter (referred to as EMADC) for directly monitoring electrical stimulator outputs with voltage from ~0V up to ~45V is proposed. A new high voltage (HV) switch for sampling is also proposed. The maximum input voltage for the HV switch is only limited by the drain-to-source breakdown voltages of the HV transistors. The EMADC was implemented in a 0.18μm CMOS HV process. For a sampling rate of 125kS/s, the current consumptions from the 46V and 2.7V supplies were 4μA and 21μA, respectively. The measured DNL and INL errors were within -0.61/+0.78LSB and -0.70/+0.92LSB, respectively.
