An Energy-Efficient, Dynamic Voltage Scaling Neural Stimulator for a Proprioceptive Prosthesis
This is journal version of the conference paper at ISCAS 2012, selected as one of the best 10 papers in a special issue for this IEEE TBioCAS. This paper reports a novel, highly energy-efficient method of delivering current-mode electrical neural stimulation by exploiting a dynamic-voltage scaling technique. This can provide up to a 3-fold increase in the implantable battery lifetime without requiring any off-chip capacitors. This method is currently being applied to a neural implant for obesity (i2MOVE ERC Synergy project, ERC-2012-SyG, €7.2m). Representative of a body of work including 2 journals/4 conference papers in peripheral nerve interfacing.
