This paper presents a 15-channel, 30-V, implantable current stimulator for restoring locomotion control after spinal cord injuries. The stimulator features performance specifications comparable to those of large desktop instrumentation: high linearity, high precision of the delivered currents, small channel-to-channel mismatches and a fast settling time of 0.3 μs. An ADC-based active charge balancing scheme using a digital PI (proportional-integral) controller was implemented in firmware.
本文介绍了一种用于脊髓损伤后恢复运动控制的15通道、30V植入式电流刺激器。该刺激器的性能规格可与大型台式仪器相媲美:线性度高、输出电流精度高、通道间失配小且建立时间快,为0.3微秒。固件中实现了一种基于ADC的采用数字PI(比例积分)控制器的有源电荷平衡方案。
