Abstract :
This paper describes a inductively powered multichannel bionic neural link (BNL) system-on-chip (SOC) for peripheral nerve function restoration. The BNL-SOC consists of 8 neural recording and 4 stimulation channels, and is implemented in a 0.35-μm CMOS technology. Full function of the BNL has been demonstrated with in-vivo animal experiments. The entire BNL SOC consumes 1.5mW and operates under a 3V supply with an external +/-9V multichannel stimulation output driver.
