Abstract
We propose a new implantable circuit for the internal Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) of motor nerves for paraplegic people. The circuit is designed to deliver precise calibrated stimulation pulses to specific multi-polar electrodes. Several original design features have been developed to respond to the particular specifications imposed by safety constraints. In particular, the D AC has been thought to be fully monotonic and the output stage to ensure a passive and secure discharge of the safety capacitor. Also some tricky features have been added in order to improve the classical charge pump that generates on-chip high voltage. © 2004 IEEE.
