    摘要: This invention concerns interfacing to electronic circuits or systems operating at low temperature or ultra-low temperature using complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Low temperature in this case refers to cryogenic temperatures in particular, but not exclusively, to the 4.2 K region. Ultra-low temperatures here refers to the sub-1 K range, usually accessed using dilution refrigerator systems. The electronic circuits comprise a controller (for writing and manipulation), an observer (for readout and measurement) circuits, or both, fabricated from ultra-thin silicon-on-insulator (SOI) CMOS technology.

    摘要: Tissue-stimulating prostheses that include a single-wire electrode array for delivery of electrical stimulation signals (current stimulation) to a recipient. The single-wire electrode array comprises a plurality of electrode devices that are all connected to a stimulator unit via a single-wire connection (i.e., only one wire or lead). Each of the plurality of electrode devices is individually addressable by the stimulator unit for delivery of the current signals to the recipient via the single-wire connection.

    摘要: A method and system for charge imbalance compensation in a stimulating medical device is provided. The stimulating medical device includes at least one electrode contact configured for providing stimulation to a recipient. A charge imbalance compensation system in the stimulating medical device measures any residual charge remaining on the electrode contact that may result from an imbalance in the applied stimulation. If the measured residual charge exceeds a threshold, the charge imbalance compensation system causes a compensator current to be applied to reduce the residual charge. This residual charge may be measured by measuring a potential difference between the electrode contact and a reference electrode; or, by measuring a potential difference across a capacitor in-series with the electrode contact.

    摘要: A transconductance amplifier has a pair of input terminals and a pair of output terminals. A first pair of transconductors is connected to the input terminals and the output terminals. A second pair of transconductors has inputs connected to output terminals, and outputs connected to the opposing output terminals. A third pair of transconductors has both its inputs and its outputs connected to the output terminals. One or more of the transconductors have a control port for a control signal to adjust its transconductance. The control signal may switch the transconductance of this or these transconductors between two or more values. One or more of the transconductors in the transconductance amplifier may include a tri-state inverter, which may be enabled or disabled through a control port.

    摘要: A system for transferring data and power between electronic devices implanted in a patient is described. The system comprises a first unit and a second unit that in use are both implanted in the patient and a cable connecting the first unit and the second unit. The first unit comprises a current supply unit that supplies a selected current output to the second unit via the cable and a processor configured to anticipate an action to be performed by the second unit and to select the current output dependent on the anticipated action.
