Modeling of Olivocerebellar Neurons using SystemC and High-Level Synthesis

Neuroscientific experiments often require large amounts of computational power to achieve an efficient research process. Speeding up neuron models, used in such experiments, facilitates faster testing of scientific hypotheses and faster model refinement in order to better replicate biological-cell behavior. To be able to simulate realistic...

Variable output voltage DC-DC converter with adjustable inductor current for neurostimulators

For neural cell stimulation there is a need of a high supply voltage up to 18V. However because the stimulation is not every time the same, sometimes there is only a need for lower supply voltage. The supply voltage should be variable so that loss of energy due to the wasted supply voltage headroom is minimized. In order to be able to cover this...
