A fully implantable multi-channel neural prosthesis for epidural stimulation will be demonstrated. The prosthesis features three telemetry-operated independent stimulators providing in total eighteen stimulation channels. The stimulator circuits were implemented in a 0.6-μm CMOS technology. The prosthesis is protected in a hermetically sealed ceramic enclosure and encapsulated in medical grade silicone rubber for long-term implantation. During the live demonstration in-vitro tests with electrodes in saline will be performed with the prosthesis operated wirelessly from a remote computer.@en

This paper presents a fully implantable multi-channel neural prosthesis for epidural stimulation. The prosthesis features three telemetry-operated independent stimulators providing in total eighteen stimulation channels. The stimulator circuits were implemented in a 0.6-μm CMOS technology. The prosthesis is protected in a hermetically sealed ceramic enclosure and encapsulated in medical grade silicone rubber. In-vitro measured results with electrodes in saline are presented.@en
