A biomedical interface that combines into a single and compact device the recording of biopotentials and the electrical stimulation of neural fibres is presented. It is intended for enabling the control over a robotic hand and for restoring the sensory feedback in amputees by directly interfacing the peripheral nervous system (PNS) in closed-loop. A modular system consisting in one or more independent 16-channels bidirectional units was conceived. Each module is based on three 0.35 mu m bulk-CMOS integrated circuits (ICs): a recording unit, a High-Voltage (HV) stimulator and a HV booster. A tunable bandwidth (1 0 Hz-8kHz) allows the recording IC to acquire both electroneurographyc (ENG) and electromiographyc (EMG) signals with a programmable gain up to 43.5 dB. The signals are then converted into a digital domain by means of a Sigma Delta converter. Due to the typical high impedance at the electrode-tissue interface, a programmable HV booster that increases the stimulation voltage up to 19V was designed. It is directly controlled by the stimulation module that generates current-based pulses with a programmable amplitude and pulse-width. The whole system was validated by means of in vivo experiments in rats. |
