Abstract
A new cochlear implant microstimulator is described in the present paper. It consists of a full custom integrated circuit designed in 3 μm CMOS technology. The main feature of the targeted device is its `transparency' to the stimulation algorithms, that is, no internal constraints have been imposed to make its design dependent of any stimulation pattern. The resulting chip has a microprocessor architecture executing 32-bit command words to generate different output current waveforms through sixteen outputs.
