The 8-channel neural stimulation chip includes a waveform generator, high voltage output stage, and charge balancer, tested using electrode model, PBS solution, and animal, respectively. The chip features high-voltage compliance and biphasic exponentially decaying current output, achieving 98% output power efficiency. This chip could be applied in human-machine interfaces, such as spinal cord stimulation.
