Cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of
death and disability in the United States and most
European countries. Real-time chronic blood pressure
information of genetically engineered mice can help
scientists understand the diseases and to develop
new drugs and treatments for the diseases. However,
there is no adequate solution for chronic blood
pressure monitoring to date due to small laboratory
mouse size and their small blood vessel dimension.
By merging MEMS technology and low-power CMOS
integrated circuits design through a high level
system integration together with...

Implantable devices are a unique area for circuit designers. A comprehensive understanding of design trade-offs at the system level is important to ensure device success. Circuit Design Considerations for Implantable Devices provides knowledge to CMOS circuit designers with limited biomedical background to understand design challenges and trade-offs for implantable devices, especially neural interfacing. Technical topics discussed in the book include: Neural interface Neural sensing amplifiers Electrical stimulation Embedded Signal Analysis Wireless...
