A Suprachoroidal Electrical Retinal Stimulator Design for Long-Term Animal Experiments and In Vivo Assessment of Its Feasibility and Biocompatibility in Rabbits

Operation of switch circuitry in stimulation and battery charging modes. When no data were loaded on 2.5 MHz carrier, CLK was logic high, therefore switch Q1 would be turned off, and the voltage of “a” node would be logic low, so switch Q2 would be turned on (battery recharging mode). If any data were loaded on 2.5 MHz carrier, the CLK would recover and the voltage of node “a” never went below the threshold of switch Q2, so Q2 was turned off, this would be disabling the charger chip period (stimulation mode).
