BME505L

This course will cover fundamental principles and circuits for implantable medical devices, geared to advanced undergraduates and graduate students interested in understanding the basics of hardware design for implantable neurological devices. Specific circuit examples of low-power amplifiers and implantable devices will be discussed. A system level approach that optimizes performance, reliability and power consumption will be emphasized. In parallel, printed circuit board design and fabrication will be presented. Principles of bioinstrumentation will be reinforced through practical design exercises. Prerequisite: BME 301L or graduate standing. (EL, IM, GE).
