Abstract
Cochlear implants are devices designed to provide a measure of hearing to the deaf. It can help a person to hear effectively.Cochlear Implants have classified based on the no. of channels used in the cochlea. Cochlear Implant consists of signal processor, external transmitter, internal receiver and electrode array. The signal processing strategy has been used for transmitting the original speech signal to electrical stimuli. In this paper, we mainly focus on the Continuous Interleaved Sampling (CIS) technique having high stimulation rate and least channel interaction for each channel used in cochlea. This technique is modeled using the Xilinx’s System Generator. Translation of the Simulink model into a hardware realization has been done using System generator. The Verilog code for each blocks of CIS processor is developed and simulation results are verified. Further, the design can be downloaded into the Spartan3 FPGA device for hardware requirements.
