Micro-stimulator is a kind of medicine device, which can stimulate specific parts of organisms by generating amount of current. The stimulating effect is closely related with the current. In order to find the current parameters of the best results of stimulation, this paper introduces the design of micro-stimulator based on FPGA, which is based DDS technology. In this design, wave parameters are generated by FPGA chip. Among these parameters, frequency, wave form and amplitude can be modified. Cooperated with digital-to-analog conversion circuit and voltage-controlled constant current source, this system can generate a variety of stimulating current, which current parameters can be adjusted. In this paper, the principle and design of the micro-stimulator is described. The design of this microstimulator is also been verified. In bio-experiment, it could generate the needed biphasic pulse.
