Working with ICsense: Cochlear
Since 2004 ICsense develops custom analog and mixed-signal parts of Cochlear's hearing implant ICs. Cochlear is the leading global expert in implantable hearing solutions with HQ in Australia. “At Cochlear, we want to work on the edge of technology and in an iterative way we need to find out what is technically achievable on chip. As a result, a clear specification sheet is not always available in the beginning of a project,” explains Carl Van Himbeeck, GM at Cochlear, “We have been working with ICsense for over 10 years for mainly 3 reasons 1) their technical competence, 2) their experience in design for implantable medical use and 3) the open cooperation model”.
