Abstract

In this paper we present a simplified analog VLSI inner hair cell model, which models the main characteristics of the biological inner hair cell, i.e., 1) soft half-wave rectification, 2) low-pass filtering at 1kHz, and 3) adaptation to sustained input. The main challenge lies in the creation of the long time constant associated with the 1kHz low-pass filter and the adaptation. A modified current mirror structure has been used to create a non-linear low-pass filter which has a cut-off frequency of 1kHz or lower with reasonable component and bias values. Comparison of measurements of the biological inner hair cell and the circuit show a good agreement between the two.
