Abstract
The invention relates to a device hosting a transducer array and to a method for configuring such a transducer array device. In particular, the invention relates to a transducer device with a high density transducer array and an embedded multiplexer for generating a reconfigurable routing from an almost arbitrary subset of transducers to a limited number of signal conditioning or actuation channels. The device comprises a transducer array with a plurality of transducers. It further comprises a plurality of channels, each channel having its own signal processing unit, or generation unit, or both located outside the transducer array itself. It further comprises routing means for routing signals from an arbitrary subset of transducers to the channels or vice versa. Instead of reading out from or actuating through all the transducers of a transducer array, a 'flexible' subset of transducer pixels in large pixel arrays is selected, and only the subset is read out or addressed. Every channel has, e.g., its own continuous-time filtering and amplification stage, or stimulation stage, or both, which are located outside the array itself. This allows for a high signal-to-noise ratio as well as high spatial resolution in recording and stimulation, as the transducers can be densely packed within the array.
