In this study, we demonstrate a four-wire control system for a retinal prosthesis consisting of multiple chips. The device consists of seven chips, each of which has seven electrodes and is assigned a unique ID. The period re-quired for setting the stimulation conditions is about 11 ms when all 49 (= 7×7) electrodes are driven sequentially by seven chips in parallel. This result corresponds to 20.5 ms per frame for 1,000 electrodes.
