Abstract: Objective:Different electrical stimulation modalities have different biological effects.Many effective,mature treat-ment modalities have been developed so far.There are many electrical stimulation devices,which have only a specific treatment model,on the market.This project will develop an alternating electrical stimulation device with multiple treatment models to meet the needs of developing new therapeutic methods.Methods:The transcranial alternating electrical stimulator utilized MSP430F413 as a main controlled chip to control adjustable waveform generating circuit with MAX038 as a signal generating chip.Because The output frequency of MAX038 can be controlled over a frequency range of 0.1 Hz to 20 MHz,and it can produces triangle,sawtooth,sine,square,and pulse waveforms,could generate many kinds of stimulation modes.Through software programming,the device has a rich set of parameters and display.Results:It has nine Built-in common modes of treatment,and the parameters can be set quickly and easily by six interrupt buttons.With different electrodes,electrical stimulation modalities can be switched over:the conductive electrodes for current treatment,and the insulated electrodes for electric field treatment.Conclusions:Though many times commissioning and validation,the output voltage of alternating electrical stimulator Vp-p is 5 V.it can be enlarged by medical amplifier.the adjustable range of the output frequency was 0.1 Hz~5 MHz,the accuracy is ±2%,and might generate square wave,triangular wave,sine wave and their modulated wave with low noise.There is better stability and reliability,and it is satisfied with medical equipment safe standard IEC-601 promulgated by IEC.So it achieved the requirement.
