Abstract: Exemplary systems and methods for optimizing a compliance voltage of an auditory prosthesis are disclosed. Each stimulation channel formed by electrodes that are coupled to an auditory prosthesis may have an adjustable current steering range associated therewith. Each adjustable current steering range is centered about the midpoint of its respective stimulation channel and defines a range of current steering that may be used within its respective stimulation channel. A compliance voltage of an auditory prosthesis may be optimized by setting a current steering range for one or more stimulation channels to a value that results in an optimum balance between power conservation and performance of the auditory prosthesis.

Abstract: A content addressable memory (CAM) suppresses an indication of a match in response to determining that the entry that stores data matching received compare data is the subject of a write operation. To suppress the indication, an address decoder decodes a write address associated with the write operation to determine the entry of the CAM that is the subject of the write operation, and provides control signaling indicative of the determined entry. The CAM uses the control signaling to suppress any match indications for the entry being written, thereby preventing erroneous match indications.
