Abstract
This thesis describes techniques with design nomographs for supplying power to CMOS and microelectromechanical implanted devices. These applications require voltages in the range of 5 to 50 volts. Different kinds of voltage multiplier circuits were used to achieve high voltage output. The AC-to-DC and DC-to-DC capacitive bootstrap voltage multipliers are designed and analyzed. The AC-to-DC and DC-to-DC inductive bootstrap voltage multiplier circuits are presented and the SPICE simulations are done with those circuits. Four different options of inductive link high voltage power supply are presented, analyzed and compared. The link parameters of two VLSI-compatible square-shaped coils are calculated in both cases of perfect alignment and misalignment. All magnetic field and voltage transfer ratios in this thesis were programmed using Fortran language. This thesis concludes that the stagger-tuning circuit technique provides high voltage output and minimizes the sensitivity of the voltage gain to physical misalignment.
