Abstract

A design summary of inductively coupled planar coil loops including misalignment effects is presented. Also, voltage multipliers suitable for hybrid microelectronics fabrication are compared. It is pointed out that inductive power links can provide a preferred source of power for implanted microelectronic sensor and actuator devices when source voltage regulation does not have to be tightly controlled. Inductive power links isolate the power source electrostatically from the remotely powered device. Advances in silicon analog and digital technology permit complex electronics to be powered from inductive links where voltage regulation and voltage multiplier/dividers are integrated on the remote device. It is concluded that inductive power sources are practical for powering biomedical sensors and actuators where the use of battery power is not feasible or unsafe.
