Abstract :
This paper presents an inductively powered stimulation concept exploiting an adiabatic circuit technique to improve system energy efficiency and increase the distance between the transmitter supplying the power and the implant. A prototype system including a test chip has been developed and tested demonstrating some significant merits.
