Author(s): Xiudeng Wang, Haohao Shi, Youlan Zeng, Libo Qian, Yang Liu, Guangqian Zhu, Yongyuan Li, Zhangming Zhu

Abstract:

This article presents a rectifierless synchronous inversion and optimal charge extraction (SIOCE) interface with single-stage maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for intermittent vibrations, which are common in real-world applications. Unlike conventional rectifiers that suffer from standby power consumption or rely on inefficient multi-stage conversion, the proposed SIOCE interface circuit decouples …

Author(s): Quanrong Zhuang, Junyi Sun, Bo Li, Jie Lu, Zixu Wang, Qi’an Zhu, Xin Zhang, Yi Shi, Hao Qiu

Abstract:

Targeting the wireless power transfer (WPT) to implantable medical devices (IMDs), this work presents a 6.78 MHz single-stage dual-output (SSDO) regulating rectifier. It can support the simultaneous charging of both outputs ( $V_{\text {OUT1}}$ and $V_{\text {OUT2}}$ , $V_{\text {OUT1}} \gt V_{\text {OUT2}}$ ) in a half cycle, rather than …

A High-Efficiency Magnetoelectric Power Link With a Load-Adaptive CMOS Rectifier for Miniaturized Implants

A High-Efficiency Magnetoelectric Power Link With a Load-Adaptive CMOS Rectifier for Miniaturized Implants 150 150
Author(s): Yasemin Engür, Mingxiang Gao, Niels Kuster, Mahsa Shoaran

Abstract:

Miniaturized biomedical implants are currently constrained by limited wireless power transfer (WPT) efficiency under load variation and spatial misalignment. This work presents a custom magnetoelectric (ME) power link incorporating a load-adaptive CMOS rectifier to address these challenges. By employing a current sensing control loop for dynamic switch sizing and delay …

A 40.68-MHz Dual-Output Wireless Power Transfer System for Millimeter-Scale Biomedical Implants

A 40.68-MHz Dual-Output Wireless Power Transfer System for Millimeter-Scale Biomedical Implants 150 150
Author(s): Tianqi Lu, Sijun Du

Abstract:

This article presents a single-link, dual-output wireless power transfer (WPT) system operating at 40.68 MHz for miniature, high-power biomedical implants. The elevated carrier frequency enables a millimeter-scale receiver (RX) coil while maintaining link efficiency and output power comparable to low-frequency WPT designs. End-to-end (E2E) efficiency is optimized through global power …
