Seminar Title: Harvesting Energy and Wireless Data Exchange with Implantable Medical Devices
Abstract :Emergin smart implantable and remotely controllable devices for diagnostic and recovery of neural vital functions are promising alternative to study neural activities underlying cognitive functions and pathologies. These devices require safe source of energy and robust communication interfaces. This seminar covers architectures intended for wireless neurorecording and neurostimulation using advanced bioelectronic building blocks. We focus on harvesting energy and wireless data links needed to operate these implantable biosystems. First, we will introduce power sources and energy transfer using transcutaneous inductive powering, wearable systems, rechargeable batteries, RF circuits and Radio signals. Then, energy collection includes single and multiple electromagnetic inductive links using custom integrated solutions, their conditioning and calibration techniques, and automatic tuning of transmitted energy level will be described. Among the important building blocks active rectifiers, low-dropout voltage regulator, multi-link electromagnetic interfaces, and power efficiency data recovery modules. Regarding up- and down-link data transmission interfaces, several modulations and demodulations techniques. Then, we will describe a new dual low-power transmission FSK-OOK technique dedicated to establish fast but low-power communications with medical implants operating at Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency band. Special attention will be paid to multidimensional implementation challenges such as power management, low-power consumption circuits, high-data rate communication modules, small-size, low-weight and reliable devices.
