Abstract
An implantable device capable of controlling received power from an external source. The implantable device includes a power receiving unit (PRU) and a control circuit which monitors the voltage across a load and provides a short circuit connection across the PRU when the voltage across the load exceeds a predetermined value.
Claims11
An implantable device capable of controlling received power from an external source comprising:
- a power receiving unit (PRU) adapted to receive power from an external power source by means of magnetic coupling to said external power source;
- a load circuit coupled to the PRU and configured to receive power therefrom;
- and
- a switch circuit interconnected between the PRU and the load circuit, the switch adapted to interrupt the transfer of power from the PRU to the load circuit as a function of a load circuit parameter.
