Abstract
Implantable medical devices have become an essential technology for the treatment and monitoring of a wide range of medical conditions, including cardiac disorders, neurological diseases, and sensory impairments. Traditionally, these devices rely on implanted batteries, whose limited lifetimes often require periodic surgical replacements. Such procedures increase healthcare costs and expose patients to additional risks, including infection and surgical complications. Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) offers a promising alternative by enabling transcutaneous energy delivery, extending battery lifetime or, in some applications, eliminating the need for an implanted battery.  This thesis presents the design and development of two receivers intended to be used in an Inductive WPT system. The two receivers were designed around the power requirements of the Intan Technologies RHS2116 neural interface chip, which performs neural recording and electrical stimulation.
The proposed architectures provide the supply rails required by the target applications: ±3.3 V in one configuration and +3.3 V together with ±7 V in the other
