A wireless CMOS implantable receiver for neuromuscular microstimulators

Describes an integrated CMOS power supply and demodulator for electromagnetic coupling dedicated for biotelemetry applications. The device receives a 40-MHz carrier RF signal carrying digital information. This signal is rectified and regulated to 5V-DC voltage. Digital information is extracted from the rectified signal. This circuit is completely integrated in CMOS 1.2-/spl mu/m technology except for one diode.
