Abstract
- As a part of implantable device in body, a transcutaneous energy transmission system has been developed. It would be desirable to tansfer electrical energy to implantable devices transcutaneously. The distance between transcutaneous transformer windings are approximately equal to the thickness of the human's skin, nominally between 10~20 mm. Class-E resonant amplifier is used to drive a primary coil for high efficiency. Maximum current is above 50 mA at any frequency. The developed system shows that the circuit operates correctly at each frequency; 500 kHz, 1 MHz and 4 MHz.
