Abstract

This paper describes a high-rate frequency shift keying (FSK) data transfer protocol and demodulator circuit for wireless operated biomedical implants in need of data transfer rates above 1 Mbit/sec. The demodulator circuit receives the serial data bit stream from an FSK carrier signal in the 2∼20 MHz range, which is used to power the implant through inductive coupling. The circuitry has been designed and fabricated in the University of Michigan´s single metal, dual-poly 3 μm CMOS process and has been tested fully functional.
