Apparatus and methods facilitating power regulation for an implantable device

摘要

Apparatus and methods configured to perform power regulation for an implantable device are presented. In an aspect, an implantable device can include a substrate that forms at least part of a body of the implantable device and a circuit disposed on or within the substrate. The circuit can include a high load power regulator configured to provide a first current level to components of the implantable device and a low load power regulator configured to provide a second current level to components of the implantable device, wherein the second current level is lower that the first current level. The circuit can also include a regulator switch configured to enable or disable current draw from the high load power regulator and the low load power regulator as a function of power state and associated power requirement of the components of the implantable device.

1. An implantable device, comprising:
a substrate that forms at least part of a body of the implantable device; and a circuit disposed on or within the substrate and comprising:
a high load power regulator configured to provide a first current level to one or more components of the implantable device;a low load power regulator configured to provide a second current level to the one or more components of the implantable device, wherein the second current level is lower that the first current level; anda regulator switch configured to simultaneously enable or disable current draw from the high load power regulator and the low load power regulator as a function of power state and associated power requirement of the one or more or more components of the implantable device, such that the first current level can be provided to at least a first of the one or more components while simultaneously providing the second current level to at least a second of the one or more components.
