The power management unit is developed to power the processor and analog parts of an implant. It provides multiple stable output supplies ranging from 1.1V to 3.3V using capacitive DCDC converters and low noise LDOs. The PMU can be powered by a single Zn-Air, Li-Ion or any battery in between. It provides high efficiencies comparable to inductive systems while having a smaller footprint.
