This paper aims to review the recent architectures of power management units for ultrasound-based energy harvesting, while focusing on battery-less implantable medical devices. In such systems, energy sustainability is based on piezoelectric devices and a power management circuit, which represents a key building block since it maximizes the power extracted from the piezoelectric devices and delivers it to the other building blocks of the implanted device. Since the power budget is strongly constrained by the dimension of the piezoelectric energy harvester, complexity of topologies have been increased bit by bit in order to achieve improved power efficiency also in difficult operative conditions. With this in mind, the introduced work consists of a comprehensive presentation of the main blocks of a generic power management unit for ultrasound-based energy harvesting and its operative principles, a review of the prior art and a comparative study of the performance achieved by the considered solutions. Finally, design guidelines are provided, allowing the designer to choose the best topology according to the given design specifications and technology adopted.

Implantable medical devices provide therapy to treat numerous health conditions as well as monitoring and diagnosis. Over the years, the development of these devices has seen remarkable progress thanks to tremendous advances in microelectronics, electrode technology, packaging and signal processing techniques. Many of today’s implantable devices use wireless technology to supply power and provide communication. There are many challenges when creating an implantable device. Issues such as reliable and fast bidirectional data communication, efficient power delivery to the implantable circuits, low noise and low power for the recording part of the system, and delivery of safe stimulation to avoid tissue and electrode damage are some of the challenges faced by the microelectronics circuit designer. This paper provides a review of advances in microelectronics over the last decade or so for implantable medical devices and systems. The focus is on neural recording and stimulation circuits suitable for fabrication in modern silicon process technologies and biotelemetry methods for power and data transfer, with particular emphasis on methods employing radio frequency inductive coupling. The paper concludes by highlighting some of the issues that will drive future research in the field.
