Abstract: Embodiments presented herein are generally directed to inductive charging techniques in an implantable medical device system comprising an inductive charger and an external component. The external component includes a rechargeable battery and an inductive coil that is configured to form an inductive charging link with a charging coil in the inductive charger to receive power signals from the inductive charger. A voltage increasing converter in the external component is configured to step-up a voltage of the power signals received from the inductive charger for use in recharging the rechargeable battery.

Abstract: An inductance communication coil, including a conductor having at least one conductive turn, wherein a width of the conductor is wider at a first location relative to that at a second location. The conductor can be made out of metal. In some embodiments, the first location and the second location are on the same turn. In some embodiments, the conductor includes a plurality of turns, wherein the first location is at a first turn and the second location is at a second turn.
