An ultra-compact and efficient Li-ion battery charger circuit for biomedical applications

This paper describes an ultra-compact analog lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery charger for wirelessly powered implantable medical devices. The charger presented here takes advantage of the tanh output current profile of an operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) to smoothly transition between consta...
