Background:

Three-coil inductive power transfer is standard for powering neural implants.
Existing methods face limitations in delivered power due to efficiency and safety constraints.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a frequency-switching inductive link to overcome power limitations in neural implant systems.
To enhance wireless power transfer for large-scale neural interfaces.

Main Methods:

Replaced the passive resonator in a three-coil link with an active resonator.
Utilized a two-coil link at 13.56 MHz for initial power reception.
Switched frequency to 433.92 MHz for power transmission to 1024 implants via a three-coil link with 37 focusing resonators.

Main Results:

Achieved a power transfer efficiency of 0.013%.
Delivered a maximum power of 1970 μW to the load within safety limits.
Demonstrated improvements of two orders of magnitude in efficiency and over six decades in power delivery compared to passive links.

Conclusions:

The frequency-switching inductive system offers a scalable and versatile solution for wireless neural interfaces.
This technology significantly advances the capabilities for powering miniaturized and large-scale neural implants.
