Abstract: The invention is a distributed implantable neuro-stimulation system, comprising an implant controller including control logic to transmit two time-varying power signals, varying between two levels and out of phase with the other, and a command signal modulated onto at least one of the power signals. One or more electrode cells, each having control logic to extract charge from the power signals and recover commands from the command signal. A two-wire bus interconnecting the implant controller and all the electrode cells, to carry one of the time varying signals in each of the two wires, and to carry the command signal.

Abstract: A distributed implantable neurostimulation system. One or more electrode arrays each have at least one electrode configured to be positioned at a desired implant location within the body. An implantable control unit is configured to selectively direct stimulus and/or telemetry instructions and power to each electrode of each array. A shared bus extends to each of the plurality of electrode arrays, the bus interconnecting each array with the implantable control unit. There is at least one electrode cell associated with each electrode array. The electrode cell obtains electrical power and command signals from the shared bus, and controls operation of each electrode associated with that electrode cell. The bus is connected to the control unit and/or the electrode cell by docking contacts of the bus to form electrical contact with contacts of the control unit and/or electrode cell.
