Abstract
Presented herein are techniques that provide an external component of an implantable medical device system with the ability to use a single inductive coil assembly to both receive charging signals from an inductive charger and for bi-directional transcutaneous communication with an implantable component. In particular, an external component comprises a coil assembly comprising a first coil segment and a second coil segment. The first and second coil segments have a first electrically connected arrangement that is used to receive charging signals, and a second electrically connected arrangement that is used for the bi-directional transcutaneous communication.
