Abstract

A regulator is provided for receiving electrical power from an external alternating magnetic field and developing a regulated output voltage. The regulator is operatively coupled to a resonant inductive circuit for obtaining input power. It includes a circuit for regulating output power by shunting input power and providing separate current paths for shunt current and output current. The circuit includes a rectifier in the output current path. The regulator is integrated on a single VLSI chip.
