Abstract:
A system is provided for driving an implantable neurostimulator lead, the lead having an associated plurality of electrodes disposed in at least one array on the lead. The system comprises an implantable pulse generator (IPG), the IPG including an electrode driver, a load system for determining load requirements, an IPG power coupler, and an IPG communication system. The system also includes an external unit, which includes an external variable power generator, an external power coupler, an external communication system, and a controller for varying the power level of the variable power generator.

Claim (Index 9):
A system for driving a plurality of implantable neurostimulator leads, each lead having an associated plurality of electrodes disposed in at least one array on the lead, the system comprising:\n at least two implantable pulse generators (IPGs), each IPG including:\n an electrode driver for driving the electrodes associated with the IPG, \n a load system for determining load requirements of the IPG, \n an IPG power coupler for receiving power across a dermis layer for interface of the power with the electrode driver of the IPG, and \n an IPG communication system for transmitting the load determined requirement of the IPG across the dermis layer; and \n an external unit including:\n an external variable power generator, \n an external power coupler for coupling power across the dermis layer to the IPG power couplers, \n an external communication system for receiving from the IPG communication systems the respective determined load requirements, and \n a controller for varying the power level of the variable power generator as a function of the received determined load requirements of the IPG with the greatest load requirement.
