Abstract
An apparatus includes implantable first circuitry configured to wirelessly receive power from a device external to the recipient's body, implantable second circuitry configured to provide stimulation signals to a portion of the recipient's body, and implantable third circuitry, at least a portion of the first circuitry and at least a portion of the third circuitry forming a series resonant tank circuit configured to capacitively couple the second circuitry to the first circuitry while galvanically isolating the second circuitry from the first circuitry, such that at least a portion of the electric power is transferred from the first circuitry to the second circuitry through the third circuitry whilst preventing stimulation currents.
