Abstract

An implantable neuromodulation system (30) including an electrode array assembly (32) and an implantable pulse generator (34). Signals are wirelessly translated from the implantable pulse generator to the electrode array assembly. A power extractor and supply circuit integral with the electrode array assembly extracts the power from the signals. Instructions contained in the signals are executed by a switch circuit (156) also part of the electrode array assembly for selectively flowing current between selected ones of the electrodes (124) that are part of the assembly.
