摘要:
A medical implant comprising a power source configured to generate a direct current (DC) signal, a first interface configured to convert the DC signal to an alternating current (AC) signal; and a DC power storage device. The implant also comprises a second interface configured to convert the AC signal received from the first interface via two interface connection lines to a DC signal, and configured to provide the DC signal to the power storage device via two storage connection lines, and wherein the second interface includes: at least one switch disposed between the two module connection lines and the two storage connection lines; and at least one switch controller configured to control the at least one switch to prevent the power storage device from being electrically connected to an opposite polarity of the power source.
