    Abstract: A driveline and driveline system for an active implantable device provides for communication over the power conductors in the driveline. The driveline includes four conductors, two for the positive power connection and two for the negative power connection. Communication in the driveline is performed using Power Line Communication (PLC) technology on the four conductors, superimposing a communication signal on the conductors such that the four conductors provide both power and communication capability. The four conductors provide redundant paths for both power and communication, so the failure of one of the conductors in the driveline does not affect operation of the driveline. The four conductor driveline cable and system provides a more robust driveline cable that does not fail with the failure of one of the conductors without increasing the diameter of the driveline, which would increase the risk of infection where the driveline passes through the skin.
