Abstract
Some embodiments relate to a device for generating stimulation signals, comprising: a stimulation delivery circuit; a first component to monitor charge delivered in at least one charge pulse via the stimulation delivery circuit; and a second component to ensure delivered charge substantially corresponds to charge of a charge pulse intended to be delivered by the stimulation delivery circuit. In some embodiments, the device may further comprise a charge setting circuit responsive to a charge pulse setting signal, such as a constant current of fixed pulse width, to set the charge of the charge pulse intended to be delivered.
Claims25
A device for generating stimulation signals, comprising:
- a stimulation delivery circuit;
- a first component to monitor charge delivered in at least one charge pulse via the stimulation delivery circuit;
- and
- a second component to ensure delivered charge substantially corresponds to charge of a charge pulse intended to be delivered by the stimulation delivery circuit.
A device for generating stimulation signals, comprising:
- a stimulation delivery circuit;
- a monitoring component to monitor charge delivered in at least one charge pulse via the stimulation delivery circuit;
- and
- a feedback component to provide a feedback signal so that delivered charge substantially corresponds to charge of a charge pulse intended to be delivered by the stimulation delivery circuit.
Control circuitry to control delivery of stimulation signals to a stimulus site, comprising:
- monitoring circuitry to monitor charge delivered in at least one charge pulse to an output coupled for delivery of the charge to the stimulus site;
- and
- compliance circuitry cooperating with the monitoring circuitry to ensure delivery of charge intended to be delivered in a charge pulse based on the monitored delivered charge.
