Claim 17:
18. The surgical instrument of claim 16, wherein the electrical circuit further includes at least one of a band-pass-filter (BPF), a voltage-controlled-current-source (VCCS) circuit, or an operational amplifier, wherein the electrical circuit is configured to perform an action selected from the group consisting of:
(a) pass a synthesized waveform through the BPF prior to delivery of the electrical signal to the first electrode;
(b) transform, using the VCCS circuit, the electrical signal into a current limited signal; and
(c) buffer and amplify, using the operational amplifier, the electrical signal prior to the electrical signal returning to the microcontroller from the second electrode.
