Claim Text:
1. An active implantable medical device (AIMD) for use with a medical lead carrying at least one lead electrode, comprising: interior electronic circuitry configured for performing a medical function via the medical lead; an electrically conductive case containing the interior electronic circuitry; at least one electrical terminal configured for electrically coupling the interior electronic circuitry respectively to the least one lead electrode; an inductive element disposed within the case and coupled in series between the at least one electrical terminal and the case, the inductive element being configured for hindering the shunting of electrical current from the at least one electrical terminal to the case that has been induced by electromagnetic interference (EMI) impinging on the medical lead; a plurality of DC blocking capacitors, wherein one of the DC blocking capacitors is coupled in series between each of the at least one electrical terminal and the interior electronic circuitry and one of the DC blocking capacitors is coupled in series between the case and the interior electronic circuitry; at least one capacitive element electrically coupled in series between each of the at least one electrical terminal and a common terminal: and another capacitive element electrically coupled in series between the case and the common terminal.
