Abstract:
1. An implantable medical device delivering a therapy, the therapy being dynamically variable among a plurality of discrete output voltages, comprising: a power source having an output; a first electrode and a second electrode; a therapy module, operatively coupled to the power source, the first electrode and the second electrode, comprising a dynamically configurable capacitor arrangement providing a plurality of lines, each of the plurality of lines having one of the plurality of discrete output voltages; wherein the dynamically configurable capacitor arrangement comprises a plurality of capacitors configured with: a controller, operatively coupled to the therapy module, selectively coupling at least one of the plurality of lines to at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode to dynamically provide an individual one of the plurality of discrete output voltages across the first electrode and the second electrode.
