Patent CA-2850033-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FELDMAN EMANUEL
IPC: A61N1/378
Filed: 2012-09-27
Abstract: Improved communication and charging circuitry for an implantable medical device is described having a single coil for receiving charging energy and for data telemetry. The circuitry removes from the AC side of the circuit a tuning capacitor and switch traditionally used to tune the tank circuitry to different frequencies for telemetry and charging. As such, the tank circuitry is simplified and contains no switchable components that can be difficult to implement. A switch is serially connected to the storage capacitor on the DC side of the circuit, which essentially takes the place of the switch of the prior art by tuning the circuit for telemetry or charging. During telemetry, the switch is opened, thus disconnecting the storage capacitor from the tank circuit, and alleviating concerns that this capacitor will couple to the tank circuit and interfere with telemetry operations. During charging, the switch is closed, which allows the storage capacitor to couple to the tank circuitry through the rectifier during some portions of the tank circuitry's resonance.
