Title: Battery protection and zero-volt battery recovery system for an implantable medical device
Inventor: HE YUPING
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 2006-10-19
Abstract: The present invention relates to a circuitry useable to protect and reliably charge a rechargeable battery, even from a zero-volt state, and is particularly useful when employed in an implantable medical device. The circuit includes two charging paths, a first path for trickle charging the battery at a relatively low current when the battery voltage is below a threshold, and a second path for charging the battery at relatively higher currents that the battery voltage is above a certain threshold. A passive diode is used in the first trickle-charging path which allows trickle charging even when the battery voltage is too low for reliable gating, while a gateable switch (preferably by PMOS transistor) is used in the second higher-current charging path when the voltage is higher and the switch can therefore be gated more reliably. A second diode between the two paths ensures no leakage to the substrate through the gateable switch during trickle charging. The load couples to the battery through the switch, and preferably through a second switch speicifically used for decoupling the load.
