Abstract:
A neurostimulation system and method of providing therapy to a patient implanted with a plurality of electrodes using a plurality of electrical sources is provided. A source-electrode coupling configuration is determined from the electrical sources and electrodes. Electrical current is respectively conveyed between active ones of the plurality of electrical sources and active subsets of the plurality of electrodes in accordance with the determined source-electrode coupling configuration. The total number of the electrodes in the active electrode subsets is greater than the total number of the active electrical sources.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of providing neurostimulation to a patient using a system that includes implantable electrical sources, implantable electrodes, processing circuitry and control circuitry, the method comprising:\n determine, using the processing circuitry, an electrical connection to electrically connect each of a number of active ones of the electrical sources to at least one of a number of active ones of the electrodes, wherein:\n each of the electrical sources is configurable to sink or source current, and \n each of the electrical sources includes:\n digital-to-analog circuitry (DAC) to deliver current determined in accordance with input bits, and \n a source/sink pair, the source/sink pair including an anodic current source, a cathodic current source, and a common node connected to an output of the anodic current source and connected to an output of the cathodic current source; and \n \n deliver, using the control circuitry, the neurostimulation to the patient including simultaneously using the number of active ones of the plurality of electrical sources and the number of active ones of the plurality of electrodes to provide electrical current for the delivered neurostimulation, \n wherein the number of active ones of the plurality of electrodes is greater than the number of active ones of the electrical sources.
