    摘要: Disclosed are systems and methods which provide voltage conversion in increments less than integer multiples of a power supply (e.g., battery) voltage (VB). A representative embodiment provides power supply voltage multipliers (100) in a binary ladder distribution to provide a desired number of output voltage steps using a relatively uncomplicated circuit design. By using different sources in various combinations and/or by "stacking" different sources in various ways, the voltage multiplier circuit (100) may be used to provide desired voltages (V TARG ). In order to minimize the number of components used in a voltage converter (100) of an embodiment, a capacitive voltage converter circuit (110) uses one or more storage capacitors (CS1,CS2,CS3) in place of pump capacitors (CP1,CP2,CP3) in a voltage generation cycle. Also, certain embodiments do not operate to generate an output voltage (V TARG ) until the time that voltage is needed.

    摘要: A device and method for generating electrical stimulation. The implantable device includes a programmable switching device or array that receives at least one pulse generator output coupled through at least one coupling capacitor. The switching device selectively connects at least one pulse generator output to a plurality of electrode terminals via at least one coupling capacitor, wherein the number of electrode terminals is greater than the number of pulse generator outputs. Electrical stimulation signals may be applied directly from the electrode terminals, or are applied through a lead or lead extension having corresponding electrodes electrically connected to the electrode terminals.

    摘要: An electrical stimulation system (10) is provided for electrically stimulating target nerve tissue in a person's brain using a stimulation lead (14) having a tip electrode (18a), having at least five electrodes (18), or both. The system (10) includes a stimulation lead (14) adapted for implantation into the brain for electrical stimulation of target nerve tissue in the brain. The stimulation lead (14) may include a tip electrode (18a) located at a distal tip (19) of the stimulation lead (14) and adapted to be positioned proximate the target nerve tissue in the brain and to deliver electrical stimulation pulses to the target nerve tissue in the brain. The stimulation lead (14) may include at least five electrodes (18), one or more of which are adapted to be positioned proximate the target nerve tissue in the brain and to deliver electrical stimulation pulses to the target nerve tissue in the brain. The system (10) also includes a stimulation source (12) operable to generate the electrical stimulation pulses for transmission to the one or more electrodes (18), possibly including a tip electrode (18a), of the stimulation lead (14) to cause the one or more electrodes (18) to deliver the electrical stimulation pulses to the target nerve tissue in the brain.
