    Abstract: Devices, systems, and techniques for monitoring the temperature of a device used to charge a rechargeable power source are disclosed. Implantable medical devices may include a rechargeable power source that can be transcutaneously charged. The temperature of an external charging device and/or an implantable medical device may be monitored to control the temperature exposure to patient tissue. In one example, a temperature sensor may sense a temperature of a portion of a device, wherein the portion is non-thermally coupled to the temperature sensor. A processor may then control charging of the rechargeable power source based on the sensed temperature.

    Abstract: In some examples, one or more processors determine characteristics of frequency components of a sensed bioelectrical signal. In response to determining the characteristics, the one or more processors determine therapy parameters for frequency components of a stimulation signal. The one or more processors may determine the therapy parameters based on the characteristics of the frequency components of the sensed bioelectrical signal. As another example, the one or more processors may determine the therapy parameters based on received information after the characteristics of the frequency components of the sensed bioelectrical signal are displayed to a user.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for controlling spectral aggressors in a sensing device that uses a low power sleep mode to manage the power consumed by the device. In some examples, the techniques for controlling spectral aggressors may include configuring one or more of an algorithm processing rate for a processor, a buffering rate for the processor, a sampling rate for an analog-to-digital converter, an execution unit processing rate for the processor, and an algorithm subdivision factor for the processor such that spectral interference caused by a sleep cycle rate of the processor occurs outside of one or more target frequency bands of a sampled signal. The techniques of this disclosure may be used to reduce noise in a sensing system that uses a low power sleep mode to manage the power consumed by the device.

    Abstract: Devices and methods provide for the sensing of physiological signals during stimulation therapy by preventing stimulation waveform artifacts from being passed through to the amplification of the sensed physiological signal. Thus, the amplifiers are not adversely affected by the stimulation waveform and can provide for successful sensing of physiological signals between stimulation waveform pulses. A blanking switch may be used to blank the stimulation waveform artifacts where the blanking switch is operated in a manner synchronized with the stimulation waveform so that conduction in the sensing path is blocked during the stimulation pulse as well as during other troublesome artifacts such as a peak of a recharge pulse. A limiter may be used to limit the amplitude of the sensed signal, and hence the stimulation artifacts, that are passed to the amplifier without any synchronization of the limiter to the stimulation waveform.
