摘要： Medical devices include stimulation and/or sensing circuitry that is interconnected to electrical components by a flexible circuit body having exposed portions of circuit traces that are attached to electrical contacts of the electrical components. Each circuit trace may span a separate window formed in an insulative body of the flexible circuit body, or a plurality of circuit traces may span a single window or may be freely extending from the insulative body. The exposed portion of the circuit trace may be plated with a conductive metal and then attached to the electrical contact of the electrical component. The flexible circuit body may be an extension from a flexible electrical circuit board containing the circuit. The circuit may be present on a circuit board that includes electrical contacts and where the flexible circuit body has exposed portions of circuit traces attached to the electrical contacts of the circuit board.

摘要： Apparatus and method according to the disclosure relate to a mechanically and electrically coupling a plurality of electrodes to major opposing surface portions of an implantable medical device (IMD). The surface portions can comprise major opposing surfaces of a connector module of the IMD and/or substantially planar metallic surfaces of the IMD. The electrodes provide a subcutaneous cardiac activity sensing device via the plurality of electrodes which can be used in conjunction with one or more electrodes disposed in an insulative shroud coupled to the peripheral, minor surfaces of the IMD.

摘要： The present invention provides for state correction. A first value in a state circuit is received from a flip flop. The received value is transmitted to a second flip flop. The received value within the second flip flop is altered if an error condition arises. The received value is transmitted to a third flip flop. In one aspect, the received value transmitted to the third flip flop comprises an unaltered received value. In another aspect, the received value transmitted to the third flip flop comprises transmitting an altered received value. This allows for an incorrect state within the state machine to change to a correct state after a few clock pulses.

摘要： Apparatus and method according to the disclosure relate to minimizing gaps between a substantially planar cardiac-sensing electrode and a shroud member utilizing a so-called interference-fit. For example, a relatively recessed area or aperture formed in an exemplary resin-based shroud member has slightly reduced dimensions relative to the electrode and requires compression forces during assembly (e.g., manually or in an automated process including a press, a tool or other means). The interference-fit promotes a very tight fit (or seal) between the metallic electrode and the resin-based shroud member and, importantly, minimizes gaps. Additionally, discrete interference structures promote fluid tight seals between the electrode and a recess or aperture adapted to receive the electrode.

摘要： A method and a reference circuit for bias current switching are provided for implementing an integrated temperature sensor. A first bias current is generated and constantly applied to a thermal sensing diode. A second bias current is provided to the thermal sensing diode by selectively switching a multiplied current from a current multiplier to the thermal sensing diode or to a load diode. The reference circuit includes a reference current source coupled to current mirror. The current mirror provides a first bias current to a thermal sensing diode. The current mirror is coupled to a current multiplier that provides a multiplied current. A second bias current to the thermal sensing diode includes the first bias current and the multiplied current from the current multiplier. The second bias current to the thermal sensing diode is provided by selectively switching the multiplied current between the thermal sensing diode and a dummy load diode.
