Abstract: According to one configuration, a controller controls use of multiple medical devices at a medical site. For example, a first medical device at the medical site is operable to perform one or more tissue ablation operations; a second medical device at the medical site is operable to perform non-ablation operations (such as tissue monitoring operations). The controller implements a control sequence to control switching between different operational modes including a first mode and a second mode. The first mode and corresponding first windows of time enable the first medical device to perform an ablation operation; the second mode and corresponding windows of time disable the first medical device from performing the ablation operation so that the second medical device operates without interference from the first medical device performing the ablation operation.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods calibrate one or more gain ranges for errors. A system can identify offset error and amplification error that occurs when the system transitions from amplifying an input signal by a first gain factor to amplifying the input signal by a second gain factor. To identify the amplification error, the system can compare the slope of the data signal in a source or reference gain range with the slope of the data signal in the destination gain range. To identify the offset error, the system can compare the amplitude of the data signal in a destination gain range with an expected value in the destination gain range.

Abstract: A self-adaptive SAR ADC techniques that can increase speed and/or decrease its power consumption. In some example approaches, one or more bits from a conversion of a previous sample of an analog input signal can be preloaded onto a DAC circuit of the ADC. If the preloaded bits are determined to be acceptable, bit trials on the current sample can be performed to determine the remaining bits. If not acceptable, the ADC can discard the preloaded bits and perform bit trials on all of the bits. The self-adaptive SAR ADC can include a control loop to adjust, e.g., increase or decrease, the number of bits that are preloaded in a subsequent bit trial using historical data.

Abstract: A method of performing analog-to-digital conversion using a successive approximation (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). A previous digital output is compared to a range based on the first M bits of the previous digital output. If the previous digital output is within that range, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) of the SAR ADC is preloaded with the first M bits of the previous digital output, prior to commencing bit trials. If the previous digital output is outside of that range, an offset is applied to the first M bits of the previous digital output and the DAC is preloaded based on the M bits and the offset, prior to performing bit trials. This method reduces the possibility of the next input being outside of a further range defined by the preload.
