Implantable Medical Device With Low Power Delta-Sigma Analog-To-Digital Converter

View page
US Patent:
7623053, Nov 24, 2009
Filed:
Sep 26, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/861920
Inventors:
Michael B. Terry - Camas WA, US
Michael W. Heinks - New Brighton MN, US
Joel A. Anderson - Brooklyn Park MN, US
Mark A. Frigaard - New Brighton MN, US
Assignee:
Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
H03M 1/66
US Classification:
341143, 341155
Abstract:
In general, this disclosure describes techniques for reducing power consumption within an implantable medical device (IMD). An IMD implanted within a patient may have finite power resources that are intended to last several years. To promote device longevity, sensing and therapy circuits of the IMD are designed to incorporate an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that provides relatively high resolution output at a relatively low operation frequency, and does so with relatively low power consumption. An ADC designed in accordance with the techniques described herein utilizes a quantizer that has a lower resolution than a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) used for negative feedback. Such a configuration provides the benefits of higher resolution DAC feedback without having the use high oversampling ratios that result in high power consumption. Also, the techniques avoid the use of, and the associated high power consumption of, a high resolution flash ADC, within the sigma delta loop.

Implantable Medical Device With Adjustable Sigma-Delta Analog-To-Digital Conversion Clock Rate

US Patent:
20080079617, Apr 3, 2008
Filed:
Sep 29, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/536942
Inventors:
Mark A. Frigaard - New Brighton MN, US
Michael W. Heinks - New Brighton MN, US
Joel A. Anderson - Brooklyn Park MN, US
Robert H. Mehregan - East Bethel MN, US
International Classification:
H03M 1/66
US Classification:
341144
Abstract:
An implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator, uses digital signal processing channels to process sensed time varying signals representing cardiac activity. Each digital signal processing channels includes a sigma-Delta analog-to-digital converter. The clock rate of each sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter is controlled as a function of a signal detection threshold for its respective digital signal processing channel. For higher threshold levels, a reduced clock rate for the sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter results in reduced power consumption and longer battery life.
