ABSTRACT:
An analog data transmission circuit for a biomedical implant employs a linear amplifier to modulate the impedance of a resonant circuit tuned to an externally generated constant carrier frequency. The resonant circuit comprises a tuned coil in circuit with a linear modulating switch and a digital modulating switch. The digital switch is gated by the digital data output from digital control circuitry within the implant. The linear amplifier output drives the linear modulation switch. The switches are preferably matched pairs of MOSFET's of opposite polarity having complementary parasitic diodes which form a phantom diode bridge. The bridge acts as a full wave rectifier and boosts the bias voltage on the sources of the FET pair forming the linear modulation switch such that the radiated amplitude is independent of the distance of the programming head. A timed power-up circuit supplies power to the amplifier and starts a square wave calibration period in response to the approach of the programming head. For ICEG transmission, a charge dump circuit depolarizes the lead before it is coupled to the amplifier.
