ABSTRACT:
A cardiac pacer uses switched capacitor circuits for maintaining isolation between an atrial channel subsystem and a ventricular channel subsystem. Cross-talk between the channels is prevented by the switched capacitor circuits which may include two sampling switches, a sampling capacitor, two transfer switches, and a filter. The switched capacitor circuits are disposed in series between the corresponding channel lead and the corresponding sensing circuit for that channel. An arrangement of switches and a corresponding controlling arrangement are used to change the mode of sensing and pacing of each channel independent of the mode used by the other channel. That is, each channel subsystem is independently operable for bipolar sensing, bipolar pacing, unipolar sensing, and unipolar pacing.
