ABSTRACT:
A pulse delivery control signal is applied to and removed from a master or pulse delivery electronic switch to respectively start and terminate the delivery of a trapezoidal waveform defibrillation pulse from charge storage capacitors to a patient. In one specific embodiment, a transfer charge storage circuit is coupled to a capacitor charging circuit for charging as the charge storage capacitors are charged. A transfer switch interconnects the transfer charge storage circuit to a first field-effect transistor switch. In response to a transfer signal, a transfer voltage signal is delivered from the transfer charge storage circuit, through the transfer switch and to the first field-effect transistor. In response, the first field-signal transistor applied the pulse delivery control signal to the master switch. A second field-effect transistor may be included for operating the master switch together with the first field-effect transistor. Voltage detection and energy selection circuits may be employed for detecting when the charge storage capacitors in the circuit are charged to a desired level and for establishing the level to which the capacitors are charged to thereby control the energy delivered by the defibrillation pulses.
