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.
