Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method, device and/or system for generating arbitrary waveforms of a desired shape that can be used for generating a stimulation pulse for medical purposes such as for spinal cord stimulation therapy, where such arbitrary waveforms can also be used for charge balancing purposes.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for balancing charges provided by an implantable medical device for providing stimulation to a patient, said method comprising the steps of: providing an electrode near a stimulation region of the patient; providing a waveform generating circuit connected to the electrode; the waveform generating circuit generating a first active portion of a stimulation waveform for stimulating the stimulation region using the electrode, said first active porti…
