Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A leadless cardiac pacemaker comprises a hermetic housing, a power source disposed in the housing, at least two electrodes supported by the housing, a semiconductor temperature sensor disposed in the housing, and a controller disposed in the housing and configured to deliver energy from the power source to the electrodes to stimulate the heart based upon temperature information from the temperature sensor. In some embodiments, the sensor can be configured to sense temperature information within a predetermined range of less than 20 degrees C. The temperature sensor can be disposed in the housing but not bonded to the housing.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A leadless cardiac pacemaker comprising: a hermetic housing configured to be implanted in a chamber of a human heart; a power source disposed in the housing; at least two electrodes supported by the housing; a semiconductor temperature sensor disposed in the housing, comprising: at least one bipolar transistor configured to receive current from the power supply and based thereon generate base-emitter voltages that are used to derive a complimentary-t…
