    Abstract: A method for correcting long-term phase drift of a crystal oscillator in a numerically-controlled oscillator is described. The method includes determining the phase error in an oscillator signal in comparison with an external time base; delta-sigma modulating the phase error to generate a delta-sigma error bitstream; conditionally adding or subtracting an error correction step size from a phase increment value in each clock cycle based on the delta-sigma error bitstream, to create a modulated phase increment value; and adding the modulated phase increment value to a phase accumulator to generate an error-corrected output digital signal. The delta-sigma-based error correction method avoids the use of multipliers. The same delta-sigma error signal can be used in multiple numerically-controlled oscillators configured to different output frequency if driven by the same reference oscillator.

    Abstract: Oscillator regulation circuitry is provided for regulating a frequency of an output signal generated by an oscillator. Oscillator regulation circuitry has frequency sensing circuitry for sensing the frequency of the output signal and generating a first signal depending on the frequency, and control circuitry which generates the oscillator control signal based on the comparison between the first signal and a non-oscillating reference signal. The frequency sensing circuitry includes at least one switched capacitor. This approach provides improved noise reduction, less sensitivity to process, temperature and voltage variations, and a more linear scaling of the frequency with the reference signal, compared to previous techniques.

    Abstract: A clock signal generation circuit configured to generate the clock signal having a frequency that is maintained across variations in a number of operating conditions, such as changes in supply voltage, temperature and processing time. In an embodiment, the frequency spread of the generated clock signal of a PVT-compensated CMOS ring oscillator is configured to compensate for variations in the supply voltage, as well as for variations in process and temperature via a process and temperature compensation circuit. The PVT-compensated CMOS ring oscillator includes a regulated voltage supply circuit to generate a supply voltage that is resistant to variations due to changes in the overall supply voltage.

    Abstract: Circuitry for generating a compliance voltage (V+) for the current sources and/or sinks in an implantable stimulator device in disclosed. The circuitry assesses whether V+ is optimal for a given pulse, and if not, adjusts V+ for the next pulse. The circuitry uses amplifiers to measure the voltage drop across active PDACs (current sources) and NDAC (current sinks) at an appropriate time during the pulse. The measured voltages are assessed to determine whether they are high or low relative to optimal values. If low, a V+ regulator is controlled to increase V+ for the next pulse; if not, the V+ regulator is controlled to decrease V+ for the next pulse. Through this approach, gradual changes that may be occurring in the implant environment can be accounted for, with V+ adjusted on a pulse-by-pulse basis to keep the voltage drops at or near optimal levels for efficient DAC operation.
