    摘要: In general, the invention is directed toward an implantable medical device that includes a controller and a plurality of sensor modules. The controller may control the sensor modules to perform one or more sensor actions in order to facilitate a measurement. The sensor modules may store one or more operational parameters that control various aspects of the sensor actions performed by the sensor modules. The controller may automatically adjust one or more of the operational parameters based on results received from previous measurements in order to provide closed loop parameter adjustment of the operational parameters associated with the sensor modules. The controller may communicate with the sensor modules via a common bus. Example measurements include tissue perfusion measurements, blood oxygen sensing measurements, sonomicrometry measurements, and pressure measurements.

    摘要: Two mechanisms work together to adjust two variables independently so that the gain of an input amplifier used to find physiologic signals in an implantable medical device can be automatically adjusted to enhance the signal to noise ratio of the electrical input to said amplifier. The first determines whether there has been too long a time between senses found in the body's electrical input to the amplifier and if true, and no other conditions override that consideration, it adjusts the value of a long term average parameter which is used as a referent parameter to adjust the actual parameter that is used as the referent for making either a threshold level adjustment or gain change, depending on the structure of the particular design's circuitry and/or software. One set of adjustments to the gain referent parameter depends on the relative size of the long term average parameter and the gain referent parameter. The mechanisms preferably employ counting registers, the one which adjusts the gain referent having a process to weight input signals such that those of different types get different weights, and the other mechanism only accepting certain of the input signals. Input signals to the two mechanisms can be either physiologically based or from stimulation pulses issued from an implanted device, such as, for example a pacemaker.

    摘要: Various techniques are described for periodically performing a calibration routine to calibrate a low-power system clock within an implantable medical device (IMD) based on a high accuracy reference clock also included in the IMD. The system clock is powered continuously, and the reference clock is only powered on during the calibration routine. The techniques include determining a clock error of the system clock based on a difference between frequencies of the system clock and the reference clock over a fixed number of clock cycles, and adjusting a trim value of the system clock to compensate for the clock error. Calibrating the system clock with a delta-sigma loop, for example, reduces the clock error over time. This allows accurate adjustment of the system clock to compensate for errors due to trim resolution, circuit noise and temperature.
