    摘要: A neurostimulation (NS) system and method are provided. The system includes a power supply having positive and negative terminals. The negative terminal defines a reference ground. An array of electrodes are positioned within a patient. The array of electrodes includes first and second active electrodes for delivering stimulation therapy configured to be located proximate to neural tissue of interest that is associated with a target region. A control circuit is configured to control delivery of stimulation current for a NS therapy between the first and second electrodes. A current regulator (CR) circuit is connected to, and configured to control current flow through, at least the first electrode during delivery of the stimulation therapy under direction of the control circuit. A floating power supply is connected across power supply terminals of the CR circuit. The CR circuit and floating power supply are coupled to a floating ground node that is electrically separate from the reference ground.

    摘要: Embodiments are directed to an implantable medical device comprising stimulation circuitry for controlling delivery of a medical therapy to a patient, a processor for controlling the IMD according to executable code, and a power source. The implantable medical device may further include current regulator circuitry comprising electrode selection circuitry that is configured to select electrodes for use during a discharge mode, and a programmable current regulator configured to provide an exponentially decreasing discharge current to the selected electrodes from the power source. A current output of a programmable current regulator may be decreased in precalculated steps to create the exponentially decreasing discharge current applied to the selected electrodes.
