Zusammenfassung:Disclosed are biomedical stimulators and systems that deliver stimulus power efficiently to electrodes and tissues, provide reliable control of stimulus efficacy over a wide dynamic range of available power and voltage, avoid damaging net direct current flow through tissue, minimize the amount of data that must be transmitted to specify a particular stimulus strength, and extend the range of received field strengths for which stimulators can function safely and reliably. These biomedical stimulators and systems provide reliable stimulation of known intensity by measuring charging currents and discharging predetermined quantities of charge.
