HIGH VOLTAGE THERAPY SYSTEM WITH TRANSFORMER PRIMARY CURRENT CONTROL

Improved devices, circuits and methods of operation in implantable stimulus systems. An implantable defibrillator may comprise a charging circuit using a transformer to store and build up energy on an HV capacitor or capacitor stack, with the HV capacitor in turn coupled to an H-bridge output circuit having low and high sides for issuing therapy. A current monitoring circuitry is provided on the low side of the H-Bridge and used to form a feedback loop to control current into a transformer that converts battery voltage to a signal that charges the HV capacitor to control current through the H-bridge.
