Abstract
A system and method for measuring and monitoring charge states of one or more electrodes of an implanted stimulation lead system associated with an IPG. A Kelvin connection scheme operative with a switching circuit is provided for coupling select electrode terminals disposed in a Kelvin connection measurement loop in a switchable manner to sense and reference inputs of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) configured as at least part of diagnostic circuitry for the IPG.
