Abstract
Improved devices, circuits and methods of operation in implantable stimulus systems. An implantable defibrillator may comprise an H-bridge output circuit having low and high sides, with a current controlling circuit coupled to the high side of the H-bridge output circuit and a current monitoring circuit coupled to the low side of the H-bridge output circuit. Alternate current paths to the output of the H-bridge, or to the H-Bridge itself, are used for delivering different therapies to the patient.
