Abstract

An example of a system for delivering neurostimulation pulses includes a stimulation output circuit setting a hardware resolution for each stimulation parameter. A control circuit may be configured to receive the stimulation parameters and may include a dithering mode enabler configured to enable a dithering mode and a parameter dithering processor configured to operate when the dithering mode is enabled. The parameter dithering processor may be configured to identify a received stimulation parameter to be dithered and to dither a received value of the identified stimulation parameter by programming the stimulation output circuit to deliver pulses at a higher value of the identified stimulation parameter interleaved with pulses at a lower value of the identified parameter at a ratio determined for producing an average value approximating to the received value. The higher value and the lower value are values available with the hardware resolution.
