Abstract :
A system of four integrated circuits along with discretes that form part of an implantable defibrillator is outlined. Circuit techniques to reduce battery power drain and a 12-bit integrating analog-to-digital converter that monitors several system utility voltages including battery terminal voltage, are presented. Typical system current drain is 20 μA
