摘要:
Waveforms for a stimulator device, and methods and circuitry for generating them, are disclosed having high- and low-frequency aspects. The waveforms comprise a sequence of pulses issued at a low frequency which each pulse comprising first and second charge-balanced phases. One or both of the phases comprises a plurality a monophasic sub-phase pulses issued at a high frequency in which the sub-phase pulses are separated by gaps. The current during the gaps in a phase can be zero, or can comprise a non-zero current of the same polarity as the sub-phase pulses issued during that phase. The disclosed waveforms provide benefits of high frequency stimulation such as the promotion of paresthesia free, sub-threshold stimulation, but without drawbacks inherent in using high-frequency biphasic pulses.
