Electric circuit for providing a high tension impulse, particularly for a defibrillator

Abstract

Abstract The HV pulse circuit uses a series of capacitors (C1...Cn) connected in a series circuit via associated switches (S1...Sn) for selective discharge of the capacitors (C1...Cn). The latter are charged in a parallel circuit, with stored energy within the circuit used for operating the switches (S1...Sn). Pref. a control unit is used for controlled connection of the charged capacitors (C1...Cn) in the series circuit, to obtain a voltage pulse with a given signal characteristic.
