IMPLANTABLE THERAPEUTIC APPARATUS USING LOW VOLTAGE CAPACITOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make miniaturization and low voltage formation of a battery possible in an implantable apparatus. SOLUTION: The implantable apparatus 30 has a low voltage battery 10, a low voltage capacitor 32, a high voltage capacitor 12 and charging circuits 16. The low voltage capacitor receives energy from the low voltage battery. The high voltage capacitor receives energy from the low voltage battery and the low voltage capacitor. These low voltage battery and low voltage capacitor are connected with each other in parallel and they are connected with the high voltage capacitor in parallel through the charging circuit 16. The charging circuit converts the energy received from the low voltage battery 10 and the low voltage capacitor 32 to a voltage of at least 500 V accumulated in the high voltage capacitor 12.
