Methods and apparatuses for implantable medical device telemetry power management
First Claim
1. A method including:
- connecting at least one portion of a far-field radio-frequency (RF) first telemetry circuit in an implantable medical device to an energy source through a power connection module;
detecting information included in a first predetermined wireless signal using a second circuit separate from the RF first telemetry circuit;
changing a conductivity state of the power connection module when the information in the first predetermined wireless signal is detected to couple power to the at least one portion of the first telemetry circuit;
detecting a second predetermined wireless signal; and
changing a conductivity state of the power connection module to decouple power to the at least one portion of the first telemetry circuit when the second predetermined wireless signal is detected and the first telemetry circuit enters an idle state.
