Abstract
An electrical stimulation system includes an electrical stimulation circuit and a controller. The electrical stimulation circuit includes a flyback transformer connected to electrical stimulus outputs, and a switch having a control input. In some instances, a controller is connected to the control input, and generates a stimulus signal. The flyback transformer outputs an electrical stimulus event responsive to the stimulus signal onto the electrical stimulus outputs. In some instances, pulses operate to charge the flyback transformer to a saturation mode. In some further instances, a diode and capacitor arrangement electrically connected at a secondary side of the flyback transformer facilitate delivery of the electrical stimulus event at the electrical stimulus outputs.
