Abstract
A synchronous telemetry receiver and receiving method for reception from an implantable medical device of a PPM signal including a plurality of bits each having a sync pulse and at least one data pulse of equal amplitude. Capability is provided for restoring correct phase in the event that a sync pulse is missing or incorrectly received for any reason. A high-frequency clock and counter are provided for counting clock pulses during the time interval between each data pulse and its respective sync pulse in order to obtain a measurement of the time interval.
