技术领域technical field
本发明属于生物医疗专用集成电路领域,具体涉及一种应用于植入式心脏起搏器的无线通信电路结构。The invention belongs to the field of biomedical application-specific integrated circuits, and in particular relates to a wireless communication circuit structure applied to implantable cardiac pacemakers.
背景技术Background technique
植入式心脏起搏器是一种植入式医疗设备,工作环境在人体内部,通常要求这些设备具有足够强的信息处理能力,能够提供数据遥测功能。现在,随着工程技术的发展,全世界范围内大部分的植入式设备都可以在体内被外部程控仪进行程控,来获得更好的工作效能。植入式的心脏起搏器由单一不可更换的电池供电,一般要求能够在人体内持续工作10年甚至更久,必须具有极低的功耗,以延长使用寿命并减小热扩散。另外,为了减小患者的不适感,植入式心脏起搏器中的芯片面积应尽可能小。因此,这种电路系统需要使用大规模集成电路技术、先进的无线技术和电源管理技术。An implantable cardiac pacemaker is an implanted medical device whose working environment is inside the human body. It is usually required that these devices have sufficient information processing capabilities to provide data telemetry. Now, with the development of engineering technology, most of the implantable devices around the world can be programmed in the body by an external program controller to obtain better working efficiency. Implantable cardiac pacemakers are powered by a single non-replaceable battery, generally required to be able to work continuously in the human body for 10 years or more, and must have extremely low power consumption to prolong the service life and reduce heat dissipation. In addition, in order to reduce the patient's discomfort, the chip area in the implantable cardiac pacemaker should be as small as possible. Therefore, this circuit system requires the use of large scale integrated circuit technology, advanced wireless technology and power management technology.
现在使用的植入式心脏起搏器的遥测功能和数据传输功能一般由起搏器和体外的程控仪的双向通信完成。The telemetry function and data transmission function of the currently used implantable cardiac pacemaker are generally completed by the two-way communication between the pacemaker and the external programmer.
现在的植入式心脏起搏器无线通信电路一般是使用FPGA以及分立元件构建的,相比于使用全定制专用集成电路,缺点在于集成度低、面积更大、功耗更高、性能没有优势,优点在于开发时间更短、成本更低。The current wireless communication circuits of implantable cardiac pacemakers are generally constructed using FPGA and discrete components. Compared with using fully customized ASICs, the disadvantages are low integration, larger area, higher power consumption, and no advantage in performance. , which has the advantage of shorter development time and lower cost.
现有的植入式设备的通信方式均将信息调制后加载到线圈上,通过谐振解调进行传输。本发明中的通信电路通过线圈耦合互感的方式进行数据传输,体内接收端无需解调电路,进一步降低了电路的复杂度和功耗。In the existing communication methods of implantable devices, the information is modulated and loaded onto the coil, and then transmitted through resonance demodulation. The communication circuit in the present invention performs data transmission through coil coupling and mutual inductance, and the receiving end in the body does not need a demodulation circuit, which further reduces the complexity and power consumption of the circuit.
在起搏器向程控仪传输心电数据的过程中,由电极采集到的心电信号,通过ASIC的相关电路采集到,并送入MCU进行解析。现有的起搏器的方案一般是由MCU将数据处理以后通过发射管和线圈进行发送,这样进行心电数据传输的期间,MCU发热量大,患者将会感到明显的不适。During the process of the pacemaker transmitting ECG data to the program-controlled instrument, the ECG signals collected by the electrodes are collected by the relevant circuits of the ASIC and sent to the MCU for analysis. In the existing pacemaker scheme, the data is processed by the MCU and sent through the transmitting tube and the coil. During the transmission of the ECG data, the MCU generates a lot of heat, and the patient will feel obvious discomfort.

In the following description, the key role played by each module of the circuit in the overall circuit structure is emphasized. The function of the description of the circuit communication method is to further explain the function of the circuit structure by describing the circuit working mode, but it is not the present invention. focus, so not all communication states will be fully described here.
参见图1,本发明一种应用于植入式心脏起搏器的无线通信电路结构包括无线通信电路01。所述无线通信电路01包括滤波模块010、放大器模块011、迟滞比较器模块012、波形整形模块013、同步模块014、译码模块015、唤醒电路模块016、发射管模块017、通信编码模块018、混合编码模块019以及体内线圈L1。Referring to FIG. 1 , a wireless communication circuit structure applied to an implantable cardiac pacemaker according to the present invention includes a wireless communication circuit 01 . The wireless communication circuit 01 includes a filtering module 010, an amplifier module 011, a hysteresis comparator module 012, a waveform shaping module 013, a synchronization module 014, a decoding module 015, a wake-up circuit module 016, a transmitting tube module 017, a communication encoding module 018, Hybrid encoding module 019 and body coil L1.
本无线通信电路平时处于休眠状态,休眠状态下无线通信电路的唤醒功能模块间歇性地打开,以侦听体外程控仪是否有唤醒指令,这一工作模式的功耗非常低,在0.35μm工艺和32K晶振时钟条件下电流小于10nA。The wireless communication circuit is usually in a dormant state. In the dormant state, the wake-up function module of the wireless communication circuit is turned on intermittently to listen to whether there is a wake-up command from the external program controller. The power consumption of this working mode is very low. Under the condition of 32K crystal oscillator clock, the current is less than 10nA.
当医生需要建立通信来交换数据的时候,使用体外程控仪2,持续地通过体外线圈L2和体内线圈L1的耦合,向无线通信电路01发送特定的唤醒信号。唤醒信号由体内线圈L1接收到进入无线通信电路01以后,依次经过滤波模块010、放大器模块011、迟滞比较器模块012、波形整形模块013和唤醒电路模块016,将整个无线通信电路01由休眠状态转换至唤醒状态,同时通知体内MCU模块03。MCU模块03接下来进入体内发射工作模式,具体过程是MCU模块03依次通过通信编码模块018、发射管模块017、体内线圈L1,将起搏器验证信息发射出无线通信电路模块01,经体外线圈L2由体外程控仪2接收到以后,无线通信电路模块01进入体内接收工作模式,程控仪模块2将之前接收到的验证信息依次经由体外线圈L2、体内线圈L1、滤波模块010、放大器模块011、迟滞比较器模块012、波形整形模块013、译码模块015传输至MCU模块03,MCU模块03接收到校验信息确认正确之后,再重复一次上述发送和接收的校验过程,如果校验无误,则通信顺利建立,否则无线通信电路模块01在一段时间的等待之后回归到休眠状态。When the doctor needs to establish communication to exchange data, the external programmer 2 is used to continuously send a specific wake-up signal to the wireless communication circuit 01 through the coupling of the external coil L2 and the internal coil L1. After the wake-up signal is received by the coil L1 in the body and enters the wireless communication circuit 01, it passes through the filter module 010, the amplifier module 011, the hysteresis comparator module 012, the waveform shaping module 013 and the wake-up circuit module 016 in sequence, and the whole wireless communication circuit 01 is turned from the sleep state Transition to the wake-up state, and notify the MCU module 03 in the body at the same time. Next, the MCU module 03 enters the internal transmission working mode. The specific process is that the MCU module 03 transmits the pacemaker verification information to the wireless communication circuit module 01 through the communication encoding module 018, the transmitting tube module 017, and the internal coil L1 in sequence, and passes through the external coil. After L2 is received by the external program controller 2, the wireless communication circuit module 01 enters the internal receiving mode, and the program controller module 2 passes the verification information received before through the external coil L2, the internal coil L1, the filter module 010, the amplifier module 011, The hysteresis comparator module 012, the waveform shaping module 013, and the decoding module 015 are transmitted to the MCU module 03. After the MCU module 03 receives the verification information and confirms that it is correct, it repeats the above-mentioned verification process of sending and receiving. If the verification is correct, Then the communication is successfully established, otherwise the wireless communication circuit module 01 returns to the dormant state after waiting for a period of time.
无线通信模块01在唤醒并且顺利建立通信之后的工作模式由MCU模块03来控制,而MCU模块03让无线通信模块01处于何种工作模式,则由MCU模块03接收到的程控仪模块2发出的模式控制指令来决定。无线通信模块01一共有三种工作方式,包括体内发送工作模式、体内接收工作模式和心电数据传输工作模式,由于无线通信模块01的工作模式的控制是由MCU模块03进行的,所以在体内发送和体内接收工作模式下,无线通信模块01所执行的功能和在唤醒阶段传输校验信息并没有区别,相当于一个MCU模块03到体外程控仪模块2的数据传输和解析的通路,其中体内接收工作模式等同于体外程控仪模块2将接收到的校验信息发送到MCU模块03的工作过程,体内发送工作模式等同与MCU模块03将校验信息发送到体外程控仪模块2的工作过程。The working mode of the wireless communication module 01 after it wakes up and successfully establishes communication is controlled by the MCU module 03, and the working mode that the MCU module 03 allows the wireless communication module 01 to be in depends on the message sent by the programmer module 2 received by the MCU module 03. mode control command to decide. The wireless communication module 01 has three working modes in total, including the in-body sending mode, the in-vivo receiving mode and the ECG data transmission mode. Since the control of the working mode of the wireless communication module 01 is performed by the MCU module 03, the in-body In the sending and receiving working modes in the body, the function performed by the wireless communication module 01 is no different from the transmission of verification information during the wake-up phase, which is equivalent to the data transmission and analysis path from the MCU module 03 to the in vitro program controller module 2, where the in vivo The working mode of receiving is equivalent to the working process in which the in vitro program controller module 2 sends the received verification information to the MCU module 03, and the working mode of in vivo sending is equivalent to the working process in which the MCU module 03 sends the verification information to the in vitro program controlling device module 2.
如果医生想要体内装置电路模块0向外传输心电数据的时候,通过体内接收工作模式向MCU模块03发送指令,切换无线通信电路模块01的工作模式至心电数据传输工作模式。在此工作模式下,ASIC模块02采集来自心脏1的心电数据,再传输至MCU模块03;MCU模块03停止与无线通信电路模块01的数据传输,根据从ASIC模块02接收到的心电数据产生事件标记,将事件标记位存储到寄存器中;无线通信模块01定时采集来自ASIC模块02的心电数据和来自MCU模块03的事件标记,将采集到的心电数据和事件标记经过混合编码模块019按照设定好的规则加上校验位、起始位和终止位,进入通信编码模块018编译成通信码,再经过发射管模块017加载到体内线圈L1上,通过和体外线圈L2耦合由体外程控仪模块2接收到,完成心电数据的一般传输过程。心电数据每发送一定次数,无线通信电路模块01打开接收通路,接收来自程控仪模块2的同步信号,同步信号的接收不同于体内接收工作模式,同步信号从波形整形模块013出来以后进入同步模块014进行同步确认,确认成功则继续心电数据传输工作模式,否则无线通信电路模块01进入休眠工作模式。If the doctor wants the internal device circuit module 0 to transmit ECG data, he can send an instruction to the MCU module 03 through the internal receiving mode to switch the working mode of the wireless communication circuit module 01 to the ECG data transmission mode. In this working mode, the ASIC module 02 collects the ECG data from the heart 1, and then transmits it to the MCU module 03; the MCU module 03 stops the data transmission with the wireless communication circuit module 01, and according to the ECG data received from the ASIC module 02 Generate event markers, store event marker bits in registers; wireless communication module 01 regularly collects ECG data from ASIC module 02 and event markers from MCU module 03, passes the collected ECG data and event markers through the hybrid coding module 019 adds the parity bit, start bit and stop bit according to the set rules, enters the communication coding module 018 and compiles it into a communication code, and then loads it to the internal coil L1 through the transmitting tube module 017, and is coupled with the external coil L2 by The in vitro program controller module 2 receives and completes the general transmission process of ECG data. Every time the ECG data is sent a certain number of times, the wireless communication circuit module 01 opens the receiving channel to receive the synchronization signal from the program controller module 2. The reception of the synchronization signal is different from the internal receiving working mode. The synchronization signal enters the synchronization module after it comes out of the waveform shaping module 013 014 for synchronous confirmation, if the confirmation is successful, the ECG data transmission working mode will continue, otherwise the wireless communication circuit module 01 will enter the dormant working mode.
