Suppose that we are designing a cardiac pacemaker circuit


Suppose that we are designing a cardiac pacemaker circuit. The circuit is required to deliver pulses of 1-ms duration to the heart, which can be modeled as a 500 ohm resistance. The peak amplitude of the pulses is required to be 5 V. However, the battery delivers only 2.5 V. Therefore, we decide to charge two equal-value capacitors in parallel form from the 2.5 V battery and then switch the capacitors in series with the heart during the 1-ms pulse. What is the minimum value of the capacitances required so the output pulse amplitude remains between 4.9 V and 5 V throughout its 1-ms duration? If the pulses occur once every second, what is the average current drain from the battery? Use approximate calculations, assuming constant current during the output pulse. Find the ampere-hour rating of the battery so it lasts for five years.
