ABSTRACT:
An implantable medical device that includes a magnetic sensor circuit that senses the presence of an external magnetic field and provides a signal that is proportionate to the strength of the magnetic field. The implantable medical device uses the variable signal to determine whether a magnetic field is being applied that is selected to activate a preselected function. In one implementation, the preselected function is a power up sequence.
