ABSTRACT:
An implantable medical device (IMD) is provided. The IMD comprises a sense circuit, a main processing unit coupled to the sense circuit, a memory unit coupled to the main processing unit, and a reconfigurable processor unit coupled to the memory unit and the main processing unit. The reconfigurable processor unit is adapted to receive data, perform a processing function on the data, and return processed data to the memory unit. The memory unit is adapted to store the processed data. The main processing unit is adapted to execute programmed instructions and selectively reconfigure the processing function of the reconfigurable processor unit in response to one of the programmed instructions. Such a configuration can be used to implement a method of efficiently processing data in an IMD.
