IMPLANTABLE DEVICE WITH MICROPROCESSOR CONTROL ABSTRACT An improved body function assistance device is provided wherein a microprocessor controls the re- sponse of the device to various external physiological events and internal timer events. The microprocessor is adapted for use with the limited energy supply avail- able from a battery by activating internal logic com- ponents of the processor only in response to selected events and to perform an operating routine corresponding to the "wakeup" event. At the end of the operating routine, a new set of wakeup events is selected and the internal logic components are deactivated. A further reduction in the average operating current is obtained by providing a plurality of counting rates to minimize the number of state changes during counting cycles. The microprocessor may be provided with a fixed operating routine or may be provided with the capability of actually introducing program changes in the implanted device.
