Claim 5:
6. The IMD as recited in claim 5, wherein, when the IMD is disposed in a stimulation mode after the IMD is implanted in the patient, a first DM switch associated with a first electrode is activated to be in a closed state and a first SES switch associated with the first electrode is activated to be in an open state when the first electrode is configured to be an anode, and further wherein a second DM switch associated with a second electrode is activated to be in an open state and a second SES switch associated with the second electrode is activated to be in a closed state when the second electrode is configured to be a cathode, thereby causing a particular one of the at least one stimulation engine to energize, responsive to enabling a pulse signal, the first and second electrodes to provide stimulation therapy to the patient.
