Claim:
1. A method of generating spinal cord stimulation signals for a human body, comprising: storing in control registers stimulation signal parameters for a plurality of channels with each channel capable of being associated with at least two electrodes among a plurality of electrodes, each channel corresponding to a stimulation signal pattern of the associated electrodes, the signal parameters including burst parameters; generating timing signals corresponding to stimulation signals for the plurality of channels according to the stored signal parameters; determining whether to modulate the timing signals received from the timing generator wherein if it is determined that the timing signals are to be modulated, modulating the received timing signals at a burst frequency according to the stored burst parameters; transmitting, by a processor, the stimulation signal parameters to the control registers; and placing the processor in a standby mode, wherein the timing signals are generated without intervention from the processor while the processor is in the standby mode.
