Abstract:
1. An implantable medical device comprising: a plurality of integrated circuits; a plurality of discrete components; a circuit board that is coupled to each of the integrated circuits and discrete components; and a housing to house the circuit board, wherein the circuit board comprises first and second opposing surfaces, the housing houses the first and second surfaces, each of the integrated circuits is located on the first surface, and each of the discrete circuit components is located on the second surface, wherein at least one of the integrated circuits or discrete components are arranged on the respective one of the first or second surfaces to substantially conform to a first predetermined non-linear profile that is based on a second non-linear profile of the housing, and wherein each of the discrete components has a height, and the discrete components are arranged on the second surface of the circuit board such that the heights of the discrete components predominantly decrease from an edge of the second surface of the circuit board to a center of the second surface of the circuit board.
