A neurostimulation device capable of being placed between an active stimulation state and an inactive stimulation state, comprising: a plurality of electrical terminals configured for being respectively coupled to a plurality of stimulation electrodes; a first solid-state switching device (S 1) coupled to a first one of the electrical terminals; a variable power source coupled to the first switching device (S 1); and a controller configured for, when the neurostimulation device is in the inactive stimulation state, during which no stimulation is provided by the neurostimulation device, prompting the variable power source to selectively output a relatively low voltage to place the first switching device (S 1) into a first open state and a relatively high voltage to place the first switching device (S 1) into a second open state, wherein the controller is further configured for prompting the variable power source to output the relatively high voltage to place the first switching device (S 1) into the second open state when the neurostimulation device is in the active stimulation state, further comprising at least one stimulation source, wherein the controller is configured for prompting the at least one stimulation source to convey a series of stimulation pulses between the first and second electrical terminals when the neurostimulation device is in the active stimulation state, and for prompting the variable power source to output the relatively high voltage during the conveyance of each of the pulses, and to ground the first switching device after the conveyance of each of the pulses to place the first switching device into a closed state. a plurality of electrical terminals configured for being respectively coupled to a plurality of stimulation electrodes; a first solid-state switching device (S 1) coupled to a first one of the electrical terminals; a variable power source coupled to the first switching device (S 1); and a controller configured for, when the neurostimulation device is in the inactive stimulation state, during which no stimulation is provided by the neurostimulation device, prompting the variable power source to selectively output a relatively low voltage to place the first switching device (S 1) into a first open state and a relatively high voltage to place the first switching device (S 1) into a second open state, wherein the controller is further configured for prompting the variable power source to output the relatively high voltage to place the first switching device (S 1) into the second open state when the neurostimulation device is in the active stimulation state, further comprising at least one stimulation source, wherein the controller is configured for prompting the at least one stimulation source to convey a series of stimulation pulses between the first and second electrical terminals when the neurostimulation device is in the active stimulation state, and for prompting the variable power source to output the relatively high voltage during the conveyance of each of the pulses, and to ground the first switching device after the conveyance of each of the pulses to place the first switching device into a closed state.
