Abstract :
A powerful and very low power consumption mixed signal microprocessor is proposed. The new concept of this completely externally programmable chip is used to design very advanced urinary prostheses. Besides being a major asset for clinicians, this device is powered with an implanted cell and offers advantages to patients
