Abstract :
With the development and the miniaturization of microprocessors, the possibility of designing implantable real-time electronic devices for recreation of impaired gastrointestinal motility looks more realistic than ever. In this paper, a solution for the design of portable microprocessor-based stimulator is proposed, which can be regarded as a preliminary version of an implantable stimulator
