Abstract
Devices and circuits for reducing sizes of medical devices are disclosed. In one example, an implantable medical device (IMD) may include a housing, multiple electrodes outside of the housing, an energy storage device within the housing, and a circuit within the housing and connected to the energy storage device and the two or more electrodes. In some cases, the circuit may include two or more island sections, with each island section connected to at least one other island section by a ribbon section. Each island section may have two opposing major surfaces. A first island section and a second island section may be stacked within the housing such that one of the two major surfaces of the first island section faces one of the two opposing major surfaces of the second island section.
