Low-profile implantable medical device

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 a thickness of the circuit board including the integrated circuits and the discrete components is less than or equal to 3.8 millimeters.
