1. A method of generating spinal cord stimulation signals for a human body by an implantable pulse generator (IPG) including a processor and a programmable signal generator, the method comprising:

  • transmitting, by a treatment control module executed by the processor, one or more stimulation signal parameters to the programmable signal generator;

    storing the one or more stimulation signal parameters in at least one control register of the programmable signal generator;

    generating, by the programmable signal generator, one or more stimulation signals based on the one or more stimulation signal parameters;

    transmitting the one or more stimulation signals to at least one electrode of the IPG;

    placing, by the treatment control module, the processor in a standby mode, wherein the programmable signal generator generates the one or more stimulation signals without intervention from the processor while the processor is in the standby mode.
