To shorten application development time, Freescale launches a comprehensive platform for healthcare AFE
The rapid development of portable medical equipment in the world not only makes it easier for consumers to obtain the help of medical technology, but also provides end users with technologies that could not be used at home, thus changing the entire healthcare industry. Medical device manufacturers have always faced challenges brought by the consumer market, including pressure on price sensitivity and time to market. To simplify product development, reduce costs, and accelerate time-to-market, Freescale Semiconductor (NYSE: FSL) introduced a healthcare analog front-end (AFE) reference design platform that includes hardware, circuit diagrams, and software for easy product prototyping .
Freescale introduces the healthcare front-end reference platform for simulation, a comprehensive platform with hardware, circuit diagrams, and software that helps shorten the development time of healthcare applications.
The global medical device industry is developing rapidly. According to Espicom's latest industry research report, by 2015, the market size of the industry is expected to grow from US $ 164 billion in 2010 to US $ 228 billion. According to Gartner's survey, portable consumer medical devices such as blood glucose monitors, blood pressure monitors, insulin pumps and heart rate monitors are the fastest growing segment of the market.
Steven Dean, director of vertical solutions marketing at Freescale, said: "Consumerization of healthcare has put tremendous pressure on engineering designers of medical devices. Sometimes, people are expected to complete the design in just a few months We are more willing to have vendors like Freescale to help them complete the design more easily and faster. With our AFE reference design platform for healthcare, engineers and external design companies can prototype more easily in less time. Products, complete more projects. "
Reduce development costs
Freescale Healthcare AFE Reference Design Platform is a highly integrated hardware and software development platform that can help reduce system cost, board size, and complexity. The platform is based on the KineTIs K53 MCU, which contains an integrated analog front end (AFE) and has all the functions needed to capture biosensor data. This integrated AFE contains an accurate reference voltage, four high-performance amplifiers, and two high-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADC) and digital-to-analog (DAC) converter modules.
Freescale launches healthcare analog front-end reference platform
The reference design platform is based on Freescale ’s tower system and includes a demo or prototype electrocardiogram (ECG), heart monitor, pulse oximeter, blood glucose monitor, blood pressure monitor, spirometer or a Doppler ultrasound stethoscope Required software and hardware. Application-specific board plug-ins enable users to choose their applications and integration levels.
Six boards in the reference platform
MED-BPM for blood pressure monitor
MED-STETH for digital stethoscope and fetal heart rate monitor
MED-EKG for electrocardiogram and heart rate monitoring
MED-SPI for spirometer
MED-SP02 for oximeter
MED-GLU for blood glucose monitor
For customers who need higher performance and accurate analog functions, Freescale and Linear Technology provide dedicated board plug-ins. These boards are equipped with a variety of high-performance precision operational amplifiers, specifically for customers who need or prefer external analog solutions.
Erik Soule, Vice President of Linear Technology ’s Signal Conditioning Products Division, said: “We are very pleased to partner with Freescale to launch this dedicated platform for healthcare. Fang provides a series of medical equipment for designers of healthcare equipment with easy-to-use components. "
Committed to the healthcare equipment market
Freescale has been committed to the healthcare equipment market and provides the highest level of support for the technical infrastructure of the IC industry. Freescale joined the ConTInua Health Alliance's technical working group (its medical center of excellence focused on developing new technologies and a strong partner ecosystem), which once again proved the industry's leadership. In addition, the Freescale product long-term supply plan also provides a large number of planned devices for the medical market to ensure that these devices enjoy at least 15 years of supply guarantee.
