Single-chip AFE integrates optical, ECG, and bio-impedance measurement systems
Simplify the design of wearable remote patient monitoring (RPM) devices by measuring four vital signs with one MAX86178 triple-system vital signs analog front end (AFE) from Analog Devices, Inc. This single-chip AFE integrates three measurement systems (optical, ECG, and bio-impedance) to obtain four common vital signs: electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), heart rate (ECG or optical […]
SoC handles edge AI apps in event detection, pressure sensing, gesture recognition, sensor fusion
Syntiant Corp announced its new Syntiant NDP102 Neural Decision Processor (NDP) for sensor applications that deliver 100x improvement in efficiency and performance compared to current MCU-based offerings. Capable of performing sensor processing at under 100 microwatts, the NDP102 can operate as a standalone SoC solution or as the always-on component of a larger system. With […]
Medical rectifier designed to meet various medical industry standards
In the medical device space, safety and reliability are paramount. Using power supplies that meet the industry’s stringent standards is one of the core ways to help ensure these requirements are met. Helping to meet this need, ABB Power Conversion has introduced its new MPE2000AC48_200AC24 (MPE2000) rectifier, which has been designed specifically with medical applications […]
Brushless BLDC motor drivers enables engineers to spin motor in less than 10 minutes
Texas Instruments introduced the industry’s first 70-W brushless DC (BLDC) motor drivers to provide code-free, sensorless trapezoidal, and field-oriented control (FOC). The devices enable engineers to spin a BLDC motor in less than 10 minutes – eliminating months of design time for engineers designing a wide variety of industrial systems such as major and small […]
Small nichrome chip resistors handle 0.05 W
As design engineers continue to push the miniaturization of electronic devices while maintaining or increasing functionality, there is a corresponding need for smaller and more precise electronic components, such as chip resistors. If a precision application requires both small size and high-power handling, finding suitable precision resistors may be challenging. Stackpole recently increased the power […]
Sealed tactile switch finds sweet spot in price-sensitive applications
C&K has developed a versatile sealed tactile switch suited for a wide variety of consumer, industrial, IoT, and portable electronic applications that require long operational life at a cost-effective price point. The EL tactile switch series combines common heights and actuation forces with a longer lifecycle than competitors at 200,000 cycles. An IP67 rating for […]
Internal medical ac-dc supplies feature higher power ranges
CUI Inc announced the addition of twelve new models to its VMS-C and VMS-C-CNF range of internal medical ac-dc power supplies. Considerably extending the offering, these new, higher power models are chassis mount units available in open frame or metal case variations that are perfect for use in medical and home healthcare applications, such as ultrasound […]
SMD Piezo sounder boasts louder output in a small footprint
Murata Electronics has newly developed the PKMCS0909E48H0-R1 SMD Piezo Sounder at 4.8 KHz which is a new and improved model from the current SMD sounder (PKMCS0909E4000-R1). The new sounder uses the same 9mm x 9mm footprint, is 1mm taller, uses new materials, operates at 800 Hz higher in frequency, and boosts the sound pressure level […]
Drop-in spread-spectrum oscillator ICs reduce problematic peak emissions by up to 12 dB
Saelig Company, Inc. has introduced the 18EQHM32 series of oscillators that can reduce overall EMI issues in electronic equipment by subtly varying the system clock oscillator center frequency and thus distributing any EMI issues over a broader bandwidth. The new 18EQHM32 series are designed as drop-in replacements for standard clock oscillators and are targeted for […]
