Overview

The portable medical applications market is growing rapidly and companies with limited teams and expertise need to enter quickly to meet consumers’ growing need for devices that are more portable, consume less power and provide more sophistication, all at a lower cost. To answer these needs, TI has launched a set of medical application development tools with complete signal chain designs and software for electrocardiograms, digital stethoscopes, and pulse oximeter products. Each of the three medical development kits (MDKs) is comprised by purchasing an analog front-end (AFE) module with specific circuitry design optimized for each end product plus a TMS320C5515 DSP Evaluation Module (EVM). With hardware and software design information, including schematics, application source code, medical-specific algorithms and technical documents, each MDK decreases the development time for customers by six to eight months. In addition, MDKs provide a great evaluation platform to help medical device manufacturers focus on product differentiation, like algorithm development and feature enhancement. They also lower the barrier for novice developers who want to enter the medical industry quickly.

System Block Diagram

Below is a system block diagram of the three medical development kits. Through standard connector interfaces, users can get the most fl exibility of mix-and-match analog front-end modules with multiple TI processor platforms, maximizing their return on investment. Moreover, by choosing low-power IC components, MDK designs offer longer battery life to enable more portability in the end products.
