Future Electronics Promotes NXP’s New Narrowband Receiver for Healthcare Monitoring

Leave a comment

Pointe Claire, Quebec (realtimepressrelease) November 24, 2015 – Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, has announced immediate availability of NXP’s new narrowband receivers for healthcare patient monitoring applications.

NXP’s RF-IF building block ICs are ideal for niche market handheld devices. A major niche market is medical monitoring and data management, where a human machine interface (HMI) is critical to the patient’s well-being and life support.

The SA606 can be used to “connect” a cardiac patient’s implanted device to the clinic or doctor’s office via a standard phone line or cellular phone. The application employs the SA606 as a narrowband receiver, used to receive data that alerts system protocols. Information transmitted from the implanted heart device is received using an antenna similar to a stethoscope head attached to the patient transceiver monitor. At a scheduled time or whenever the clinic asks the patient to transmit, the monitor is simply connected to a regular phone line, the antenna is held over the implanted heart device, and the transmit button is pushed. The patient monitor sends the implanted device information and turns itself off when done.

The SA606 is a low voltage high performance monolithic FM IF system incorporating a mixer/oscillator, two limiting intermediate frequency amplifier blocks, quadrature detector, logarithmic Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), voltage regulator and audio and RSSI op amps.

The SA606 remote monitoring receiver operates from 60kHz to 80kHz, using the IF limiting amplifier and RSSI portion of the RF-IF device to amplify and output the amplitude shift keyed (ASK) data to an ADC in a MCU. The MCU has a DSP which is used to resolve pertinent information in the ASK data signal and output the patient’s data and preferred system protocols.

Future Electronics Promotes PCT2075 Thermal Sensors from NXP

Leave a comment

Pointe Claire, Quebec (realtimepressrelease) September 16, 2015 – Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, promotes the PCT2075 family of thermal sensors from NXP.

The PCT2075 family of thermal sensors serves a wide range of applications, from precision laboratory grade instruments to safety and maintenance monitoring in many industrial systems, as well as wearables. The heart in each case is the sensor IC, which converts local temperatures to digital data sent over the popular I2C bus. Reliable and repeatable temperature measurement is easy to add to any system using a small footprint mixed-signal IC, called a thermal sensor. The I2C bus (which probably already exists in the design), and a little firmware overhead complete the design. Measurements are made automatically using the well-known Band Gap analog circuit and a high resolution analog to digital converter, all integrated on a single die.

With a temperature measurement range of -25°C to +100°C, a resolution of 0.125°C (11-bits), initial accuracy of ±1°C, very low power consumption of 200μA at 5V, and very small package footprint, thermal sensors excel in even the most demanding applications running on battery power. An added bonus is the shutdown mode, which reduces power consumption to just one micro-amp.

At the other end of the spectrum, for large installations such as cloud storage, servers, and telecom equipment, a thermal sensor IC monitors ambient temperatures. Energy conscious systems can measure temperature rises inside cabinets and plenums, anticipate required air flow, and control variable speed fans that provide cooling while conserving energy. Demand for multi-point temperature measurements, requiring more than one thermal sensor IC, are easily accommodated thanks to expanded addressing for the individual thermal sensors. This is important for applications such as LED backlighting in large LCD panels, blade PCBs with multiple high density and hot ICs, and high speed memory arrays found in emerging solid state drives (SSDs).

The latest thermal sensors offer up to 27 unique addresses using just three address pins on these popular 8-pin devices. When size is a premium the tiny TSOP6 package is only 2.9 x 1.5 x 1.0mm, yet offers three unique addresses, allowing interconnection of multiple devices on the same I2C bus. Mixed-signal IC temp sensors have programmable registers for an over-temperature alarm, with a dedicated hardware output. This feature provides a failsafe system shutdown, even if the communication bus or processor monitoring the thermal sensor is disabled as a consequence of the rising temperature fault condition. A programmable ‘queue’ (number of violations before triggering an alarm) stops nuisance tripping of the alarm when temperatures fluctuate around the set trip point.
