Freescale Introduces Healthcare Analog Front End Reference Platform

The Freescale Healthcare AFE reference platform is a highly integrated HW/SW development platform, that helps reduce system cost, board size and complexity. The platform is built around the Kinetis K53 MCU which includes an integrated analog front end (AFE) featuring everything needed to capture biometric sensor data. The integrated AFE contains a precise voltage reference, four high performance amplifiers and two high-resolution ADC and DAC modules. (Photo: Business Wire)

The Freescale Healthcare AFE reference platform, which is based on Freescale's Tower System, includes the software and hardware needed to demonstrate or prototype an electrocardiograph (ECG), heart rate monitor, pulse oximeter, blood glucose monitor, blood pressure monitor, spirometer or a Doppler ultrasound stethoscope. Application specific plug in boards allow the user to choose their application and level of integration. Pictured here is the MED-BPM for blood pressure monitors attached to a Freescale Tower System.
