Peak-current mode feature provides a choice of control schemes (PWM/PCM/DCM) with built-in compensation to reduce external component count. Programmable soft-start reduces input inrush current, and output enable/undervoltage lockout permits power-up at desired input voltage.

 

Blood Pressure Measurement Solution Uses MCU Sensor Hub

 

Maxim Integrated Products has introduced a solid-state blood-pressure monitoring solution to more conveniently track this critical health indicator. Until now, accurate blood-pressure monitoring could only be achieved with bulky and mechanical cuff-based medical devices. Design engineers can develop blood-pressure trending solutions with the MAXREFDES220# reference design from Maxim. Comprised of a complete integrated optical sensor module, a microcontroller sensor hub and a sensing algorithm, the MAXREFDES220# optical blood-pressure trending solution can be embedded into smartphones or wearables. It enables users to place their finger on a device for 30-45 seconds while resting to measure blood pressure anywhere and anytime. The reference design includes the MAX30101 or MAX30102 high-sensitivity optical sensor, as well as the MAX32664D sensor hub IC with built-in algorithms.

Low-Cost MCUs Feature Wireless Connectivity

STMicroelectronics (ST) has released its STM32WB50 Value Line wireless MCUs that are a full and pin-compatible derivative of ST's STM32WB55 SoC. The device was created to serve cost-sensitive connected devices that need to support BLE, ZigBee 3.0 or

OpenThread. The devices offer a good link budget from 100dB in BLE mode up to 104dB in 802.15.4 mode.
