Design Challenges TIDA-010005 Solves
Design Challenge: Low noise, highly integrated signal path for ECG with lead-off and pace detection:
to detect amplitude, rise time, width and polarity for diagnostics with different makes of Pacemaker

• Pace signals have specific characteristics:


Amplitude: 2 mV to 700 mV
Rise Time: 10 µs to 200 µs
Pulse Duration: 100 µs to 2 ms
Polarity: +Ve or -Ve
• Major difficulty comes due to the small
amplitude, narrow-width and varying slope of
the pulse accompanied with noise consisting
of: the ECG signal itself, noise from muscle
movement due to beating of heart and
breathing, 50/60 Hz pickup from the
surroundings

25
Proposed Solution

Rise Time Measurement Scheme Pulse Duration Measurement Scheme


In order to define a ‘valid’ pace pulse, the system discriminates various signals by comparing it
to the user defined thresholds. The criteria for the same is:
• Amplitude > VAmp_th
• VRT_min < Rise Time Measure (VRT) < VRT_max
• VPT_min < Pulse Duration Measure (VPT) < VPT_max
VAmp_th, VRT_min, VRT_max, VPT_min and VPT_max comes from the DAC

Design Challenges TIDA-01580 Solves
Design Challenge #1:
Integration of multiple modalities at optimum SNR levels and small form factor

• Capturing synchronized ECG and PPG to


enable PTT and BP calculations (non-
invasive and without cuff)
• Pulse Transit Time (PTT): Time difference
between the R-peak in the ECG waveform
and the arrival of the blood pressure wave
• Simultaneous measurement of ECG and
PPG together
• Along with other variables, such as the
patient’s size, weight, age, etc., algorithms
show the correlation between PTT and
systolic blood pressure.
• Challenging to synchronize both
measurements – timing is the key!
(Powering up, clock timing, phase, drift
with temperature)
31
Design Challenges TIDA-01580 Solves
Design Challenge # 2:
BLE connectivity that does not interfere with measurement accuracy

• Signal amplitude: 0.2mV to 2mV


(p-p)
• BW : as broad as 0.05 Hz to 300
Hz (Pace detection increases
the bandwidth further)
• Reject environmental electrical
signals, such as ac mains,
security systems, and RFI to
amplify and display the ECG
signal
• Good CMRR of the signal chain
and Right-leg drive (RLD) for
CM rejection
• Differential- and common-mode
filtering, environmental shielding,
and algorithms

32
Design Challenges TIDA-01580 Solves
Design Challenge # 3:
Extending battery life to multiple days to enable portability & wearability

• Selecting the right power architecture to


enable extended battery life up to 24
hours (for rechargeable batteries) or 7
days (for primary cells)
• Powering with right buck, boost or buck-
boost device instead of directly
powering from battery (bypass modes in
DC/DC converters)
• Sleep / shutdown / standby / deep sleep
modes for radio devices like BLE, Wi-Fi
etc.
• Selection of right battery charger
(charging rate, termination current and
quiescent currents are important!)

33
SHIP mode
• By definition: Ship mode electronically
disconnects the battery from the rest of the
system to minimize power drain while the
SHIP mode
product is idle. When the consumer turns the
product on for the first time, the battery connects
to the rest of the system and stays connected
until the system decides to put itself back into
ship mode.

Out of SHIP mode


• Existing TI collaterals:
– Implementing Ship Mode Using the
TPS22915B Load Switch
– Don’t let your battery drain on the shelf –
use ship mode
– Ship mode reference design (TIDA-
00556)
Example circuit
using load switch
Low-voltage switchers
• For battery operated patches, a buck-boost and/or a boost is required. Few proposed
devices are:

Key Design Challenge: Technical details
IEC60601-1-8 based medical alarm tone generation & coincidence detection

• Provides a solution that can be used for producing auditory


alarms described in the IEC60601-1-8 medical specification.

• With a Low cost microcontroller and some external


hardware, Analog Burst patterns are created. The Rise
and Fall times, the Amplitude ,width and Frequency of
these Bursts are all programmable.

• The Alarm made by the circuit when attached to a Patient


monitor might be indicative of a Medical condition such as
a Heart attack. Therefore it is very important that the Alarm
itself has some kind of monitoring of its operation.

A microphone is Placed close to the speaker and it monitors


the sounds made by the Alarm. If the Actual sound received
by the microphone is not the same as the sound intended by
the circuit an error flag is raised. This is called Coincidence
detection
