Featured Products
Pulse Ox
The AFE44x0SPO2EVM is intended for evaluating AFE4400 and AFE4490 devices. The family of devices are fully integrated AFE ideally suited for Pulse Oximeter applications and consist of low noise receive channel, the LED transmit section and diagnostics for sensor and LED fault detection.
The TMS320C5515 DSP evaluation module (EVM) is a low cost, feature rich development platform designed to speed the evaluation process of Texas Instruments' four latest lowest power C55x DSPs, TMS320C5515, TMS320C5514, TMS320C5505A and TMS320C5504A.
Weigh Scale / Body Composition
AFE4300EVM-PDK is a platform for evaluating the AFE4300 device. AFE4300 is a low cost Analog-Front-End incorporating two separate signal chains, one targeting weight measurement and the other targeting body composition analysis. The EVM provides access for load cell terminals to support up to four load cell inputs for weigh scale measurements, BCM terminals to support up to three tetra-polar complex impedance measurements.
The ADS1232REF is a circuit board that is designed to feature the ADS1232 24-bit delta-sigma, precision low noise, analog-to digital converter. This board contains the entire circuitry and user interface needed for a weigh-scale digitizer.
ECG/EEG
The ADS1299EEGFE-PDK is a demonstration kit for the ADS1299, an eight channel, simultaneous sampling, 24-bit, delta-sigma (Δ Σ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a built-in programmable gain amplifier (PGA), internal reference, and an on-board oscillator. The ADS1299 contains the features commonly required for electroencephalography (EEG) applications.
The ADS1298ECG FE is a reference design for the ADS1298, a simultaneous sampling, 24-bit, delta-sigma (Δ Σ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a built-in programmable gain amplifier (PGA), internal reference, and an onboard oscillator. The ADS1298 incorporates all of the features that are commonly required in medical electrocardiogram (ECG) and electroencephalogram (EEG) applications.
Ultrasound
The AFE5809 is a highly integrated Analog Front-End (AFE) solution specifically designed for ultrasound systems in which high performance and small size are required. The AFE5809 integrates a complete time-gain-control (TGC) imaging path and a continuous wave Doppler (CWD) path.
TheADS5295EVM demonstrates the performance of the low power, 12-bit, 100 MSPS, octal channel ADC device, ADS5295. Low power consumption and integration of multiple channels in a compact package make the ADS5295 attractive for very high channel count data acquisition systems such as Ultrasound.
The TX-SDK-V2 Ultrasound Transmit Solution Evaluation Board demonstrates a comprehensive transmit-side signal path featuring the LM96530 Octal T/R Switch, LM96550 Octal High Voltage Pulser, and LM96570 Octal Digital Beamformer. The digital beamformer serves as the onboard signal generator by outputting programmable digital pulse patterns (an external 40MHz VCXO is included to drive the internal PLL of the beamformer). These output pulse patterns then drive the inputs of the high voltage pulser. The pulser outputs drive both the inputs of the T/R switch, as well as SMA connectors for measuring the high voltage pulsers performance. The outputs of the T/R switches also drive SMA connector output ports for measuring their performance, such as cross-talk.
