ADI’s meter-on-a-chip offers passive and active
sensor fusion functionality for next-generation point-of-care
diagnostics, home/self-test health products, and vital signs
monitoring.
Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI) unveiled today a
high-precision, low-power meter-on-a-chip for a range of portable
health applications such as point-of-care diagnostics,
home/self-test health devices, and wearable vital signs monitors,
including those for sports and fitness. The ADuCM350 single-chip,
scalable platform combines a 16-bit accurate analog front-end
(AFE), which includes a configurable multi-sensor switch matrix,
hardware waveform generator and discrete Fourier transform (DFT)
engine, with a processing subsystem and an industry-standard
software development environment to support a complete product
development roadmap. The ADuCM350 meter-on-a-chip offers easy
connectivity to passive and active sensors and supports sensor
fusion functionality that enables exceptionally accurate
measurements of human physiological data even in the presence of
interferers.

meter-on-a-chip optimized for portable health applications such as
point-of-care diagnostics, remote health/vital signs monitoring and
home/self-test health meters. (Photo: Business Wire)

“The ADuCM350 meter-on-a-chip supports a wide range of portable
healthcare applications ranging from wearable health monitoring
devices, such as smart watches and sophisticated pedometers, to
point-of-care diagnostics that shorten hospital stays and make
possible high quality monitoring in the home,” said Patrick
O’Doherty, vice president, Healthcare Group, Analog Devices. “The
ADuCM350 offers exceptional accuracy and integration on-chip making
it ideally suited for designing portable products that monitor
health and wellness.”
ADuCM350 Meter-on-a-chip Optimized for System-level
Performance
The ADuCM350 is optimized for system-level performance and
signal measurement accuracy, including those monitoring devices
powered by a single coin-cell battery, and features a precision AFE
with a 16-bit accurate, 160-kSPS A/D converter, +/-0.2% accurate
voltage reference, and a 12-bit D/A converter.
Passive complex impedance sensing on the ADuCM350 enables
baseline detection and detailed information of physiological,
biological and electrochemical reactions, at levels previously
unattainable. The fusion of passive and active sensors provides an
additional level of signal measurement accuracy, and
environmentally robust capacitance-to-digital technology on-chip
supports new use cases such as skin electrode detection and
next-generation electrochemical test strip technologies. The
precision AFE performs auto-calibration ensuring accurate,
repeatable measurements in the field for the life of the
product.
Scalable Development Platform Supports Rapid Feature
Expansion
The ADuCM350 healthcare meter-on-a-chip is a flexible platform
that supports full product development roadmaps from entry-level to
feature-rich devices. Sensor fusion functionality allows designers
to expand product measurement capabilities. For example, the
ADuCM350 platform can support calorie burn applications by
combining galvanic skin response for heart rate and respiration,
with an ultra-low-power 3-axis MEMS accelerometer for altitude and
motion detection. An extensive peripheral set of communication I/O
including USB, audio, display, serial and touch supports
differentiation and rapid feature expansion. The ADuCM350 AFE
sequencer enables designers to develop the software for a
measurement procedure only once and then reliably port it across an
entire product family.
