Featured products HMx011 Integrated diagnostic-quality bio-potential acquisition IC with 1, 2 or 3 differential channels The HMx01D devices are fully integrated, diagnostic-quality bio-potential acquisition systems with 1, 2 or 3 differential channels. A fully-integrated high-pass filter removes the half-cell DC value so the channels work with the AC component only. Each channel provides high resolution and low-noise conversion of bio-potential signals up to 10 kHz. The input connection circuit matrix guarantees maximum flexibility in terms of electrodes, cables and connectors. The D versions...

STHV748 Integrated high-performance ultrasound pulse controller The STHV748 is a quad, high-voltage fully-monolithic pulser IC mainly intended for medical ultrasound imaging applications. An ultrasound imaging system transmits ultrasound waveforms generated from a piezoelectric transducer. As soon as the transmission ends, the same transducer is then switched to receive mode and the echoes, are then converted into lowvoltage signals. These signals are further conditioned, followed by post processing, to give the final image. The STHV748 correctly drives the piezoelectric transducer during the...

This 9 degrees-of-freedom inertial system represents a fully integrated solution that can be used in numerous applications such as virtual reality, augmented reality, image stabilization, human machine interfaces, robotics and inertial body tracking. A complete...

MP34DT01 High-performance, low-power digital MEMS microphone with 63 dB SNR The MP34DT01 is an ultra-compact, low-power, omnidirectional, digital MEMS microphone built with a capacitive sensing element and an IC interface. The sensing element that detects the acoustic waves is manufactured using a special silicon micromachining process dedicated to produce audio sensors. The IC interface is manufactured using a CMOS process so that a dedicated circuit may be designed to provide a digital signal externally in PDM format. The MP34DT01 has an acoustic overload point of 120 dBSPL with a 63 dB signal-to-noise...

M24LR16E and M24LR64E Dual Interface EEPROM The M24LR16E and M24LR64E feature both an I2C and an RF interface, and so provide the flexibility to remotely program or update electronic products anytime during their lifetime and anywhere in the supply chain. RFID and NFC compatible, they are used to read measurements from portable healthcare applications and update the configuration data of clinical devices without powering on the device. They also feature an innovative energy harvesting function which can enable battery-less designs or greatly improve battery lifetime. interface 1.8 to 5.5 V wide...
