Digital Healthcare

Ultra Fast Isolation for Medical and Industrial Video Applications

Medical applications require isolation between surgical sensors or devices, patients and the mains. When interconnecting surgical devices with main's powered displays, the previously required high bandwidth isolation was not available. Similar safety challenges prevented interfacing patient care equipment with external non-medical-grade displays. Explore new possibilities with ADI's high speed isolators and reference designs, which seamlessly isolate HDMI and high speed USB (480Mbps), driving improvements in medical electronics. These designs enable smaller form factors in surgery and allow for regular commercial displays and high speed USB peripherals to be used with patient care equipment.

The insights awaken novel possibilities for data analysis, operational insights, and productivity improvements through a converged Ethernet network from the condition monitoring sensor to the cloud or private server. Learn how ADI’s latest digital output 3-axis MEMS vibration and shock sensor combines with a 10BASE-T1L MAC PHY for long reach Ethernet connectivity while also delivering power to the sensor on the same two wires.

4 mA to 20 mA Current Loop Solution

The LT8618 buck converter is a high efficiency and extremely compact power solution to power 4-20mA current loops. Because the input current is limited to 4mA, efficiency is critical in providing maximum load current to the sensor.

Power and Connect Remote Sensor Nodes

Harvesting small amounts of otherwise wasted heat using a thermoelectric device (uTEG) can enable wireless, battery free sensing. This demo highlights one such use case: ADI's uTEG powers a CbM node, periodically senses vibration and temperature (ADXL357, ADT7302), and performs an on-board FFT and transmits via BLE. The demo also highlights how I2C or SPI buses can be extended to large distances up to 1200m by using Serial Extenders (LTC4331 or LTC4332). We will have some remote sensors which can be either directly connected to processor card or through an extender with different cable lengths.
