STMicroelectronics offers a full range of components
for medical applications. These include advanced STM32
processors, Bluetooth modules and power solutions including
IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors).

STMicroelectronics’ STM32 range of 32-bit Flash microcontrollers
is based on the ARM Cortex™-M3 core. With low voltage (2.0V
to 3.6V) operation, the MCU devices provide extremely low active
power consumption of 0.5mA/MHz and standby currents as low
as 1.4µA.

STM32 family devices use the Thumb-2 instruction set to improve
code density and hence reduce memory requirements, while
delivering deterministic, real-time operation and fast interrupt
response.

To cater for the needs of safety-critical applications,
STMicroelectronics provides a complete suite of self-diagnostic
firmware routines to test STM32 core functions efficiently according
to IEC60335 Type B. Certified by VDE, the routines are ready to
integrate into any application.

STMicroelectronics’ BlueModule products are extremely stable and
reliable Bluetooth core-embedded modules. Available in both Class
1 and Class 2 versions for a choice of long range or low power,
they support protocol layers up to HCI.

Modules are available to comply with Bluetooth v1.2 and v2.0
specifications, including Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) options.
STMicroelectronics Bluetooth products successfully passed the first
set of interoperability tests on the Bluetooth Medical Profile in an
official standardisation committee event.

Modules can be fully controlled using AT commands, implementing
all Bluetooth core protocols and Serial Port Profile (SPP). Typical
applications include continuous monitoring of patient temperature,
respiratory rate, blood oxygenation and heart rate.

Applications such as automated external defibrillators require high-
voltage boost control switching that is best provided by an IGBT.
STMicroelectronics offers a number of components of this type
specifically aimed at medical applications. These include the 1200V
G7NB120SD1, with a specified collector current of 7A and VCE of
2.3V at +70°C. Available packaged or as a bare die, this device will
soon be supplemented by a 2500V device, the STGHixxxN250S,
which shares its low quiescent current characteristics.
