How do you assess MCU performance for Medical applications?

Hello,

I'd like to gather some advice on designing new medical devices.

How do you assess the performance of the latest MCU’s which integrate analog peripherals, connectivity, user interface, …for your medical application without spending too much time and effort?

How do you validate the architecture of your next generation product knowing the increasing complexity with the addition of sensors, connectivity and Rich User interfaces?

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi Capitol

This is a very good point. As preliminary answer, I would say it depends of the type of Medical Application you are looking for ( Portable Medical; Diagnostic and Therapy; Imaging). However, the best way to safe time would be to start by a reference design. On Freescale site (http://freescale.com/medical) which is a provider of high quality technical solutions that enable the development of breakthrough medical system, you can find an Activity Monitor Reference Design. I think this is for you a good starting point to assess/evaluate performance you need for your own Medical Application you are looking for developing.

Last point but not the least, I would encourage you to attend the Medical webinar organized by Freescale the 25th of October at the following URL (http://www.element14.com/community/events/3102)
