Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC
Heterogeneous multiprocessing platform for a broad range of embedded applications.
Multi-Parameter Patient Monitors
Multi-parameter patient monitors are used in bedsides for patients, in Intensive care units (ICUs), acute care units, and emergency rooms in hospital or clinical settings. They collect and report continuous variables (like an ECG or EEG) and sampled variables like temperature and blood pressure. They can display information, send alarm conditions to alert staff, collect and distribute radiological data, and monitor various life support systems.
Powered by AMD Adaptive SoCs
At the heart of a typical modern bedside multi-parameter patient monitor is a powerful system-on-chip like the AMD Zynq™ Ultrascale+™ MPSoC. Zynq SoCs enable single, dual, or quad core configurations, along with wired or wireless connectivity to biometric analog modules, flash storage, USB, and support for high resolution local displays. Patient monitors are battery operated with a wall outlet, network enabled, and need the capability to send secure data to a hybrid/private cloud for analytics and storage.
High Performance, Low Power Patient Monitors
Shown here is a high-level block diagram depicting a smart, connected, high performance and low power patient monitor with a dual or quad core Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC, with an optimally configured fabric depending on the performance-per-watt and price/cost trade-offs.
Benefits
The processing systems in Zynq UltraScale+ adaptive SoC devices are very powerful. A complex architecture could support using a hypervisor with guest OS versions running Linux for a variety of tasks like control plane, monitoring, diagnostics, and analytics. Many supported commercial RTOS like QNX Neutrino, VxWorks or ThreadX or open source like Micrium or SafeRTOS can be used for real-time tasks.
- Real-time signal processing
- Safety implementation potentially with TMR offering low risk and high reliability using the 3 separate power domains offered by the SoC
- Support for all sensory types with flexible customizable I/O
- An integrated xADC block for simple sensors and direct analog sensory connection with enhanced digital filtering, lower latency sensor monitoring and a high speed parallel digital interface to the FPGA fabric
