Low Power Medical Device
Low Power Medical Device Summary DMC designed an electronic gauge with extremely low power consumption for a client in the medical industry. Customer Benefits Alarming system for oxygen tanks Easy-to-read gauge per device Lengthened battery life of the device Technologies Buzzer LCD Pressure Sensor Potentiometer Silicon Labs ARM M3 Microprocessor Solution A client in the medical industry wanted to replace the analog gauge on their oxygen tanks with an electronic gauge requiring very low power consumption because it's battery-powered. They also wanted the ability to display information beyond the tank pressure. DMC developed an embedded architecture made for very low-power applications. Optimizations within the rmware leverage the low-powercapabilities. Low-power modes on the chip turn o
