ON Semiconductor, which wields an impressive manufacturing, design and supply chain infrastructure in energy efficient silicon devices from its corporate HQ in Phoenix, AZ, recently received the Electronic Product Design 2011 e-Legacy Award in Medical Advances for their Q32M210 Precision Mixed-Signal 32-bit Microcontroller.
Built on a rock-solid programmable ARM® Cortex™-M3 processor foundation, the Q32M210 delivers maximum code portability, coupled with a low-noise analog front-end that can be configured for whatever product developers need. When it comes to robust, continuous precision measurement in a portable sensing environment, the Q32M210 sets new standards for tight integration, performance and reliability.
Dual 16-bit ADCs deliver high-fidelity voltage reference and triple 10-bit DACs, meaning vastly lower noise than in competing, linear solutions. On-chip power supervision, redundant flash memory storage (error checking/correction circuitry), a variety of peripheral interfaces for external UIs via USB and many other key features make the Q32M210 salient.
The icing on the cake is the energy efficiency profile, bringing high performance at exceptional power efficiency rates; this design effectively results in an extremely flexible, scalable measurement engine that allows for a range of finely tuned price/performance ratios to be set by developers during deployment operations.
Senior Director, Consumer Health Products for ONNN, Michel De Mey, hailed the clear thumbs up from Electronic Product Design as a true honor, noting that it has always been the goal of the Company to be at the tip of the spear in “shaping the future of the medical electronics industry”. De Mey underscored the tremendous potential for burgeoning end-markets like blood glucose monitoring, wireless ECG, pulse oximeters and other portable sensing equipment, pointing to the Q32M210 as a potential silver bullet.
Indeed the device has wide-ranging applications, even in other, non-medical applications, like home-based displays for energy monitoring or even fitness monitoring devices. By fusing together a solution to the real-world concerns of device power consumption and battery life, with a powerful, high-precision measurement engine, ONNN has earned the recognition Electronic Product Design and developers as well.
