醫(yī)療開發(fā)套件（MDK）

A number of emerging medical applications such as electrocardiography (ECG), digital stethoscope, and pulse oximeters require DSP processing performance at very low power. The TMS320C5515 digital signal processor (DSP) is ideally suited for such applications. The C5515 is a member of TI’s C5000™ fixed-point DSP platform. To enable the development of a broad range of medical applications on the C5515, Texas Instruments has developed an MDK based on the C5515 DSP. A typical medical application includes:

• An analog front end, including sensors to pick up signals of interest from the body

• Signal processing algorithms for signal conditioning, performing measurements and running analytics on measurements to determine the health condition

• User control and interaction, including graphical display of the signal processing results and connectivity to enable remote patient monitoring

The MDK is designed to support complete medical applications development. It includes the following elements:

• Analog front-end boards (FE boards) specific to the key target medical applications of the C5515 (ECG, digital stethoscope, pulse oximeter), highlighting the use of the TI analog components for medical applications

• C5515 DSP evaluation module (EVM) main board

• Medical applications software including example demonstrations

MDK Hardware Overview

An electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) is the recording of the electrical activities of the heart and is used in the investigation of heart disease. The electrical waves can be measured by selectively placed electrodes (electrical contacts) on the skin.

The key features of the MDK ECG system are:

• 12 lead ECG output using 10 electrode input

• Defibrillator protection circuitry

• Diagnostic quality ECG with bandwidth of 0.05 Hz to 150 Hz

• Heartbeat rate display

• Leads off detection

• Real-time 12 lead ECG waveform display on EVM LCD screen, one lead selectable at a time

• Zoom option for the Y-axis (amplitude) on EVM LCD screen

• Real-time 12 lead ECG waveform display on PC, three leads at a time

• Zoom function on X-axis (time) and Y-axis (amplitude) on PC application

• Freeze screen option on PC Application

• Recording of ECG data and offline view option of recorded ECG data on PC application Several elements of the MDK ECG system are:

• C5515 EVM

• ECG front-end board

• ECG cable

1）C5515 EVM

The EVM comes with a full compliment of on-board devices that suit a wide variety of application environments.

For further details on the C5515 EVM, see the Medical Devlopment Kit provided with your EVM.

Key components and interfaces of the C5515 EVM used in the MDK ECG system include:

• Texas Instrument’s TMS320C5515 operating at 100 MHz

• User universal serial bus (USB) port via the C5515

• Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) /serial peripheral interface (SPI) electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM)

• External memory interface (EMIF), I2C, universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART), SPI interfaces

• SAR

• External IEEE Standard 1149.1-1990, IEEE Standard Test Access Port and Boundary-Scan Architecture (JTAG) emulation interface

• Embedded JTAG controller
• Color LCD display

• Keys (user switches)

The EVM operates from a + 5 V external power supply or battery and is designed to work with TI’s Code Composer Studio™ integrated development environment (IDE). Code Composer Studio communicates with the EVM board through the external emulator, or on-board emulator.

2）ECG Front-End Board

Figure 3 shows the ECG front-end board. The potentials captured by the electrodes are passed through

the defibrillator protection (DP) circuit in the ECG front-end board. Then, the front end board derives 8 out

of 12 ECG leads and provides the digital input to the DSP subsystem. The front-end board can be

interfaced with the EVM board through a universal front-end connector. The front-end board is interfaced

with and powered by the C5515 EVM board through the universal front-end connector by using I2C and

I2S interfaces.

The 16 channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) (ADS1258) on the front-end board is configured for 500

Hz sampling with 24-bit data resolution. ADC is interfaced with the C5515 using the SPI bus.

3）ECG Cable

The ECG cable consists of four limb and six chest electrodes. This cable is connected to the front-end board through the DB15 connector. The ECG electrodes pick up ECG signals from the ECG simulator/patient and send them to the ECG front-end board; an off-the-shelf ECG cable is used. For more details regarding ECG cable
