Blood Pressure Monitor

A blood pressure monitor inflates a pressure cuff with a pump motor to measure mean arterial pressure and derive systolic and diastolic values using an MCU algorithm. Solution size, accuracy and battery life are primary considerations.

Silicon Labs Solution Customer Benefits

Fast CPU: Fast CPU controls the inflation/deflation algorithm and calculates systolic and diastolic pressure from mean arterial pressure that is measured by the system.

The unit can compute systolic and diastolic pressure very quickly so that a result can be displayed within a reasonable amount of time.

High resolution 16-bit analog to digital converter: The 16-bit ADC is connected directly to a pressure sensor without the need for an additional gain stage.

Accurate measurements with fewer components.
