TI and Logic launches dedicated to medical development kit

2008 June 12, Texas instruments (TI) and Logic combined with a dedicated to accelerate medical product launch process of new development kit, so you can fully satisfy the consumers on medical product shape smaller, ease of use and higher requirements.

This latest Zoom ™ Medical OMAP35x Development Kit and matching system module (SOM) using TI OMAP35x processors, enabling developers to very low cost to design and produce ultra small form factor of the medical, industrial and other embedded applications.

The Development Kit enables medical products company to easily developed have many advanced features and sophisticated integrated medical devices, such as advanced graphical user interface, intelligent real-time physiological treatment and patient monitoring and data logging applications of wired and wireless connectivity, the above characteristics are in a highly flexible low-cost software development environment.

In addition, the development kit for SOM design also allows for rapid commissioning, which helps to avoid cumbersome trial or product launches.

TI low power processor business marketing medical and business development manager Srik Gurrapu said: "of the TI IC's innovative solutions enable customers to achieve greater flexibility, lower prices and greater ease-of-the-art medical equipment.

Based on the OMAP35x platform SOM module will not only help medical customer quick start development work, but also be able to take full advantage of the high performance and low power consumption with unique advantages. In the development kit using the SOM module can significantly speed up the development process of medical customers, thereby reducing the development investment and development risks. ”

OMAP ™ processor promoting medical products to innovative and easy-to-direction, can drive these modules of TI OMAP35x processors feature integrated ARM ® Cortex ™-A8 core, TMS320C64x + ™ digital signal processor (DSP), 2D/3D graphics engine and video accelerator and many other components to the handheld power levels of realization of the laptop's performance.

By OMAP35x SOM suite will high performance processor and storage and connection (wired and wireless) subsystem, as well as full integration of operating system, developers can easily and quickly be performance superior products to market.

Logic product marketing manager Kurt Larson said: "the OMAP35x SOM for medical and other embedded market have a huge advantage.

Since the OMAP35x adopts high-performance, low-power ARM processor, customers even in strict power consumption constraints but also performance and peripheral functions to achieve maximum advantage. ”

OMAP35x 0.4 mm pitch BGA package, and supports cascading package (Package-On-Package) feature so that the memory installed in the top of the OMAP35x processors.

This allows device manufacturers to address medical and other embedded applications delivery size minimum, minimum power consumption. This class encapsulates often require complex design and manufacturing process, but SOM module greatly simplifies these tasks.

Significantly speed up the development of SOM system to production process Logic will place the OMAP35x processors SOM-LV Type III mini module.

OMAP35x SOM size 31 x 76.2 x 7.4 mm (1.22 x 3 x 0.29), small enough to put in any application, and highly integrated in today's embedded products all necessary development interface, such as Bluetooth ® 2.0 + EDR, 802 .11b/g Wireless Ethernet, USB OTG 2.0, 24bpp LCD controller and TFT 4-wire touch screen.

In addition to providing the most advanced technology, Zoom Medical OMAP35x development kit with a variety of operating system used, contains the Windows ® CE Linux, and Green Hills.

In addition, a variety of BSP also enables developers to choose the most consistent with its cost and other design requirements of the operating system. Availability Zoom Medical OMAP35x Development Kit (TMDXMEVM3503-L) is now starting to limit supply, will be held on the third quarter of 2008 onwards a comprehensive listing.

OMAP35x SOM through Logic distribution network for batch manufacturing supply.

Standard SOM configuration as follows: • SOMOMAP3530-10-1672IFCR oOMAP35x processor, 128 MB DDR SDRAM, 256 MB NAND Flash memory, 8 MB NOR Flash, 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, wired Ethernet, audio, touch screen; • SOMOMAP3530-10-1670EFCRoOMAP35x processor, 128 MB DDR SDRAM, 256 MB NAND Flash, audio, touch screen

Both modules are SOM-LV Type III package (31 x 76.2 x 7.4 mm).
