Blood presure monitoring using programmable system on chip

Abstract

A Patient Vital Signs Monitor using PSoC has the advantage of emulating most of the required peripherals inside one chip. A single PSoC includes Flash and SRAM memory, an MCU, ADCs, PWM, filters, USB control and capacitive sensing. LCD drive is integrated in the PSoC. Only the pressure transducer and the LCD display are external to PSoC. Clearly, there is an immediate component count reduction, with most peripheral components integrated into the SOC.
