This paper presents a highly integrated multiprocessor system-on-chip (SoC) design, enabling real-time processing of multi-biomedical signals in a wireless bedside monitoring system. This system includes a real-time online recursive independent component analysis (ORICA) processor to automatically remove brain electroencephalogram (EEG) artifacts signals, a heart rate variability (HRV) analysis processor for monitoring electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, and a basic biomedical signal processor for monitoring common physiological data such as oxygen saturation, blood pressure, or body temperature. The multiprocessor chip is fabricated using TSMC 90 nm CMOS technology, and occupies a core area of 1,600 x 1,600 um 2 . Simulated power consumption is 15.89 mW under the conditions of 1.0V core supply voltage and 64 MHz clock operation frequency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
