Diagnostic and Therapy Devices<br />

• Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)—Maximum<br />

amount of additional air that can be inspired<br />

at the end of a normal inspiration (2500 ml)<br />

• Expiratory reserve volume (ERV)—The<br />

maximum volume of additional air that can<br />

be expired at the end of a normal expiration<br />

(1500 ml)<br />

• Residual volume (RV)—The volume of air<br />

remaining in the lungs after a maximum<br />

expiration (1500 ml)<br />

These measurements can be used in the<br />

following equations to express lung capacities:<br />

• Total lung capacity (TLC)<br />

TLC=RV+IRV+TV+ERV (6000 ml)<br />

• Vital capacity (VC)<br />

VC=IRV+TV+ERV=TLC-RV (4500 ml)<br />

• Functional residual capacity (FRC)<br />

FRC=RV+ERV (3000 ml)<br />

• Inspiratory capacity (IC)<br />

IC=TV+IRV (3000 ml)<br />

AN4325: Spirometer Demo<br />

with <strong>Freescale</strong> MCUs<br />

The contents of this application note show<br />

how it is possible to use the Kinetis K50, Flexis<br />

S08MM and Flexis MCF51MM MCUs along<br />

with the <strong>Freescale</strong> Tower System to implement<br />

a device capable to quantify human respiration<br />

capacities, by measuring volumes and flow<br />

rates. It uses the MED-SPI development<br />

board, which is an analog front end designed<br />

to enable the prototyping of spirometry<br />

devices.<br />

<strong>Freescale</strong> offers the following devices that<br />

generate graphics. These devices can be used<br />

to illustrate lung volume.<br />

• Kinetis MCUs<br />

The Kinetis K70 MCU family includes<br />

512KB-1MB of Flash memory, a single<br />

precision floating point unit, and a Graphic<br />

LCD Controller that supports color QVGA<br />

displays as single chip or up to 24-bit SVGA<br />

• Vybrid Controller Solutions<br />

Part of the Vybrid platform, the VF7xx<br />

family of devices are dual heterogeneous<br />

class core optimized power-performance<br />

core with very high integration. The VF7xx<br />

devices have been designed to replace at<br />

least the MPU and the MCU products on a<br />

system needing Rich HMI plus Real Time<br />

control at the same time.
