Signal Conditioning<br />

Signal conditioning can be implemented using<br />

a band-pass filter to reject noise. Using an<br />

active filter, the signal can be conditioned<br />

to determine values. For details about filter<br />

design, refer to the Appendix.<br />

The signal at the output of the band-pass filter<br />

is sent to a phase-locked loop to generate<br />

a frequency-dependent voltage. The phaselocked<br />

loop must be configured so that the<br />

frequency of the look-in range matches the<br />

band-pass filter bandwidth. This signal is<br />

applied to an input of the analog-to-digital<br />

converter embedded on the MCU.<br />

LCD Display<br />

The MCU is responsible for processing<br />

the information acquired according to an<br />

algorithm and displaying the data on an<br />

LCD screen. <strong>Freescale</strong> provides 8-bit MCUs<br />

with embedded LCD controllers such as the<br />

MC9S08LL, MC9RS08LE, MC9RS08LA and<br />

MC9S08LC families. Ultra-low-power MCUs<br />

with LCD drivers are in the LL family. On the<br />

high end, consider Kinetis or Vybrid MCUs.<br />

and connections, see Chapter 6, Blood<br />

K50 Measurement MCUs<br />

The K50 MCU family is pin, peripheral and<br />

software compatible with other Kinetis MCUs<br />

and provides designers with an analog<br />

measurement engine consisting of integrated<br />

operational and transimpedance amplifiers<br />

and high-resolution ADC and DAC modules.<br />

The family also features IEEE 1588 Ethernet<br />

and hardware encryption, full-speed USB<br />

2.0 On-The-Go with device charger detect<br />

capability and a flexible low-power segment<br />

LCD controller with support for up to 320<br />
