Ultra-Low-Power Wireless Transceiver Chip For Implantable Medical Devices
The ZL70103 is an ultra-low-power RF transceiver chip from Microsemi that supports a very high data rate RF link for use in implanted medical devices, base stations, and other implantable communication applications. This half-duplex communications link is designed to operate in the 402-405 MHz MICS band, otherwise known as the Medical Implantable Communications Service band, which is a subset of the designated MedRadio frequency band.
The ZL70103 delivers key performance, integration benefits, and a unique design which allows data to be transmitted quickly with little impact to the battery life of the implanted device. With high flexibility and a wide range of high-performance data rates, the chip is able to provide significantly enhanced link budgets for difficult use cases such as deep implants or longer range applications. The ZL70103 is ideal for use in RF telemetry systems including pacemakers, ICDs, neurostimulators, drug pumps, and other implantable sensors and diagnostic devices.
