Microchip has formed a Medical Products Group (MPG) to address the emerging challenges of the medical electronics market. Many companies in the medical sector already use Microchip's semiconductors - which include benefits of small package sizes, low power consumption, and simple ways to add connectivity such as Ethernet, USB, ZigBee, IrDA and controller area networking (CAN).

Many companies in the medical sector already use Microchip's semiconductors - which include benefits of small package sizes, low power consumption, and simple ways to add connectivity such as Ethernet, USB, ZigBee, IrDA and controller area networking (CAN).
According to the company, the $100 bn worldwide medical market, which is growing at around 15% a year, is seeing a general trend of personal diagnostic and therapeutic devices becoming mass-market consumer products, and its broad portfolio of products for embedded systems is ideally suited to address the specific needs of this medical device market.
Specific application examples include implanted devices such as cardiac rhythm management, neural stimulation, drug delivery and bariatric therapy; portable devices including diagnostic imaging, oxygen therapy and patient monitoring; home-use devices such as vital-sign monitoring, disease management, rehabilitation, compliance monitoring and medical information terminals; and security including authentication of consumables and data confidentiality.
Microchip has developed a comprehensive online Medical Design Centre, located at www.microchip.com/medical, which includes four main categories: Data Acquisition, User Interface, Processing and Connectivity. Each of these sections contains application notes, design guides, reference manuals, user guides, 'tips and tricks' documents, and detailed product and development tool information.
