Adapting power consumption to performance requirements in a MSP430 microcontroller

Microcontroller based low power systems using batteries must run at low clock frequencies with short activity periods to extend battery life. These constraints reduce the microcontroller computational capabilities and limit the complexity of algorithms that can be used. New microcontroller architectures, as the Texas Instruments MSP430 family, allow to adapt power consumption to application performance requirements combining several low power modes with the capability of switching the clock frequency dynamically. A complete characterization of power consumption vs. performance has been obtained for the MSP430. A method to determine the range of clock frequencies that meets a consumption and…

Comparative analysis in terms of computational cost for different discrimination algorithms in implantable defibrillators

Implantable defibrillators (ICDs) use very low computational cost criteria (rate, stability and onset) offering good sensitivity for arrhythmia detection. Although, the specificity of these combined criteria decreases in difficult arrhythmia discrimination as in case of discrimination between ventricular tachycardia (VT) and supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Several morphological published algorithms enhance arrhythmia discrimination but most algorithms are developed in personal computers and cannot be used in ICDs because of computational cost requirements compared with limited ICD capabilities. A general method to determine the possibility of ICD implementation for a discrimination algo…
