A critically important subset of medical diagnostic equipment, imaging equipment provides information about organs and tissues, providing the medical staff with an incredibly rich set of data to support the diagnostics process.
Medical imaging equipment including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines can be extremely complex, bulky, and very power hungry. Designers must ensure that these important medical devices are extremely reliable and guarantee safety to both patients and staff as well as be extremely accurate in the detection and generation of electric signals used for image generation.
ST offers a broad range of products including ultra-low-power STM32 microcontrollers, high-efficiency power management ICs as well as high-performance operational amplifiers and comparators and protection devices together with a range of motor control solutions and specifically designed high-voltage mixed signal ICs for the generation of the high-frequency patterns required in ultrasonography systems.
