As an example, O'Doherty discussed two eight-channel (octal) ultrasound receivers recently introduced by ADI. One offers the industry's lowest terminated noise for high- and mid-end cart-based ultrasound equipment that needs superior image quality, and the other is the most power-efficient device in its class for addressing the requirements of portable ultrasound systems. Both are examples of the highest level of integration available to ultrasound system manufacturers, with many key functions previously only available in discrete form, now provided on a single chip and designed to optimize ultrasound system performance.
Tom O'Dwyer took part in a panel discussion that focused on the topic, "The Next Semiconductor Opportunity: Medical Electronics and Systems." O'Dwyer and other medical electronics experts discussed state-of-the-art semiconductor technology as well as significant emerging trends affecting the design of new medical devices. Topics covered included ultra-low-power device and system design, system requirements and specifications, emerging applications, market opportunities and component technologies.
