EA311 - System dimensioning and design

The design of an electrocardiogram (ECG) acquisition system will be used to illustrate the dimensioning, design and validation of an electronic system.

The design of an electrocardiogram (ECG) acquisition system will be used to illustrate the dimensioning, design and validation of an electronic system.

By the end of the module, students will have gained experience in:
- selecting and sizing function blocks according to the needs of the customer's project;
- designing function blocks in detail (in particular using the possibilities offered by SPICE tools);
- developing validation and testing procedures;
- writing technical documents to report on the progress of design work.

This teaching module will cover, possibly in a practical way:
- a brief overview of the specifics of ECG signals and system requirements (including regulations);
- study of function blocks (e.g. patient protection, "straight leg pilot", electrode misconnection detection, etc.).);
- noise analysis;
- bill of materials and cost analysis;
- power consumption analysis;
- layout considerations (electromagnetic compatibility, spacing and isolation distance, etc.);
- technical files (e.g. design file, manufacturing file, validation file, etc.).

Comments:
Some parts of this module may relate to or involve other teaching modules. Depending on progress throughout the module, students may be asked to design or implement some of the functional blocks.

At the end of the module, the students will have got an experience in:
* choosing and dimensioning functional blocks based on client requirements;
* designing functional blocks (in particular using SPICE tools);
* designing validation and testing procedures;
* reporting the progress of their work through the writing of technical documents.

This teaching module will address, possibly through hands-on exercises:
* brief overview of ECG signals specifics and the system requirements (including regulations);
* study of the functional blocks (e.g. patient protection, right leg driver, lead-off detection, etc.).);
* noise analysis;
* bill of materials and cost analysis;
* power consumption analysis;
* layout considerations (electromagnetic compatibility, clearance and creepage distance, etc.);
* technical files (e.g. design dossier, fabrication file, validation file, etc.).

Comments:

Some parts of this module may relate to or involve other teaching modules. Depending on the progress throughout the module, the implementation or the layout of some of the functional blocks may be given to the students.
