NORWOOD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal-processing applications and longtime collaborator with the patient monitoring industry, today introduced a low-power, single-lead, heart-rate monitor analog front end (AFE) for a wide range of vital sign monitoring applications. The AD8232 AFE is 50 percent smaller and uses up to 20 percent less power than competing solutions. The resulting power, size and level of integration enable designers to develop heart rate and cardiac monitor devices for use outside of critical-care settings in areas such as personal health management and remote health monitoring.
