Medical Implant ICs for Pacemakers

Systems designers rely on the expertise and knowledge Microsemi has amassed over five decades in developing custom pacemaker and surge protection chips. Consuming between 10 and 40 microwatts from an internal cell, modern pacemakers remain implanted, regulating the patient’s cardiac rhythm 24-7, for seven or more years on a single pacemaker power source. Microsemi’s ultra-low power chips extend implanted device battery operating life, providing the utmost reliability, and reducing a medical product’s weight and size.

With a RF MICs transceiver inside a pacemaker, data can be sent and received to a base station at home then forwarded to a physician’s office where it can be read by doctors to diagnose any abnormalities recorded by the pacemaker. Microsemi’s modules and transceivers provide durability and stronger data transfer abilities, allowing better patient care. Implantable devices must also be able to withstand electrical surges, such as those caused by medical treatments like defibrillation. Microsemi’s surge protection devices for implantable medical electronics are optimized for fast turn-on and extremely low leakage current, ensuring high-performance and reliability.
