A pendulum is a simple mechanical oscillator that swings with a constant amplitude, requiring the addition of energy at each swing only to compensate for the energy lost because of air for Power Optimization AMI Semiconductor AMI Semiconductor is a company engaged the design and manufacture of customer specific integrated circuit solutions, including solutions for the automotive, medical and industrial markets. Among its products are products that integrate processing of analog and digital signals. (Nasdaq:AMIS A·mis , Kingsley 1922-1995. British writer best known for his novels, including Lucky Jim (1954) and Jake's Thing (1978). ), a designer and manufacturer of state-of-the-art integrated mixed-signal products and structured digital products for the automotive, medical and industrial sectors, today announced its AMIS-52100, a next-generation, single-chip wireless transceiver. The AMIS-52100 is the latest member of the low data rate ASTRIC(TM) (Application Specific Transmit and Receive IC) product family. The new chip appeals to sub-500MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. band wireless applications that require clock and data recovery, while particularly attractive to medical implantable devices. Targeting the FDA's Medical Implantable Communications Systems (MICS) standard, the device is optimized for operation in the 402-405MHz frequency band. The MICS band was set-aside in 1999 as an alternative to magnetic coupling. The band outlines a specific radio frequency range for two-way communication Two-way communication is a form of transmission in which both parties involved transmit information. Common forms of two-way communication are:
Communicating accurate information is extremely important especially when it comes to a patient's health. To address this, AMIS built the AMIS-52100 on its robust ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying) modulation technology to include clock and data recovery circuitry. The digital base-band circuit post processes a demodulated binary signal to produce an optimally sampled data bit stream and clock signal that is synchronized with the incoming data, removing jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle concerns and maximizing demodulated data integrity. Additionally, AMIS engineered the AMIS-52100 to include its patent-pending Quick Start oscillator with an extremely fast 15 micro seconds turn-on time that allows the on-board receiver to quickly power up to check for the presence of a signal in its patented Sniff Mode technology. Sniff Mode is register programmable to optimize power conservation and system performance. "Low data rate wireless technologies are a key initiative for AMIS this year and with the success this product can deliver to the medical market, we expect continued growth and advancement in ICs for implantable devices," stated Kirk Peterson, wireless product line manager for AMI Semiconductor. "AMIS works hard to stay on top of the latest FDA FDA abbr. Food and Drug Administration FDA, n.pr See Food and Drug Administration. FDA, n.pr the abbreviation for the Food and Drug Administration. requirements to ensure that our customers get access to real-world applications that are proven and safe. We are proud to offer an IC that optimizes power and provides clock and data recovery, as well as tuneable capabilities for changes to the device without disturbing the patient." The AMIS-52100 will be priced at $1.95 in quantities of 50 thousand units, assuming a 20-lead SSOP SSOP Shrink Small Outline Package SSOP Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (USDA) SSOP Sanitary Standard Operating Procedures SSOP Sharescan-Open Platform (Ecopy) SSOP Site Security Operational Procedures package. Samples and evaluation kits will be available in March 2004. The product is immediately available for ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick."
