1 Overview
The Medical EKG Module (MED-EKG) is a low cost development board that allows users to rapidly
prototype electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG) applications. Users can choose to develop EKG/ECG
applications using the external analog components or by using the Flexis MM microcontroller’s on-chip
analog modules or a mixture of both. MED-EKG is designed to work with the TWR-MCF51MM module
and TWR-S08MM128 module. The EKG/ECG software demonstration and step-by-step lab guide is
available in the both the Tower System TWR-MCF51MM-KIT and TWR-S08MM128-KIT or from
www.freescale.com
NOTE: TWR-MCF51MM-KIT features the 32-bit MCF51MM256 microcontroller and the TWRS08MM128-KIT features the 8-bit MC9S08MM128 microcontroller. Peripherals between these two 32bit and 8-bit MCUs are either identical or compatible; they are called the Flexis devices.
The following list summarizes the features of the MED-EKG board:
• Freescale Tower System compliant and small form factor
• External connector to TWR-S08MM128 and TWR-MCF51MM MCU modules
• Includes the MC56F8006 DSC used for signal conditioning
• Electrodes embedded in development board for easy EKG signal detection using fingertips
• Open connector for any type of EKG electrodes for additional precision
• JTAG-ONCE connector for DSC programming
• Different jumper configurations to allow various signal conditions
• Low power
