Improving Lives with Digital Healthcare 14 Ensuring High-Quality Data Because brain signals are so small, the entire electronic signal chain is prioritized in its design to minimize noisy, spurious, or artifact signals. The patient might induce these sources through their physical movements, sweating, eye movements, heart rhythms, and the like. Electrical errors can result from 50Hz/60Hz noise, electrode-skin contact issues, and cable movements. Successful electronic component selection will focus on utilizing high-precision, low-noise, high- resolution signal chain products. Low-noise amplifiers (LNA), unity-gain buffers, and precision analog-to- digital converters (ADCs) are chosen to prevent the introduction of unwanted signals into the chain while providing the ability to resolve data accurately and reliably correctly. Differential amplifiers and bandpass filters are also employed to ensure only high-quality data is transmitted. Appropriate connectors and jumpers are needed to get accurate signals into and out of the brain. Let's look at how Molex provides these solutions. Connecting into the Brain Molex 0.25mm-Pitch Premo-Flex Jumpers offer reliable connectivity in a compact design for tight packaging applications. The jumpers deliver durable, ultra-flexible, cost-effective solutions for printed circuit board (PCB) connections in virtually any industry. These FFC/FPC jumpers are available in standard lengths, pitches, and circuit sizes to accommodate a wide range of flexible interconnect requirements between two PCBs. Molex 0.25mm-Pitch Premo-Flex Jumpers are ideal for medical applications, including patient monitoring for signals, including the body's condition, surgical equipment, and telehealth. Molex 0.25mm Pitch Easy-On FPC Connectors offer a 50V voltage rating, 50MΩ insulation resistance, and 150VAC dielectric withstanding voltage. These connectors provide designers with a range of sizes and styles to accommodate other PCB components. Molex 0.25mm Pitch Easy-On FPC Connectors are ideal for next-generation medical devices.
