The processor module runs the system software, updates the display, and communicates with peripheral
devices. The processor module has the following four major subsystems:
• S3C2440 processor
• Memory subsystem
• UART subsystem
• Low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) driver

Theory
S3C2440 Processor
The mCare 300 monitor uses the Samsung S3C2440 processor. Some of the special features of the processor
include:
• ARM920T core processor unit
• Separate power supply for the internal logic (1.3 V) and for I/O (3.3 V)

inverter failure, and speaker failure.
Real Time Clock

A real time clock (RTC) peripheral with calendar function is installed inside the S3C2400 processor. The power
to the clock is supplied by an external 3 V Lithium battery. A 32.768 kHz crystal is also installed.

Theory
Synchronous Serial I/O

The synchronous serial input/output (I/O) includes the following:
• Two channel synchronous serial I/O (SPIs). The SPI channel 1 is used for analog ECG signal conversion.
Memory Subsystem
The memory subsystem is directly controlled by the memory controller of the S3C2440 processor. The
memory subsystem includes the following features:
• Flash ROM
• Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM)
• An external oscillator with 12 MHz
• A phase locked loop (PLL) oscillator, inside the processor, that generates 400 MHz of frequency.
• The address space includes 8 memory banks, 128 MB for each bank, for a total of 1 GB of space.
Flash Memory
The flash memory contains all of the code executed by the monitor. The boot code updates the monitor code
by communicating with a PC via a TCP/IP module. The boot code uploads the monitor code from flash memory
and transfers it to SDRAM. It also performs a checksum of the monitor code during the upload process.
The flash memory uses the Intel Strata TE28F128 and stores the following data:
• Main program code
• Trend data
• Users setting values
SDRAM Memory
In normal operation, the CPU executes code directly from SDRAM. The SDRAM is refreshed using its
auto-refresh mode. Using the SDRAM’s periodic timer, an auto refresh command is issued to the SDRAM
every 15.6 s.
SDRAM
The SDRAM includes the following:
• 2 × 16 MB SDRAM. The monitors main program is uploaded to this area for use.

Theory
UART Subsystem
Two four-channel UART chips are used. The processor module has 11 UART channels. Three channels are
located inside the processor. The rest of the eight channels are located outside the processor. The external
quad UART subsystem connects to the main processor by a 16-bit local bus channel configuration as follows:

ECG/Respiration Power Supply

An isolated ±5 V DC power supply is used to power the ECG/Respiration circuits. The ECG region is isolated
electrically from the rest of the Main Board. Refer to Isolation DC/DC Power on page 3-14 for a detailed
description.
ECG Circuits
This section details the ECG circuits for the mCare 300 monitor.
ECG Input
An input buffer is used to generate high input impedance. A three channel instrument amplifier and lead select
switch produce the ECG signal. The three-channel bandpass filter contains a low-pass filter and a high-pass
filter. The low-pass filter removes DC bias; cut off frequency is user selectable (0.05 Hz or 0.5 Hz). The
high-pass filter removes high frequency noise with a fixed cut-off frequency of 40 Hz. The notch filter removes
AC line noise (50 Hz and 60 Hz). A two-stage gain amplifier amplifies the ECG signal by a factor of 250.

Theory
Pace-Pulse Detection
The channel selector selects the valid channel, and sends the signal to a band-pass filter that ensures only the
valid signal is passed. The comparator compares the input signal and the standard values to detect the
pace-pulse. A one-shot multivibrator makes the duration of the pulse longer in order for the MCU to identify the
output pulse from the comparator.
Lead Fail Detection

A low current of several nanoamperes on the input circuitry is injected to the patient's body. If this current is
interrupted, as in a lead-off condition, the output of the input buffer is saturated. AC noise is filtered, and the
comparator detects the lead fail by detecting the saturation of the buffer.
Respiration Circuits
The signal generator injects a 60 kHz sine-wave signal to the patient's body through an isolation transformer.
The respiration signal is then detected in the bridge circuit. The carrier frequency made by the signal generator
is removed by passing through the full-wave rectifier and bandpass filter.
Analog to Digital Converter

A 12-bit Analog to Digital (A/D) converter is used to digitalize the analog ECG and Respiration signals. The
S3C2440 processor receives the data from the A/D converter using SPI communication. The SPI
communication line is isolated using a photocoupler.

Figure 3-4: Temperature block diagram
The mCare 300 monitor temperature circuit supports the use of YSI 400 and YSI 700 temperature probes.
These probes use precision thermistors that exhibit a drop in resistance as temperature increases. The
measurement of the temperature is made by using a slope A/D method which uses the discharge
characteristic of a capacitor and a resistor (the YSI 400 Series or YSI 700 Series thermistor).
The capacitor value is measured with a 0.05% precision resistor prior to the measurement of the temperature.
The capacitor is charged with the power injected to the line connected to the measured capacitor and the
external measured thermistor probe. Upon the completion of the charge, the power is removed and then the
electrical voltage charged on the capacitor is discharged to the thermistor. The discharging time to return to the
reference level is measured by using the comparator and the timer inside the Micro Controller Unit (MCU).

Theory
The measured resistor value is transformed into the temperature unit. The temperature data is delivered to the
CPU via a UART. The UART communication line is isolated with a photocoupler.

The Sub MCU provides the following:

• Watch dog timer
• System power ON/OFF
• Power monitoring
• Sound generation
The Sub MCU controls the two-channel audio amplifier. The first channel is for alarm output. The second
channel is for the key tones. The volume is controlled by using pulse width modulation (PWM) and a regulator.
The Sub MCU will reset the S2C2440 CPU module if the S3C2440 processor does not provide regular
communication. The Sub MCU is powered up when the user turns on the monitor. After the Sub MCU checks
the level of the input power, it powers ON the entire system.
The power can be turned off by S3C2440 processor commands. The Sub MCU communicates with the
S3C2440 CPU Module via a UART.
Power Fail Detection

The Sub MCU monitors the system power to detect any power fail condition. If a failure occurs on the power
system when the system power is ON and the S3C2440 CPU Module is working, a visual and audible alarm is
activated. If the S3C2440 processor is not operational, the Sub MCU creates a buzzing sound.
The power for the Sub MCU can be operational if VCC is supplied to the monitor, even if the system power is
shut down. If the system power is OFF and VCC is less than +6 V, the detection for power fail would not be
activated.

The DC/DC converter module receives +16 V input from the AC/DC module and supplies power to the main
board. The power path controller inside the battery charger module supplies the power to the DC/DC converter
module.
The input power supplies the power to the system via a FET switch. The role of the FET switch is to control the
system power. The FET switch is controlled by the main board on the Sub MCU. The +5 V step down
converter uses a TPS40055. The +12 V step up converter uses a MAXIM MAX1771.
The DC/DC converter module provides the power to the printer through the printer connector, and it by-passes
the following signals outlined in Table 8.

Charging Controller
The charger integrated circuit (IC) is an LTC1760 dual smart battery system manager chip. The LTC1760 can
control and charge two smart batteries (NiMH or Li-Ion). The LTC1760 supports a system management bus
(SMBUS) interface with two batteries.
The LTC1760 also controls the power path control function. The proprietary power path architecture supports
simultaneous charging or discharging of both batteries. The LTC1760 automatically switches between power
sources in less than 10s to prevent power interruption upon battery or power cord removal.
The three power path inputs are as follows:
• Battery1
• Battery2
• AD/DC output.
The LTC1760 provides a host interface function through the SMBUS. The host can select a target for
communication (battery1, battery2, or charger).

Theory
The charger board contains an additional microcontroller (a PIC16F74 MCU) for the charging status display.
When the system power is OFF and AC power is connected, the microcontroller communicates with the
batteries and the charger. The microcontroller acquires information about the charging status, and controls the
two LED battery indicators on the front bezel. The LED flashes at 1 Hz when charging, it stays ON when fully
charged, and flashes at 2 Hz if an error occurs. When the system power is ON and AC power is disconnected,
the microcontroller communicates with the batteries and the charger. The microcontroller acquires information
about the discharging status and controls the battery indicators on the front bezel. When system power is OFF
and the AC power is disconnected, the microcontroller is OFF.
NIBP Modules
The mCare 300 Vital Signs Monitor uses Welch Allyn POEM or Omron for the NIBP parameter module. Both
modules communicate with the S3C2440 processor via a universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART)
and use +3.3 V, +5 V, and +12 V power supplies.
Backlight Inverter
The backlight inverter supplies power to the CCFL lamps in the LCD module. The input voltage is 12 VDC.
The output voltage is 500 Vrms, with an output current of 6 mA.
Liquid Crystal Display

The mCare 300 monitor has a 10.4-inch, 800 × 600 resolution, active matrix TFT color liquid crystal display.
The LVDS video signal is connected to the LCD via a cable from the main board. The pinout of the display
connector (at the display) is provided in Table 9. The backlight power is connected via a separate two-pin
connector from the backlight inverter.

Touch Controller
The touch control module is a HAN TOUCH (HT-ECS4-1). The HT-ECS4-1 communicates with the
S3C2440 CPU module via an UART.
Touchscreen
The touchscreen consists of the following:
• Four-wire resistive touchscreen
• HAN TOUCH (HT-104A-NDOAA72) compatible
Button Board and LED Indicators

The mCare 300 monitor front panel has one power button and three indicator LEDs:
• AC
• Battery1
• Battery2
When you press the power button, a VCC-pass signal triggers the Sub MCU power supply. The Sub MCU
checks the VCC level. If the VCC level is above the reference voltage, the Sub MCU sends power to the
DC/DC converter module.
Three indicators are controlled by the charger module. For location and details of the operation of the LED
indicators, refer to the battery operation section of the mCare 300 Vital Signs Monitor Operations Manual
(P/N 070-1526-xx).
Boot Sequence Overview

The following steps outline the boot sequence for the mCare 300 monitor.
1 When power is supplied, the slave MCU is active.
2 The power button is monitored if the voltage level check is OK.
3 If the power button is pressed and held until you hear three beeps and a chime, the main MCU enters the
main firmware update mode.
4 If the power button is pressed and not held for approximately three seconds, the main MCU starts the
system in normal operation mode.
5 Program execution starts in flash memory.

Theory
6 The boot code is copied from flash memory to SDRAM.

7 Boot loader performs the CRC check for the main application.
8 If the CRC check is OK, the Velos kernel and main application are copied from flash to SDRAM. (The boot
loader and the main application are stored in separate areas of the flash memory.)
9 The main application starts.
10 The Velos kernel is started, and initializes internal/external interrupts, parallel ports, serial ports, and loads
other device drivers.
11 The LCD color palette is created.
12 All variables are initialized.
13 Creates scheduled/unscheduled threads, sets priority and periods.
14 Loads “Setting 1 sector”, checks for a previous abnormal shutdown.

IBP numerical area.

Note:
The mCare 300 monitor compensates for normal transducer offset to set the zero value. If the monitor fails
to zero (displays values other than 0/0 (0), ±2 mmHg), troubleshoot the IBP module by trying to zero with a
different simulator cable. If the zero still fails, try again with another simulator or another mCare 300
monitor to isolate the cause.
7 Using the simulator, choose a series of static pressure values to test within the monitor's IBP measurement
range of from -50 to +300 mmHg (-6.7 to +40 kPa) (for example, 20, 80, 100, 200, and 300 mmHg).
• Test the simulated IBP values one at a time.
• For each static pressure value tested, set the value on the simulator, wait for the IBP value on the
numeric area to stabilize, and verify that the value displayed on the mCare 300 monitor is accurate to
within ±2 mmHg (0.26 kPa) or 2% of the simulator IBP value, whichever is greater.
8 Turn the monitor OFF.

Equipment Required
Electrical Safety Analyzer, Fluke model 232D or equivalent.
These tests should be performed according to the hospital’s scheduling requirements, at least annually or after
repair or modification.
Note:
All tests must be performed according to the safety analyzer’s operations manual, and any local
requirements.
Warning:
Before starting safety tests, ensure that no patient is connected to the device under test.
Ground Resistance
1 Attach the power cord to the monitor under test.
2 Measure the resistance from the AC power cord third wire ground to a chassis location, such as the
equipotential post on the rear of the monitor.
3 Verify that the resistance is less than 500 milliohms (0.5 ohms).
Chassis Leakage Current Tests

1 Plug the leakage analyzers into mains power.
2 Plug the equipment into the analyzer’s AC receptacle.
3 Verify that the leakage current from the chassis to ground is less than the values in Table 5.

Warning:
During the safety test, AC main voltage will be present on the applied part terminals, Exercise
caution to avoid electrical shock hazard.

Patient Lead Leakage Current Tests

It is recommended that the equipment be in operation for 30 minutes prior to the test to allow thermal
stabilization.
Note:
Before you can perform this test, verify that the monitor passes the ground resistance and chassis current
leakage tests.
• Patient Leads Current Leakage — Measures the leakage current between each of the patient lead wires
and the ground lug on the monitor back panel. Also, measures the leakage current between all
combinations of ECG leads and ground. The current must be less than 10 µA with the ground connected,
and 50 µA with the ground open.
• Leakage Current to Ground with 50/60 Hz — Measures the AC mains voltage applied to the ECG lead
wires. Apply AC mains voltage and measure the leakage current between each of the ECG lead wires and
the ground lug on the monitor back panel. The current must be less that 50 µA at any line voltage.

Separation Distances
Note:
The monitor is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are
controlled. The customer, or user, of the monitor can help prevent electromagnetic interference by
maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment
(transmitters) and the monitor, as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the
communications equipment.

Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined
by an electromagnetic site survey,* should be less than
the compliance level in each frequency range.**
Interference may occur in the vicinity of
equipment marked with the following symbol.
IEC 60417-5140: Non-ionizing electromagnetic
radiation.
* Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and
land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted
theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an
electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which
the monitors are used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the monitors should be
observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be
necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the monitors.
** Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than [ V1 ] V/m.
