ST1VAFE3BX Biosensor with vAFE

STMicroelectronics ST1VAFE3BX biosensors embed a vAFE channel to detect biopotential signals

Image of STMicroelectronics ST1VAFE3BX Biosensor with vAFEThe STMicroelectronics ST1VAFE3BX is a biosensor embedding a vAFE channel to detect biopotential signals and a high-performance 3-axis digital accelerometer for motion tracking. The device has been designed with a very compact, low-noise, and low-power vAFE with configurable input impedance. The vAFE enables reading analog signals that are complementary to motion signals. The vAFE and motion signals are intrinsically synchronous, resulting in a unique context-aware edge analysis, thus low power and with the minimum possible latency.

Easy integration and actual synchronization of the vAFE with the accelerometer sensor signal allows standalone processing in the MEMS sensor, leveraging its embedded ecosystem, including the FSM and MLC, and offloading the microcontroller.

The device embeds advanced dedicated features and data processing for signal processing like the finite state machine (FSM), adaptive self-configuration (ASC), and machine learning core (MLC) with exportable AI features/filters.
