Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry’s leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components™, is now shipping the ST1VAFE6AX biosensor from STMicroelectronics. The ST1VAFE6AX provides design engineers with next-generation biopotential signal detection and motion tracking for a variety of applications, including heart rate, pulse monitoring, electrocardiogram (ECG) and activity tracking for wearables and portable medical devices.
The ST1VAFE6AX biosensor, available from Mouser, features a vertical analog front end (vAFE) channel to detect biopotential signals and includes a 6-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) for motion tracking. The ST1VAFE6AX embeds advanced dedicated features and data processing for motion processing like the finite state machine (FSM), sensor fusion low power (SFLP), adaptive self-configuration (ASC), and machine learning core (MLC) with exportable artificial intelligence (AI) features and filters. The device fully synchronizes biopotential and motion sensing for context-aware analysis. The ST1VAFE6AX biosensor’s compact 2.5 × 3.0 × 0.71 mm footprint makes it ideal for space-constrained applications.
Application development with ST1VAFE6AX biosensor is supported by the STEVAL-MKI242A adapter board. The STEVAL-MKI242A board features a pre-mounted ST1VAFE6AX sensor and can be plugged directly into a standard DIL24 socket, enabling fast system prototyping and device evaluation directly within the user’s own application. The adapter provides the complete ST1VAFE6AX pinout and comes ready-to-use with the required decoupling capacitors on the VDD and VDDIO power supply lines. A 3.5 mm jack is also provided on the board for use with an ECG cable. The STEVAL-MKI242A adapter can also be used with the STMicroelectronics STEVAL-MKI109V3 motherboard, the STEVAL-MKBOXPRO programmable wireless box kit, or the X-NUCLEO-IKS4A1 motion MEMS and environmental sensor expansion board.
