"Our highly integrated and comprehensive biosignal sensor hub is a unique solution that promises to revolutionize this competitive landscape," said Ruben de Francisco, founder and CEO of Onera. "It combines clinical-grade physiological measurement and analysis with ultra-low power consumption to support the development of miniaturized and high-quality wearable devices." Launching this powerful chip as a standalone product in our portfolio, not just as part of our innovative Onera diagnostic and monitoring solution, is another exciting step for our company. ”

Onera Biomedical-Lab-on-Chip is a multi-channel sensor readout system with integrated data processing, power management, and interface functions. It provides a wide range of on-chip biomedical sensor readings, including 10 ExG readings covering EEG, ECG, EMG, and EOG, two bioimpedance readings, and two photoplethysmography pulse wave readings.

Data can be processed by on-chip digital filters and accelerators, supported by ARM Cortex M4F processors. The chip has a variety of standard wired interfaces such as UART, SPI, I2C, and I2S.

Because power management is also integrated on chip, the chip operates entirely on a single power supply, which can be any power supply between 0.8V and 3.6V. In addition, a large number of SRAM and embedded FLASH are available, supporting a large number of data streams, with accurate data synchronization as a basic feature.

To support the development of its products and the transition to commercialization, the company said it has recently increased hiring, including an increase in its leadership team. (Proofreading/Nori)
