Análisis de antecedentes y requisitos de la aplicación

A smartwatch blood pressure feature must control pressure changes within a tiny space. The micro pump should fit under 1cm³ and generate 0–50kPa; the sensor requires ±1%FS accuracy, digital output, and low drift (≤0.5%FS/°C), with standby current <10µA and active <1mA. Motion and temperature variation on the wrist pose stability challenges, demanding ≥200Hz sampling for clear pulse waveform capture. Engineers must balance layout, power design, and algorithm integration, while procurement managers focus on supply consistency and production yield.

1.1 Space and Power Constraints

  • Ultra-compact module combines pump, tubing, and sensor, with attention to heat dissipation and shock resilience.

  • Low overall power draw extends battery life, matching watch capacity.

1.2 Accuracy and Responsiveness

  • ±1%FS meets medical monitoring standards.

  • ≥200Hz sampling captures full pulse waveform without aliasing.

1.3 Interface Compatibility

  • WF3050D’s PDM/I²S digital interface reduces PCB complexity.

  • Fast bus integration with MCU simplifies firmware design.

Selección del sensor y coincidencia de parámetros

Among MEMS sensors, the WF3050D stands out: 3.0×5.0×0.93mm size, 0–50kPa range, digital I²S/PDM, and 0.48%FS/°C drift. Typical accuracy ≤±0.5%FS supports blood pressure tracking up to 200mmHg. Operating voltage 1.7–3.6V matches watch rails, and no external ADC is needed. Top-port design eases gas routing; metal lid adds impact resistance.

2.1 Range and Precision

  • 0–50kPa covers 95–200mmHg clinical window.

  • Non-linearity ≤±0.3%FS and high repeatability.

2.2 Thermal Behavior

  • Drift ≤0.48%FS/°C, further improved with first-order compensation.

  • Tiempo de respuesta <2ms for rapid pressure changes.

2.3 Electrical Fit

  • Direct digital output to MCU reduces noise and power.

  • Low-voltage start-up enables quick wake-up.

Integración del sistema y diseño de micro bomba

Effective collaboration of sensor and pump hinges on gas routing, mechanical support, and EMC design.

  1. Enrutamiento de gas: Short silicone tubing (≤5mm, Ø1.2mm) minimizes dead volume.

  2. Montaje mecánico: Aluminum bracket with dual-layer damping foam reduces vibration.

  3. Prácticas de EMC: Place filter caps and ground plane around digital lines to curb noise.

  4. Calibración de firmware: Auto zero-point calibration at start-up with temperature drift compensation.

3.1 Gas Path Optimization

  • Chamber volume ≤10µL cuts residual air.

  • Low-adsorption tubing prevents gas retention.

3.2 Vibration Isolation & Thermal Control

  • Vibration damping pads lower mechanical noise.

  • Copper thermal pad under sensor fosters temperature uniformity.

3.3 Firmware Algorithms

  • Startup auto-calibration, continuous drift correction.

  • High-speed sampling with digital filters balances speed and stability.
