SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 2.1 INTRODUCTION Embed Embedded ded syste systems ms are one of the emergi emerging ng technol technologi ogies es which which are touchi touching ng every nook and corner of the mind. “It is impossible to live without these embedded gadgets”-says ELECTRONICS magazine. From the above statement, the liveliness of embedded system can be understood. Data communications is one of the most rapidly growing commercial market areas today, especially “wireless communications”. In the past few years, wireless data communications has grown from an obscure and expensive curiosity into a practical and affordable communication and networking technology. The convenience of wireless is very appealing as not to deal with running cables to and from devices devices in order to interconnect interconnect them, and wireless devices devices can be moved to any location within the transmission range, while still being able to communicate and broadcast data. Due to this, it is expected that wireless data communications will become even more popular and more extensively used in the medical field. Currently the most popular method of wireless communications is radio frequency transmission. As these devices have a very low power consumption and power output , output , perhaps perhaps more importantly devices can achieve good data transmission rates.

3.1.3 Flash Memory Flash memory is a type of EEPROM, which has a grid of columns and rows with a cell that has two transistors at each intersection. A thin oxide layer separates the two transistors from each other. One of the transistor transistor is known as the floating gate and other as the control gate. The floating gate’s only link to the row, or ‘word line’, is through the control gate. As long as this link is in place, the cell has a value of ‘1’. This value can be changed to ‘0’ using the Fowler-Nordheim tunneling process. Tunneling is used to alter the placement of electrons in the floating gate. An electrical charge, usually 10-13 volts, is applied to the floating gate. The charge comes from the column, or or bit line, which enters the floating gate and drains to ground. ground. This charge causes the floating gate transistor to act like an electron gun. The excited electrons are pushed through and trapped on the other side of the thin oxide layer, giving it a negative charge. These negatively negatively charged electrons electrons act as a barrier between the control gate and the floating gate. A specia speciall device device called called cell sensor sensor monit monitors ors the level level of the charge charge passin passing g through the floating gate. If the flow through the gate is greater than 50 percent of the charge, it has a value of ‘1’. When the charge passing through the gate drops below the 50 percent threshold, the value changes to ‘0’. A blank EPROM has all of the gates fully open, giving each cell a value of ‘1’. The electrons in the cells of a flash memory chip can be returned to the normal ‘1’ state by application of an electric field (a higher-voltage charge). Flash memory uses incircuit wiring to apply the electric field to the entire chip or to the predetermined sections known as blocks. The targeted area of the chip is erased, which can be rewritten. Flash memory works much faster than traditional EEPROMs because instead of erasing one byte at a time, it erases a block or the entire chip and then rewrites it. An ideal memory sub-system sub-system is one which which has high density, density, can be read fast and prese preserve rve data data in non-vo non-volat latile ile condit condition ion,, and is easy easy to progra program/r m/repr eprogr ogram am and costcosteffective. Different memory technologies meet one or more of these requirements very

Flas Flash h memor emory y is a nonnon-vo vola lati tile le memo memory ry com combini bining ng the the adva advant ntag ages es of EPROM/EEPROM, ROM, and DRAM. There may be differences between the specific technol technologi ogies es used used by differe different nt manufa manufactu cturers rers but their their basic basic princi principle ple is same. same. For example, Intel Flash memory use NOR gates, while Samsung memory uses NAND gates. The technology used by Intel is further classified based on the core memory cell. The first technology is the original single-bit/cell flash memory which allows a single bit of information to be stored in each cell (1=erased and 0=programmed). The second and the most recent technology uses a multi-level cell structure, for example, Intel Strata Flash memory. This technology allows two bits of information to be precisely stored in a single transistor. Programming a cell (charge placement) and reading (sensi (sensing) ng) must be precis precisely ely controlle controlled d in order order to have have four four states states within a single single transistor. According to Intel, the multi-level cell flash memory employs a reliable NOR based architecture and is ideally suited for high-density applications.

Port 0 is an 8-bit open drain bi-directional I/O port. As an output port, each pin can sink eight TTL inputs. When 1s are written to port 0 pins, the pins can be used as high-impedance inputs. Port 0 can also be configured to be the multiplexed low-order address/data bus during accesses to external program and data memory. In this mode, P0 has internal pullups. Port 0 also receives the code bytes during Flash programming and outputs the code bytes during program verification. External pull-ups are required during program verification.

Port 1

Port 1 is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port. Port pins P1.2 to P1.7 provides internal pull-ups. P1.0 and P1.1 requires external pull-ups. P1.0 and P1.1 also serves as the positive input (AIN0) (AIN0) and negative input (AIN1), respectively, of the on-chip on-chip precision analog comparator. The Port 1 output buffers can sink 20 mA and ca n drive LED displays directly. When 1s are written to Port 1 pins, they can be used as inputs. When pins P1.2 to P1.7 are used as inputs and are externally pulled low, they will source current because of the intern internal al pull-u pull-ups. ps. Port 1 also also receiv receives es code code data data during during Flash Flash progra programm mming ing and program verification.

Port 2

Port 2 is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-ups. The Port 2 output buffers can sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 2 pins, they are pulled high by the internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 2 pins that are externally being pulled low will source current (IIL) because of the internal pull-ups. Port 2 emits the high-order address byte during fetches from external program memory and during accesses to external data memory that use 16-bit addresses (MOVX @ DPTR). In this application, Port 2 uses strong internal pull-ups when emitting 1s.

Heart beat sensor is designed to give digital output of heat beat when a finger is placed on it. When the heart beat detector is working, the beat LED flashes in unison with each heart heart beat. beat. This This digita digitall output output can be connec connected ted to micro microcon contro troller ller directl directly y to measure measure the Beats Per Minute Minute (BPM) rate.

interfacing applications.

3.2.4 The Working

The sensor consists of a super bright red LED and light detector. The LED needs to be super bright as the maximum light must pass spread in finger and detected by detector. Now, when the heart pumps a pulse of blood through the blood vessels, the finger becomes slightly more opaque and so less light reached the detector. With each heart pulse the detector signal varies. This variation is converted to electrical pulse. This signal is amplified and triggered through an amplifier which outputs +5V logic level signal. The output signal is also indicated by a LED which blinks on each heart beat.

Following figure shows signal of heart beat and sensor signal output graph. Fig.2 shows actual heart beat received by detector (Yellow) and the trigger point of sensor (Red) after which the sensor outputs digital signal (Blue) at 5V level.

12


Fig.3 shows target pulse rates for people aged between 20 and 70. The target range is the pulse rate needed in order to provide suitable exercise for the heart. For a 25year old, this range is about 140-170 beats per minute while for a 60-year old it is typically between 115 and 140 beats per minute.

Microcontroller also checks checks for for data within within the the range heartbe heartbeat(65 at(65 to 85 ) and if the the condition condition is is not satisfied takes the appropriate action like sending an SMS.

HEART BEAT SENSOR The Microcontroller AT89S51 is used to sense the heart Beat. The Red high intensity light emitted by led initially falls on LDR .This is the condition where the heartbeat is calibrated to zero using resistor R 16. 16. When a patient places his finger in between LED and LDR the light is restricted by the finger .The intensity of light penetration decreases if the blood is pumped into the finger .If the blood is not pumped then the light intensity is high .This high and low light intensity helps to measure heartbeat heartbeat .Actually .Actually light falling falling on LDR cuts due to blood blood movement movement .The .The duration duration of light disturbed is measured which gives the time duration of each heart beat pulse ,inverse of this time gives the heartbeat count per minute .This signal is amplified in two stages using dual operational amplifiers.R 17 17 resistor is used to adjust the square wave pulse
