Alongside its latest Helio P20 chip-set, MediaTek also announced the MT2511, first bio-sensing analog front-end (AFE) chip designed for health and fitness devices.

The MT2511 is extremely power efficient, providing lower active mode power consumption. The chip comes built with heart beat interval technology, 4KB SRAM to optimise overall system power consumption, and LED boost driver circuit for saving layout space.

“The mobile health market is one of the fastest growing technology sectors. We can only begin to imagine how health-related wearables will improve both medical care and everyday wellness all around the world,” said JC Hsu, MediaTek’s Corporate Vice President and General Manager of the IoT business unit.

“With support for ECG and PPG and limited power needs, the fully integrated MT2511 is ideal for a variety of devices, including fitness trackers, active lifestyle smart watches and sports bands.”

In terms of design, the MT2511 works seamlessly with MediaTek’s existing IoT and wearable platforms used for Android wear. MediaTek is expected to begin production of this chips in the first quarter of 2016.
