This part of the manual describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the
Electronic board.
Features
Contains all the necessary circuitry for standard urodynamics tests, rectal manometry
and even some simple GI investigations.
Wide input range power supply, with on board DC/DC step down converters.
Low power consumption even when the pump driver is active, allowing battery operation
for long periods of time.
Analog front end includes a medical grade isolation on all available inputs,
24 bits, uktra low noise on board analog to digital converter and multiplexer:
3 pressures grouped in a single connector
2 versatile inputs with automatic transducer’s type detection
1 infusion weight transducer
1 on board air pressure transducer.
High current Infusion pump driver, including an enhanced micro stepping controller
On board puller stepper motor driver, also with a micro stepping controller
High speed DSP controller, running a multi task real time operating system dedicated to
embedded systems
Safety issues are addressed by the Board Monitoring Unit, permanently checking the
DSP for normal operation, capable to shutdown the Uroboard.
2 communications interfaces provided: USB V2.0 and Wireless XBee 811.15.4.
Unique serial number for software security.
Introduction
The Uroboard has been designed mainly for Urodynamics investigations and includes all the
necessary peripherals and functions for that specific medical area. This doesn’t limit the
Uroboard to urodynamics, rectal and some simple GI procedures can easily be performed
without any changes.
Low power consumption and compact layout design makes long term battery operation
possible, even with the infusion pump activated.
The Uroboard requires a connection to a PC running the Albyn Medical Phoenix Software.

Analog inputs
Communication
Communication Interface #1 USB
Interface #2 XBee
There is one LED for the whole DSP system and one for each major installed peripheral:
infusion pump, puller, analog inputs, air pump and one for each communication interface (Note
that these last two are managed by the communication interface itself).
The BMU is build around a standalone RISC low power processor from Texas Instrument U2,
independently powered by a linear 3.3V regulator U1. This gives the ability to U2 to run even in
case of major power supply failure on other digital areas on the Uroboard.
U2 is connected to the DSP chip with a fast SPI bus, the DSP being the master, the msp430 U2
being the slave. The DSP sends command requests on peripherals and information on its own
process to the BMU, and the BMU returns board monitored values to the DSP. The DSP is
supposed to update the BMU at regular paces. Whenever this pace is irregular or stopped, the
BMU enters the safety mode by shutting down all peripherals.
The board preferences functionality is also devoted to the BMU, these preferences are stored in
the info flash section of the msp430.
U2 firmware has voluntarily been kept very simple to minimize code size thus reducing the
firmware’s risk of failure. This firmware is also secured by a hardware watchdog that resets the
BMU in case of firmware failure. Upon reset, the BMU is places in safety mode.
The msp430 firmware can be uploaded at production time using the JTAG connector U1 or the
USB interface with the Uroboard Service Application (See corresponding chapter). This same
application can upgrade the firmware from the host PC.

The infusion pump head is powered by a high power bipolar stepper motor. The Uroboard is
using a specific integrated circuit to control this stepper motor, allowing a large service voltage
range and a full control of the current. The controller is a complete microstepping motor driver
with build-in translator, and is fully protected against faults, microstepping capable with
precision of 1/16 of a step, and includes a current decay control scheme that helps reduction
the power consumption.
The pump motor is connected on J4. J3 connector provides some extra inputs/outputs for
extended safety features which are not yet implemented. Due to the high current pulses U7 and
current sense resistors R68 and R75 can get quite hot when running the motor for long periods.
A fan, firmware activated, helps cooling down these components.
All the pump driver digital signals are under the control of the DSP but the enable signal is
managed by the BMU, zeroing the risk of leaving the pump running if the DSP fails.
Puller driver
The Puller is powered by a miniature geared bipolar stepper motor. This motor is connected to
CN4, directly to the microstepping controller U25 (same chip as the infusion driver). As for the
pump, all signals are under DSP control but the enable signal is driven by the BMU for safety
reasons. CN4 provides two control lines for remote controls if ever some are needed.
Analog section
The Uroboard has a very low noise high resolution oversampling successive approximation
analog to digital converter with a medical grade secondary isolation. The ADC resolution is
24bits, and at Uroboard acquisition rate, the noise free resolution is close to 17 bits.
Digital isolation is provided by means of U8 and U10, and power supply isolation is the
responsibility of the DC/DC converter U13. All of them are medical grade 60601 certified
components.
Analog section power supply is provided by two low noise linear regulators, U12 is the digital
3.3V regulator and U14 is the analog +5V regulator which is switched only when the ADC is in
use.
External inputs are available on MEDI-SNAP series connectors, CN1 provides 3 pressures input
in a compact 14 pins socket and CN2 and CN3 are two versatile inputs. The ADC reads the
code input from these connectors to identify the type of connected transducer.
There are also two internal inputs, one for the weight transducer load cell (J5) and an on board
air pressure transducer. All these inputs have EMI filters fitted very close to their respective
connectors, followed by a low pass filter and some protection resistors, before entering the
analog multiplexor build-in U9.
U11A and U11B are symmetrically amplifying the signal from the multiplexer output before it
enters the ADC.
A resistor divider takes a part of the analog voltage for the ADC to use it as a reference voltage
for the conversion process. This ratiometric measurement helps keeping the noise level very
low, provided the connected transducers are powered with the same power supply.

The ADC is clocked directly from the DSP chip through the isolation barrier, allowing for a wide
range of sampling rates. Actual sampling rates in use for Urodynamics are 25 sps. and 50 sps..
The ADC starts conversion upon ADS_START assertion by the DSP, when conversion is done
the ADC asserts the ADS_DRDY line. The DSP reads the result registers in the ADC chip from
the SPI bus. This sequence is repeated for every selected channel as long as ADS_START
remains asserted.
The Uroboard can be directly connected to a PC through the USB interface. This USB interface
can be use to upgrade the DSP and BMU firmwares from the host PC without any other
external tool, or to perform studies.
Note that the host interface type is selected during production by setting up the preferences
according to the build system’s requirements.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: if the PC is intended use is to perform real time studies on patients, the
PC is required to have or to be connected to a medical grade power supply. Never run the
Uroboard connected to a patient from an unknown PC configuration.
The Uroboard uses a dedicated USB/RS232 integrated chip U26, containing all the necessary
circuitry and clocks. When connected, the USB host takes USBSCI_ON signal high and enables
U26 interface. The status LEDs blinks according to the input/output data flow. Apart from
standard RS232 signals, U26 has some general purpose IO lines which are used to change the
start-up sequence of the DSP or the BMU, allowing special bootstrap modes to be entered for in
field programming.
U26 features few bytes of non volatile memory which can be read from the host driver side. In
the Uroboard design, this memory is used to identify the Uroboard and gives some setup
instructions to the PC driver –baud rate, name, type of frames....
J16 is an extension connector that can override the on board USB interface and directly access
the DSP’s UART and all the other start-up signals.
