Dear Friends,

One of my medical customer in the area of pace makers is looking for a life support life saving grade ARM based MCU. Please be so kind and advise if I can find any solution that meet this request from TI.

Nir,

For life critical or mission critical applications I'd suggest looking at the Hercules class from TI. Other vendors may have offerings as well. I don't know if it meets your needs but it is more built for that purpose than Tiva. Tiva may fit the bill for auxiliary functions in that are not directly life sustaining.

Regardless of chip choice system level considerations will be needed.

Is it not reasonable that a serious firm - in so restricted and consequential an area - would, "know how/where to look" for such tightly regulated devices?

Hi,

Here below are the links I found by doing a search on pace makers at the TI website. Doing a quick look at these links, I have not found out yet which TI ARM they used for heart pace makers.
