The microelectronic pill is a multichannel sensor that is 16mm in diameter, 55mm long, and weighs 5 grams. It contains sensors, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) to connect components, and a transmitter powered by two silver oxide batteries. The pill can measure body temperature, pH, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen through its sensors. It transmits sensor data at 1 kbps for over 40 hours on its batteries while consuming only 12.1mW of power. The microelectronic pill allows for disease detection and monitoring inside the human body with low power usage and size suitable for practical applications.

6. The major component in a Control Chip is ASIC.
The ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) is connects
together other components of the micro system.
ASIC & sensors consume 5.3 mW power corresponding to 1.7
mA of current.

 The Silicon Diode is used for measures the body
temperature.
 The ISFET is used for measure pH of our body.
 The Direct Contact Gold Electrode is used for
measures the Conductivity, by measuring the contents of
Water & Salt absorption.
 The Three Electrode Electro Chemical Cell is used
for measures the level of dissolved oxygen in solution.

8. Modulation Scheme = Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)
Data Transfer Rate = 1 kbps
Frequency = 40.01 MHz at 20°C
Bandwidth of the signal generated 10 KHz
It consumes 6.8 mW power at 2.2 mA of current

9.  2 Silver Oxide batteries are used.
 Operating Time > 40 hours.
 Power Consumption = 12.1 mW
 Corresponding current consumption = 3.9mA
 Supply Voltage = 3.1 V
BATTERY

10.  It is being beneficially used for disease detection in human body.
 Power consumption is very less.
 It has very small size, hence it is very easy for practical usage.
 High sensitivity, Good reliability & Life times.
 Very long life of the cells(40 hours), Less Power, Current &
Voltage requirement (12.1 mW, 3.9 mA, 3.1 V)
 Less transmission length & hence has zero noise interference.

11.  It cannot perform ultrasound & impedance tomography.
 Cannot detect radiation abnormalities
 Cannot perform radiation treatment associated with cancer &
chronic inflammation.
 Micro Electronic Pills are expensive & are not available in
many countries.
 Not Reusable.

12.  Determine Body Temperature.
Determine pH value of our Blood.
Measure Dissolved Oxygen level.
Determine Pancreatic Disease.
Measure value of Acid excretion.
Determine activity of Fermenting Bacteria.
