The Goodix GR511x series is an SoC designed for consumer healthcare applications. It integrates core modules including a Bluetooth LE MCU and an electrochemical analog front-end (AFE), making it ideal for application scenarios such as continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and sweat analysis sensing.
Based on Arm China® STAR-MC1 core (Cortex®-M33 compatible), the GR511x integrates a 2.4 GHz RF transceiver, Bluetooth LE 6.1 protocol stack, 112 KB/160 KB system RAM, 512 KB/1 MB on-chip Flash memory, an electrochemical AFE, and a rich set of peripherals. The built-in electrochemical AFE supports 2-electrode, 3-electrode, and 4-electrode electrochemical sensing, and features an on-chip temperature sensor with support for an external NTC, enabling high-accuracy blood glucose data acquisition.
