ZHCSCL7C May 2014 – April 2021 AFE4403
PRODUCTION DATA
The AFE4403 is ideally suited as an analog front-end for processing PPG (photoplethysmography) signals. The information contained in PPG signals can be used for measuring SPO2 as well as for monitoring heart rate. The high dynamic range of the device enables measuring SPO2 with a high degree of accuracy, even under conditions of low perfusion (ac:dc ratio). An SPO2 measurement system involves two different wavelength LEDs: usually Red and IR. By computing the ratio of the ac:dc at the two different wavelengths, SPO2 can be calculated. Heart rate monitoring systems can also benefit from the high dynamic range of the AFE4403, which enables a high-fidelity pulsating signal to be captured, even in cases where the signal strength is low.
