In this reference design is a miniaturized pulse oximeter a device that measures the changes in oxygen level in the human blood through light reflection. 3 1 2 multiplexer circuit and led driver circuit the pulse oximeter needs two different wavelengths to perform measurements.
Microchip pulse oximeter demo board schematic 1 0 3 7 gnd 2 vfb 4 vin 6 vout 5 en 3 sw 1 u2 gnd c1 x. Pulse oximetry fundamentals pulse oximeter fundamentals and design rev. This circuit is a pulse oximeter it is a medical device to indirectly measure the amount of oxygen in the blood of a person. In order to build finger or earlobe probes which are small and unobtrusive we need miniature light sources and detectors.
The reference design uses afe4403 as the main component which is a fully integrated analog front end that consist of a led transmit section for the photodiode sensor. A in a person with good cardiac function the onset of the cardiac systole as denoted by the onset of the qrs complex coincides with the onset in the increase of the arterial blood volume. C2 x r1 r2. These wavelengths are generated using two light emitter diodes leds a.
The main sections of this block diagram are now described. Two relationships between the ratio r and the oxygen saturation of the patient.
