Overview

The MAX30102EFD+T is an integrated pulse oximetry and heart-rate monitor module that combines dual LEDs, photodetectors, and high-performance optical elements with low-noise electronics. It utilizes an 18-bit ADC and an I2C interface to provide digital biometric data while maintaining a very low shutdown current of 0.7 uA. This sensor is specifically designed for mobile and wearable devices where PCB space and power efficiency are critical.

Why Choose This Part

This module integrates all optical components into a tiny 5.6mm x 3.3mm OESIP package, significantly simplifying optical mechanical design. It operates on a low 1.8V main supply and features a high-resolution 18-bit ADC that ensures reliable signal acquisition even with low perfusion levels.

Applications

Wearable Health Monitors
Integration into smartwatches and fitness bands for continuous heart rate and SpO2 tracking.
Smartphone Integration
Compact footprint allows placement in mobile handsets for on-demand physiological sensing.
Medical Alert Systems
Used in emergency response wearables to monitor patient vitals in real-time.

Key Specifications

Output Type I2C
Sensor Type Oximeter/Heart Rate
Operating Temperature -40degC ~ 85degC

Getting Started

Start development by interfacing the I2C bus with a microcontroller like an ESP32 or STM32. Ensure the 1.8V VDD and 3.3V to 5V LED supply rails are properly decoupled as per the datasheet to minimize optical noise. Drivers are widely available in the Arduino and CircuitPython ecosystems for rapid prototyping.
