ADIMAXREFDES117#
Overview
The MAXREFDES117# is a compact heart-rate and pulse-oximetry (SpO2) monitor subsystem designed for wearable medical applications. It features the MAX30102 integrated sensor, providing a high-performance optical solution that includes red and IR LEDs and high-sensitivity photodetectors. The module operates from a supply range of 2V to 5.5V and consumes only 1.5mA at 3.3V during typical operation.
Why Choose This Part
This design is highly integrated, combining the sensor, power management, and level translation into a tiny 12.7mm x 12.7mm footprint. It simplifies development by including open-source drivers and example C code for Arduino and mbed platforms, significantly reducing time-to-market.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Connect the module to any MCU with an I2C interface, such as an Arduino or mbed-enabled board, using the provided 8-pin header. Developers can leverage the provided source code and heart-rate algorithm to begin sampling biometric data immediately. Ensure the sensor is placed in firm contact with the skin for accurate optical readings.
