The ADPD144RI is a highly integrated, photometric front end optimized for photoplethysmography (PPG) detection of blood oxygenation (SpO2) by synchronous detection in red and infrared wavelengths. Synchronous measurement allows rejection of both dc and ac ambient light interference with extremely low power consumption.The module combines highly efficient, light emitting diode (LED) emitters and a sensitive 4-channel, deep diffusion photodiode (PD1 to PD4) with a custom application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) in a compact package that provides optical isolation between the integrated LED emitters and the detection photodiodes to improve through tissue, signal-tonoise ratio (SNR).The ASIC consists of a 4-channel analog front end (AFE) with two independently configurable datapaths with separate gain and filter settings, a 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a burst accumulator, two flexible, independently configurable, LED drivers, and a digital control block. The digital control block provides AFE and LED timing, signal processing, and communication. Data output and functional configuration occur over a 1.8 V I2C interface.ApplicationsOptical heart rate monitoringReflective SpO2 measurement
