This reference design demonstrates the analog capabilities of the MSPM0L1306 in a low-cost, single chip pulse oximeter design. The operational amplifiers within the MSPM0L1306 serve as the transimpedance amplifier and current control driver with zero-drift, low-noise capabilities. The integrated high-speed, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) provides the ability to oversample and achieve high levels of dynamic range. This design features a GUI to visualize photoplethysmography (PPG) waveforms and vitals measurements of heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) and peripheral oxygen saturation (%SpO2).
Features
- Achievable heart rate range of 30 to 240 BPM and perfusion index (PI) range of 0.1% to 20% for a wide variety of pulse strengths and greater reliability
- 90dB dynamic range achievable from internal 12-bit ADC through oversampling
- Standard display resolution of 1BPM and 1% SpO2 for accurate vital readings
- Longer battery life with ultra-low (< 83nA) shutdown current during device off-time
