3 Description
The AFE4405 is an analog front-end (AFE) for optical
bio-sensing applications, such as heart-rate
monitoring (HRM) and saturation of peripheral
capillary oxygen (SpO2). The device supports three
switching light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and up to two
photodiodes. The current from the photodiode is
converted into voltage by the transimpedance
amplifier (TIA) and digitized using an analog-to-digital
converter (ADC). The ADC code can be stored in a
240-sample first in, first out (FIFO) block with
programmable depth. The FIFO depth can be
partitioned to accommodate the phases that must be
stored. The FIFO can be read out using either an I2C
or a SPI interface. The AFE also has a fully-
integrated LED driver with an 8-bit current control.
The device has a high dynamic range transmit-and-
receive circuitry that helps with the sensing of very
small signal levels.
