The MAX86173 is an ultra-low-power optical data acquisition system with both transmit and receive channels. On the transmitter side, the MAX86173 has nine LED driver output pins, programmable from three high-current, 8-bit LED drivers. On the receiver side, the MAX86173 has two low-noise charge integrating front-ends that each includes independent 20-bit ADC and best-in-class ambient light cancellation (ALC) circuits, producing the highest performing integrated optical data acquisition system in the market today.
Due to its low power consumption, compact size, ease and flexibility of use, the MAX86173 is ideal for a wide variety of optical sensing applications such as pulse-oximetry and heart-rate detection.
The MAX86173 operates on a 1.8V main supply voltage and a 3.1V to 5.5V LED driver supply voltage. The device supports both I2C and SPI interfaces in a fully autonomous way. The device has a large 256-word built-in FIFO.
The MAX86173 is available in a compact WLP package 2.78mm x 1.71mm with 7 x 4, 0.35mm ball pitch.
