The MAX86174A/MAX86174B are ultra-low-power optical data acquisition systems with both transmit and receive channels. On the transmitter side, the MAX86174A/MAX86174B have four LED driver output pins. Each pin is programmable from two, high-current, 8-bit LED drivers. On the receiver side, the MAX86174A consists of two optical readout channels that can operate simultaneously while the MAX86174B has a single optical readout channel. The devices have low-noise, charge-integrating analog front-end, 20-bit ADC, and best-in-class ambient-light cancellation (ALC) circuits.
Due to the low power consumption, compact size, ease and flexibility of use, the MAX86174A/MAX86174B are ideal for a wide variety of optical sensing applications such as pulse oximetry and heart-rate detection.
The MAX86174A/MAX86174B operate on a 1.8V main supply voltage and a 2.7V to 5.5V LED driver supply voltage. The devices support both I2C- and SPI-compatible interfaces in a fully autonomous way. The devices have a large 256-word built-in FIFO. The MAX86174A/MAX86174B are available in a compact 16-WLP package.
