Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX30003 Biopotential Analog Front End (AFE)
Analog Devices MAX30003 Biopotential Analog Front End (AFE) is a clinical-grade ECG AFE with a high-resolution data converter. The Analog Devices MAX30003 is a complete, biopotential Analog Front End solution for wearable applications. The device offers high performance for clinical and fitness applications, with ultra-low power for long battery life. The MAX30003 is a single biopotential channel that detects ECG waveforms and heart rate.
The MAX30003 has ESD protection, EMI filtering, internal lead biasing, DC leads-off detection, ultra-low power leads-on detection during standby mode, and extensive calibration voltages for built-in self-test. Soft power-up sequencing ensures no large transients are injected into the electrodes. The MAX30003 also has high input impedance, low noise, high CMRR, programmable gain, various low-pass and high-pass filter options, and a high-resolution analog-to-digital converter. The device is DC coupled, can handle large electrode voltage offsets, and has a fast recovery mode to quickly recover from overdrive conditions, such as defibrillation and electrosurgery.
The Analog Devices MAX30003 Biopotential AFE is available in a 28-pin TQFN and 30-bump Wafer-Level Package (WLP), operating over the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range.
