GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADPD6000 is a highly integrated analog front end (AFE)

designed for measuring various vital signals.

The optical channel is designed as an optical transceiver, stimulating

up to four light emitting diodes (LEDs) and measuring the

return signal on up to four separate current inputs. The signal chain

rejects signal offsets and corruption from asynchronous modulated

interference, typically from ambient light, eliminating the need for

optical filters or externally controlled dc cancellation circuitry.

The electrocardiography (ECG) signal acquisition is designed to

support low noise, diagnostic level measurement in the presence

of a variety of interferers. The ECG signal chain has a number

of complementary features supporting ECG measurement, such as

driven reference for common-mode rejection and lead off detection

to identify a fallen electrode.

The body impedance analysis (BIA) signal chain is designed for

body impedance measurement with a configurable excitation path

and measurement path. A 12-bit digital-to-analog (DAC) is used

in the excitation path to generate the sinusoid wave and high

precision measurement, with configurable filters used to measure

the body response of the stimulus.

The data output and functional configuration use a serial port interface

(SPI) on the ADPD6000. The control circuitry includes flexible

LED signaling and synchronous detection, digital filters, digital wave

generators, and configurable filters.

The ADPD6000 is available in a 2.6 mm × 2.6 mm, 0.4 mm pitch,

36-ball wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP).
