The module includes an IC with integrated photodetector, current
to-digital converter, and LED drivers, along with support for ECG
measurements. It also supports external LEDs and photodiodes.
This optical heart rate sensor includes I2C and SPI digital interfaces, a programmable
event interrupt output, an analog-to-digital converter, host communications processor,
four integrated LED drivers, and inputs for two external photodiodes
A large internal photodiode creates a high-quality signal with different skin types. A low
noise ECG interface (with support for leads on/off detection) allows you to take ECG
measurements independent of, or interleaved with, PPG measurements.
The Si1182 offers excellent performance under a wide dynamic range. The Si1182 is
provided in a 24-pin optical QFN module and is capable of operation from 1.71 to 3.63 V
over the –40 to +85°C temperature range.
