–
–
Programmable LED on-time per-phase
The AFE49I30 is an analog front-end for optical bio-
sensing/ PPG and ECG measurement applications.
The device supports up to six switching light-emitting
diodes (LEDs) and up to four photodiodes. Up to 24
signal phases can be defined and the PPG or ECG
signals can be acquired from each phase in a
synchronized manner.
Simultaneous support of 6 LEDs for SpO2,
HRM, or multi-wavelength HRM
