Ultra-Low-Power Biometric Algorithm/Sensor
Hub
MAX32674C
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX32674C is an algorithm/sensor hub with embed-
ded software and world-class algorithms for the fitness
and medical wearables market meant to interface directly
with Analog Devices' optical sensors. The MAX32674C
processes raw data and outputs biometric measurements
when configured as an algorithm hub. When configured as
a sensor hub, the MAX32674C seamlessly enables cus-
tomer-desired sensor functionality, including driver com-
munication with Analog Devices optical sensor solutions
and delivering raw or calculated data to the outside world.
The MAX32674C optimizes system power consumption
by sleeping when idle.

faces to an internal bootloader through an I C slave inter-
face for initial programming or in-field upgrades.
• Pulse Width
The MAX32674C supports the MAX86176 for wrist-based
algorithm hub and sensor hub applications. The sensor
hub uses the master mode SPI interface to communicate
with the sensors.
• Integration Time
• Power Consumption and Performance
● Both Raw and Processed Data Are Available
● Software/Algorithm Upgradeable
● FIFO Provides Minimal Host Interaction
● Bootloader Facilitates Secure, Authenticated Software
Upgrades
The wearable algorithms in the MAX32674C support a di-
rectly connected accelerometer when used as a sensor
hub. It also supports an indirect connection where the
accelerometer is instead connected to the host micro-
controller. This architecture provides robust detection and
compensation of motion artifacts in captured samples.
The device is packaged in a tiny form factor: 2.50mm x
1.75mm, 0.4mm pitch, 24-pin WLP.
Applications
● Wearable Fitness
● Hearables
● Wearable Medical
● Portable Medical
