MAX86165
Miniature Optical Heart Rate Module
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX86165 is an ultra-low-power, completely integrat-
ed, optical data acquisition system. On the transmitter
side, the MAX86165 has a programmable low-noise LED
driver with an IR emitter. On the receiver side, MAX86165
consists of a high efficiency PIN photodiode and an optical
readout channel. The optical readout has a low-noise sig-
nal conditioning analog front end (AFE), including 20-bit
analog‐to‐digital converter (ADC) and an industry-leading
ambient light cancellation (ALC) circuit. Due to the low
power consumption, compact size, ease and flexibility of
use, the MAX86165 is ideal for a wide variety of optical
sensing applications such as heart rate detection and
proximity sensing in small spaces such as ear buds.
