MAX86180
High SNR Dual-Channel AFE for Multi-Wavelength Optical Spectroscopy
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Complete Dual-Channel Optical Data Acquisition System
● Works Efficiently with Dual as well as Single Stand-Alone
Supply
● Supports Connection with up to 32 Individual LEDs
● Samples up to 20 Unique Exposure Measurements in a
Single Time Frame
● Ultra Low-Power Operation for Body Wearable Devices
• Low-Power Operation, Optical Readout Channel <
20μA at 25fps
The MAX86180 is an ultra-low-power optical data acquisi-
tion system with both transmit and receive channels. On the
transmitter side, the MAX86180 has two, high-current 8-bit
programmable LED drivers. The MAX86180 can drive up to
32 LEDs. On the receiver side, MAX86180 has two low-noise
charge integrating front-ends such that each include indepen-
dent 20-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and best-in-
class ambient light cancellation (ALC) circuits, producing the
highest performing integrated optical data acquisition system
in the market today.
• Exposure Integration Period Ranging from 14.6μs to
118.2μs
• Low Shutdown Current < 1.1μA
Due to its low power consumption, compact size, ease and
flexibility of use, the MAX86180 is ideal for a wide variety of
optical sensing applications such as pulse oximetry and heart
rate detection.
● Excellent Top-End SNR = 98.7dB in White Card Loop-
Back Test (Nyquist Sample-to-Sample Variance)
● Extended Dynamic Range up to 120dB (Averaging and
Off-Chip Filtering)
● Improved Ambient Light Rejection to Over 90dB at 120Hz
● Supports Frame Rates from 1fps to 1927.53fps
● High Resolution 20-bit Charge Integrating ADCs
● Low Dark Current Noise of < 52pA RMS (Sample-to-
Sample Variance in 118.2μs Integration Time)
● Excellent Ambient Range and Rejection Capability
• > 200μA Ambient Photodetector Current
The MAX86180 operates on a 3.3V analog supply voltage,
a 3.5V to 5.5V LED driver supply voltage, and a 1.8V digital
supply voltage. With two integrated LDOs, the MAX86180 can
operate on a single 3.5V V
2
supply. The device supports
LED
both I C and SPI compatible interfaces in a fully autonomous
way. The device has a large 512-word built-in FIFO. The
MAX86180 is available in 7 x 5 35-bump wafer-level package
(WLP) with package dimensions of 2mm x 2.63mm and oper-
ates over -40ºC to +85ºC temperature range.
• >90dB Ambient Rejection at 120Hz (Average Mode > 2)
