3 Description

The AFE4510 is a versatile signal acquisition system

that supports acquiring PPG, EDA, ECG, and Bioimpedance

signals. A PPG signal chain comprises a

current driver for LEDs and a receiver that senses

the signal from PDs. An ECG receiver with a Rightleg

drive (RLD) can acquire a single-lead ECG from

a pair of electrodes. An impedance measurement

signal chain with integrated excitation & sense can be

used for applications like BIA, EDA, and Impedance

spectroscopy. The outputs of the various signal chains

are digitized by a common ADC and stored in a FIFO

which can be read out using an SPI interface
