MAX86150EVSYS#

Maxim introduces the industry's first integrated PPG and ECG biosensor module for mobile devices. Designers now have an easier way to deliver photoplethysmogram (PPG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements for health monitoring from a battery-powered device. The new MAX86150 is a first-of-a kind biosensor module, comprised of internal LEDs, photodetectors and an ECG analog front-end to provide highly accurate, FDA-certifiable PPG and ECG performance in compact, power-saving designs, including mobile phones, laptops, tablets and smart speakers. Delivering synchronized PPG and ECG measurements has been challenging because designers had to use two separate biosensors that consume more board space and power than a mobile device can typically afford. Achieving high accuracy in the measurements has also been challenging, especially where sensor sensitivity might be impacted by low perfusion levels or dry skin. The MAX86150 overcomes these challenges, sampling both PPG and ECG simultaneousl
