ANALOG DEVICES MAX86177 Evaluation System
General Description
The MAX86177 evaluation system (EV system) allows for the quick evaluation of the MAX86177 optical AFE for applications at various sites on the body, particularly the wrist. The EV sys supports both I2C and SPI com-patible interfaces. The EV sys has four optical readout channels that operate simultaneously. The EV sys allows flexible configurations to optimize measurement signal quality at minimal power consumption. The EV sys sup-ports file logging and flash logging, allowing the user to disconnect from the computer for more convenient data capturing sessions, such as overnight or outdoor running.
The EV sys consists of two boards. MAXSENSORBLE_ EVKIT_B is the main data acquisition board while MAX86177_OSB_EVKIT_A is the sensor daughter board for the MAX86177. To enable PPG measurement capa-bilities, the sensor board contains six LEDs (two OSRAM SFH7016, red, green, and IR 3-in-1 LED package) and eight discrete photodiodes (OSRAM SFH2704), and an accelerometer. The EV sys is powered through a LiPo bat-tery attached inside it and can be charged using a Type-C port. The EV Sys communicates with MAX86177GUI (should be installed in user’s system) using Bluetooth® built into Windows (Win BLE). The EV sys contains the latest firmware but comes with the programming circuit board MAXDAP-TYPE-C in case a firmware upgrade is needed.
