Applications like optical heart rate and SpO2 monitoring are based on the principle of Photoplethysmography (PPG). The primary challenges in PPG signal acquisition on a wrist-worn variable are: (i) small sensor size, (ii) relatively weak signal on wrist (low perfusion index), and (iii) interferers like ambient light and motion artifacts. TI’s signal chain for PPG signal acquisition has 3 unique characteristics that help achieve excellent signal quality even in the most challenging conditions: (i) high gain transimpedance amplifier (TIA) to improve the SNR, (ii) DC offset cancellation DAC at the input, and (iii) noise reduction filter to reduce the optical noise bandwidth. These unique features help achieve excellent dynamic range at extremely low power consumption.
