Maxim Confidential 
MyMaxim SubscriptionsProduct Details
The MAX30112 is a complete optical pulse oximetry and heart rate detection integrated analog front-end. The MAX30112 has a high-resolution, optical readout signal-processing channel with built-in ambient light cancellation, as well as high-current LED driver DACs, to form a complete optical readout signal chain. With external LED(s) and photo diode(s), the MAX30112 offers the lowest power, highest performance heart rate detection solution for wrist applications.
The MAX30112 operates on a 1.8V main supply voltage, with a separate 3.1V to 5.25V LED driver power supply. The device supports a standard I2C compatible interface, as well as shutdown modes through the software with near-zero standby current, allowing the power rails to remain powered at all times.

Description
The MAX30110 evaluation kit (EV kit) allows for the quick evaluation of the MAX30110 and MAX30112 optical AFE for applications at various sites on the body, particularly the wrist. MAX30110 supports standard SPI compatible interface, whereas MAX30112 supports I2C compatible interface. The EV kit allows flexible configurations to optimize measurement signal quality at minimal power consumption. The EV kit helps the user quickly learn how to configure and use the MAX30110 and MAX30112.
The EV kit consists of three boards. MAX30110_UC_ EVKIT is the main data acquisition board while MAX30110_SFH7050_EVKIT and MAX30110_OSB_EVKIT are the sensor daughter boards in which the MAX30110 devices are placed in different optical configurations. The EV kit is powered using the USB supply to generate +1.8V for the AFE and accelerometer and +4.5V for the LEDs.
The EV kit comes with a MAX30110EWG+ in a 24-bump wafer-level package (WLP).
