MyMaxim SubscriptionsProduct Details
The MAXM86161 is an ultra-low-power, completely integrated, optical data-acquisition system. On the transmitter side, the MAXM86161 has three programmable high-current LED drivers. On the receiver side, MAXM86161 consists of a high efficiency PIN photo-diode and an optical readout channel. The optical readout has a low-noise signal conditioning analog front-end (AFE), including 19-bit ADC, an industry-lead ambient light cancellation (ALC) circuit, and a picket fence detect and replace algorithm. Due to the low power consumption, compact size, easy, flexible-to-use, and industry lead ambient light rejection capability of the MAXM86161, the device is ideal for a wide variety of optical sensing applications such as heart rate detection and pulse oximetry.
The MAXM86161 operates on a 3.0V to 5.5V VLED single supply voltage. It supports a standard compatible interface and fully autonomous operation. Each device has a large 128-word built-in FIFO. The MAXM86161 is available in compact 2.9mm x 4.3mm x 1.4mm, 14-pin OLGA package.

Description
The MAXM86161EVSYS# evaluation system (EV system) allows for the quick evaluation of the MAXM86161 integrated optical module for applications at various sites on the body, particularly in-ear and mobile applications. The MAXM86161 device communicates using a standard I2C-compatible interface to Maxim’s on-board MAX32664 Biometric Sensor Hub microcontroller (used for Maxim’s algorithm evaluation) or in a pass-through mode for raw data collection. The MAXM86161 device consists of three optical readout channels that can be individually controlled (Green, Red, and IR). The EV system allows for flexible configurations to allow testing of various features of the sensor. Moreover, it helps the user quickly learn how to configure and use the MAXM86161 device.
The primary EV system consists of three circuit board assemblies (MAXSensorBLE_EVKIT, MAXM86161OSBFLEX, and the Cypress CY5677 Dongle), one USB-C to USB-A connector cable, and a Lithium Polymer battery. In addition, two programming circuit boards (MAXM86161_MAX32630_PRGMR_ASSY, and the MAXREFDES100HDK) and one USB-B Micro-to-USB-A Male USB cable are provided for firmware updates if needed.
The EV system can be powered using a USB-C supply or LiPo Battery and comes with a MAXM86161EFD+ device in a 14-pin OLGA package.
The MAXM86161OSBFLEX Flex-Rigid circuit board has a Maxim Integrated MAX32664 Biometric Sensor Hub microcontroller device installed. This Sensor Hub can be used to implement Maxim’s HR/SpO2 Algorithm for evaluation. The MAXM86161 GUI PC application code that allows evaluation of both the MAXM86161EVSYS# and the MAX32664 Sensor Hub is available in the MAXM86161EVSYS# EV System Design Resources tab.
