The MAX86178 is a highly integrated, multiple vital-sign monitoring device with a complete photoplethysmogram (PPG), electrocardiogram (ECG) and biopotential (BioZ) analog front end (AFE) for wearable applications. The MAX86178 offers high performance for wellness and clinical applications with low power for long battery life.
The PPG data acquisition system supports up to 6 LEDs and 4 photodiode inputs. The LEDs are programmable from two high-current, 8-bit LED drivers. The receive path has two low-noise, high-resolution readout channels that each include independent 20-bit ADCs and industry-leading ambient light cancellation (ALC) circuits, producing the highest performing integrated optical data acquisition system on the market today.
The ECG channel has EMI filtering, internal lead biasing, right-leg drive, and extensive calibration voltages for built-in self-test. The ECG channel also has high-input impedance, low noise, high CMRR, programmable gain, an anti-aliasing low-pass filter, and a high-resolution ADC. It is designed to meet IEC 60601-2-47 Ambulatory ECG Systems monitoring compliance requirements.
The BioZ receive channel has EMI filtering and extensive calibration features. The BioZ receive channel also has high input impedance, low noise, programmable gain, low-pass and high-pass filter options, and a high-resolution ADC. There are several modes for generating input stimulus: balanced square-wave source/sink current, sine-wave current, and both sine-wave and square-wave voltage stimuli. A wide range of stimulus magnitudes and frequencies is available.
The MAX86178 has DC and AC lead-off detection, a flexible timing system, and a PLL. All three sensor channels are synchronized. The MAX86178 is available in a 7 x 7 49-bump wafer-level package (WLP) with package dimensions of 2.77mm x 2.57mm, and operates over -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

MAX86178EVKIT
Evaluation Kit for the MAX86178
Product Detail
The MAX86178 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a platform to evaluate the functionality and features of the MAX86178 with photoplethysmogram (PPG), electrocardiogram (ECG), and bioimpedance (BioZ) measurement capabilities. The EV kit allows for flexible hardware and software configurations to help the user quickly learn how to configure and optimize the MAX86178 for their own applications.
The MAX86178 is a complete PPG, ECG, and BioZ analog front-end solution that consists of two optical readout channels, one single-lead ECG channel, and a BioZ channel that supports both tetrapolar and bipolar electrode configurations, all of which can operate simultaneously. The optical readout channels support up to 6 LEDs and 4 photodiode inputs. The BioZ channel supports several modes of stimulation: square-wave sink/source currents, sine-wave currents, sine-wave voltages, and square-wave voltages with a range of frequencies to support multiple BioZ applications.
The MAX86178 EV kit consists of two boards. MAXSENSORBLE_EVKIT_B is the microcontroller (MCU) board while MAX86178_EVKIT_C is the sensor board containing the MAX86178. To enable PPG and ECG measurement capabilities, the sensor board also contains 3 LEDs (red, green, and IR), 3 discrete photodi-odes (Vishay VEMD8080), and component configurations on the ECG and BioZ channels. The EV kit can be powered through a USB connection to a PC using a USB-C to USB-A cable or a LiPo Battery. The EV kit communicates with the MAX86178GUI (should be installed in user’s system) through Bluetooth (WINBLE). The EV kit contains the latest firmware and comes with the MAXDAP-TYPE-C programming circuit board in case a firmware change is needed.
