GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADPD174GGI is a complete photometric system designed to
measure optical signals from ambient light and from synchronous
reflected LED pulses. Synchronous measurement offers best-in-
class rejection of ambient light interference, both dc and ac. The
module integrates a highly efficient photometric front end, three
LEDs, and a photodiode (PD). All of these items are housed in a
custom package that prevents light from going directly from the
LED to the photodiode without first entering the subject.
The front end of the ASIC consists of a control block, a 14-bit
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a 20-bit burst accumula-
tor, and three flexible, independently configurable LED drivers.
The control circuitry includes flexible LED signaling and synchro-
nous detection. The analog front end (AFE) features best-in-class
rejection of signal offset and corruption due to modulated
interference commonly caused by ambient light. The data
output and functional configuration occur over a 1.8 V I2C
interface.
