This New Product Brief (NPB) is part of a video series highlighting the features, applications, and technical specs of newly-released products.
Maxim Integrated Optical Bio-Sensor
Maxim Integrated’s MAXM86161 optical bio-sensor is a complete optical data-acquisition system in a single ultra-low-power module.
The module is optimized for heart rate monitoring and pulse oximetry and is targeted at in-ear medical and fitness applications such as earbuds. The transmitter consists of low-noise programmable current DACs driving green, red, and infrared LEDs, while the receiver includes a high-efficiency photodiode and a low-noise analog front-end.
The MAXM86161 has an industry-leading ambient light cancellation circuit and a built-in algorithm further enhancing the rejection of fast ambient transients. The sensor operates from a single 3 to 5.5 volt supply with low active and shutdown current draw to maximize runtime from small batteries.
The devices are housed in a compact 2.9 by 4.3 by 1.4 millimeter 14-pin OLGA package for in-ear devices and other mobile applications.
