The device operates at low voltage and consumes very little power, making it suitable for battery-operated medical devices.
Detailed Explanation of Pin Functions:
IN1+, IN1-: These are the differential inputs for the first channel. The positive input is labeled IN1+ and the negative input is labeled IN1-. These pins are where the biopotential signals are applied. IN2+, IN2-: Similarly, these are the differential inputs for the second channel. IN2+ is the non-inverting input, and IN2- is the inverting input. REF: This pin is used to set the reference voltage for the output signal. This can be tied to ground or a specific voltage depending on the required signal output range. OUT: This is the output of the amplifier, which will carry the amplified version of the differential input signal. NC: This is a pin that is not connected to anything internally, so it is not used in circuit designs. VSS (Ground): This pin is the ground or negative power supply for the device. VDD (Positive Power Supply): This pin provides the positive power supply to the device. It typically connects to a positive voltage (e.g., +3V or +5V) depending on the system requirements. SD (Shutdown Pin): When this pin is pulled low, it puts the device into a low-power shutdown mode. It’s typically used when the device is not in active use to conserve battery power. CNV: This is the conversion pin used in some configurations to trigger the start of an analog-to-digital conversion process. IN3+, IN3-: These are the differential input pins for the third channel. They work in the same way as IN1+ and IN1-. IN4+, IN4-: Similar to IN3+ and IN3-, these are the differential input pins for the fourth channel.20 Common FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):
