Simplifies design by integrating all common features required for ECG and EEG front ends, using up to 95 percent fewer components for significant board-space savings.

• Eight low-noise PGAs.
• Eight high-resolution, simultaneous sampling ADCs.
• Integrated amplifier for right-leg drive.
• Integrated amplifiers for Wilson Central Terminal (WCT) and Goldberger Central Terminals (GCT).
• Digital pace detection capability.
• Continuous lead-off detection.
• Onboard oscillator and reference for smaller footprint and low-power applications.

Power consumption of 1 mW/channel results in up to 95 percent less power use than discrete implementations, increasing equipment portability and improving patient mobility.

4 µVpp (typical) input-referred noise is far superior to the limits set in IEC60601-2-27/51 for more accurate measurements in portable equipment and high channel-density, high-end range ECG and EEG equipment.

Succeeding four- and six-channel versions and 16-bit versions offers designers a migration path to varying resolutions and channel combinations for low-noise medical instrumentation. Examples include patient monitoring, rest and stress ECG, fetal monitoring, hospital and public access AEDs, as well as sports and fitness monitors.
