AD5940
Data Sheet
When an ECG measurement is required, the AD5940 switch
matrix disconnects the AD5940 AFE from the electrodes and
connects to the AD8233 front end. The AD8233 analog output
is connected to the high performance, 16-bit ADC on the
AD5940 through an AINx pin. The measurement data is stored
in the AD5940 data FIFO to be read by the host controller.
USING THE AD5940, AD8232, AND AD8233 FOR
BIOIMPEDANCE AND ELECTROCARDIOGRAM
(ECG) MEASUREMENTS
The AD5940 can be used in conjunction with the AD8232 and
AD8233 to perform bioimpedance and ECG measurements.
The same electrodes can be used to facilitate both measurements.
For details, see AN-1557.
When a bioimpedance measurement (for example, body
composition, hydration, EDA, and so on) is required, the
AD8232 and AD8233 are put into shutdown (the SDN pin on
the AD8232 and AD8233 is controlled by the AD5940
GPIOx pin) and the AD5940 switch matrix disconnects the
AD8232 and AD8233 from the electrodes.
