Abstract:
An ECG sensor chip used in a wearable appliance includes; a switch controlled by a switching signal, an amplifier that amplifies a difference between first and second ECG signals, and a location indicator that generates the switching signal. The switch passes either a first ECG signal or second ECG signal in response to the switching signal.
Abstract:
An analog front end (AFE) system for substantially eliminating quantization error or noise can combine an input of an integrator circuit in the AFE system with an input of the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuit in the feedback loop of the AFE system. By combining the input of the integrator with the input of the DAC circuit in the feedback loop, the in-band quantization noise of the filter can be substantially eliminated, thereby improving measurement accuracy.

The device includes a plurality of electrodes disposed at spaced apart positions about a patient's body and a control unit. The control unit includes a sensor interface, a memory and a processor. The sensor interface is coupled to the plurality of electrodes and configured to receive a first ECG signal from a first pairing of the plurality of electrodes and to receive a second ECG signal from a second pairing of the plurality of electrodes. The memory stores information indicating a preferred pairing, the preferred pairing being either the first pairing or the second pairing. The processor is coupled to the sensor interface and the memory and is configured to resolve conflicts between interpretations of first ECG signal and the second ECG signal in favor of the preferred pairing.
Abstract:
A coordinating interface for electrophysiological signals provides inputs for ECG and intra-cardiac electrodes and provides a computer controllable processing path outputting data using a shareable digital data output. Requests received over a digital control line allow the computer to control a multiway switch and analog filter set to arbitrate among different uses of the electrophysiological signals by different devices. A single coordinating interface helps reduce interference from competing uses. Pre-stored configuration data simplifies the connection of different devices having different uses of the physiological data.
