PS25201A / B EPIC Ultra High Impedance Electrophysiological Sensor Data Sheet 291841 issue 3 FEATURES Ordering Information Ultra high input resistance, typically 20G. Dry-contact capacitive coupling. PS25201B Input capacitance as low as 15pF. Custom package Lower -3dB point typically 200mHz. -25C to +75C Upper -3dB point typically 10kHz. Operates with bipolar power supply from 2.4V to Plessey Semiconductors Electric Potential 5.5V. Integrated Circuit (EPIC) product line targets a Sensors supplied in a custom package with exposed range of applications. pins for surface mount assembly. The PS25201B is an ultra high impedance solid state ECG (electrocardiograph) sensor. It APPLICATIONS can be used as a dry contact ECG sensor without the need for potentially dangerous low Contact ECG signal detection for: impedance circuits across the heart. The Non-critical patient monitoring resolution available is as good as or better equipment. than conventional wet electrodes. Emergency response diagnostics. Lifestyle sports and health products. The device uses active feedback techniques to Suitable for long-term and remote both lower the effective input capacitance of the monitoring. sensing element (Cin) and boost the input resistance (Rin). These techniques are used to realise a sensor with a frequency response suitable for both diagnostic and monitoring ECG applications.
