S1 INTRODUCTION

This Technical Supplement provides a description of the principles of pulseoximetry, a block diagram level theory of operation discussion, and aschematic level theory of operation discussion. Part locator diagrams andschematic diagrams are located at the end of this section as fold-outdrawings. These diagrams can be folded out for review while reading thetheory of operation.

S2 PULSE OXIMETRY PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

S2.1 Overview

The NPB-40 is based on the principles of spectrophotometry and opticalplethysmography. Optical plethysmography uses light absorption technologyto reproduce waveforms produced by pulsatile blood. The changes that occurin the absorption of light due to vascular bed changes are reproduced by thepulse oximeter as plethysmographic wave forms.

Spectrophotometry uses various wavelengths of light to qualitatively measurelight absorption through given substances. Many times each second, theNPB-40 passes red and infrared light into the sensor site and determinesabsorption. The measurements that are taken during the arterial pulse,reflect absorption by arterial blood, nonpulsatile blood, and tissue. Themeasurements that are obtained between arterial pulses reflect absorption bynonpulsatile blood and tissue.

By correcting "during pulse" absorption for "between pulse" absorption, theNPB-40 determines red and infrared absorption by pulsatile arterial blood.Because oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin differ in red and infraredabsorption, this corrected measurement can be used to determine the percentof oxyhemoglobin in arterial blood: SpO2 is the ratio of corrected absorptionat each wavelength.

S2.2 Functional Versus Fractional Saturation

The NPB-40 measures functional saturation, that is, oxygenated hemoglobinexpressed as a percentage of the hemoglobin that is capable of transportingoxygen. It does not detect significant levels of dyshemoglobins. In contrast,some instruments such as the IL282 Co-oximeter measure fractionalsaturation, that is, oxygenated hemoglobin expressed as a percentage of allmeasured hemoglobin, including dyshemoglobins.

Consequently, before comparing NPB-40 measurements with those obtainedby an instrument that measures fractional saturation, measurements mustbe converted as follows:

functionalsaturation =

fractionalsaturation x

100100-(% carboxyhemoglobin +%methemoglobin)

Page 34: Nellcor Npb 40 Service Manual

Technical Supplement

S-2

S2.3 Measured versus Calculated Saturation

When saturation is calculated from a blood gas measurement of the partialpressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2), the calculated value may differ from theNPB-40 SpO2 measurement. This is because the calculated saturation maynot have been corrected for the effects of variables that can shift therelationship between PaO2 and saturation.

Figure S2-1 illustrates the effect that variations in pH, temperature, partialpressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2), and concentrations of 2,3-DPG and fetalhemoglobin may have on the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve.

S3 CIRCUIT ANALYSIS

This section provides an explanation of NPB-40 theory of operation usingblock diagrams and schematic diagrams.

The NPB-40 consists of three main functional components described in thefollowing paragraphs:

• The CPU PCB block diagram (Figure S3-2) and schematic diagram(Figure S4-3).

• The LCD PCB block diagram (Figure S3-3) and schematic diagram(Figure S4-4).

• The Front Panel PCB schematic diagram (Figure S4-5).

The relationship between these components and their interconnection isillustrated in the NPB-40 block diagram (Figure S3-1).

The following is a list of terms and definitions used in the followingparagraphs.

Analog to Digital (A/D) converter. The CPU has a 10-bit A/D converter onboard. Up to eight different analog inputs can be provided to the A/D formeasurement.

Central Processing Unit (CPU). An Intel 80C196KC 16-bitmicroprocessor. The CPU sends and receives control signals to the SpO2analog section, display, and printer infrared LED.

High Speed Outputs (HSO). The 6 HSO lines control most of the timing ofthe LED signal pulse and the demodulation of the received signal.

Input and Output (I/O). Digital lines that are used by the CPU to read indata and output data.

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). Two LEDs are used in Nellcor PuritanBennett oximetry sensors. Light is transmitted through body tissue andreceived by a photodetector circuit that converts it to photocurrent. The twowavelengths, which are used for calculation of pulse rate and oxygensaturation in blood, are transmitted at the following frequencies:

• infrared (IR) light at ≈ 915 microns• red light at ≈ 660 microns

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). The three 8-bit PWM outputs can besoftware controlled; their duty cycle can be changed from 0 TO 99.6 percent ofthe total pulse duration. PWM frequency is the crystal frequency of the CPU(10 MHz) divided by 1024. The PWMs control the gains within the analogcircuit.

RCal. Sensor RCal value is a resistance value specific to an individualsensor. This value is used by the software during oxygen saturationcomputations to maximize accuracy.

S3.1 Overall Unit Block Diagram Analysis

Exclusive of batteries covers, keys, and external connectors, the NPB-40consists of three main functional components: the front panel keyboard, theCPU PCB, and the LCD PCB as follows.

• CPU PCB — contains the CPU; power supply circuitry; supportmemory circuits; sensor circuits for battery voltage; a serial data port;LCD backlight control; pulsatile beeper drive circuits; and some displaycontrol circuits.

• LCD PCB — contains the SpO2 analog circuitry and interface to theexternal sensor; the power conditioning circuitry; the LCD display anddisplay driver circuits; the interface circuitry for the printer (which isnot used unless a printer is present); the LCD backlight; and audiooutput hardware.

• Front Panel Keyboard — contains four membrane switches and aline common to all four switches. This assembly connects to the CPUPCB by a flex circuit.

Refer to Figure S3-1 for this NPB-40 block diagram. The CPU PCB and theLCD PCB are each described in more detail in later paragraphs.

The NPB-40 is powered by four AA-size replaceable alkaline batteries. A dcvoltage in the range of 3.6 to 6 Vdc is provided over the life of these batteries.When the voltage from these batteries drops to a level too low to operate theNPB-40, the unit will shut itself off. At that time, the batteries must bereplaced.

The front panel keypad contains four keys that provide discrete signals thatare monitored by the microprocessor on the CPU PCB. Refer to Figure S4-5for a schematic diagram of the front panel keypad.

Power from the batteries is controlled and filtered by the power control andPCB power circuits on the CPU PCB. When the On/Off key is pressed on thefront panel keypad and the unit is turned off, the power control circuits willturn on the unit. If the unit is on when the On/Off key is pressed, the unitwill be turned off. The PCB power circuits provide filtered power for thecircuits on the CPU PCB and raw power is passed to the LCD PCB where it isconditioned for the circuits there.

A patient sensor connected to the NPB-40 contains a resistance that is acalibration reference for the sensor. The analog sensor circuits on the LCDPCB then measure the signal from a photodiode in the sensor that is differentbased on the light absorption characteristics of each patient. That signal isprocessed by the analog sensor circuits and measured by the CPU. The LEDdrive signals are then adjusted by the CPU to obtain an optimum signal fromthe photodiode.

The CPU provides a drive signal for an IR LED on the LCD PCB. When thisIR LED is aligned with a receiving photodiode on an external printer, patientdata stored in the NPB-40 can be printed.

An external output port on the CPU PCB is controlled by the CPU and sendsdrive signals to the beeper and LCD backlight and display data to the LCD.

An external serial data interface, used during testing in manufacturing only,is also controlled by the CPU. This interface is only accessible with a specialtest fixture.

S3.2 CPU PCB Theory of Operation

S3.2.1 CPU

The Intel 80C196KC CPU is a 16-bit microprocessor with built-in peripheralsincluding: a serial port, watchdog timer, A/D converter with an 8-inputanalog multiplexer, three pulse width modulators, two 16-bit counter/timers,up to 48 I/O lines, and a high speed I/O subsystem.

The CPU is capable of running up to 16 MHz, but it is run at 10 MHz fordecreased power consumption. All unused inputs are tied to either Vcc orground through resistors—this prevents unused inputs floating to anyvoltage and causing excess power drain. The READY input pin is tied high,thereby disabling wait-state generation; all bus accesses are zero wait-state.The EA pin is tied low to enable addressing of the external EPROM.

When the power supply is first switched on by the power control circuit, thewatchdog reset circuit holds the CPU RESET pin low for at least 20 ms, thenallows the internal pull-up resistor to bring it high; this assures a good CPUreset.

An internal watchdog timer is enabled and runs continuously. The watchdogtimer provides a means of recovering from a software upset caused by ESD,EMI, etc.. If the software does not clear the timer at least every 64Kstate-times (13.1 ms), the CPU will drive RESET low, resetting the entireunit. The reset output by the CPU is only 16 state-times long (3.2 µs).

The CPU has the ability to dynamically switch the data bus width—based onthe BUSWIDTH input pin. A low on BUSWIDTH tells the CPU to accessmemory only 8 bits at a time. When accessing the static RAM, BUSWIDTH islow, automatically reading the 8-bit wide RAM. Since BUSWIDTH isconnected to the active low RAM enable line (RAMEN-L), all other memoryand mapped I/O are read or written 16 bits at a time.

Eight analog inputs are measured by the CPU. Input from the SpO2 analogsection on the LCD PCB includes AC and DC signals for the oximeter sensorred and infrared channels, and the sensor calibration resistor RSENS. Thebattery voltage and reference voltage from the LCD PCB are also measured.

The CPU is configured as follows:

• Decoded AD0 and BHE generate separate WR write strobes for the lowand high bytes of a word. The signal WR (pin WRL) is the low-bytewrite strobe.

• A standard address latch enable (ALE) is generated and used.

• HSO4 and HSO5 are configured as outputs. The HSO is used togenerate stable timing control signals to the SpO2 analog section,display, and printer driver.

• External control pins: P2.2, P2.3, and P2.4 are configured to monitorfront panel keyboard keys Store Data/Print, Display Light/Beep On/Off,and Shift keys, respectively.

• Pins HSI0 is configured for interrupt input. The CPU receives oneexternal interrupt (signal PHOTOI).

Page 40: Nellcor Npb 40 Service Manual

Technical Supplement

S-8

• P2.0 and P2.1 are configured as a standard asynchronous serialtransmitter and receiver for a factory serial interface.

• P2.5, P1.3, and P1.4 are configured as pulse width modulator outputs.They are used with outputs from P1.6 and P2.6 to control gains withinthe SpO2 analog section.

S3.2.1.1 Address Demultiplexing

U10 and U11 are transparent latches that latch the address portion of the ADbus data on the falling edge of ALE; the outputs are always enabled. Theoutputs of U10 and U11 are always the address portion of the AD bus.

S3.2.1.2 Address Decoding

The CPU has a 64-Kbyte address range of 0-FFFF. RAM, EPROM, and I/Oports share this space. The address decoding circuit splits up this space andoutput enable lines to the RAM, EPROM, and external output ports.

When address lines A13, A14, A15 are all high, the output of U7C goes low,enabling the RAM and generates the active low enable signal RAMEN-L.This occurs for the 8K address range of E000-FFFF.

U8 is used to generate the output port active low enable signal EXOUTEN-L.When address lines A15, A14, A11, and A10 are high, and A13 is low, U8becomes enabled. With U8 enabled, the Y3 output is set low. The output to golow is selected by pins A, B, and C. They form a 3-bit binary number with pinC being the most significant bit. So when address line A12 is high, WR active(low) and RD inactive (high), a binary 3 is produced on pins A, B, and C,forcing output Y3 (EXOUTEN-L) low. This enables the output port forwriting. Note that in this condition, A15, A14, A12, A11, and A10 are highand A13 is low.

The output port uses the address space of DE00-DFFF. When data is writtento that address, the output port enable signal EXOUTEN-L is activated.Because the CPU is configured to use a 16-bit bus, except for RAM, any evenaddress in the DE00-DFFF range could be used for external port access. Inother words, reading or writing address DF00, DE02, DE04, etc., will allproduce the same results.

U7A generates the EPROMs active low enable signal, ROMEN-L. The activelow signals RAMEN-L and EXOUTEN-L are basically used as EPROMdisable signals. When RAMEN-L or EXOUTEN-L or the Y3 output of U8 arelow, the output of U7A, ROMEN-L, is forced high, disabling the ROM.Therefore, the EPROM is disabled for the range DE00-FFFF and enabled forthe address range of 0-DFFF.

S3.2.2 CPU Memory

The memory system external to the CPU consists of an 8 K x 8 static RAM(U12) and a 64 K x 16 EPROM (U5). The EPROM is 16 bits wide to enhanceCPU performance. Because RAM is infrequently accessed, it is only 8 bitswide. U12 is a standard 8K x 8 static RAM.

Page 41: Nellcor Npb 40 Service Manual

Technical Supplement

S-9

The program that the CPU runs is stored in U5. U5 is a 16-bit wide output,one-time programmable (OTP) EPROM. During 16-bit wide bus accesses, theCPU uses address line A0 for low/high byte selection, and is not used as anormal address line. The CPU can only address 64K x 8 bytes or 32K x 16bytes. Pin A15 of U5 is tied low, always selecting the lower half of theEPROM. Signal ROMEN-L is then used to enable the EPROM for the propermemory area.

The output port external to the CPU consists of an octal D latch, U9. Theoutput of U9 is always enabled. The output bits of U9 control the beeperoutput, the LCD backlight, and the LCD display drive signals.

S3.2.3 Standard User Controls

The standard user controls consist of four momentary push-button switcheson the front panel keypad. These keys are metal dome membrane contactswitches.

The front panel switches Store Data/Print, Display Light/Beep On/Off, andShift are connected to the microprocessor, U4, input lines P2.2, P2.3, andP2.4 and are normally pulled to the high state by R10, R8, and R18.Whenever one of these keys is pressed, the U4 input line is pulled low. Theswitch contacts are debounced in software.

The fourth front panel switch, On/Off, is connected to the power switchdescribed Power Supply/Power Control Circuitry .

S3.2.4 Power Supply/Power Control Circuitry

The power supply and power control circuitry consists of the followingprimary elements.

• Batteries — Four 1.5 V alkaline "AA" size batteries provide 3.6-6 Vdcpower.

• Power entry circuit — Components protect the NPB-40 from damageif batteries are inserted incorrectly and provide reverse current limitingand over-voltage or spike protection. In addition, a self-resetting fuseprotects the power supply from excessive current draw. The powersupply is also protected against electrostatic discharge andelectromagnetic interference.

• Power switch circuitry — This circuit controls power applied to thepower supply circuits. Power control circuitry is connected to thebatteries. It senses any press of the front panel keypad On/Off key andswitches the power supply circuit on or off. A control signal to thiscircuit from the CPU will also shut off the NPB-40 when battery voltagedrops to an unusable level.

• Power supply circuits —consist of a power generation circuit thatprovides +10Vdc, +5Vdc, and -5Vdc.

Page 42: Nellcor Npb 40 Service Manual

S-10

S3.2.4.1 Power Entry Circuitry

Self-resetting fuse R22 protects the NPB-40 and will open when current inexcess of 0.75 Amps is drawn by the unit. R22 will close when the conditioncausing excessive current has been eliminated. CR7 provides reverse currentprotection and limits negative voltages (batteries reversed) to safe levels. Ineither of these conditions, CR7 will conduct and cause fuse R22 to open. CR5protects against large voltage transients caused by ESD, EMI, etc. and willpass these undesirable transients to ground.

S3.2.4.2 Power Supply Feedback Circuitry

The power supply feedback circuit consists of Q1 and its associatedcomponents. When batteries are installed and the NPB-40 is turned off, thebattery voltage (VBAT) is applied through resistor R2 at the collector of Q1providing a logic 1 level voltage to the D input of flip-flop U1B in the powerswitch circuit. When the NPB-40 is turned off, VCC is at 0 volts and Q1 isturned off. When the NPB-40 is turned on (See “Power Switch Circuitry”), theVCC potential is applied to the base of Q1, which turns it on. The voltage atthe D input of U1B then drops to a low voltage to provide a logic 0.

S3.2.4.3 Power Switch Circuitry

The power control circuit consists of U1B and its associated components. U1Bis a D flip/flop with asynchronous preset and clear; only the clear is used.Battery voltage is applied to U1B whenever batteries are installed. The NPB-40 is turned on and off by pressing the On/Off key on the front panel keypad.

The BTN PWR line is normally pulled up to the battery voltage by R3. Whenbattery voltage is at an acceptable level and the On/Off key on the front panelkeypad is pressed, the BTN PWR line is grounded and the resultant high-going pulse from U2A toggles the CLK input of U1B and the high D inputlogic level is transferred to the Q output. The logic state of the D input iscontrolled by the power supply feedback circuitry (See “Power SupplyFeedback Circuitry”). When the NPB-40 is off the D input of U1B is high.Pressing the front panel On/Off key sets the Q output and the PWR ONsignal high. This enables the power supply circuits, which then generate theoperating voltages for the NPB-40. The Q-not output of U1B is applied to U4analog to digital converter input P0.6 through a battery voltage sensingcircuit consisting of U2B, R14, R17, and C14. When the battery voltage dropsbelow 3.6 Vdc, as measured by U4, the PWR DOWN line at U4 output HSO3goes high and turns on Q2, which clears flip-flop U1B and the PWR ONsignal at the Q output goes low and turns off the power supply circuits.

When the NPB-40 is turned on, the D input of U1B is low (See “Power SupplyFeedback Circuitry”). When On/Off key on the front panel keypad is pressed,the BTN PWR line is grounded and the resultant high going pulse from U2Atoggles the CLK input of U1B and the low D input logic level is transferred tothe Q output. This sets the Q output and the PWR ON signal low, whichturns off the power supply circuits.

S3.2.4.4 Power Supply Circuits

When the PWR ON signal at the S/S input of U3 is high, U3 generates asquare wave signal that drives the primary winding of transformer T1. Thethree secondary windings of T1 are rectified and filtered to provideRAW+10V, VCC (+5Vdc), and RAW-5V. The VCC signal is resistor divided byR9 and R12 for a feedback voltage that U3 must see to continue operating.VCC is used on the CPU and the LCD PCBs for operating circuit power.RAW+10V and RAW-5V are supplied to the LCD PCB for backlight powerand for power conditioning for the SpO2 analog circuits.

S3.2.5 Serial Interface

The serial interface is only used for factory test purposes, and is not at theRS-232 level, neither is it electrically isolated and, therefore, cannot be usedoutside of the factory. The serial data port J5 is a TTL level serial interface.RXD and TXD are configured as a standard asynchronous serial transmitterand receiver at 19.2 Kbaud with 1 stop bit, 8 data bits, and no parity. Theserial interface can operate in full duplex mode. If no external serial datadevice is connected, R19 pulls the RXD input high which prevents the inputfrom floating when it is not being used.

S3.2.6 Printer Control

Microprocessor U4 provides a drive signal (IR OUT) at HSO5 that controls aninfrared LED on the LCD PCB which is used to interface with an externalprinter.

S3.2.7 External VCC Monitor and Watchdog Timer

The external VCC monitor and watchdog timer circuit consists of U6 andassociated components. U6 provides two functions. If the VCC input voltagedrops below 4.0 Vdc, U6 will drive the RST-L line low, which resetsmicroprocessor, U4. U6 also periodically receives the WD RST pulse outputfrom U4. If U6 does not receive the WD RST signal at least every 500 ms, itwill drive the RST-L line low, which resets U4.

S3.3 LCD PCB Theory of Operation

Refer to Figure S3-3 for the LCD PCB block diagram and to Figure S4-4 forthe LCD PCB schematic diagram in the following description. This subsectiondescribes the SpO2 analog hardware. The analog circuitry has high signalsensitivity and reduced susceptibility to noise. Its design allows for a wide rangeof input signal levels and a broad range of pulsatile modulation. The SpO2 analogcircuitry consists of four subsections:

• Sensor output/LED control —The CPU controls the gain of bothLEDs so that signals received at the input amplifier are within anacceptable dynamic range. Signal channel gain may also need to beincreased. The CPU uses Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) lines tocontrol LED current level or to amplify the signal channel.

• Input conditioning —Sensor output current is converted to voltage. Ademodulation circuit minimizes the effects of other light sources andstray frequency inputs. Because the IR and RED signals are at differentcurrent levels, the two LED signals are demultiplexed and separatelyamplified, so they can be compared with each other. Two circuits handlethe demultiplexing by alternately selecting LED signals using switches.

S-12

Filters then remove noise and smooth the signals before sending themto the amplifiers.

• Signal gain —The separated LED signals are amplified so that theircurrent levels are within the A/D converter's acceptable range. Thesignals are filtered to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, and clamped toa reference voltage.

• AC ranging —DC offset is eliminated from each LED signal. Ananalog switch sets the mean signal value to the mean of the A/Dconverter range, and the AC modulation is superimposed on that DClevel. Then, each AC signal is amplified and filtered to eliminateresidual effects of the PWM modulations. Finally, these two signals areinput to the CPU A/D converter.

S3.3.1 Sensor Output/LED Control

The SpO2 analog circuitry provides control of the red and IR LEDs such thatthe received signals are within the dynamic range of the input amplifier.Because excessive current to the LEDs will induce changes in their spectraloutput, it is sometimes necessary to increase the received signal channelgain. To that point, the CPU controls both the current to the LEDs and theamplification in the signal channel.

Page 46: Nellcor Npb 40 Service Manual

Technical Supplement

S-14

At initialization of transmission, the LEDs' intensity level is based onprevious running conditions, and the transmission intensity is adjusted untilthe received signals match the range of the A/D converter. If the LEDs reachmaximum output without the necessary signal strength, the PWMs willincrease the channel gain. The PWM lines will select either a change in theLED current or signal gain, but will not do both simultaneously.

The LED drive circuit switches between red and IR transmission and disablesboth for a time between transmissions in order to provide a no-transmissionreference. To prevent excessive heat build-up and prolong battery life, eachLED is on for only a small portion of the duty cycle. Also, the frequency ofswitching is well above that of motion artifact and not a harmonic of knownAC transmissions. The LED switching frequency is 1.485 kHz. The IRtransmission alone, and the red transmission alone, will each be on for aboutone-fifth of the duty cycle; this cycle is controlled by the HSOs of the CPU.

The IR and red LEDs are separately controlled with their drive currentsmultiplexed over two shared wires. Current to the IR LED is in the range of4.3-50.0 mA; and, current to the red LED is in the range of 4.3 to 50 mA.Currents are limited to less than 100 mA for two reasons: (1) slight excesscurrent can potentially change the emission characteristics of the LEDs, and(2) large excess current could create excessive heat at the sensor site.

The IR/red LED transmission signal (HSO1 of the CPU) is fed into the selectinputs of the triple single-pole-double-throw (SPDT) analog multiplexingswitch U7, causing either the IR or the red LED transmission to be enabled.

PWM1, which is filtered by the network of R45, R35, C41, and C42, is inputto the LED drive circuit switch U7 and controls the magnitude of the IR LEDcurrent supply.

PWM2, which is filtered by the network of R29, R39, C35, and C23, is alsoinput to U7 and controls the red LED current magnitude.

Two NPN transistors (Q8 and Q10) act as current sources for the IR and redLED outputs. Two PNP transistors (Q9 and Q11) act as switches between theIR and red LED output lines. Transistor Q12 acts as an LED drive currentlimiter; it clamps the output of the current regulator circuit to the requiredlevel. If any resistor in the LED drive circuit fails, current to the LED willstill be limited to a safe level.

The RSENS line senses the RCal value and enables the CPU to make theproper calculations based on the type of sensor being used.

S3.3.2 Input Conditioning

Input to the SpO2 analog circuit is the current output of the sensorphotodiode. In order to condition the signal current, it is necessary to convertthe current to voltage.

A differential synchronous demodulation circuit is used to reduce the effectsof other light sources and stray frequency inputs to the system. Because theIR and red signals are absorbed differently by body tissue, their receivedsignal intensities are at different levels. Therefore, the IR and red signalsmust be demodulated and then amplified separately in order to comparethem to each other. Demultiplexing is accomplished by means of two circuitsthat alternately select the IR and red signal. Selection of the circuits iscontrolled by two switches that are coordinated with the IR and redtransmissions. A filter with a large time constant follows to smooth the signaland remove noise before amplification.

Page 47: Nellcor Npb 40 Service Manual

S-15

Before the current from the photodetector is converted to voltage, any highfrequency noise is filtered by C9 and R21. The op-amp U5A is used in parallelwith the current-to-voltage converter U5B to cancel any DC voltage,effectively AC coupling the output of U5B. The average value of the SpO2analog reference voltage (VREF) of U5B, 5 V, is measured at test point 6.

U3B, a single-pole-single-throw (SPST) analog switch, is controlled by thesame line that controls the on/off pulsing of the LEDs. When either of theLEDs are on (the line is low and the switch is closed) U4B is used as anoninverting amplifier. When the LEDs are both off, U4B is used aninverting amplifier. The signal at the output of amplifier U4B is thendemultiplexed.

The CPU HSO lines SAMPRED and SAMPIR, which are both active low,control SPST analog switches in U3A and U3C respectively. Switch U3A isclosed to sample the red signal; switch U3C is closed to sample the IR signal.The sampling rate for both switches is 10 kHz. Switching is coordinated withthe LED transmission so that the IR and red signals are each sampled twiceper cycle; that is, once when the LED is off (signal inverted), and once whenthe LED is on (signal not inverted). The filtering circuit that follows has along time constant, thereby acting as an averaging circuit.

If the instantaneous average photocurrent (DC offset) is excessive and U5Bcannot bring it to VREF, the PHOTOI line to the CPU (HSI0) is activated.This action is an indication of excess ambient light into the photosensor, orthe occurrence of excess noise in the input circuit. It also serves as a warningto the instrument that the sensor signal may be contaminated and causes thesoftware to send an error message.

S3.3.3 Signal Gain

The separated IR and red signals are amplified so that their DC values arewithin the range of the A/D converter. Because the received IR and redsignals are typically at different current levels, the signal gain circuitsprovide independent amplification for each signal as needed. The gain inthese circuits is adjusted by means of the PWM lines.

After the IR and red signals are amplified, they are filtered to improve thesignal-to-noise ratio and clamped to a reference voltage to prevent thecombined AC and DC signal from exceeding an acceptable input voltage fromthe A/D converter.

S3.3.3.1 Variable Gain Circuits

The two variable gain circuits are functionally equivalent. The gain of eachcircuit is contingent upon the signal’s received level and is controlled to bringeach signal to approximately 3.5 V. Each circuit uses an amplifier and oneswitch in the triple SPDT analog multiplexing unit U9.

The gain in each of the circuits is accomplished by means of a feedback loop,which includes one of the SPDT switches in U9. The PWMs control whetherthe feedback loop is connected to ground or to the amplifier output. Thefeedback is then averaged by C17/R27 (red), and C20/R26 (IR). The higher thevalue of PWM2, the greater the IR gain; the higher the value of PWM1, thegreater the red gain.

S3.3.3.2 Filtering Circuits

These circuits consist of two cascaded second-order filters with a breakfrequency of 10 Hz. Diodes (CR1/CR2 for the red channel, CR4/CR3 for the IRchannel) connected to VREF and ground at the positive inputs of the secondamplifiers, maintain the voltage output within the range of the A/Dconverter.

S3.3.4 AC Ranging

In order to achieve a specified level of oxygen saturation measurement and tostill use a standard-type combined CPU and A/D converter, the DC offset issubtracted from each signal. Because the DC portion of the signal can be onthe order of one thousand times the AC modulation, 16 bits of A/D conversionwould otherwise be required to accurately compare the IR and redmodulations between the combined AC and DC signals. The DC offsets aresubtracted by using an analog switch to set the mean signal value to themean of the range of the A/D converter whenever necessary. The ACmodulation is then superimposed upon that DC level. This is also known asAC ranging.

Each AC signal is subsequently amplified such that its peak-to-peak valuesspan one-fifth of the range of the A/D converter. The amplified AC signals arethen filtered to remove the residual effects of the PWM modulations and,finally, are input to the CPU. The combined AC and DC signals for both IRand red signals are separately input to the A/D converter.

S3.3.4.1 Offset Subtraction Circuits

Voltage dividers R53 and R49 (red), and R61 and R63 (IR), which are locatedbetween VREF and ground, establish a baseline voltage of 2.75 V at the inputof the unity gain amplifiers U12C (red) and U12D (IR).

Whenever SPST analog switches U11A and U11D are closed by HSO0 (activelow), the DC portions of the IR and red signals create a charge, which isstored on C54 and C46, respectively. These capacitors hold this charge evenafter the switches are opened and the resulting voltage is subtracted from thecombined signal — leaving only the AC modulation output. This AC signal issuperimposed on the baseline voltage output by U12C and U12D. The IRDCand REDDC are then filtered and input to the microprocessor on the CPUPCB.

S3.3.4.2 AC Variable Gain Control Circuits

The AC modulations are amplified by U12A (red) and U12B (IR) andsuperimposed on the baseline voltages present at the output of U12D (IR) andU12C (red). The amplification is handled by means of the SPDT analogmultiplexing switch U13 within the feedback loop, which increases gain asPWM0 is increased. The IRAC and REDAC are then filtered and input to themicroprocessor on the CPU PCB.

S3.3.5 Audio Output

LS1, a piezo ceramic sounder, is the audio output device. Due to its low drivecurrent of 2 mA maximum, no drive circuitry is needed and is driven directlyfrom the external output port. It is differentially driven with 2 square waves180 degrees out of phase. The drive frequency is approximately 1480 Hz or740 Hz and is generated by the CPU. LS1 is differentially driven to obtainmaximum audible volume.

S3.3.6 Display Control Circuitry

The LCD CE, LCD CLK, and LCD DATA from external output port U9 andLCD EN from the microprocessor on the CPU PCB are connected to the LCDdrive IC, U1. U1, in turn, drives the individual segments of the LCD. Themicroprocessor drives LCD CE and LCD EN high, connected to the U1 CEand INH inputs, respectively. At that time, data on the LCD DATA line isclocked into U1 by the LCD CLK line. U1 then decodes the data input andturns the proper segments on or off on the LCD. The INH inhibit input of U1is held low by resistor R9 until the line is driven high by the LCD EN signalfrom microprocessor on the CPU PCB. This assures that the display isblanked until it is under microprocessor control. Should the microprocessorbe reset, the LCD EN line goes to a floating state, R9 then pulls the INHinput to U1 low, and the display is blanked.

S3.3.7 Power Conditioning Circuitry

Unfiltered positive (RAW+10V) and negative (RAW-5V) voltages from theCPU PCB are applied to the power conditioning circuit. RAW+10V is filteredby a circuit consisting of R6, C1, and C2 to provide a clean and stable +10 Vdc operating voltage for LCD PCB SpO2 analog and other circuits. Likewise,RAW-5V is filtered by a circuit consisting of R11, C8, and C10 to provide aclean and stable -5 V dc operating voltage for the LCD PCB circuits. Afiltered +5Vdc (VCC) from the CPU PCB is also used as VCC by circuits onthe LCD PCB.

S3.3.8 Analog Reference Voltage

RAW +10V from the CPU PCB is applied to a filter consisting of R7 and C6 tocreate VIN that is used by voltage converter U2 to create VREF. U2 providesan accurate, regulated voltage that is used as the reference voltage for theA/D inside the microprocessor U4 on the CPU PCB. Filtering is provided byC7, C9, and R12. The voltage output VREF is + 5 Vdc.

S3.3.9 LCD Backlighting

RAW+10V from the CPU PCB is used as power for the LCD backlight. TheLCD backlight consists of LEDs DS1 through DS6. Resistors R3 and R4provide current limiting for the LEDs. Transistor Q2 is turned on when theLCD LIGHT signal from external output port U9 on the CPU PCB goes highwhich, in turn, illuminates the backlight LEDs.

S3.3.10 Printer Drive Circuit

The printer drive circuit consists of R1, R2, Q1, and DS7. The IR OUT signalfrom microprocessor U4 on the CPU PCB controls transistor Q1 which, inturn, controls infrared LED DS7. DS7 is used to provide a data signal that istransmitted to an external printer with an infrared receiver.
