Hardware Overview

How does it work?

Oximeter 2 Click is based on the ADPD144RI, a highly integrated, photometric front end optimized for photoplethysmography (PPG) detection of blood oxygenation from Analog Devices. It combines highly efficient red and infrared LED emitters, with 660nm red and 880nm IR wavelengths, and a sensitive 4-channel photodiode with a custom ASIC that provides optical isolation between the integrated LED emitters and the detection photodiodes to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. It uses synchronous detection of optical pulses to enhance the rejection of ambient light in addition to low power consumption. The Oximeter 2 Click is designed for ultralow direct optical reflections, with independent AFE settings per channel and I2C control interface. The integrated LED emitters produce light

pulses in sync with the active sampling period of the AFE, which consists of a programmable TIA, a band-pass filter, and an integrator. The processed analog signals are digitized by a 14-bit ADC and summed by the 20-bit burst accumulator. Four simultaneous sampling channels are matrixed into two independent time slots (one for each LED wavelength). An adjustable number of pulses per sample, accumulation, and averaging can be applied to multiple samples to increase the dynamic range to 27 bits. Oximeter 2 Click communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface, with a typical clock frequency of 400kHz. A high-speed I2C interface reads data from output registers directly or through a FIFO buffer. All register writes are single words only and

require 16 bits of data. It also comes with a programmable interrupt line, labeled as INT and routed on the INT pin of the mikroBUS™ socket that simplifies timely data access. The ADPD144RI does not require a specific Power-Up sequence but requires a supply voltage of 1.8V to work properly. Therefore, a small regulating LDO, the ADP160 from Analog Devices, provides a 1.8V out of 3.3V mikroBUS™ rail. This Click board™ can only be operated with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.

Features overview

Development board

Clicker 2 for Kinetis is a compact starter development board that brings the flexibility of add-on Click boards™ to your favorite microcontroller, making it a perfect starter kit for implementing your ideas. It comes with an onboard 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4F microcontroller, the MK64FN1M0VDC12 from NXP Semiconductors, two mikroBUS™ sockets for Click board™ connectivity, a USB connector, LED indicators, buttons, a JTAG programmer connector, and two 26-pin headers for interfacing with external electronics. Its compact design with clear and easily recognizable silkscreen markings allows you to build gadgets with unique functionalities and

features quickly. Each part of the Clicker 2 for Kinetis development kit contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. In addition to the possibility of choosing the Clicker 2 for Kinetis programming method, using a USB HID mikroBootloader or an external mikroProg connector for Kinetis programmer, the Clicker 2 board also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development kit. It provides two ways of board-powering; through the USB Micro-B cable, where onboard voltage regulators provide the appropriate voltage levels to each component on the board, or

using a Li-Polymer battery via an onboard battery connector. All communication methods that mikroBUS™ itself supports are on this board, including the well-established mikroBUS™ socket, reset button, and several user-configurable buttons and LED indicators. Clicker 2 for Kinetis is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem, allowing you to create a new application in minutes. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output via Debug Mode

1. Once the code example is loaded, pressing the "DEBUG" button initiates the build process, programs it on the created setup, and enters Debug mode.

2. After the programming is completed, a header with buttons for various actions within the IDE becomes visible. Clicking the green "PLAY" button starts reading the results achieved with the Click board™. The achieved results are displayed in the Application Output tab.

Code example

This example can be found in NECTO Studio. Feel free to download the code, or you can copy the code below.

/*!
 * \file main.c
 * \brief Oximeter2 Click example
 * 
 * # Description
 * This application collects data from the sensor, calculates it and then logs
 * the result.
 *
 * The demo application is composed of two sections :
 * 
 * ## Application Init 
 * Initializes driver and performs the device configuration which puts Time Slot A
 * and Time Slot B modes to active state.
 * Before the device configuration, the SW reset will be performed, which puts
 * the registers in their initial state.
 * 
 * ## Application Task  
 * Application measures value of oxygen level in human's blood.
