  • Page 106: Channel A Pin Diode Circuitry

    Theory of Operation: Dual Ultrasound Board The actual switching of the ultrasound input/output to the two transducers is accomplished using PIN diodes D1–D4. The signals PIN1* and PIN2* control the switching of quad analog switch U25 which routes +6 V and –6 V to resistors R1 and R2 and consequently bias the PIN diodes on or off.

    Theory of Operation: Dual Ultrasound Board Transmission, Channel A or Channel B Two channels are implemented; however, both channels share part of the same signal path. The ultrasound transmitter circuitry is formed by transistors Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4, and associated components. Transmission is initiated by the signal TRANS from PAL U23.

  • Page 109: Ultrasound Envelope

    Theory of Operation: Dual Ultrasound Board Ultrasound Envelope To generate the Channel A ultrasound envelope, the output of the main filter is amplitude scaled by resistive divider R180/R48 and then connected to compandor (U2) which provides at least 40 dB of signal compression. The output from the compandor is limited by diodes D18–D19 and then precision rectified by a stage of U1 and its associated components.

    Theory of Operation: UA/FECG Board UA/FECG Board Isolated FECG Circuitry The isolated FECG section of this board consists of instrumentation amplifier U16, amplifier U3, and right leg drive amplifiers U11. The right arm and left arm signals from the patient are differentially amplified by U16 which provides a gain of 10 and a single-ended output for the following stage.
  • Page 111: Isolated Ua Circuitry

    Theory of Operation: UA/FECG Board The output from the FECG amplifier is coupled from the isolated circuitry to unisolated circuitry by isolation amplifier U2. This device is a capacitive coupled VCO/PLL type design that provides unity gain output with a frequency response of DC to about 500 Hz and has a breakdown voltage of 8000 V-pk.
  • Page 112 Theory of Operation: UA/FECG Board The serial data from the A/D is transferred from the isolated circuitry to the unisolated circuitry by the use of opto-isolators. The A/D clock and data are buffered by gates in U15 which in turn drive the LED side of dual opto-isolator U14. The restored clock and data on the output side of this isolator is sent to the DSP Board where the data is converted to a parallel format that the processor can access.

    Theory of Operation: MECG Board MECG Board Defibrillator Protection The defibrillator protection is primarily a function of neon bulbs DS1–DS3 and 1 Ω resistors located in each lead of the ECG cable assembly. When the voltage on any patient lead exceeds 70 to 90 V with respect to isolated ground, the associated neon bulb will light, discharging the energy on the lead to isolated ground.
  • Page 120: Single-Wire Ecg Amplifier With Right Leg Drive

    Theory of Operation: MECG Board Single-Wire ECG Amplifier with Right Leg Drive The ECG amplifier itself consists of an instrumentation amplifier, an amplifier/ limiter stage, a low-pass filter/output buffer stage, an integrator stage for the right leg drive, and an integrator stage for baseline restoration. Before connecting to any active circuitry, the patient signals from MUX U14 are first low-pass filtered by a differential filter consisting of resistors R19 and R22, and capacitors C15, C16, and C18.
  • Page 121: Pacemaker Detection

    Theory of Operation: MECG Board increasing its input voltage when the ECG output exceeds ±5.7 volts. This allows the baseline to be rapidly restored when the output offset becomes too large. The right leg drive is used to feed back to the patient, out-of-phase common-mode signals, in order to cancel out the effects of these signals.
  • Page 122 Theory of Operation: MECG Board junction of D23 and D24, and 0 V at the output across C39. Under these conditions, a conduction path exists between the input and the output of the limiter. When a step change occurs at the input, for example a +1 V step, diode D21 will become reverse biased turning off the current path from the input to the junction of D21 and D22, and to the output.
  • Page 123: Leads Off Detection

    Theory of Operation: MECG Board Leads Off Detection The leads off detection relies on the equal DC biasing of the two patient input leads, along with canceling effects of the right leg drive to common mode signals. Resistors R17, R18, R20, and R21 apply a small DC common mode voltage to the input leads.

    Theory of Operation: MSpO Board The red filter/amplifier circuit is an active low-pass filter (total gain = 8) which responds to the patient’s pulse modulation — reproducing the patient’s pulse waveform at the filter/amplifier output. The red pulses (RED) are coupled to the first of two identical filter/amplifier stages (U22A and U22C), each having a gain of approximately two.
  • Page 132 Theory of Operation: MSpO Board The Masimo SET MS-5 pulse oximeter as well as traditional pulse oximetry determines SpO2 by passing red and infrared light into a capillary bed and measuring changes in light absorption during the pulsatile cycle.
