The evaluation board is ideal for exploring concepts and
adopting the ADAS1000 into advanced medical systems. The
board can be operated as part of an end user’s system via the
ADAS1000 serial peripheral interface (SPI), or as a standalone
evaluation of the ADAS1000 using the support of the Analog
Devices system demonstration platform controller board
(SDP-B), and a standard PC (running Windows® Vista,
Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit, or Windows 8) to run the Analog
Devices evaluation software.
The SDP-B board, which is a DSP-based controller board is
separate from the evaluation board, is required to run the
Analog Devices evaluation software, and is used for data
transfer from evaluation board to PC via USB interface. It does
not come as part of the evaluation kit and can be ordered
separately (EVAL-SDP-CB1Z). The SDP-B board can be reused
with many other Analog Devices evaluation modules.

Figure 12. J1, DB15 Connector
Connector J1 is a DB15 female connector and mates with a
D-SUB plug. All ADAS1000 electrode connections are made
available here for both master and slave devices in addition
to the Right Leg Drive (RLD_OUT) and Shield Drive
(SHIELD) pins.
Note that every effort was made to supply input protection to
the electrode pins sufficient for the application; however, the
intent was not to offer this module as a true medical solution.
Therefore, no defibrillation pulses or voltages outside the
ADAS1000 operating range should be applied to the input
connector/board.

SDP Interface Connector, J2
The purpose of this connector is to facilitate interfacing
with the Analog Devices SDP1Z control board which is USB
controlled. This control board is specific to the operation of this
module as a standalone evaluation and learning platform. This
connector is not intended for customer-specific interfacing.
Main ADAS SPI, J4
This connector provides the ADAS1000 digital interface pins so
that the device may be used in standalone mode (without the
SDP control board). The user may use this connecter to
interface to the device in order to develop their own code and
evaluate the ADAS1000 directly.
Note that on the board, the /CS, SDI, and SDO paths for each
device are separate for ultimate flexibility in control of the
devices. When controlled via the SDP board, the /CS line is
shared (LK12 inserted). When using multiple devices, the
SDI and SDO paths can be shared, and each device can be
controlled via its own /CS line, allowing for easy control with
minimum wires.

Description
External Respiration Measurement. LK1 is used to connect the EXT_RESP_XX paths to
the ECG channels external to the device (requires that LK4 be connected if using the
external paths).
External Respiration Measurement. LK2 is used when using external capacitors for the
respiration circuit; LK1 needs to be closed also (and, optionally, LK4).
External Respiration Measurement. LK3 is used to bring either of the ECG channels (LA
or LL) to the input of the AD8226 in-amp (part of an optional respiration circuit).
External Respiration Measurement. LK4 connects the external respiration paths to the
respiration header or, alternatively, to the ECG paths via LK1.
External Respiration Measurement. Connect (A) when using external respiration circuit
(AD8226 and AD8606). Can be disconnected for all other respiration options.
For External Respiration Using an External Instrumentation Amplifier (Optional Circuit).
The evaluation board uses the AD8226 along with a buffer, AD8606. This arrangement
allows the output of the amplifier to drive the EXT_RESP_RA input. Use with LK16.
For External Respiration Using an External Instrumentation Amplifier (Optional Circuit).
The evaluation board uses the AD8226 along with a buffer, AD8606. This arrangement
allows the output of the amplifier to drive the EXT_RESP_LA input. Use with LK15.
AVDD Path from On-Board LDO (ADP151). Open if powering the board from J5 screw
terminals. Closed if supply board from either wall adaptor input or J7 (5 V) supply input.
AVDD Path to MASTER ADAS1000. Use to measure supply current in AVDD path to
MASTER ADAS1000.
IOVDD Path from On-Board LDO (ADP151). Open if powering the board from J5 screw
terminals. Closed if supply board from either wall adaptor input or J7 (5 V) supply input.
VREG_EN–ADAS1000 On-Chip Regulators (DVDD, ADCVDD). They are enabled when
VREG_EN is high, disabled when low, and may be overdriven. If overdriving, close LK9
and use J5 to supply DVDD and ADCVDD supply rails (1.8 V).
ADCVDD net is shared to both MASTER and SLAVE. This allows an external ADCVDD to
be applied. Each ADAS1000 has its own on-chip regulator for ADCVDD. If both MASTER
and SLAVE are inserted on board and LK9 is open, then LK17 should be open.
Each ADAS1000 has its Own On-Chip Regulator for DVDD. If both MASTER and SLAVE
are inserted on board and LK9 is open, then LK18 should be open (to stop the
regulators trying to fight each other).
Link in Shield Path. The Shield pin is a shared pin with the external respiration drive
for LA. Therefore, when using the SHIELD drive directly, the user can connect LK10 to
Link A. Alternatively, if using external respiration feature, the user can connect the
shield of the patient cable directly to GND by inserting LK10 in Position B.
Link in Reset Path.
When using the SDP board, both MASTER and SLAVE are driven with the same CSB
(LK12 inserted).
If driving the MASTER and SLAVE from J4, open LK12.
When using the SDP board, both MASTER and SLAVE drive different SD0 paths (LK13
open).
When using the SDP board, both MASTER and SLAVE are driven with different SDI paths
(LK14 open).
If driving the MASTER and SLAVE from J4 and the same SDI path, close LK14.

Within the tabs of this window all the individual control registers can be accessed. The ECG control register is shown in Figure 15, giving
access to master and slave control. Note that for certain conditions, the slave device must match the master device configuration. As a
result, the software locks out some of the slave control to ensure that the settings of the master and slave will always match (for example,
gain setting, high performance mode, clock source, and so on).

LEADS OFF CONTROL
The lead off tab allows the user to control which lead off feature is operating (ac or dc) and programs the current and threshold levels. For
dc lead off, remember the VCM is 1.3 V; therefore the upper threshold should be in excess of 1.3 V to ensure capture of a lead off event.
For ac lead off, the threshold levels are represented in terms of amplitude by multiplying π/2. Note that the levels may need to be adjusted
to find the appropriate levels to detect ac leads amplitude.
Configure the mode of lead off detection (either ac or dc).
Set the current levels.
Program the threshold levels of the detection circuitry (applies to ac lead off).

PACE
The Pace register control offers a number of different features. The pace algorithm is three instances of a digital algorithm, therefore it can
run on 3 leads at one time. The algorithm is designed to detect pace widths that range from 100 µs to 2 ms and amplitudes of 400 µV to
1000 mV. For pace capture, the software is streaming data at the chosen data rate. The data rate chosen does not have an effect on the
ability of the pace detection algorithm to detect a pulse since the pace algorithm always processes the 128 kHz frame rate.
4.
5.
Choose which lead each pace algorithm analyses.
Configure the different threshold levels for the desired ranges.
Use Quick Pace Setup to program the pace control and thresholds to default levels, and to start to stream pace data.
When a pace signal is detected, the frame header flags it. The pace algorithm makes a measure of the height and width of the
detected pace and provides that information for readback. There are two ways of returning the width and height information from
the register reads, one from within the frame and another from a direct read of the pace height/width register which is a more
accurate result. Pace Validation Filter 1 and Filter 2 are for noise and MV pulse filtering. The pace width filter rejects signals 2 ms.
If using the 2 kHz data rate, the pace signal may be filtered out by the programmable LPF available in this data rate. Adjust the Low
Pass Filter setting to allow the pace signal to be more visible.
Note there are three pace algorithms and three pace windows to view. Each algorithm has its own threshold register settings.

UNDERSTANDING PACE IN THE ADAS1000
Consult the ADAS1000 data sheet for full details on the pace detection operation. Under Pace Controls, as shown in Figure 21, a user
has access to set up three different instances of pace to analyze the particular leads of interest (choices of LEAD I, II, III, and VF).
The pace algorithm is a state machine that operates on the 128 kHz 16-bit data. When enabled, it works to identify the leading edge and
trailing edge of the pace pulse and can output the width and height of that pulse as detected on the surface of the skin.
The configuration registers are shown in Figure 22.

TEST TONES
The ADAS1000 has built-in test tones that can put out a 10 Hz or 150 Hz 1 mV sinewave, in addition to a 1 mV calibration pulse.
1.
Configure the ADAS1000 for electrode mode in the ECGCTL register (see Figure 15) to be able to see these signals correctly. If
the ADAS1000 is configured for vector/lead mode, then the test tone signals are subtracted from each other. Also, in the CMREFCTL
register, none of the electrodes should be configured to contribute to the common-mode signal.
2.
Use the Test Tone tab to configure this data.

COMMON-MODEL LEVEL/WILSON CENTRAL TERMINAL
Common-Mode Level/Wilson Central Terminal
The ADAS1000 allows flexible configuration of the common-mode signal, in that any of the electrodes can be used to generate the
common-mode level VCM. When no electrodes are selected to contribute to the common mode level, then the VCM = VCM_REF
which is the internal 1.3 V level.
The Wilson central terminal of (RA + LA + LL)/3 can be configured here also as shown in Figure 30.
The VCM can be brought out to the CM_OUT pin.
The VCM level used internally can come from the internal VCM level (as arranged by the selection of electrodes). Alternatively, it
can be sourced externally from the CM_IN pin (for example, if using multiple ADAS1000 devices and wishing to share the VCM
across them–the master device could provide the CM_OUT to the slave devices CM_IN pin, so they are all referenced to the same
common-mode level).

OVERVIEW OF SCHEMATICS
instruments, and absorbs the dc or ac lead-off currents injected
on the ECG electrodes. The right leg reference signal may also
be redirected onto any of the other electrodes (in absence of
right leg electrode connection). Gold pin connectors are
provided for replacement purposes. Nominal values used here
are RZ = 100 kΩ, CZ = 2 nF, RFB = 3.9 MΩ, and RIN = 39 kΩ.
Refer to Figure 46 for schematics related to the master device.
The master device provides ECG electrodes RA, LA, LL, V1,
V2, and RLD (see Figure 45) while the slave device services
ECG electrodes V3, V4, V5, V6, and a spare channel.
ECG Protection
VREG EN
The ADAS1000 device has standard ESD cells on board. In
addition, SP724 SCR/diode protection arrays are used on the
ECG input paths; however, they are not provided for defib
protection purposes.
VREG_EN = 1 (LK9 open) allows the internal LDO supplies to
power the DVDD and ADCVDD rails. If using the J5 connector
to supply DVDD and ADCVDD rails directly to the part,
VREG_EN = 0 (LK9 closed) disables the on-board regulators.
Optional Component Space on ECG path
If using the J5 connector to supply DVDD and ADCVDD rails
directly to the part, also remove LK17 and LK18.
Optional component space is provided for user-supplied cable
and filter modelling in addition to pull-down resistors to RLD.
Note that these limit the detection of dc leads of function
because, if used, any off electrode would then be sitting at the
RLD level and, thus, may no longer be detectable by the dc
lead off circuit, particular at low current levels).
PACE INTERFACE (OPTIONAL)
An optional pace interface is available via Connector J6. This is
a master interface and provides fast 128 kHz ECG data for
external digital pace algorithm purposes.
Right Leg Drive
POWER
The right leg drive amplifier or reference amplifier is used as
part of a feedback loop to force the patient’s common-mode
voltage close to the ADAS1000 series internal 1.3 V reference
level (VCM_REF). This centers all the electrode inputs relative
to the input span, providing maximum input dynamic range.
It also helps to reject noise and interference from external
sources such as fluorescent lights or other patient-connected
The ADP2503 buck-boost regulator is included to allow for
battery powered operation from 3 × AA (4.5 V) batteries.
ADP151 LDOs provide the AVDD = 3.3 V and IOVDD =3.3 V
rails required. IOVDD = 3.3 V as the SDP board interface
expects 3.3 V input levels (see Figure 48).
