MAX30003
Ultra-Low Power, Single-Channel Integrated
Biopotential (ECG, R-to-R Detection) AFE
General Description
The MAX30003 is a complete, biopotential, analog frontend solution for wearable applications. It offers high
performance for clinical and fitness applications, with
ultra-low power for long battery life. The MAX30003 is a
single biopotential channel providing ECG waveforms and
heart rate detection.
The biopotential channel has ESD protection, EMI filtering,
internal lead biasing, DC leads-off detection, ultra-low
power leads-on detection during standby mode, and extensive
calibration voltages for built-in self-test. Soft power-up
sequencing ensures no large transients are injected into
the electrodes. The biopotential channel also has high
input impedance, low noise, high CMRR, programmable
gain, various low-pass and high-pass filter options, and
a high resolution analog-to-digital converter. The
biopotential channel is DC coupled, can handle large
electrode voltage offsets, and has a fast recovery mode
to quickly recover from overdrive conditions, such as
defibrillation and electrosurgery.
The MAX30003 is available in a 28-pin TQFN and
30-bump wafer-level package (WLP), operating over the
0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range.

DC Leads-Off Detection and ULP Leads-On Detection
The input MUX leads-off detect circuitry consists of
programmable sink/source DC current sources that allow
for DC leads-off detection, while the channel is powered
up in normal operation and an ultra-low-power (ULP)
leads-on detect while the channel is powered-down.
The MAX30003 accomplishes DC leads-off detection by
applying a DC current to pull the ECG input voltage up
to above VMID + VTH or down to below VMID - VTH. The
current sources have user selectable values of 0nA, 5nA,
10nA, 20nA, 50nA, and 100nA that allow coverage of dry
and wet electrode impedance ranges. Supported thresholds
are VMID ± 0.30V (recommended), VMID ± 0.40V, VMID ±
0.45V, and VMID ± 0.50V. A threshold of 400mV, 450mV,
and 500mV should only be used when VAVDD ≥ 1.45V,
1.55V, and 1.65V, respectively. A dynamic comparator
protects against false flags generated by the input amplifier
and input chopping. The comparator checks for a minimum
continuous violation (or threshold exceeded) of 115ms to
140ms depending on the setting of FMSTR[1:0] before
asserting any one of the LDOFF_* interrupt flags (Figure
4). See registers CNFG_GEN (0x10) and CNFG_EMUX
0x14) for configuration settings and see Table 1 for
recommended values given electrode type and supply voltage.
The ULP lead on detect operates by pulling ECGN low with
a pulldown resistance larger than 5mΩ and pulling ECGP
high with a pullup resistance larger than 15MΩ. A low-power
comparator determines if ECGP is pulled below a
predefined threshold that occurs when both electrodes
make contact with the body. When the impedance
between ECGP and ECGN is less than 20mΩ, an interrupt
LONINT is asserted, alerting the µC to a leads-on condition.
A 0nA/VMID ± 300mV selection is available allowing
monitoring of the input compliance of the INA during nonDC lead-off checks.

to the proper common mode voltage level. See register
CNFG_GEN (0x10) to select a configuration.
Isolation Switches
The series switches in the MAX30003 isolate ECGP and
ECGN pins (subject) from the internal signal path. the
series switches are disabled by default. They must be
enabled to record ECG.
Calibration Voltage Sources
Calibration voltage sources are available to provide
±0.25mV (0.5mVP-P) or ±0.5mV (1.0mVP-P) inputs to
the ECG channel with programmable frequency and duty
cycle. The sources can be unipolar/bipolar relative to VMID.
Figure 5 illustrates the possible calibration waveforms.
Frequency selections are available in 4X increments from
15.625mHz to 256Hz with selected pulse widths varying
from 30.5µs to 31.723ms and 50% duty cycle. Signals
can be single-ended, differential, or common mode. This
flexibility allows end-to-end channel-testing of the ECG
signal path.
When applying calibration voltage sources with the device
connected to a subject, the series input switches must be
disconnected so as not to drive signals into the subject.
See registers CNFG_CAL (0x12) and CNFG_EMUX
(0x14) to select configuration.
Lead Bias
The MAX30003 limits the ECGP and ECGN DC input
common mode range to VMID ±150mV. This range can be
maintained either through external/internal lead-biasing.
Internal DC lead-biasing consists of 50MΩ, 100MΩ,
or 200MΩ selectable resistors to VMID that drive the
