DESCRIPTION
The AFE4400 is a fully-integrated analog front-end
(AFE) that is ideally suited for pulse oximeter
applications. The device consists of a low-noise
receiver channel with an integrated analog-to-digital
converter (ADC), an LED transmit section, and
diagnostics for sensor and LED fault detection. The
AFE4400 is a very configurable timing controller. This
flexibility enables the user to have complete control of
the device timing characteristics. To ease clocking
requirements and provide a low-jitter clock to the
AFE4400, an oscillator is also integrated that
functions from an external crystal. The device
communicates to an external microcontroller or host
processor using an SPI™ interface.
The AFE4400 is a complete AFE solution packaged
in a single, compact QFN-40 package (6 mm ×
6 mm) and is specified over the operating
temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

The AFE4400 is a complete analog front-end (AFE) solution targeted for pulse oximeter applications. The device
consists of a low-noise receiver channel, an LED transmit section, and diagnostics for sensor and LED fault
detection. To ease clocking requirements and provide the low-jitter clock to the AFE, an oscillator is also
integrated that functions from an external crystal. The device communicates to an external microcontroller or host
processor using an SPI interface. Figure 32 shows a detailed block diagram for the AFE4400. The blocks are
described in more detail in the following sections.

RECEIVER CHANNEL
This section describes the functionality of the receiver channel.
Receiver Front-End
The receiver consists of a differential current-to-voltage (I-V) transimpedance amplifier that converts the input
photodiode current into an appropriate voltage, as shown in Figure 33. The feedback resistor of the amplifier (RF)
is programmable to support a wide range of photodiode currents. Available RF values include: 1 MΩ, 500 kΩ,
250 kΩ, 100 kΩ, 50 kΩ, 25 kΩ, and 10 kΩ.

Figure 33. Receiver Front-End
The RF amplifier and the feedback capacitor (CF) form a low-pass filter for the input signal current. Always ensure
that the low-pass filter has sufficiently high bandwidth (as shown by Equation 1) because the input current
consists of pulses. For this reason, the feedback capacitor is also programmable. Available CF values include:
5 pF, 10 pF, 25 pF, 50 pF, 100 pF, and 250 pF. Any combination of these capacitors can also be used.

The output voltage of the I-V amplifier includes the pleth component (the desired signal) and a component
resulting from the ambient light leakage; see . The I-V amplifier is followed by the second stage, which consists
of a current digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that sources the cancellation current and an amplifier that gains up
the pleth component alone. The amplifier has five programmable gain settings: 1, 1.414, 2, 2.828, and 4. The
gained-up pleth signal is then low-pass filtered (500-Hz bandwidth) and buffered before driving a 22-bit ADC. The
current DAC has a cancellation current range of 10 µA with 10 steps (1 µA each). The DAC value can be digitally
specified with the SPI interface.
The output of the ambient cancellation amplifier is separated into LED2 and LED1 channels. When LED2 is on,
the amplifier output is filtered and sampled on capacitor CR. Similarly, the LED1 signal is sampled on the CLED1
capacitor when LED1 is ON. In between the LED2 and LED1 pulses, the idle amplifier output is sampled to
estimate the ambient signal on capacitors CLED2_amb and CLED1_amb.
The sampling duration is termed the Rx sample time and is programmable for each signal, independently. The
sampling can start after the I-V amplifier output is stable (to account for LED and cable settling times). The Rx
sample time is used for all dynamic range calculations; the minimum time supported is 50 µs.

SBAS601D – DECEMBER 2012 – REVISED MAY 2013
A single, 22-bit ADC converts the sampled LED2, LED1, and ambient signals sequentially. Each conversion
takes 25% of the pulse repetition period and provides a single digital code at the ADC output. As discussed in
the Receiver Timing section, the conversions are staggered so that the LED2 conversion starts after the end of
the LED2 sample phase, and so on. This configuration also means that the Rx sample time for each signal is no
greater than 25% of the pulse repetition period.
Note that four data streams are available at the ADC output (LED2, LED1, ambient LED2, and ambient LED1) at
the same rate as the pulse repetition frequency. The ADC is followed by a digital ambient subtraction block that
additionally outputs the (LED2 – ambient LED2) and (LED1 – ambient LED1) data values.
Ambient Cancellation Scheme
The receiver provides digital samples corresponding to ambient duration. The host processor (external to the
AFE) can use these ambient values to estimate the amount of ambient light leakage. The processor must then
set the value of the ambient cancellation DAC using the SPI, as shown in Figure 34.

Receiver Control Signals
LED2 sample phase (SLED2): When this signal is high, the amplifier output corresponds to the LED2 on-time.
The amplifier output is filtered and sampled into capacitor CLED2. To avoid settling effects resulting from the LED
or cable, program SLED2 to start after the LED turns on. This settling delay is programmable.
Ambient sample phase (SLED2_amb): When this signal is high, the amplifier output corresponds to the LED2 offtime and can be used to estimate the ambient signal (for the LED2 phase). The amplifier output is filtered and
sampled into capacitor CLED2_amb.
LED1 sample phase (SLED1): When this signal is high, the amplifier output corresponds to the LED1 on-time.
The amplifier output is filtered and sampled into capacitor CLED1. To avoid settling effects resulting from the LED
or cable, program SLED1 to start after the LED turns on. This settling delay is programmable.
Ambient sample phase (SLED1_amb): When this signal is high, the amplifier output corresponds to the LED1 offtime and can be used to estimate the ambient signal (for the LED1 phase). The amplifier output is filtered and
sampled into capacitor CLED1_amb.
LED2 convert phase (CONVLED2): When this signal is high, the voltage sampled on CLED2 is buffered and
applied to the ADC for conversion. The conversion time duration is always 25% of the pulse repetition period. At
the end of the conversion, the ADC provides a single digital code corresponding to the LED2 sample.
Ambient convert phases (CONVLED2_amb, CONVLED1_amb): When this signal is high, the voltage sampled on
CLED2_amb (or CLED1_amb) is buffered and applied to the ADC for conversion. The conversion time duration is
always 25% of the pulse repetition period. At the end of the conversion, the ADC provides a single digital code
corresponding to the ambient sample.
LED1 convert phase (CONVLED1): When this signal is high, the voltage sampled on CLED1 is buffered and
applied to the ADC for conversion. The conversion time duration is always 25% of the pulse repetition period. At
the end of the conversion, the ADC provides a single digital code corresponding to the LED1 sample.

CLOCKING AND TIMING SIGNAL GENERATION
The crystal oscillator generates a master clock signal using an external 8-MHz crystal. A divide-by-2 block
converts the 8-MHz clock to 4 MHz, which is used by the AFE to operate the timer modules, ADC, and
diagnostics. The 4-MHz clock is buffered and output from the AFE in order to clock an external microcontroller.
The clocking functionality is shown in Figure 37.

TIMER MODULE
See Figure 38 for a timing diagram detailing the various timing edges that are programmable using the timer
module. The rising and falling edge positions of 11 signals can be controlled. The module uses a single 16-bit
counter (running off of the 4-MHz clock) to set the time-base.
All timing signals are set with reference to the pulse repetition period (PRP). Therefore, a dedicated compare
register compares the 16-bit counter value with the reference value specified in the PRF register. Every time that
the 16-bit counter value is equal to the reference value in the PRF register, the counter is reset to '0'.

For the 11 signals in Figure 36, the start and stop edge positions are programmable with respect to the PRF
period. Each signal uses a separate timer compare module that compares the counter value with
preprogrammed reference values for the start and stop edges. All reference values can be set using the SPI
interface.
When the counter value equals the start reference value, the output signal is set. When the counter value equals
the stop reference value, the output signal is reset. Figure 39 shows a diagram of the timer compare register.
With a 4-MHz clock, the edge placement resolution is 0.25 µs. The ADC conversion signal requires four pulses in
each PRF clock period. The 11th timer compare register uses four sets of start and stop registers to control the
ADC conversion signal.

Using the Timer Module
The timer module registers can be used to program the start and end instants in units of 4-MHz clock cycles.
These timing instants and the corresponding registers are listed in Table 2.
Note that the device does not restrict the values in these registers; thus, the start and end edges can be
positioned anywhere within the pulse repetition period. Care must be taken by the user to program suitable
values in these registers to avoid overlapping the signals and to make sure none of the edges exceed the value
programmed in the PRP register. Writing the same value in the start and end registers results in a pulse duration
of one clock cycle. The following steps describe the timer sequencing configuration:
1. With respect to the start of the PRP period (indicated by timing instant t0 in Figure 41), the following
sequence of conversions must be followed in order: convert LED2 → LED2 ambient → LED1 → LED1
ambient.
2. Also, starting from t0, the sequence of sampling instants must be staggered with respect to the respective
conversions as follows: sample LED2 ambient → LED1 → LED1 ambient → LED2.
3. Finally, align the edges for the two LED pulses with the respective sampling instants.

ADC OPERATION AND AVERAGING MODULE
The ADC reset signal must be positioned at 25% intervals of the pulse repetition period (that is, 0%, 25%, 50%,
and 75%). After the falling edge of the ADC reset signal, the ADC conversion phase starts (refer to Figure 42).
Each ADC conversion takes 50 µs.
The ADC operates with averaging. The averaging module averages multiple ADC samples and reduce noise to
improve dynamic range because the ADC conversion time is usually shorter than 25% of the pulse repetition
period. Figure 43 shows a diagram of the averaging module.

In this mode, the ADC digital samples are accumulated and averaged after every 50 µs. At the next rising edge
of the ADC reset signal, the average value (22-bit) is written into the output registers sequentially as follows (see
Figure 44):
• At the 25% reset signal, the averaged 22-bit word is written to register 2Ah.
• At the 50% reset signal, the averaged 22-bit word is written to register 2Bh.
• At the 75% reset signal, the averaged 22-bit word is written to register 2Ch.
• At the next 0% reset signal, the averaged 22-bit word is written to register 2Dh. The contents of registers 2Ah
and 2Bh are written to register 2Eh and the contents of registers 2Ch and 2Dh are written to register 2Fh.
At the rising edge of the ADC_RDY signal, the contents of all six result registers can be read out.
The number of samples to be used per conversion phase is preset to 3.

TRANSMIT SECTION
The transmit section integrates the LED driver and the LED current control section with 8-bit resolution. This
integration is designed to meet a dynamic range of better than 105 dB (based on a 1-sigma LED current noise).
The LED2 and LED1 reference currents can be independently set. The current source (ILED) locally regulates and
ensures that the actual LED current tracks the specified reference.
Two LED driver schemes are supported:
• An H-bridge drive for a two-terminal back-to-back LED package, as shown in Figure 46. The minimum Hbridge supply voltage must be 2.5 V + (maximum voltage drop across the LED).
• A push-pull drive for a three-terminal LED package; see Figure 47. The minimum external supply voltage =
2.0 V + (maximum voltage drop across the LED).

LED Power Reduction During Periods of Inactivity
The diagram in Figure 49 shows how LED bias current passes 50 µA whenever LED_ON occurs. In order to
minimize power consumption in periods of inactivity, the LED_ON control must be turned off. Furthermore, the
TIMEREN bit in the CONTROL1 register should be disabled by setting the value to '0'.
Note that depending on the LEDs used, the LED may sometimes appear dimly lit even when the LED current is
set to 0 mA. This appearance is because of the switching leakage currents (as shown in Figure 49) inherent to
the timer function. The dimmed appearance does not effect the ambient light level measurement because during
the ambient cycle, LED_ON is turned off for the duration of the ambient measurement.

Diagnostics Module
The diagnostics module, when enabled, checks for nine types of faults sequentially. The results of all faults are latched in 11 separate flags. At the end of
the sequence, the state of the 11 flags are combined to generate two interrupt signals: PD_ALM for photodiode-related faults and LED_ALM for transmitrelated faults. The status of all flags can also be read using the SPI interface. Table 3 details each fault and flag used. Note that the diagnostics module
requires all AFE blocks to be enabled in order to function reliably.

SERIAL PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
The SPI-compatible serial interface consists of four signals: SCLK (serial clock), SPISOMI (serial interface data
output), SPISIMO (serial interface data input), and SPISTE (serial interface enable).
The serial clock (SCLK) is the serial peripheral interface (SPI) serial clock. SCLK shifts in commands and shifts
out data from the device. SCLK features a Schmitt-triggered input and clocks data out on the SPISOMI. Data are
clocked in on the SPISIMO pin. Even though the input has hysteresis, TI recommends keeping SCLK as clean
as possible to prevent glitches from accidentally shifting the data. When the serial interface is idle, hold SCLK
low.
The SPI serial out master in (SPISOMI) pin is used with SCLK to clock out the AFE4400 data. The SPI serial in
master out (SPISIMO) pin is used with SCLK to clock in data to the AFE4400. The SPI serial interface enable
(SPISTE) pin enables the serial interface to clock data on the SPISIMO pin in to the device.
READING AND WRITING DATA
The device has a set of internal registers that can be accessed by the serial programming interface formed by
the SPISTE, SCLK, SPISIMO, and SPISOMI pins.
Writing Data
When SPISTE is low,
• Serially shifting bits into the device is enabled.
• Serial data (on the SPISIMO pin) are latched at every SCLK rising edge.
• The serial data are loaded into the register at every 32nd SCLK rising edge.
In case the word length exceeds a multiple of 32 bits, the excess bits are ignored. Data can be loaded in
multiples of 32-bit words within a single active SPISTE pulse. The first eight bits form the register address and
the remaining 24 bits form the register data. Figure 53 shows a diagram of the write timing.

Reading Data
The AFE4400 includes a mode where the contents of the internal registers can be read back on the SPISOMI
pin. This mode may be useful as a diagnostic check to verify the serial interface communication between the
external controller and the AFE. To enable this mode, first set the SPI_READ register bit using the SPI write
command, as described in the Writing Data section. In the next command, specify the SPI register address with
the desired content to be read. Within the same SPI command sequence, the AFE outputs the contents of the
specified register on the SPISOMI pin. Figure 54 shows a timing diagram for the SPI read operation.

SCLK
'RQ¶W FDUH, can be high or low.
(1) The SPI_READ register bit must be enabled before attempting a serial readout from the AFE.
(2) Specify the register address of the content that must be readback on bits A[7:0].
(3) The AFE outputs the contents of the specified register on the SPISOMI pin.
Figure 54. AFE SPI Read Timing Diagram
Register Initialization
After power-up, the internal registers must be initialized to the default values. This initialization can be done in
one of two ways:
• Through a hardware reset by applying a low-going pulse on the RESET pin, or
• By applying a software reset. Using the serial interface, set SW_RESET (bit D3 in register 00h) high. This
setting initializes the internal registers to the default values and then self-resets to '0'. In this case, the RESET
pin is kept high (inactive).
AFE SPI Interface Design Considerations
Note that when the AFE4400 is deselected, the SPISOMI, CLKOUT, ADC_RDY, PD_ALM, LED_ALM, and
DIAG_END digital output pins do not enter a 3-state mode. This condition, therefore, must be taken into account
when connecting multiple devices to the SPI port and for power-management considerations.
AFE REGISTER MAP
The AFE consists of a set of registers that can be used to configure it, such as receiver timings, I-V amplifier
settings, transmit LED currents, and so forth. The registers and their contents are listed in Table 4. These
registers can be accessed using the AFE SPI interface.

Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)

There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5)
Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
