Upon checking the availability with local electronics shop, the available model in E-Gizmo is the
OMRON 2SMPP-02 Gauge Pressure Sensor which can also meet the standard blood pressures (up
to 120mmHg = 16kPa).

The pressure sensor is designed to convert a voltage by means of constant current drive, produced
by the first op-amp biased by a resistive divider and input Vdd(+5V DC).

Since the output of the pressure sensor is the differential voltage seen at the Vout+ and Voutterminals, its output voltage is fed onto a differential op-amp for amplification, since the standard
output voltages are in the mV range. An op-amp buffer connection is then used to couple the
output to the next stages.

The signal is then filtered again with a 2.2 Hz RC high-pass filter which can pass the signal at
desired frequencies and removing its DC component.

The gain stage is then connected so that cuff oscillations after the HPF can be distinguished
better. The schematic shown above includes the HPF of the previous stage to show the DC
voltage offset to be applied for the output of the fluctuation signal.

The last stage is to filter the signal with another 10 Hz RC LPF so high-frequency noise can be
removed.
Expected Output from the Sensor Circuit
The figure below shows the fluctuations observed in an occluding cuff as the pressure is initially
raised just above the systolic pressure and then gradually dropped to nearly low at that point the
fluctuations are disappears. The second graph shows the cardiac synchronous oscillations present in
the cuff pressure which, as indicated above, vary with the cuff pressure. The graph shows the pulse are
started at smaller amplitudes when the cuff pressure reduced above or nearly equal to systolic pressure
and it stopped just below the diastolic pressure. These fluctuation are used to calculate the blood
pressure.
