SECTION 3: PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION
3.1 Performance Verification
3.1 PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION
The performance of the NPB-40 can be verified using the following procedure.
Before performing this procedure, the NPB-40 must have fresh batteries
installed. If any of the required observations cannot be obtained, do not
return the NPB-40 to service before referring to Section 4, Troubleshooting.
You will need an SRC-2 pulse oximeter tester to perform this procedure. If

TECHNICAL SUPPLEMENT
S1 Introduction
S2 Pulse Oximetry Principles of Operation
S3 Circuit Analysis
S4 Schematic Diagrams
S1 INTRODUCTION
This Technical Supplement provides a description of the principles of pulse

oximetry, a block diagram level theory of operation discussion, and a
schematic level theory of operation discussion. Part locator diagrams and
schematic diagrams are located at the end of this section as fold-out
drawings. These diagrams can be folded out for review while reading the
theory of operation.
S2 PULSE OXIMETRY PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
S2.1 Overview
The NPB-40 is based on the principles of spectrophotometry and optical

plethysmography. Optical plethysmography uses light absorption technology
to reproduce waveforms produced by pulsatile blood. The changes that occur
in the absorption of light due to vascular bed changes are reproduced by the
pulse oximeter as plethysmographic wave forms.
Spectrophotometry uses various wavelengths of light to qualitatively measure

light absorption through given substances. Many times each second, the
NPB-40 passes red and infrared light into the sensor site and determines
absorption. The measurements that are taken during the arterial pulse,
reflect absorption by arterial blood, nonpulsatile blood, and tissue. The
measurements that are obtained between arterial pulses reflect absorption by
nonpulsatile blood and tissue.
By correcting "during pulse" absorption for "between pulse" absorption, the

NPB-40 determines red and infrared absorption by pulsatile arterial blood.
Because oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin differ in red and infrared
absorption, this corrected measurement can be used to determine the percent
of oxyhemoglobin in arterial blood: SpO 2 is the ratio of corrected absorption
at each wavelength.
S2.2 Functional Versus Fractional Saturation
The NPB-40 measures functional saturation, that is, oxygenated hemoglobin

expressed as a percentage of the hemoglobin that is capable of transporting
oxygen. It does not detect significant levels of dyshemoglobins. In contrast,
some instruments such as the IL282 Co-oximeter measure fractional
saturation, that is, oxygenated hemoglobin expressed as a percentage of all
measured hemoglobin, including dyshemoglobins.
Consequently, before comparing NPB-40 measurements with those obtained

by an instrument that measures fractional saturation, measurements must
be converted as follows:
functional fractional 100

saturation = saturation x 100-(% carboxyhemoglobin +%methemoglobin)
S-1
Technical Supplement
S2.3 Measured versus Calculated Saturation
When saturation is calculated from a blood gas measurement of the partial

pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2 ), the calculated value may differ from the
NPB-40 SpO2 measurement. This is because the calculated saturation may
not have been corrected for the effects of variables that can shift the
relationship between PaO 2 and saturation.
Figure S2-1 illustrates the effect that variations in pH, temperature, partial
pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO 2), and concentrations of 2,3-DPG and fetal
hemoglobin may have on the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve.

S3 CIRCUIT ANALYSIS
This section provides an explanation of NPB-40 theory of operation using

block diagrams and schematic diagrams.
The NPB-40 consists of three main functional components described in the

following paragraphs:
• The CPU PCB block diagram (Figure S3-2) and schematic diagram
(Figure S4-3).
• The LCD PCB block diagram (Figure S3-3) and schematic diagram
(Figure S4-4).
• The Front Panel PCB schematic diagram (Figure S4-5).
The relationship between these components and their interconnection is

illustrated in the NPB-40 block diagram (Figure S3-1).
S-2
The following is a list of terms and definitions used in the following

paragraphs.
Analog to Digital (A/D) converter. The CPU has a 10-bit A/D converter on
board. Up to eight different analog inputs can be provided to the A/D for
measurement.
Central Processing Unit (CPU). An Intel 80C196KC 16-bit

microprocessor. The CPU sends and receives control signals to the SpO2
analog section, display, and printer infrared LED.
High Speed Outputs (HSO). The 6 HSO lines control most of the timing of
the LED signal pulse and the demodulation of the received signal.
Input and Output (I/O). Digital lines that are used by the CPU to read in
data and output data.
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). Two LEDs are used in Nellcor Puritan
Bennett oximetry sensors. Light is transmitted through body tissue and
received by a photodetector circuit that converts it to photocurrent. The two
wavelengths, which are used for calculation of pulse rate and oxygen
saturation in blood, are transmitted at the following frequencies:
• infrared (IR) light at ≈ 915 microns

• red light at ≈ 660 microns
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). The three 8-bit PWM outputs can be
software controlled; their duty cycle can be changed from 0 TO 99.6 percent of
the total pulse duration. PWM frequency is the crystal frequency of the CPU
(10 MHz) divided by 1024. The PWMs control the gains within the analog
circuit.
RCal. Sensor RCal value is a resistance value specific to an individual

sensor. This value is used by the software during oxygen saturation
computations to maximize accuracy.
S3.1 Overall Unit Block Diagram Analysis
Exclusive of batteries covers, keys, and external connectors, the NPB-40

consists of three main functional components: the front panel keyboard, the
CPU PCB, and the LCD PCB as follows.
• CPU PCB — contains the CPU; power supply circuitry; support

memory circuits; sensor circuits for battery voltage; a serial data port;
LCD backlight control; pulsatile beeper drive circuits; and some display
control circuits.
• LCD PCB — contains the SpO2 analog circuitry and interface to the
external sensor; the power conditioning circuitry; the LCD display and
display driver circuits; the interface circuitry for the printer (which is
not used unless a printer is present); the LCD backlight; and audio
output hardware.
• Front Panel Keyboard — contains four membrane switches and a

line common to all four switches. This assembly connects to the CPU
PCB by a flex circuit.
Refer to Figure S3-1 for this NPB-40 block diagram. The CPU PCB and the
LCD PCB are each described in more detail in later paragraphs.
S-3
The NPB-40 is powered by four AA-size replaceable alkaline batteries. A dc

voltage in the range of 3.6 to 6 Vdc is provided over the life of these batteries.
When the voltage from these batteries drops to a level too low to operate the
NPB-40, the unit will shut itself off. At that time, the batteries must be
replaced.
The front panel keypad contains four keys that provide discrete signals that
are monitored by the microprocessor on the CPU PCB. Refer to Figure S4-5
for a schematic diagram of the front panel keypad.

Power from the batteries is controlled and filtered by the power control and
PCB power circuits on the CPU PCB. When the On/Off key is pressed on the
front panel keypad and the unit is turned off, the power control circuits will
turn on the unit. If the unit is on when the On/Off key is pressed, the unit
will be turned off. The PCB power circuits provide filtered power for the
circuits on the CPU PCB and raw power is passed to the LCD PCB where it is
conditioned for the circuits there.
A patient sensor connected to the NPB-40 contains a resistance that is a

calibration reference for the sensor. The analog sensor circuits on the LCD
PCB then measure the signal from a photodiode in the sensor that is different
based on the light absorption characteristics of each patient. That signal is
processed by the analog sensor circuits and measured by the CPU. The LED
drive signals are then adjusted by the CPU to obtain an optimum signal from
the photodiode.
The CPU provides a drive signal for an IR LED on the LCD PCB. When this
IR LED is aligned with a receiving photodiode on an external printer, patient
data stored in the NPB-40 can be printed.
An external output port on the CPU PCB is controlled by the CPU and sends
drive signals to the beeper and LCD backlight and display data to the LCD.
An external serial data interface, used during testing in manufacturing only,

is also controlled by the CPU. This interface is only accessible with a special
test fixture.
S3.2 CPU PCB Theory of Operation
Refer to Figure S3-2 for the CPU PCB block diagram and to Figure S4-3 for
the CPU PCB schematic diagram in the following description. The CPU PCB
hardware and related circuitry, which is illustrated in the following block
diagram, includes the following subsystems:
• CPU — A 16-bit microprocessor that includes: a serial port, watchdog

timer, A/D converter with an 8-input analog multiplexer, 3-pulse width
modulators, and a high speed I/O subsystem.
• System memory — External to the CPU and consists of an 8K x 8

static RAM and a 64K x 16 EPROM.
• Display control — The CPU provides drive and control signals for the
LCD driver and display on the LCD PCB.
• Audio output drive— Drives a piezoelectric ceramic beeper on the

LCD PCB for audio output.
• Printer drive— The CPU provides a printer drive signal that is

applied to an IR LED on the LCD PCB.
• Power supply/Power control circuitry — The NPB-40 receives

power from 4 "AA" cell batteries. The power control circuitry
discontinues power to the unit when the batteries are no longer
reliable.

S3.2.1 CPU
The Intel 80C196KC CPU is a 16-bit microprocessor with built-in peripherals

including: a serial port, watchdog timer, A/D converter with an 8-input
analog multiplexer, three pulse width modulators, two 16-bit counter/timers,
up to 48 I/O lines, and a high speed I/O subsystem.
The CPU is capable of running up to 16 MHz, but it is run at 10 MHz for

decreased power consumption. All unused inputs are tied to either Vcc or
ground through resistors—this prevents unused inputs floating to any
voltage and causing excess power drain. The READY input pin is tied high,
thereby disabling wait-state generation; all bus accesses are zero wait-state.
The EA pin is tied low to enable addressing of the external EPROM.
When the power supply is first switched on by the power control circuit, the
watchdog reset circuit holds the CPU RESET pin low for at least 20 ms, then
allows the internal pull-up resistor to bring it high; this assures a good CPU
reset.
An internal watchdog timer is enabled and runs continuously. The watchdog

timer provides a means of recovering from a software upset caused by ESD,
EMI, etc.. If the software does not clear the timer at least every 64K
state-times (13.1 ms), the CPU will drive RESET low, resetting the entire
unit. The reset output by the CPU is only 16 state-times long (3.2 µs).
The CPU has the ability to dynamically switch the data bus width—based on
the BUSWIDTH input pin. A low on BUSWIDTH tells the CPU to access
memory only 8 bits at a time. When accessing the static RAM, BUSWIDTH is
low, automatically reading the 8-bit wide RAM. Since BUSWIDTH is
connected to the active low RAM enable line (RAMEN-L), all other memory
and mapped I/O are read or written 16 bits at a time.
Eight analog inputs are measured by the CPU. Input from the SpO2 analog
section on the LCD PCB includes AC and DC signals for the oximeter sensor
red and infrared channels, and the sensor calibration resistor RSENS. The
battery voltage and reference voltage from the LCD PCB are also measured.
The CPU is configured as follows:
• Decoded AD0 and BHE generate separate WR write strobes for the low
and high bytes of a word. The signal WR (pin WRL) is the low-byte
write strobe.
• A standard address latch enable (ALE) is generated and used.
• HSO4 and HSO5 are configured as outputs. The HSO is used to

generate stable timing control signals to the SpO2 analog section,
display, and printer driver.
• External control pins: P2.2, P2.3, and P2.4 are configured to monitor
front panel keyboard keys Store Data/Print, Display Light/Beep On/Off,
and Shift keys, respectively.
• Pins HSI0 is configured for interrupt input. The CPU receives one
external interrupt (signal PHOTOI).
S-7
• P2.0 and P2.1 are configured as a standard asynchronous serial

transmitter and receiver for a factory serial interface.
• P2.5, P1.3, and P1.4 are configured as pulse width modulator outputs.
They are used with outputs from P1.6 and P2.6 to control gains within
the SpO 2 analog section.
S3.2.1.1 Address Demultiplexing
U10 and U11 are transparent latches that latch the address portion of the AD
bus data on the falling edge of ALE; the outputs are always enabled. The
outputs of U10 and U11 are always the address portion of the AD bus.
S3.2.1.2 Address Decoding
The CPU has a 64-Kbyte address range of 0-FFFF. RAM, EPROM, and I/O
ports share this space. The address decoding circuit splits up this space and
output enable lines to the RAM, EPROM, and external output ports.
When address lines A13, A14, A15 are all high, the output of U7C goes low,
enabling the RAM and generates the active low enable signal RAMEN-L.
This occurs for the 8K address range of E000-FFFF.
U8 is used to generate the output port active low enable signal EXOUTEN-L.
When address lines A15, A14, A11, and A10 are high, and A13 is low, U8
becomes enabled. With U8 enabled, the Y3 output is set low. The output to go
low is selected by pins A, B, and C. They form a 3-bit binary number with pin
C being the most significant bit. So when address line A12 is high, WR active
(low) and RD inactive (high), a binary 3 is produced on pins A, B, and C,
forcing output Y3 (EXOUTEN-L) low. This enables the output port for
writing. Note that in this condition, A15, A14, A12, A11, and A10 are high
and A13 is low.
The output port uses the address space of DE00-DFFF. When data is written
to that address, the output port enable signal EXOUTEN-L is activated.
Because the CPU is configured to use a 16-bit bus, except for RAM, any even
address in the DE00-DFFF range could be used for external port access. In
other words, reading or writing address DF00, DE02, DE04, etc., will all
produce the same results.
U7A generates the EPROMs active low enable signal, ROMEN-L. The active
low signals RAMEN-L and EXOUTEN-L are basically used as EPROM
disable signals. When RAMEN-L or EXOUTEN-L or the Y3 output of U8 are
low, the output of U7A, ROMEN-L, is forced high, disabling the ROM.
Therefore, the EPROM is disabled for the range DE00-FFFF and enabled for
the address range of 0-DFFF.
S3.2.2 CPU Memory
The memory system external to the CPU consists of an 8 K x 8 static RAM

(U12) and a 64 K x 16 EPROM (U5). The EPROM is 16 bits wide to enhance
CPU performance. Because RAM is infrequently accessed, it is only 8 bits
wide. U12 is a standard 8K x 8 static RAM.
S-8
The program that the CPU runs is stored in U5. U5 is a 16-bit wide output,
one-time programmable (OTP) EPROM. During 16-bit wide bus accesses, the
CPU uses address line A0 for low/high byte selection, and is not used as a
normal address line. The CPU can only address 64K x 8 bytes or 32K x 16
bytes. Pin A15 of U5 is tied low, always selecting the lower half of the
EPROM. Signal ROMEN-L is then used to enable the EPROM for the proper
memory area.
The output port external to the CPU consists of an octal D latch, U9. The
output of U9 is always enabled. The output bits of U9 control the beeper
output, the LCD backlight, and the LCD display drive signals.
S3.2.3 Standard User Controls
The standard user controls consist of four momentary push-button switches

on the front panel keypad. These keys are metal dome membrane contact
switches.
The front panel switches Store Data/Print, Display Light/Beep On/Off, and
Shift are connected to the microprocessor, U4, input lines P2.2, P2.3, and
P2.4 and are normally pulled to the high state by R10, R8, and R18.
Whenever one of these keys is pressed, the U4 input line is pulled low. The
switch contacts are debounced in software.
The fourth front panel switch, On/Off, is connected to the power switch
described Power Supply/Power Control Circuitry.
S3.2.4 Power Supply/Power Control Circuitry
The power supply and power control circuitry consists of the following
primary elements.
• Batteries — Four 1.5 V alkaline "AA" size batteries provide 3.6-6 Vdc
power.
• Power entry circuit — Components protect the NPB-40 from damage

if batteries are inserted incorrectly and provide reverse current limiting
and over-voltage or spike protection. In addition, a self-resetting fuse
protects the power supply from excessive current draw. The power
supply is also protected against electrostatic discharge and
electromagnetic interference.
• Power switch circuitry — This circuit controls power applied to the

power supply circuits. Power control circuitry is connected to the
batteries. It senses any press of the front panel keypad On/Off key and
switches the power supply circuit on or off. A control signal to this
circuit from the CPU will also shut off the NPB-40 when battery voltage
drops to an unusable level.
• Power supply circuits —consist of a power generation circuit that

provides +10Vdc, +5Vdc, and -5Vdc.
S-9
S3.2.4.1 Power Entry Circuitry
Self-resetting fuse R22 protects the NPB-40 and will open when current in
excess of 0.75 Amps is drawn by the unit. R22 will close when the condition
causing excessive current has been eliminated. CR7 provides reverse current
protection and limits negative voltages (batteries reversed) to safe levels. In
either of these conditions, CR7 will conduct and cause fuse R22 to open. CR5
protects against large voltage transients caused by ESD, EMI, etc. and will
pass these undesirable transients to ground.
S3.2.4.2 Power Supply Feedback Circuitry
The power supply feedback circuit consists of Q1 and its associated

components. When batteries are installed and the NPB-40 is turned off, the
battery voltage (VBAT) is applied through resistor R2 at the collector of Q1
providing a logic 1 level voltage to the D input of flip-flop U1B in the power
switch circuit. When the NPB-40 is turned off, VCC is at 0 volts and Q1 is
turned off. When the NPB-40 is turned on (See “Power Switch Circuitry”), the
VCC potential is applied to the base of Q1, which turns it on. The voltage at
the D input of U1B then drops to a low voltage to provide a logic 0.
S3.2.4.3 Power Switch Circuitry
The power control circuit consists of U1B and its associated components. U1B
is a D flip/flop with asynchronous preset and clear; only the clear is used.
Battery voltage is applied to U1B whenever batteries are installed. The NPB-
40 is turned on and off by pressing the On/Off key on the front panel keypad.
The BTN PWR line is normally pulled up to the battery voltage by R3. When
battery voltage is at an acceptable level and the On/Off key on the front panel
keypad is pressed, the BTN PWR line is grounded and the resultant high-
going pulse from U2A toggles the CLK input of U1B and the high D input
logic level is transferred to the Q output. The logic state of the D input is
controlled by the power supply feedback circuitry (See “Power Supply
Feedback Circuitry”). When the NPB-40 is off the D input of U1B is high.
Pressing the front panel On/Off key sets the Q output and the PWR ON
signal high. This enables the power supply circuits, which then generate the
operating voltages for the NPB-40. The Q-not output of U1B is applied to U4
analog to digital converter input P0.6 through a battery voltage sensing
circuit consisting of U2B, R14, R17, and C14. When the battery voltage drops
below 3.6 Vdc, as measured by U4, the PWR DOWN line at U4 output HSO3
goes high and turns on Q2, which clears flip-flop U1B and the PWR ON
signal at the Q output goes low and turns off the power supply circuits.
When the NPB-40 is turned on, the D input of U1B is low (See “Power Supply
Feedback Circuitry”). When On/Off key on the front panel keypad is pressed,
the BTN PWR line is grounded and the resultant high going pulse from U2A
toggles the CLK input of U1B and the low D input logic level is transferred to
the Q output. This sets the Q output and the PWR ON signal low, which
turns off the power supply circuits.
S-10
S3.2.4.4 Power Supply Circuits
When the PWR ON signal at the S/S input of U3 is high, U3 generates a

square wave signal that drives the primary winding of transformer T1. The
three secondary windings of T1 are rectified and filtered to provide
RAW+10V, VCC (+5Vdc), and RAW-5V. The VCC signal is resistor divided by
R9 and R12 for a feedback voltage that U3 must see to continue operating.
VCC is used on the CPU and the LCD PCBs for operating circuit power.
RAW+10V and RAW-5V are supplied to the LCD PCB for backlight power
and for power conditioning for the SpO 2 analog circuits.
S3.2.5 Serial Interface
The serial interface is only used for factory test purposes, and is not at the
RS-232 level, neither is it electrically isolated and, therefore, cannot be used
outside of the factory. The serial data port J5 is a TTL level serial interface.
RXD and TXD are configured as a standard asynchronous serial transmitter
and receiver at 19.2 Kbaud with 1 stop bit, 8 data bits, and no parity. The
serial interface can operate in full duplex mode. If no external serial data
device is connected, R19 pulls the RXD input high which prevents the input
from floating when it is not being used.
S3.2.6 Printer Control
Microprocessor U4 provides a drive signal (IR OUT) at HSO5 that controls an

infrared LED on the LCD PCB which is used to interface with an external
printer.
S3.2.7 External VCC Monitor and Watchdog Timer
The external VCC monitor and watchdog timer circuit consists of U6 and
associated components. U6 provides two functions. If the VCC input voltage
drops below 4.0 Vdc, U6 will drive the RST-L line low, which resets
microprocessor, U4. U6 also periodically receives the WD RST pulse output
from U4. If U6 does not receive the WD RST signal at least every 500 ms, it
will drive the RST-L line low, which resets U4.
S3.3 LCD PCB Theory of Operation
Refer to Figure S3-3 for the LCD PCB block diagram and to Figure S4-4 for
the LCD PCB schematic diagram in the following description. This subsection
describes the SpO 2 analog hardware. The analog circuitry has high signal
sensitivity and reduced susceptibility to noise. Its design allows for a wide range
of input signal levels and a broad range of pulsatile modulation. The SpO 2 analog
circuitry consists of four subsections:
• Sensor output/LED control —The CPU controls the gain of both

LEDs so that signals received at the input amplifier are within an
acceptable dynamic range. Signal channel gain may also need to be
increased. The CPU uses Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) lines to
control LED current level or to amplify the signal channel.
• Input conditioning —Sensor output current is converted to voltage. A

demodulation circuit minimizes the effects of other light sources and
stray frequency inputs. Because the IR and RED signals are at different
current levels, the two LED signals are demultiplexed and separately
amplified, so they can be compared with each other. Two circuits handle
the demultiplexing by alternately selecting LED signals using switches.
S-11
Filters then remove noise and smooth the signals before sending them
to the amplifiers.
• Signal gain —The separated LED signals are amplified so that their
current levels are within the A/D converter's acceptable range. The
signals are filtered to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, and clamped to
a reference voltage.
• AC ranging —DC offset is eliminated from each LED signal. An

analog switch sets the mean signal value to the mean of the A/D
converter range, and the AC modulation is superimposed on that DC
level. Then, each AC signal is amplified and filtered to eliminate
residual effects of the PWM modulations. Finally, these two signals are
input to the CPU A/D converter.
S-12
The relationship between these subsections is shown in the LCD PCB block
diagram, Figure S3-3.

S3.3.1 Sensor Output/LED Control
The SpO2 analog circuitry provides control of the red and IR LEDs such that
the received signals are within the dynamic range of the input amplifier.
Because excessive current to the LEDs will induce changes in their spectral
output, it is sometimes necessary to increase the received signal channel
gain. To that point, the CPU controls both the current to the LEDs and the
amplification in the signal channel.
S-13
At initialization of transmission, the LEDs' intensity level is based on

previous running conditions, and the transmission intensity is adjusted until
the received signals match the range of the A/D converter. If the LEDs reach
maximum output without the necessary signal strength, the PWMs will
increase the channel gain. The PWM lines will select either a change in the
LED current or signal gain, but will not do both simultaneously.
The LED drive circuit switches between red and IR transmission and disables
both for a time between transmissions in order to provide a no-transmission
reference. To prevent excessive heat build-up and prolong battery life, each
LED is on for only a small portion of the duty cycle. Also, the frequency of
switching is well above that of motion artifact and not a harmonic of known
AC transmissions. The LED switching frequency is 1.485 kHz. The IR
transmission alone, and the red transmission alone, will each be on for about
one-fifth of the duty cycle; this cycle is controlled by the HSOs of the CPU.
The IR and red LEDs are separately controlled with their drive currents
multiplexed over two shared wires. Current to the IR LED is in the range of
4.3-50.0 mA; and, current to the red LED is in the range of 4.3 to 50 mA.
Currents are limited to less than 100 mA for two reasons: (1) slight excess
current can potentially change the emission characteristics of the LEDs, and
(2) large excess current could create excessive heat at the sensor site.
The IR/red LED transmission signal (HSO1 of the CPU) is fed into the select
inputs of the triple single-pole-double-throw (SPDT) analog multiplexing
switch U7, causing either the IR or the red LED transmission to be enabled.
PWM1, which is filtered by the network of R45, R35, C41, and C42, is input
to the LED drive circuit switch U7 and controls the magnitude of the IR LED
current supply.
PWM2, which is filtered by the network of R29, R39, C35, and C23, is also
input to U7 and controls the red LED current magnitude.
Two NPN transistors (Q8 and Q10) act as current sources for the IR and red
LED outputs. Two PNP transistors (Q9 and Q11) act as switches between the
IR and red LED output lines. Transistor Q12 acts as an LED drive current
limiter; it clamps the output of the current regulator circuit to the required
level. If any resistor in the LED drive circuit fails, current to the LED will
still be limited to a safe level.
The RSENS line senses the RCal value and enables the CPU to make the
proper calculations based on the type of sensor being used.
S3.3.2 Input Conditioning
Input to the SpO 2 analog circuit is the current output of the sensor
photodiode. In order to condition the signal current, it is necessary to convert
the current to voltage.
A differential synchronous demodulation circuit is used to reduce the effects

of other light sources and stray frequency inputs to the system. Because the
IR and red signals are absorbed differently by body tissue, their received
signal intensities are at different levels. Therefore, the IR and red signals
must be demodulated and then amplified separately in order to compare
them to each other. Demultiplexing is accomplished by means of two circuits
that alternately select the IR and red signal. Selection of the circuits is
controlled by two switches that are coordinated with the IR and red
transmissions. A filter with a large time constant follows to smooth the signal
and remove noise before amplification.
S-14
Before the current from the photodetector is converted to voltage, any high
frequency noise is filtered by C9 and R21. The op-amp U5A is used in parallel
with the current-to-voltage converter U5B to cancel any DC voltage,
effectively AC coupling the output of U5B. The average value of the SpO2
analog reference voltage (VREF) of U5B, 5 V, is measured at test point 6.
U3B, a single-pole-single-throw (SPST) analog switch, is controlled by the

same line that controls the on/off pulsing of the LEDs. When either of the
LEDs are on (the line is low and the switch is closed) U4B is used as a
noninverting amplifier. When the LEDs are both off, U4B is used an
inverting amplifier. The signal at the output of amplifier U4B is then
demultiplexed.
The CPU HSO lines SAMPRED and SAMPIR, which are both active low,
control SPST analog switches in U3A and U3C respectively. Switch U3A is
closed to sample the red signal; switch U3C is closed to sample the IR signal.
The sampling rate for both switches is 10 kHz. Switching is coordinated with
the LED transmission so that the IR and red signals are each sampled twice
per cycle; that is, once when the LED is off (signal inverted), and once when
the LED is on (signal not inverted). The filtering circuit that follows has a
long time constant, thereby acting as an averaging circuit.
If the instantaneous average photocurrent (DC offset) is excessive and U5B

cannot bring it to VREF, the PHOTOI line to the CPU (HSI0) is activated.
This action is an indication of excess ambient light into the photosensor, or
the occurrence of excess noise in the input circuit. It also serves as a warning
to the instrument that the sensor signal may be contaminated and causes the
software to send an error message.
S3.3.3 Signal Gain
The separated IR and red signals are amplified so that their DC values are
within the range of the A/D converter. Because the received IR and red
signals are typically at different current levels, the signal gain circuits
provide independent amplification for each signal as needed. The gain in
these circuits is adjusted by means of the PWM lines.
After the IR and red signals are amplified, they are filtered to improve the
signal-to-noise ratio and clamped to a reference voltage to prevent the
combined AC and DC signal from exceeding an acceptable input voltage from
the A/D converter.
S3.3.3.1 Variable Gain Circuits
The two variable gain circuits are functionally equivalent. The gain of each
circuit is contingent upon the signal’s received level and is controlled to bring
each signal to approximately 3.5 V. Each circuit uses an amplifier and one
switch in the triple SPDT analog multiplexing unit U9.
The gain in each of the circuits is accomplished by means of a feedback loop,

which includes one of the SPDT switches in U9. The PWMs control whether
the feedback loop is connected to ground or to the amplifier output. The
feedback is then averaged by C17/R27 (red), and C20/R26 (IR). The higher the
value of PWM2, the greater the IR gain; the higher the value of PWM1, the
greater the red gain.
S-15
S3.3.3.2 Filtering Circuits
These circuits consist of two cascaded second-order filters with a break

frequency of 10 Hz. Diodes (CR1/CR2 for the red channel, CR4/CR3 for the IR
channel) connected to VREF and ground at the positive inputs of the second
amplifiers, maintain the voltage output within the range of the A/D
converter.
S3.3.4 AC Ranging
In order to achieve a specified level of oxygen saturation measurement and to

still use a standard-type combined CPU and A/D converter, the DC offset is
subtracted from each signal. Because the DC portion of the signal can be on
the order of one thousand times the AC modulation, 16 bits of A/D conversion
would otherwise be required to accurately compare the IR and red
modulations between the combined AC and DC signals. The DC offsets are
subtracted by using an analog switch to set the mean signal value to the
mean of the range of the A/D converter whenever necessary. The AC
modulation is then superimposed upon that DC level. This is also known as
AC ranging.
Each AC signal is subsequently amplified such that its peak-to-peak values

span one-fifth of the range of the A/D converter. The amplified AC signals are
then filtered to remove the residual effects of the PWM modulations and,
finally, are input to the CPU. The combined AC and DC signals for both IR
and red signals are separately input to the A/D converter.
S3.3.4.1 Offset Subtraction Circuits
Voltage dividers R53 and R49 (red), and R61 and R63 (IR), which are located
between VREF and ground, establish a baseline voltage of 2.75 V at the input
of the unity gain amplifiers U12C (red) and U12D (IR).
Whenever SPST analog switches U11A and U11D are closed by HSO0 (active
low), the DC portions of the IR and red signals create a charge, which is
stored on C54 and C46, respectively. These capacitors hold this charge even
after the switches are opened and the resulting voltage is subtracted from the
combined signal — leaving only the AC modulation output. This AC signal is
superimposed on the baseline voltage output by U12C and U12D. The IRDC
and REDDC are then filtered and input to the microprocessor on the CPU
PCB.
S3.3.4.2 AC Variable Gain Control Circuits
The AC modulations are amplified by U12A (red) and U12B (IR) and
superimposed on the baseline voltages present at the output of U12D (IR) and
U12C (red). The amplification is handled by means of the SPDT analog
multiplexing switch U13 within the feedback loop, which increases gain as
PWM0 is increased. The IRAC and REDAC are then filtered and input to the
microprocessor on the CPU PCB.
S3.3.5 Audio Output
LS1, a piezo ceramic sounder, is the audio output device. Due to its low drive
current of 2 mA maximum, no drive circuitry is needed and is driven directly
from the external output port. It is differentially driven with 2 square waves
180 degrees out of phase. The drive frequency is approximately 1480 Hz or
740 Hz and is generated by the CPU. LS1 is differentially driven to obtain
maximum audible volume.
S-16
S3.3.6 Display Control Circuitry
The LCD CE, LCD CLK, and LCD DATA from external output port U9 and
LCD EN from the microprocessor on the CPU PCB are connected to the LCD
drive IC, U1. U1, in turn, drives the individual segments of the LCD. The
microprocessor drives LCD CE and LCD EN high, connected to the U1 CE
and INH inputs, respectively. At that time, data on the LCD DATA line is
clocked into U1 by the LCD CLK line. U1 then decodes the data input and
turns the proper segments on or off on the LCD. The INH inhibit input of U1
is held low by resistor R9 until the line is driven high by the LCD EN signal
from microprocessor on the CPU PCB. This assures that the display is
blanked until it is under microprocessor control. Should the microprocessor
be reset, the LCD EN line goes to a floating state, R9 then pulls the INH
input to U1 low, and the display is blanked.
S3.3.7 Power Conditioning Circuitry
Unfiltered positive (RAW+10V) and negative (RAW-5V) voltages from the

CPU PCB are applied to the power conditioning circuit. RAW+10V is filtered
by a circuit consisting of R6, C1, and C2 to provide a clean and stable +10 V
dc operating voltage for LCD PCB SpO 2 analog and other circuits. Likewise,
RAW-5V is filtered by a circuit consisting of R11, C8, and C10 to provide a
clean and stable -5 V dc operating voltage for the LCD PCB circuits. A
filtered +5Vdc (VCC) from the CPU PCB is also used as VCC by circuits on
the LCD PCB.
S3.3.8 Analog Reference Voltage
RAW +10V from the CPU PCB is applied to a filter consisting of R7 and C6 to
create VIN that is used by voltage converter U2 to create VREF. U2 provides
an accurate, regulated voltage that is used as the reference voltage for the
A/D inside the microprocessor U4 on the CPU PCB. Filtering is provided by
C7, C9, and R12. The voltage output VREF is + 5 Vdc.
S3.3.9 LCD Backlighting
RAW+10V from the CPU PCB is used as power for the LCD backlight. The
LCD backlight consists of LEDs DS1 through DS6. Resistors R3 and R4
provide current limiting for the LEDs. Transistor Q2 is turned on when the
LCD LIGHT signal from external output port U9 on the CPU PCB goes high
which, in turn, illuminates the backlight LEDs.
S3.3.10 Printer Drive Circuit
The printer drive circuit consists of R1, R2, Q1, and DS7. The IR OUT signal
from microprocessor U4 on the CPU PCB controls transistor Q1 which, in
turn, controls infrared LED DS7. DS7 is used to provide a data signal that is
transmitted to an external printer with an infrared receiver.
