Das ECG 7 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die die elektrische Aktivität des Herzens aufzeichnet. Diese Platine verfügt über den MCP6N16, einen einzelnen driftfreien Instrumentenverstärker mit wählbarer Verstärkung von Microchip. Zusätzlich zum Klinkenstecker zum Anschluss des Kabels mit EKG-Elektroden bietet dieses Click Board™ die Möglichkeit, Elektroden über Schraubklemmen oder einen integrierten Header anzuschließen, wenn der Elektrodenanschluss nicht zum Klinkenstecker passt. Außerdem kann der Benutzer das Ausgangssignal in analoger oder digitaler Form verarbeiten. Dieses Click Board™ ist für medizinische Ferndiagnosegeräteanwendungen wie Elektrokardiogramm-(EKG-)Messungen geeignet.
Das ECG 7 Click Board™ wird von einer mikroSDK-kompatiblen Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ wird als vollständig getestetes Produkt geliefert und ist bereit für den Einsatz auf einem System, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
NOTE: This Click board™ represents a development and prototyping tool. It is not intended to be used for a patient's medical treatment and should not be used to diagnose or treat any conditions.
How Does The ECG 7 Click Board™ Work?
The ECG 7 Click Board™ is based on the MCP6N16, a zero-drift instrumentation amplifier designed for single-supply operation with rail-to-rail input and output performance from Microchip. The design of the MCP6N16 is based on a current feedback architecture which allows for the output voltage to be independently set regardless of the input common-mode voltage. Its internal offset correction gives high DC precision, low offset and drift, and negligible noise.
The head part of the board represents a differential amplification stage based on the MCP6N16, with the RC input filter providing a low-pass function for differential mode signals. This part also comes with selectable gain for the MCP6N16, performed by an onboard switch marked as GAIN, allowing users to quickly set the gain on the MCP6N16 to either 101V/V or 301V/V by setting the switch to an appropriate position. After that, the signal from MCP6N16 goes through amplification and buffering by the MCP6002 operational amplifier. Then the signal is ready for further processing in analog or digital format.
As mentioned before, the ECG 7 Click Board™ possesses two ways to communicate with the MCU. The output voltage of the MCP6002 Op-Amp can be converted to a digital value using MCP3221, a successive approximation A/D converter from Microchip, using a 2-wire I2C compatible interface, or can be sent directly to an analog pin of the mikroBUS™ socket labelled as AN. Selection is performed by onboard SMD switch labelled as VOUT SEL to an appropriate position marked as AN and ADC. Using MCP3221 and I2C interface, data transfers at rates of up to 100kbit/s in the Standard and 400kbit/s in the Fast Mode.
In addition to the 3.5mm jack connector reserved for connecting the ECG/EMG cable with ECG electrodes, this Click board™ offers the possibility of connecting electrodes through screw terminals labelled as VIN+ and VIN-, or unpopulated header if the electrode connection does not match the jack connector.
The ECG 7 Click Board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, it is allowed for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.

Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need a USB UART Click Board™, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
MIKROSDK
The ECG 7 Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
