Maxim Integrated Products’s ultra-small hSensor Platform enables you to quickly develop wearable fitness and wellness-related prototypes. With it, you have all the necessary hardware on one PCB along with readily-accessible hardware functionality with the ARM mbed hardware development kit (HDK).
The hSensor Platform (MAXREFDES100# reference design) comprises an hSensor board that comes complete firmware with drivers, a debugger board, and a graphical user interface (GUI). The platform enables you to load algorithms for different applications.
The hSensor Platform includes the following: a MAX30003 ultra-low power, single-channel integrated biopotential AFE; a MAX30101 high-sensitivity pulse oximeter and heart-rate sensor; a MAX30205 clinical-grade temperature sensor; a MAX32620 ultra-low power ARM Cortex-M4F microcontroller optimized for wearables; a MAX14720 power management integrated circuit (PMIC); inertial sensors (three-axis accelerometer, six-axis accelerometer/gyroscope); a barometric pressure sensor; flash memory; and a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio.
The MAXREFDES100# costs $150. Hardware and firmware files are free.
