Important Things in Measurement of ECG Signal
• Clinically-important frequency component of ECG signal- 0 ~ 250Hz
October 14, 2011 RPS 4
• Change in voltage in chest wall- Less than 3mV (very weak)
• Measurement in environments with much noise
Change in voltage inside this range must be faithfully reproduced
Voltage gain of high signal-to-noise ratio (250 to 1000 times) must be gained• Signal-to-noise ratio: The ratio of signal power to the noise power

Power Circuit
•An example of block diagram illustrating cardiography equipment•ECG signal is very weak
•The signal must not be amplified suddenly
•Differential amplifier is used as head amplifier
An amplifier is needed
The signal is amplified in stages
• Noises are reduced• signal-to-noise ratio is
improved

Power Circuit
•An example of block diagram illustrating cardiography equipment
•For securing of security, impedance converter, lead network and head amplifier have to be isolated from main amplifier, power circuit and A/D converter
Question•A/D converter (AD9254) is included in HSMC- Pipelined switched capacitor ADC- Sampling frequency: 150MHz- Resolution: 14-bit- Power: 430mW

HSMC
Performance is overmuch•Clinically-important frequency component of ECG signal is from 0 to 250Hz
500Hz is enough for sampling frequency
•Using a lot of electricity•Conversion process is complex•Using A/D converter in HSMC is of questionable value
Requirements for Measurement of ECG
• An amplifier is needed• Securing of security also have to be considered
