EVAL-ADPD188GGZ User Guide: Evaluating the ADPD188GG Optical Module

User guide for the EVAL-ADPD188GGZ evaluation board, designed for testing the ADPD188GG optical module in wrist-based photoplethysmography (PPG) applications.

View design document

Overview

The EVAL-ADPD188GGZ User Guide provides technical instructions for evaluating the ADPD188GG optical module. The evaluation system utilizes the Applications Wavetool graphical user interface (GUI), enabling register-level and high-level configuration, real-time frequency and time domain analysis, and UDP transfer capability. The hardware is specifically optimized for wrist-based photoplethysmography (PPG) and vital signs monitoring. The document details the setup process involving the EVAL-ADPDUCZ microcontroller board, firmware upgrading via DfuSe USB software, and data acquisition through the UART bridge. Schematic diagrams include integrated components such as the ADXL362BCCZ accelerometer and FT232 UART IC.

Use Cases

  • Vital signs monitoring development
  • Wrist-based heart rate monitor prototyping
  • Optical sensor performance evaluation
