Ultra-low power 85microwatt, single-channel integrated biopotential AFE
The biopotential channel has ESD protection, EMI filtering, internal lead biasing, DC leads-off detection, ultra-low power leads-on detection during standby mode, and calibration voltages for built-in self-test. Soft power-up sequencing ensures no large transients are injected into the electrodes. The biopotential channel also has high input impedance, low noise, high CMRR, programmable gain, various low-pass and high-pass filter options, and a high-resolution analogue-to-digital converter. The biopotential channel is DC coupled, can handle large electrode voltage offsets, and has a fast recovery mode to quickly recover from overdrive conditions, such as defibrillation and electrosurgery. It comes in a 28-pin TQFN and 30-bump wafer-level package (WLP), operating over the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range.
Use the device, Maxim suggests, in bio-authentication and ECG-on-demand applications; chest band heart rate monitors for fitness applications; single lead event monitors for arrhythmia detection; and single lead wireless patches for at-home/in-hospital monitoring.

MAX 30003 features include;
Clinical-grade ECG AFE with high-resolution data converter
15.5 bits effective resolution with 5µVP-P noise
Better dry starts due to improved real world CMRR and high input impedance
Fully differential input structure with CMRR > 100dB
Offers better common-mode to differential mode conversion due to high input impedance
High input impedance > 500 MΩ for extremely low common-to-differential mode conversion
Minimum signal attenuation at the input during dry start due to high electrode impedance
High DC offset range of ±650mV (1.8V, typ) allows use with wide variety of electrodes
High AC dynamic range of 65mVP-P will help the AFE not saturate in the presence of motion/direct electrode hits
