AFE4300: 8.1.2 Handling Oscillation of the Excitation Amplifier

Part Number: AFE4300

In AFE4300 datasheet section 8.1.2 Handling Oscillation of the Excitation Amplifier.  I see a recommendation to use series Rcm, Ccm (1K, 1nF) on one of the RPx pins to prevent oscillations. However this will also have the calibration resistor connected between RPx & RNx.  Wont this affect the calibration slope & offset value ?

Suppose i have a 1 Kohm between RP1 & RN1 for calibration and also Rcm series Ccm on RP1 pin what should be the resistance value i should use in the software for the slope formula ?  Eq 1 sbaa202

thx

  • Hi Sundar,

    Putting Rcm and Ccm will change the slope . However you can find the new slope using two calibration resistor as Rcm/Ccm will be present in all the measurement ( i.e. calibration resistor, body impedance measurement). The main objective of having a calibration routine is to find the unknown variables (i.e. slope and offset). So as long as you have Rcm/Ccm in all the measurement , the slope calculated from the calibration can be used while estimating body impedance.
    You can still use 1Kohm as one of the calibration resistor,also you need one more calibration resistor.
