ECG Gain Value

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TINA-TI

HELLO EVERYONE,

I AM WORKING ON A ECG CIRCUIT CURRENTLY. THE PROBLEM WITH THE CIRCUIT IS THAT,THE GAIN VALUE IS NOT GETTING SET PROPERLY,BECAUSE OF WHICH,i AM NOT GETTING THE OUTPUT.PLEASE HELP ME OUT WITH THE NECESSARY CHANGES TO BE MADE TO THE CIRCUIT

I AM NOT GETTING CORRECT OUTPUT,SO PLEASE SUGGEST THE CHANGES SOON.

THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE.

  • Hello Sooraj,

    The following link concerning ECG data acquisition has a number of resources that you may find useful: http://e2e.ti.com/support/amplifiers/precision_amplifiers/w/design_notes/2437.ecg-heart-signal-acquisition.aspx

    In particular, the presentation entitled "Design Considerations for ECG Systems" discusses the gain of the INA front end starting on pages 27.

  • hello Pete Semig,

    thank u for ur valuable information. could you suggest me some circuits which is simple enough to execute in a 2 weeks time?

    I would like to have a properly working ECG circuit ,simple enough as this would be a college project..Please reply soon with a positive reply.

    help would be highly appreciated.

    Thanking you in advance.

  • Hello sooraj,

    Considering this is a college project I assume the experience should be a learning one.  Therefore I recommend that you leverage the information from my previous post to develop a simple ECG circuit.  Once you understand the theory, I recommend simulating sub-components of the circuit in TINA-TI as was done in the aforementioned presentation.  Once you've developed a solid theoretical background that is verified with simulation, I suggest building a prototype on a 'breadboard' to verify functionality.  Once validated you should then develop and test a printed circuit board (assuming your project deliverable is a PCB).

    All in all this is quite an undertaking considering that you only have 2 weeks to complete your project.  Considering a standard PCB turnaround time is 5 business days, you have very little time upfront for design/simulation/prototype and at the end for population of the PCB and testing.

    Best of luck!

  • Ok. Thank u..But still if you give me a simple working ECG circuit..I could use it as a reference. Its very much important,thats why i am asking abt it..Please do the needfull.

    Thank u  in advance.
