AFE4490 Amplifier Saturation

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AFE4490

Hi,

I am doing some measurements with the AFE4490.  I'm seeing a strange behavior.  When the TIA resistor is set to 1M I can see a  good pleth signal.  However when I introduce a lot of ambient light, like in the sun, I can adjust the ambient cancellation current to prevent the ADC from saturating, but I no longer see the pleth - the signal looks like it flatlines at the ambient DC level.  It's like the signal chain saturated in the signal chain prior to the ADC.

Any ideas?

thanks

Rob
