electrode compatibility with ADS1298

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS1298

Hello,

Does anyone have a recommendation for electrodes that are compatible with the ADS1298. I have been told that the ones I was planning on purchasing are not compatible. I have posted the link to those below.

Thanks,

    Hey Noel,

    We don't recommend electrodes, but I don't see why the ones you linked to wouldn't work as long as you had some way of connecting them to a board. Why didn't whoever told you think they would work?

    Hi Brian,

    This is what the sales representative told me:

    "It looks like you are trying to connect a microchip to adult electrode pads is that correct? The plug as far as I know wouldn’t work with that."

    Would the best course of action be to solder/design a connector onto a cable that would allow the ADS1298 to interface with these electrodes?

    Thanks,

    Hey Noel,

    It seems like the problem is more mechanical than electrical. If you can find a connector for those electrodes which you can solder to a PCB, then those electrodes can work. Otherwise I know on the EVM for this device we have a female DB-15 connector soldered to the board and it seems that a lot of folks can find ECG cables that plug into a DB-15. In any case you're just going to want some connector that you can easily find the corresponding solderable version.

    Hi Brian,

    Thank you so much for your help. I have some more questions. Since the ADS1298 is very popular in the medical community, is there a way to connect the electrodes directly to the ADS298? Second, I was searching and stumbled upon a video explaining the ADS1298ECGFE-PDK, I will put the link below. Is this what you are referring to when you brought up the term "EVM"? It looks practical (both in price and functionality), but ideally I would like to connect the output of the ADS1298 to a microcontroller, instead of a computer (as it was done in the video). Would this still be possible? Lastly, do you happen to know the name of the waveform simulator used in the video?
