What is RT1025 Cardioid PAD?
 
The RT1025 Cardioid PAD is Richtek's first integrated ECG (Electrocardiography) and PPG (Photoplethysmography) AFE (Analog Front End) solution for heart-rate monitoring and measurements. It measures ECG and PPG signals simultaneously, transmitting the high-precision raw data processed from 24 bits ADC to a mobile phone via its built-in Bluetooth module. After downloading high-precision ECG and PPG raw data onto a PC, designers can create algorithms for data processing to obtain physiological information such as heartbeat, blood pressure, blood oxygen, etc. which is ideal for product development for both consumer and medical applications.

How does it work?
 
The RT1025 Cardioid PAD has three electrodes, used to create a measurement loop with your heart. By pressing your fingers on the electrodes, you can monitor both ECG and PPG waveforms and save all measurement raw data after activating Cardio EVK APP.

But how do we use ECG and PPG data to calculate blood pressure and blood oxygen? For blood pressure, we need to calculate PTT (Pulse Transit Time) which is inversely proportional to blood pressure. PTT is the time it takes for a signal to propagate through a length of the arterial tree, meaning we can estimate PTT from measuring both ECG and PPG signals travelling from the heart to the testing points. Blood oxygen is calculated by using the absorption ratio of human hemoglobin to red light and near-infrared light. The PPG measurement circuit on the Cardioid PAD transmits both light signals to human body. Designers can calculate blood oxygen by using algorithm to proceed optical signal raw data. Please have a look at the video to see a measurement demonstration and further explanation.

RT1025 ICS & RT1025 CARDIOID PAD
The RT1025 integrates low noise voltage and current sensing channels and is capable of sensing both ECG and PPG simultaneously. It features a low standby current (less than 7µA), housed in a 3.1mm x 3.4mm ultra-small CSP package. It has 24-bit high-precision ADC designed for processing ECG signals and 16-bit ADC for measuring PPG signals. In addition, with over 85dB high CMRR(common-mode rejection ratio), it can achieve good noise cancellation.

RT1025 meets IEC60601-2-27 medical electrical equipment standard and China’s YY 1079 specification, which makes it ideal for medical as well as fitness and wearable applications, such as ECG tablets, ECG bracelets, ECG chest stickers, ECG rings, etc.
