Slot Timing in Multi-LED Modes
The MAX30101 can support up to three LED channels
of sequential processing (Red, IR, and Green). In multi-
LED modes, a time slot or period exists between active
sequential channels. Table 14 displays the four possible
channel slot times associated with each pulse width
setting. Figure 3 shows an example of channel slot timing
for a SpO
2
mode application with a 1kHz sample rate.
