ADS1298ECG-FE/ADS1198ECG-FE

This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the ADS1298ECG-FE and

ADS1198ECG-FE. The ADS1298ECG-FE and ADS1198ECG-FE are evaluation modules for the

ADS1298, an eight-channel, 24-bit, and ADS1198, an eight-channel, 16-bit, analog-to digital converter

(ADC). Both devices provide low-power, integrated analog front-end (AFE) designs for patient monitoring

and portable and high-end electrocardiogram (ECG) and electroencephalogram (EEG) applications. This

user's guide includes a complete circuit description, schematic diagram, and bill of materials.

1.1 Important Disclaimer Information

CAUTION

NOTICE: The ADS1298ECG-FE and ADS1198ECG-FE are intended for

feasibility and evaluation testing only in laboratory and development

environments. This product is not for diagnostic use. This product is not for use

with a defibrillator.

The ADS1298ECG-FE/ADS1198ECG-FE is to be used only under these conditions:

• The ADS1298ECG-FE/ADS1198ECG-FE is intended only for electrical evaluation of the features of

the ADS1298 device in a laboratory, simulation, or development environment.

• The ADS1298ECG-FE/ADS1198ECG-FE is not intended for direct interface with a patient, patient

diagnostics, or with a defibrillator.

• The ADS1298ECG-FE/ADS1198ECG-FE is intended for development purposes ONLY. It is not

intended to be used as all or part of an end equipment application.

• The ADS1298ECG-FE/ADS1198ECG-FE should be used only by qualified engineers and technicians

who are familiar with the risks associated with handling electrical and mechanical components,

systems, and subsystems.

• The user is responsible for the safety of themselves, fellow employees and contractors, and co-

workers when using or handling the ADS1298ECG-FE/ADS1198ECG-FE. Furthermore, the user is

fully responsible for the contact interface between the human body and electronics; consequently, the

user is responsible for preventing electrical hazards such as shock, electrostatic discharge, and
