MAX32664GTGA+

Sensor And Detector Interfaces Overview

The MAX32664GTGA+T is a biometric sensor hub from Analog Devices, packaged in a 24-pin TQFN (3mm x 3mm) with an exposed pad. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.71V to 3.63V, with a typical nominal value of 1.8V. The device features a system clock frequency of 96MHz and includes a real-time clock oscillator input/output for a 32.768kHz crystal. It supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C. The component interfaces with host microcontrollers via a fast-mode slave I2C port and connects to sensors using either a master I2C or SPI interface depending on the specific version configuration.

Sensor And Detector Interfaces Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation to ensure correct package type and RoHS compliance status. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as stock levels fluctuate. Ensure the selected variant matches the required sensor interface (I2C or SPI) for the target application design.

Sensor And Detector Interfaces Selection Notes

Select the appropriate version based on the intended placement (finger, wrist, or ear) and the specific biometric parameters required. Verify compatibility with the target optical sensor models such as MAX30101/102 or MAX86140/141. Ensure the host system supports the required I2C communication protocol for data retrieval and control commands.

Sensor And Detector Interfaces FAQ

What is the function of the MFIO pin?

The MFIO pin acts as a multifunction I/O. It asserts low when the sensor hub needs to communicate with the host and enters bootloader mode if held low during a reset.

How does the device handle motion artifacts?

The wearable algorithms support a directly connected accelerometer or X, Y, and Z samples from a host-connected accelerometer to provide robust detection and compensation of motion artifacts.

What interfaces are available for sensor communication?

Depending on the version, the device provides either a master mode I2C interface or a master mode SPI interface for communication with connected sensors.
