FIGURE A: SYSTEM DIAGRAM

The system consists of a microcontroller, operating under program control, which collects signal inputs from
the various peripheral signal conditioning circuits and stores that information on a removable data storage
media. The system provides a User Interface (UI), which consists of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), an Event
push button and a Power push button. A serial data link port, capable of communicating with external devices
such as a Personal Computer (PC), or, various Respironics CPAP and Ventilator products is provided.
The Alice PDx is housed in a two-piece, hinged plastic housing. A removable cover on the back side of the
housing allows user access for replacement of the three “AA” cells, which provide power for the unit. The same
cover also allows access to the removable data storage card.
All of the electrical circuitry is contained on three PCAs, broken down as follows:
• Analog PCA
• Digital PCA
• Battery PCA
A detailed explanation of the circuitry on each PCA will follow.

DETAILED CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIONS
ANALOG PCA
ECG

NOTE
Refer to Alice PDx Analog Board Schematics sheets 1, 2, and 3,
located in the Schematics section beginning on page 53.

The ECG subsystem consists of three signal conditioning circuits that receive biopotential signals from
electrodes on the patient’s body and convert them to signals suitable for application to the ADC in the
microcontroller. All three channels provide identical gain and frequency response and differ only in input
connections.
All ECG signal conditioners are designed to the following parameters:
• Input voltage range: +/-4 mVDC
• Input coupling type: DC
• Input impedance: 10 Megohm single-ended, 20 Megohm differential
• Bandwidth: 0.318Hz to 200Hz (-3 dB)
• Output voltage range: 0 to 3VDC
• Quiescent output voltage: 1.5VDC
• Total gain: 375
The three ECG channels are ECG-I, ECG-II and ECG-V. Since each of the three signal conditioners contain
identical circuitry, only ECG-I will be discussed here.
In a normal configuration, electrodes are placed on the patient in the following locations: left arm, right arm, left
leg, right leg and chest. ECG-I measures the potential between the left arm and the right arm. ECG-II
measures the potential between the left leg (+) and the right arm (-). ECG-V measures the potential between
the chest electrode (+) and the average voltage of the left arm, right arm and left leg electrodes. Other ECG
channels (known as “leads”) can be derived by the algebraic addition and subtraction of the various channels
by software running in the microcontroller, or in the host computer.
Signal from the patient electrodes enter the Alice PDx unit at J16-1 (left arm) and J16-3 (right arm) and passes
through R1 and R21, which in conjunction with C7 and C22, form lowpass filters for EMC susceptibility
reduction. A Transient Voltage Suppressor (CR4) and conventional diodes CR1A and CR1B provide ESD
protection. Resistors R18 and R20 bias the left and right arm signals approximately 1.5 VDC to ensure these
signals are within the common mode range acceptable to U9.
Amplifier U9 is a low-drift instrumentation amplifier which amplifies the difference between the left and right arm
signals by a factor of 18.7.
The output of U9 is fed to a four pole lowpass active filter formed by U10A and U10B. This filter has a cutoff
frequency (Fc) of 200 Hz (-3dB) and a gain of 20. This filter was designed to have low phase distortion, to
prevent distortion of the ECG waveform. The filtered signal is buffered by amplifier U10D prior to being sent to
the microcontroller ADC.
Amplifier U10C forms an integrator which is used to remove any DC shift that may occur in the amplifier/filter
chain. The integrator has a Tc of 10 seconds and feeds back into the reference input of instrumentation
amplifier U9. The integrator causes the signal at the output of U10B to be centered about ANALOG_REF, even

PAGE 14 1054417, VER. 01

Alice® PDxTM Service & Technical Reference Manual

if a DC shift occurs due to amplifier offsets or a small DC offset occurring in the signal input. The action of the
integrator causes the appearance of a single pole of highpass filtering with a cutoff frequency of 0.318 Hz to
appear in the response of the ECG signal conditioning circuit.

EEG/EOG

NOTE
Refer to Alice PDx Analog Board Schematic sheets 4, 5, and 6,
located in the Schematics section beginning on page 53.

The EEG signal conditioners serve to amplify and filter the low-level “brain-wave” signals picked up by
electrodes placed on the scalp of the patient such that they are suitable for application to the microcontroller
ADC. There are a total of 5 EEG amplifiers in the Alice PDx system. They are:
• EEG N1 R1
• EEG N2 R1
• EEG N3 R2
• EEG N4 R2
• EEG R1 R2
All EEG signal conditioners are designed to the following parameters:
• Input voltage range: 1000 µVp-p
• Input coupling type: AC
• Input impedance: 2 Megohm single-ended, 4 Megohm differential
• Bandwidth: 0.08 Hz to 35 Hz (-3 dB)
• Output voltage range: 0 to 3 VDC
• Quiescent output voltage: 1.5 VDC
• Total gain: 3000
Since all five signal conditioners function identically, with the exception of their input connections, the operation
of only one amplifier will be described here.
Signal from the electrodes enters the Alice PDx at J7-1 and J7-2 and pass through EMC/ESD protection
components CR19B, R209, C30, CR18A, C32, R210, C129, C130 and C132. The signal then passes through
a highpass RC filter consisting of C158, R63, C159 and R64. This filter serves to remove any DC offset due to
electrogalvanic action of the electrodes and has a cutoff frequency of 0.08 Hz. The signal is amplified by
instrumentation amplifier U1 with a gain of 150.
The amplified signal then passes to a four-pole active filter composed of amplifiers U2A and U2B. This filter
has a gain of 20, a cutoff frequency of 35 Hz, and is designed to minimize phase distortion of the signal.
The filtered signal next travels to amplifier U2D, where it is buffered prior to being sent to the analog input of
the system microcontroller.
A sample of the filtered signal is sent to an integrator formed by U2C. The output of the integrator feeds the
reference pin of U1 and causes the output of U2B to have a quiescent voltage equal to ANALOG_REF, thus,
removing any DC offset due to amplifier offsets.

EOG

NOTE
Refer to Alice PDx Analog Board Schematic sheets 7 and 8, located
in the Schematics section beginning on page 53.

Alice PDx contains three EMG signal conditioners which function identically to the EEG signal conditioners,
but, are designed to different parameters. All EMG signal conditioners are designed to the following
parameters:
• Input voltage range: 300 uVp-p
• Input coupling type: AC
• Input impedance: 2 Megohm single-ended, 4 Megohm differential
• Bandwidth: 10 Hz to 100 Hz (-3 dB)
• Output voltage range: 0 to 3 VDC
• Quiescent output voltage: 1.5 VDC
• Total gain: 10,000

EFFORT BELT

NOTE
Refer to Alice PDx Analog Board Schematic sheets 9 and 10
located in the Schematics section beginning on page 53.

The operation of effort belt #1 is identical to that of #2, therefore, only the operation of belt #1 will be explained
here.
An elastic belt which has wire woven through it is wrapped around the patient’s abdominal or thoracic area. As
the patient breathes, the diameter of the patient’s abdomen or thorax changes, causing a change in the belt
diameter. Any change in the belt diameter causes a change in the belt’s inductance. The belt inductance, in
concert with C75 and C85 form a resonant circuit which controls the frequency of a Pierce oscillator formed
with U19. As the belt inductance changes, so does the frequency of oscillation. The nominal frequency of
oscillation of Belt #1 is approximately 100 KHz while Belt #2 is 170 KHz. These nominal frequencies can vary
over a wide range, depending on the inductance of the effort belt.
The nominal belt inductance is approximately 42 uH. This test was performed on a few belts that were
available at the time of test and may not be indicative of inductance values to be expected in other belt
samples.
The output of oscillator U19 is fed into U20, an LM555CM timer chip operating as a oneshot multivibrator. In
this mode, every falling edge of the signal from U19 causes U20 to output a positive pulse of a fixed duration of
approximately 1.4 usec. U20 will change the rate at which it is triggered, due to changes in U19 frequency. This
change of trigger rate, when taken with a constant duration pulse output by U20 each time it is triggered,
means the duty cycle of U20’s output changes in response to changes in U19’s oscillation frequency. U20’s
output pulses are low pass filtered in a network formed by R165, R166, R167, C103, C104 and C105. After
filtering, a DC voltage is obtained which is proportional to the frequency of oscillation of U19. Since U19’s
frequency of oscillation is controlled by the inductance of the effort belt, we now have derived a voltage whose
value is dependent upon the inductance of the effort belt.

PAGE 16 1054417, VER. 01

Alice® PDxTM Service & Technical Reference Manual

The DC voltage obtained across C105 is fed to amplifiers U21A and U21B via capacitor C117. C117 removes
any DC offset that may be present in the belt signal while U21 amplifies the signal to a level suitable for
application to the ADC.
It should be noted that the effort belt signals are fed to the LTC1867L 16 bit ADC, rather than the internal ADC
of the microcontroller. This was done because it was felt that respiratory signal would need a greater dynamic
range than other signals.

PRESSURE/SNORE/RESPIRATION SENSOR

NOTE
Refer to Alice PDx Analog Board Schematic sheet 11located in the
Schematics section beginning on page 53.

The pressure sensor in Alice PDx allows the measurement of pressure at the patient’s mask due to a CPAP or
ventilator, and the detection of both snore and respiration via the use of a nasal cannula.
When a pressure tap is connected from the Alice PDx to the patients’ mask, pressure over the range of -5 to 40
CM can be read from the sensor into the microcontroller via the sensor’s I2C port.
When a cannula is connected, patient snore and respiration signals are detected by using a direct connection
from the sensor’s bridge output pins, which is amplified in instrument amplifier U18. Here, the differential
voltage is amplified by a gain of 82.
The amplified signal is then fed to two sets of amplifier/filter circuits for deriving the respiration and snore
signals.
The respiration signal is detected by taking the U18 output and passing it first through a single pole RC filter
consisting of C81 and R17. This filter has a cutoff frequency of.03 Hz. The signal is then amplified by a factor of
3.15 by U17A. The respiration signal passes through a 15 Hz, 2 pole active filter, consisting of U17B and
associated components. The amplified and filtered signal is then sent to the LTC1867L 16 bit ADC (U30) on
the digital board.
The output of amplifier U18 also feeds the snore detection circuit. The amplified signal. Passes through U23A,
where it is highpass filtered at 100 Hz and amplified with a voltage gain of 50. The filtered signal next passes
through U23B, which is configured as a gain of 1 inverting amplifier. This amplifier configuration was chosen to
provide a simple way to increase the gain of the signal path, if needed, simply by changing the values of
resistors R27 and R12. U23C and U23D provide additional voltage gain (8) and lowpass filtering (180 Hz) of
the signal, prior to application to the analog to digital converter U30, located on the digital board.
The pressure sensor used in the Alice PDx offers extremely stable performance over a wide range of
temperatures. Stability of the sensor is enhanced by an onboard temperature sensor and DSP that correct the
sensor’s output as needed, to limit error to +/-2% over the temperature range of 0 – 60 °C.
Since the digital output of the sensor is only updated at a rate of <100 Hz and is limited to 12 bits, it was
necessary to gain access directly to the bridge outputs and apply external signal processing to obtain the snore
and respiration signals.

DIGITAL PCA

MICROCONTROLLER

NOTE
Refer to Alice PDx Digital Board Schematic sheet 3 located in the
Schematics section beginning on page 53.

The system microcontroller is a Microchip dsPIC33FJ256GP710. Key features of this part include:
• 256 KB Flash program memory
• 32 Kbytes static RAM
• 32 Analog inputs
• 2 UARTS
• 2 SPI ports
• 2 I2C ports
• The ability to access many peripherals via DMA
The microcontroller is responsible for coordinating the operation of Alice PDx system. Analog signals are
received from the various sensors and processed by their respective conditioning circuits. These signals are
then passed to the microcontroller where they are further processed for storage on the SD memory card.

THERMISTOR CIRCUIT

NOTE
Refer to Alice PDx Digital Board Schematic sheet 1 located in the
Schematics section beginning on page 53.

The thermistor circuit provides the interface between a nasal or oral thermistor and the system microcontroller.
Current flow through the thermistor, via resistor R137 causes a voltage to be developed across the thermistor.
Slight variations will occur in the voltage across the thermistor in response to resistance changes due to patient
respiration. These voltage variations will be coupled through a low pass filter, consisting of R155 and C50 and
then through a highpass filter consisting of R145 and C210. The filtered signal is then amplified by U38A and
low pass filtered by R293 and C211 before being sent to the LT1867L 16 bit ADC.
A THERM_GOOD signals the microcontroller when a plug is inserted into jack J6.
• Amplifier gain: 31
• Lowpass filter cutoff: 16 Hz
• Highpass filter cutoff: 0.033 Hz

BODY POSITION SENSOR (ACCELEROMETER)

NOTE
Refer to Alice PDx Digital Board Schematic sheet 1 located in the
Schematics section beginning on page 53.

A three-axis accelerometer mounted on the digital board provides body position sensing by means of
determining the sensor’s attitude with respect to gravity. The accelerometer is oriented such that:
• X is in the vertical axis
• Y is in the horizontal axis
• Z is in the front-to-back axis

16-BIT ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER

NOTE
Refer to Alice PDx Digital Board Schematic sheet 1 located in the
Schematics section beginning on page 53.

A standalone 16 bit ADC (U30) was included to provide the high resolution needed for sensing respiratory
signals. The LTC1867L provides for up to 8 input channels, only four of which are used. The ADC
communicates with the system microcontroller via an SPI port.
The ADC’s internal reference is disabled and the device fed with an external 3.0 VDC reference.

ANALOG REFERENCE SUPPLY

Refer to Alice PDx Digital Board Schematic sheet 1.
The analog reference supply provides a voltage that is equal to VREF * ½ to all of the analog circuitry on the
digital and analog boards. This ensures that the quiescent outputs of all of the signal conditioners throughout
the system are held at one half the input range of the system ADCs.

POWER SUPPLIES

NOTE
Refer to Alice PDx Digital Board Schematic sheet 2 located in the
Schematics section beginning on page 53.

Battery voltage is converted to the various operating voltages needed by the Alice PDx by means of three DC
to DC converter circuits. These circuits supply operating voltage to the +3.3V_DIG, +3.3V_ANA and +5V
busses.
Battery voltage can vary from zero volts, for a fully discharged battery, to about 4.8 VDC, for a fully charged
battery. This poses special problems for the +3.3V supplies, as the input voltage can be less than, equal to, or,
greater than the output voltage, requiring different power supply topologies as battery voltage changes. The IC
chosen for the 3.3 VDC supplies is the LTC3440, by Linear Technologies. This part automatically reconfigures
itself as either a buck or boost converter, as needed to maintain voltage regulation.

1054417, VER. 01 PAGE 19

Alice® PDxTM Service & Technical Reference Manual

There are separate supplies for both the +3.3V_ANA and +3.3V_DIG busses, consisting of U24 and U25,
respectively.
A third DC to DC converter, U6, supplies power to the +5V bus. In this case, output voltage would always be
higher than input voltage, allowing the use of a boost-only converter topology. The part chosen for this circuit
was the LT3526B, by Linear Technologies.
The original circuit for the +5V supply was an ON Semiconductor NCP1421. While highly efficient, this part
generated a rather noisy +5V supply. Since the +5V supply feeds the pressure sensor, noise on the +5V bus
was appearing on the snore signal, lowering the signal to noise ratio of the snore signal. The +5V supply was
changed to the LT2526B in order to improve the signal to noise ratio of the snore signal.
Amplifier U39 provides an indication of battery voltage to the microcontroller. The output of U39 (Vbatt) follows
the relationship below:

Y = MX + B
Where:
Y = voltage measured directly on the battery terminals
M = 1.922
X = VBATMON
B = 0.4212

The battery monitoring circuits are located on the digital board, rather than on the battery board. As a result,
the battery monitoring circuit must measure battery voltage after it has passed through a considerable amount
of resistance, due to traces in the flex circuit, EMC choke coils, and other devices. Main power for the unit also
passes through these resistances, causing voltage drops to develop between the battery and the battery
monitoring circuit. The equation above accounts for these voltage drops, assuming the device is drawing a
nominal load current of about 78 mA. If load current should deviate from this value, it may be necessary to
recalculate the M and B constants.
The system processor monitors VBATMON and will issue a low battery warning when the battery terminal
voltage falls below approximately 3.1 volts. The low battery warning will cause the system to halt further
accesses to the SD card, as well as flash the battery icon on the LCD.
If the battery continues to drain to a terminal voltage approximately 2.82 volts, battery supervisor U7 will issue
a “battery critically low” warning to the processor via the BATT_GOOD line. This will cause the processor to go
into an immediate system shutdown. Due to the voltage drops mentioned above, it was necessary to set the
trip point of the voltage supervisor to 2.55 volts.
The control circuit for the power supplies is shown on sheet 6 of the Digital Board Schematic.
When the power button is pressed, a logic low appears at the /PR input of D-type flip flop U17, which puts the
flip flop into the preset state. When in the preset state, output /Q is at logic low, which causes MOSFETS Q3A
and Q3B to not conduct, enabling the power supplies. A similar condition can be achieved if the RTC (U5)
pulses the /IRQ/FOUT pin low in response to the passing of a preset time condition.
While any further presses of the power button have no direct effect on the power control circuit, the
microcontroller is notified of button pushes via a port pin. This button push may be detected by the program
running in the microcontroller and cause the microcontroller to initiate a shutdown of the power system. When
the microcontroller places a logic high on the gate of Q2A, flip flop U17 is forced into the CLEARED state,
applying a logic high on MOSFETS Q3A and Q3B, which causes a shutdown of the power supplies.

PAGE 20 1054417, VER. 01

Alice® PDxTM Service & Technical Reference Manual

Under this scheme, the microcontroller can initiate a shutdown not only in response to a user request, but
anytime it is necessary. A weak battery, or, a detected malfunction in the unit may be cause for a system
shutdown.

ACTIMETRY UART (U1)

NOTE
Refer to Alice PDx Digital Board Schematic sheet 2 located in the
Schematics section beginning on page 53.

A UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter), which is accessible to the microcontroller via an I2C
port is provided to support a future external actigraphy sensor.

ANALOG VOLTAGE REFERENCE

NOTE
Refer to Alice PDx Digital Board Schematic sheet 3 located in the
Schematics section beginning on page 53.

A precision 3.0 VDC reference is provided to the microcontroller ADC and the 16 bit external ADC (U30) by the
analog reference regulator (U13). ANALOG_REF is also derived from this signal.

NON-VOLATILE DATA STORAGE

NOTE
Refer to Alice PDx Digital Board Schematic sheet 3 located in the
Schematics section beginning on page 53.

32 Kbytes of non-volatile data storage is provided by EEPROM U4.

ADDITIONAL DATA STORAGE

NOTE
Refer to Alice PDx Digital Board Schematic sheet 3 located in the
Schematics section beginning on page 53.

32 Kbytes of additional temporary data storage is provided by U36. This RAM memory is accessed by an SPI
port.

LCD DRIVER

NOTE
Refer to Alice PDx Digital Board Schematic sheet 5 located in the Schematics section beginning on
page 53.

The microcontroller communicates with the LCD via I2C port 2. The 3.3 volt logic levels of the microcontroller
are translated by U2 to the 5 volt levels as required by the off board LCD. The LCD contains its own PCA8576
driver on the LCD glass.

BATTERY PCA

NOTE
Refer to Alice PDx Battery Board Schematic sheet 1 located in the Schematics section beginning on
page 53.

BATTERIES
Power for the Alice PDx is provided by three user-replaceable “AA” size cells which are mounted by means of
spring clips to the battery board. While the preferred cell chemistry is either alkaline or NiMH, it is recognized
that chemistries other than the preferred ones may be used. While these alternate chemistries may not provide
ideal performance, they should not cause damage to the Alice PDx or the batteries and must not cause a
hazardous condition to occur.

OVERCURRENT PROTECTION
Overcurrent protection is provided by positive temperature coefficient thermistor F1.

REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION

Protection of the device from the application of reverse polarity is provided by P-channel MOSFET Q1. An RC
network at the gate of Q1 provides a slow turn-on of power to the VBATT bus. This slow turn-on feature limits
the charging current to capacitors on the input of the DC to DC converters (digital board) enough to prevent
damage to MOSFET Q1.

SD CARD
The battery board contains the socket for the SD card.

INDICATOR LED
The battery board contains a bi-color (yellow/green) LED as part of the user interface. Inverters U1 and U2
provide drive current to the LEDs, as commanded by the microcontroller.
