Chapter 4: Oximeter Circuit Description

System Context
This document describes the operational electronic hardware for the BCI 3180 main
board, 71952B1. This document is meant to supplement the system schematics 71952S1-
1-8 (Please see 71950SRS, 3180 Oximeter Requirements Summary and 71960SDR,
Software Design Requirements, for additional information on the monitor and it’s
hardware design).

Block Diagram (Top Level Schematic)

The top level schematic contains 7 lower level sections.

Power Entry
The BCI 3180 takes power directly from a line cord. There is no external “brick”. The
line input is fused and routed through an EMI filter consisting of inductor L4 and
capacitor C6. TR1 is a transorb that limits voltage spikes coming in from the line.
The voltage selector switch SW3 is used to select between 110VAC and 220VAC
operation. This switch is accessible by the user through the bottom of the case of the
3180. The transformer T1, bridge D1 and the capacitors form a simple unregulated power
supply capable of delivering 24VDC at 1.0A.

Battery Charger
The BCI 3180 uses an internal battery to provide power during line interruptions. The
circuit has been designed to support two different battery technologies: Lead Acid and
NiMH. The board is built up to specifically support one of the two battery technologies.
Both battery charger designs use the LT1074 (U1) to deliver charge current to the battery
and power to the system. The battery (-) is tied to system ground through a resister (R26).
When the charger is active the voltage drop across this resister is used to control the
charge current to the battery independent of the current drawn from the supply to power
the oximeter.
For a Lead Acid system the charge current is controlled with U3B by regulating a 360mV
drop across R26. During normal charging R26 is in parallel with R22\R28 for a charge
current of 480mA. The peak battery voltage is detected by the comparitor at U8A. When
the peak voltage occurs this amp is latched low with diode D6. This then turns off Q4 and
releases the R22\R28 resisters from the sense line. The charge current drops to a trickle
value of 4.4mA. Q3 is used to generate a CHARGE signal to the processor. Q20 and
D19 limit the supply voltage to U8A so that U8, Q3 and Q4 are not damaged during high
line conditions.
The NiMH system substitutes the Maxim MAX713 for the descrete design and provides
the same control of charge current via R26. This chip also provides temperature
compensation of the the charge cycle using T3, T4 and a thermister located inside the
NiMH battery pack.
The battery disconnect switch SW1 is used to positively disconnect the battery from the
system during shipment and long storage intervals.

Service Manual 4-1

Chapter 4: Oximeter Circuit Description

Vcc Power Supply

The 5V power for the BCI 3180 is provided by a Micrel MC5157 linear regulator (U5)
and pass MOSFET (Q6). The direct output from this supply provides digital system
power and power to the LCD backlight. Q19 is used to turn the backlight on and off. A
filter (L2\C25) is used to isolate the digital noise from the analog 5V supply. A Maxim
MAX860 voltage inverter converts the analog +5 to –5V for the oximeter front end
circuitry. A second negative supply is provided by the Maxim MAX749 for the bias
voltage on the LCD display. Contast adjustment is achieved using the internal control of
the MAX749 using the LCD-ADJ and LCD-CTL lines from the processor. The network
made up of R35, R114 and T5 provides temperature compensation for the contrast
voltage. The MAX690 watchdog timer provides the /RESET signal to the processor. It
also switches the supply to the system RAM from Vcc to battery power when the system
is powered down. The PFI input and /PFO output are used to monitor the "low low"
condition of the battery and to disconnect the system and prevent deep discharge. Q5
provides a level shift and isolation for the power key on the front panel. The system has
hardware turn on (via Q5, D9 and U5) and software turn off (via /HALT, D10 and U4).

CPU Core
The system clock for the BCI 3180 is generated by X1, U32 and R97. This 18.432Mhz
signal is fed into the Cypress Semiconductor PPL (U86). This chip provides a frequency
modulated output that has a center frequency of 18.432Mhz but is spread out over a
25Khz band to limit EMI spikes. Both clocks are routed to the Altera EPM7064 FPGA
(U14). The processor gets the modulated clock and the oximeter PIC processor gets a
divided down version of the unmodulated clock. A separate modulated clock is provided
to the LCD display at P12. In this way the oximeter timing is precise while EMI is
reduced.
The FPGA contains all of the "glue" logic in the system as well as an audio DAC for
controlling the audio volume. The Zilog ZS180 8 bit microprocessor (U8) contains
several internal peripheral elements including two timers, two UARTS, an MMU, two
DMA channels and a Synchronous Serial Port. This is supplemented with up to
512Kbytes of ROM (U9) and 128Kbytes of RAM (U10). The buffer at U18 and header
P1 provide the link between the processor and the LCD display. The signals on header P8
are used to reprogram the FPGA during development or service updates. The
configuration switch SW2 is not currently used.

Keypad and LEDs

The keypad has five keys and four LEDs. The keys are read directly by the processor and
not "scanned". Three of the LEDs are under processor control while the fourth is powered
from Vchg and is lit whenever AC power is applied the unit.

Audio and I/O

The audio output from the monitor is amplified by the TPA301 at U17. The Dallas
DS1302 RTCC (U18) provides the system with a real time clock and calendar for marking
trend information. U18 has an internal oscillator and uses X2 to keep at 32Khz time base.
The RTCC is powered from the battery with the system RAM when power is off. The
PIC processor at U19 provides a serial link to an infrared Hewlett Packard printer. The
Z180 processor uses one of internal UARTs to send data to the PIC which passes it on to
the IR printer using emitter D12.

Oximeter Section
The Oximeter front end circuitry is controlled by the Microchip PIC16F873 (U85).
Connector P11 is used to reprogram the PIC on the board during development. The
following signals are used by the PIC to control the oximeter hardware and to
communicate with the Z180 host processor.

The Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) U25 is a 12 bit, successive approximation

sampling ADC. The ADC +IN signal input comes from TP14. VREF is used here as a
pseudo ground. The ADC is configured as a differential input converter with the -IN
input connected to VREF. This allows the +IN signal to range from 2.5V to 5V.

The ADC transfers data with a 3 wire serial interface. AD-CLK synchronizes the data
transfer with each bit being transmitted on the falling AD-CLK edge and captured on the
rising AD-CLK edge. /AD-CS must be held low when the ADC transmits data.

LED Drive circuitry is used to turn on and off the Oximetry probe LED’s, precisely
controlling the current through them. The second half of the variable potentiometer U24 is
used to generate voltage between 0 and 2.5VDC. U24 is controlled, serially, by the PIC
processor. Operational amplifier U27B together with transistor Q16 create a constant
current sink. The current is proportional to the voltage generated by variable
potentiometer. The H-bridge Q13-Q14 is used to activate either LED, red or infrared,
inside the Oximeter probe. The following table describes the states of the H-bridge:

RED-DRV IR-DRV /RED-ENBL /IR-ENBL Function

1 0 0 1 Red LED is on
0 1 1 0 Infrared LED is on
0 0 1 1 “Open circuit” state

In this table 1 indicates logic 1, 0 indicates logic 0.

The “Open circuit” state is used to check for a possible probe cable fault. In case of probe
cable fault, one of the LED wires can short to the ground shield causing high current

Service Manual 4-3

Chapter 4: Oximeter Circuit Description

through the probe LED. To prevent this, before turning any LED on, the processor checks
the cable by “floating” the H-bridge. If the cable is shorted, CON3 and CON2 connections
are pulled low, and comparator U28B generates /PRB_FAULT signal, which causes the
processor to shut down the LED excitation cycle and generate the appropriate message.

The differential photo amplifier formed by U21 and U20B, converts the photodetector’s
current output to a voltage at TP11 (VAMB). Amplifier U20A offsets the signal at TP11
allowing a wider signal range for the negative-going pulses at TP12.

Comparator U28A is used to inform the microprocessor if U20B is saturated by an excess

of ambient light. VAMB is passed through blocking capacitor C76 to remove the signal’s
DC component. The signal is then buffered and amplified by U23A. Gain is defined by
the first channel of digital potentiometer U24. The output of U23A is routed to the
integrator-filter-offset circuitry U23B, controlled by analog switch U22. The output of the
integrator is then routed to the ADC for measurement.
