Table 3. Pin Function Descriptions

Pin No.MnemonicDescription
1HPDRIVEHigh-Pass Driver Output. Connect HPDRIVE to the capacitor in the first high-pass filter. The AD8232 drives this pin to keep HPSENSE at the same level as the reference voltage.
2+INInstrumentation Amplifier Positive Input. +IN is typically connected to the left arm (LA) electrode.
3-INInstrumentation Amplifier Negative Input. -IN is typically connected to the right arm (RA) electrode.
4RLDFBRight Leg Drive Feedback Input. RLDFB is the feedback terminal for the right leg drive circuit.
5RLDRight Leg Drive Output. Connect the driven electrode (typically, right leg) to the RLD pin.
6SWFast Restore Switch Terminal. Connect this terminal to the output of the second high-pass filter.
7OPAMP+Operational Amplifier Noninverting Input.
8REFOUTReference Buffer Output. The instrumentation amplifier output is referenced to this potential. Use REFOUT as a virtual ground for any point in the circuit that needs a signal reference.
9OPAMP-Operational Amplifier Inverting Input.
10OUTOperational Amplifier Output. The fully conditioned heart rate signal is present at this output. OUT can be connected to the input of an ADC.
11LOD-Leads Off Comparator Output. In dc leads off detection mode, LOD- is high when the electrode to -IN is disconnected, and it is low when connected. In ac leads off detection mode, LOD- is always low.
12LOD+Leads Off Comparator Output. In dc leads off detection mode, LOD+ is high when the +IN electrode is disconnected, and it is low when connected. In ac leads off detection mode, LOD+ is high when either the -IN or +IN electrode is disconnected, and it is low when both electrodes are connected.
13SDNShutdown Control Input. Drive SDN low to enter the low power shutdown mode.
14AC/DCLeads Off Mode Control Input. Drive the AC/DC pin low for dc leads off mode. Drive the AC/DC pin high for ac leads off mode.
15FRFast Restore Control Input. Drive FR high to enable fast recovery mode; otherwise, drive it low.
16GNDPower Supply Ground.
17+V SPower Supply Terminal.
18REFINReference Buffer Input. Use REFIN, a high impedance input terminal, to set the level of the reference buffer.
19IAOUTInstrumentation Amplifier Output Terminal.
20HPSENSEHigh-Pass Sense Input for Instrumentation Amplifier. Connect HPSENSE to the junction of R and C that sets the corner frequency of the dc blocking circuit.
EPExposed Pad. Connect the exposed pad to GNDor leave it unconnected.
