The AD8232-EVALZ evaluation board contains an AD8232 single lead heart rate monitor front end conveniently mounted with the necessary components for initial evaluation. The AD8232 is designed to extract, amplify and filter small biopotential signals in the presence of noisy conditions, such as those created by motion or remote electrode placement. The AD8232-EVALZ has inputs, outputs, supplies and leads off detection terminals that are routed to test pins to simplify connectivity. Switches and jumpers are available for setting the input bias voltage, shutdown (SDN), fast restore (FR) and AC/DC, leads off detection mode. This board has a leads off detection mode feature optimized for either two electrode or three electrode configurations and it ships with a default configuration for applications that involve three electrodes connected to the hands.
