In order to build finger or earlobe probes which are small and unobtrusive we need miniature light sources and detectors. The reference design uses afe4403 as the main component which is a fully integrated analog front end that consist of a led transmit section for the photodiode sensor.
3 1 2 multiplexer circuit and led driver circuit the pulse oximeter needs two different wavelengths to perform measurements. A block diagram of the circuit for a pulse oximeter is shown in figure 37. The circuit is very simple and inexpensive to build the sensor to be monitored only need an oscilloscope but the case does not have an oscilloscope here an article on how to make your pc a oscilloscope.
