Description of the functionality
The following block diagram details the main PCB assembly containing all of the
circuitry for the MAC 400 resting ECG analysis system. The power line supply,
battery, thermal printer, keyboard and display are not on the main PCB assembly.
The PCB assembly is divided in to two sections—isolated and non-isolated.
The patient is directly connected to the isolated section of the device with the patient
cable. This section of the device is electrically isolated from the mains power supply
that is connected to the non-isolated section. The circuitry on the isolated side
acquires ECG data, amplifies it and converts it to digital format. Then, the line
frequency component and the muscle artifacts from the ECG data are filtered, and
opto-couplers transmit the digitized ECG data from the isolated side to the nonisolated side. The transformer transfers power from the non-isolated side to the
isolated side.

CPU Motorola MC68832
Memory
Real-time clock (RTC)
Equipment Overview
The Motorola MC68832 (CPU) 32-bit micro controller is the core of the MAC 400
resting ECG analysis system. The CPU interacts with SRAM, PROM, EEPROM,
RTC, FPGA, thermal printer interface, keyboard interface, display interface, audible
tone and DSP (isolated side). A 32.768KHz crystal provides the reference clock
signal for the clock synthesizer of the CPU.
Memory on the MAC 400 system includes SRAM, PROM, and Serial EEPROM.
PROM stores the code for the CPU and serial EEPROM stores configuration data.
The RTC4574 has an internal 32.768KHz crystal unit. Serial communication
between CPU and RTC4574 through the I/O port of the CPU is used to exchange
time and date information between the CPU and RTC. RTC has an accuracy of +/one minute per month. When the device is turned off, the RTC battery powers the
RTC to keep track of the time and date. The battery is a 3V Lithium Ion coin battery
with 255mAH capacity, which can supply power to the clock for a minimum of five
years.
Audible tone (beep) generator
The audible tone generator is F/TCW 05 manufactured by DIGISOUND. The CPU
controls the beep by enabling it under the following circumstances:
The beep sounds once when the self-test is complete.
The beep sounds once every five seconds when the leads are not connected.
The beep sounds once every five seconds to indicate the printer door open,
The beep sounds once for every QRS peak detected when the heart rate is
NOTE
Keyboard
The keyboard contains the following control keys: up cursor, down cursor, right
cursor, left cursor, enter, config, lead selection, copy, QRS beep, print start/stop.
The on/off key is not part of the matrix.
There are two LEDs on the keyboard – one green and one yellow.
The green LED indicates that the system is connected to active mains.
On non-Chinese systems, the yellow LED indicates that the battery voltage is

Display
The alphanumeric interface displays on a 16X2 character liquid-crystal display
powered by +5V supply. The character format is 5X7 dots plus the cursor, and the
viewing angle is six o’clock. The display type is a reflective green STN.
FPGA
The CPU-thermal printer interface, CPU-display enable logic, CPU-motor driver IC
interface are all implemented in FPGA. The CLKOUT signal is the clock signal for
logic implemented and has an output frequency of 16.7MHz.
Thermal printer and motor assembly interface
The device is equipped with a Fujitsu thermal printer and motor assembly with 576
dots, thermistor for thermal printhead temperature, paper cue sensor and door platen
sensor. There is a serial data interface between the thermal printer and the FPGA.
The strobe compensation circuit modulates the strobe pulse width in accordance
with battery voltage, speed and temperature of the thermal printhead. The strobe
pulse width decides the time for which the dots are heated. The voltage supply to the
printhead and motor is cut off when the battery voltage falls below 6V and the
thermal printhead is overheated, or by the CPU control in case of error conditions.
The motor is a bipolar stepper powered by an IC driver that moves the paper at
speeds of 5, 25 or 50mm/s.
ECG recording and pre-processing
The ECG acquisition side is isolated from the non-isolated side by 8mm of
separation. There is no electrical conduction path between the isolated and nonisolated sections, except a 68M-ohm resistor provided as a path for the leakage
current. Opto-couplers provide communication between the CPU and DSP. The
transformer provides magnetic coupling between non-isolated +5V supply and
+5V_ISO and +3.3V_ISO for power transfer. The main components of the isolated
side are:
ECG lead connector
Electrostatic discharge protection and conductive noise immunity
Probe ID circuit
Lead fail bias circuit
Right leg drive circuit
Instrumentation amplifiers
Multiplexer
ADC

+1.8V
A step-up transformer is used to transfer power from the non-isolated side to the
isolated side. The voltages generated on the acquisition side are +5V_ISO,
+3.3V_ISO and +1.8V. Communication between DSP and CPU follows SPI
protocol by transmitting signals optically using Opto-couplers.
Connector J1 connects the ECG leads to the MAC 400 system. The system supports
10 leadwire ECG cables. Diodes connected in series offer electrostatic discharge
protection. A probe ID circuit detects whether the cable is connected. A lead-fail
bias circuit detects when a particular lead is not connected. The right leg drive
circuit generates the reference signal for all the leads. Instrumentation amplifiers
provide the required gain. An 8:1 multiplexer selects the eight channels one by one.
The ADC samples each sample and sends the digitized data to CPU. The signal
chain in DSP includes notch filter, DC filter, low pass filter, down sampling and line
frequency filter. Serial EEPROM is used to store DSP code. A 20MHz external
crystal provides the reference clock signal to DSP.
Internal interfaces
This section describes the interface signals between the PCB assembly and external
modules.
