expected to be returned to Novametrix within 10 days in order to avoid (additional) charges. Return materials
should be cleaned as necessary and sent directly to Novametrix using the return paperwork and shipping
label(s) provided (Transferring return materials to a local sales or dealer representatives does not absolve
you of your return responsibility.).
Novametrix manufactures equipment that is generally field serviceable. When repair parts are provided, the
recipient can call Technical Support for parts replacement assistance and repair assurance. In the event a
replacement part requires increased technical capability, Technical Support may request Biomedical
assistance, provide on-site technical support or complete replacement equipment. If the customer requires
the return of their original product, the exchange material will be considered “loaner material” and exchanged
again after the customer equipment is repaired.

Patient Safety
Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive method of monitoring the oxygen saturation of arterial
blood. Pulse oximeters display oxygen saturation of functional hemoglobin and
therefore the accuracy may be interfered with by carboxyhemoglobin or other
dysfunctional hemoglobins present in significant concentrations. Oxygen saturation
monitoring is intended to be used in a variety of clinical situations, including, but not
limited to respiratory therapy, anesthesia, intensive care, and emergency.

Electronic Theory of Operation
The electronic theory of operation of the Model 509 Pulse Oximeter monitor is detailed
in the subsections below. See
accompanying information.
Schematics and Assembly Drawings
4.1 2543 Main Board
4.1.1 Power Supplies and Voltage Reference
Refer to schematic sheet 3. Power for the monitor enters at J101 when SW1 is closed
(switched ON), the power is routed to the 2581 Power board through J102. Power then
returns to the board as an analog (V8.1) and a digital (VDD) supply. Diode D1 protects
against reverse bias, fuse F1 protects against over current conditions.
The LEDSRC supply which supplies the sensor’s LEDs is current regulated by IC2 and
further filtered by L3, C8 and C9. It is supplied by the analog supply V8.1 from the 2581
board. The VDD digital supply from the 2581 board is filtered by L2 which creates the
+VA supply. The -VA supply is created by IC3 which is a charge pump inverter. The +VA
and -VA supplies are needed by the bipolar analog circuits in the monitor.
Refer to schematic sheet 2. A positive reference voltage VREF2.5 is developed by IC8,
which is a +2.5 volts DC reference derived from the +VA supply. A negative reference
voltage is developed by IC23A (pin1) by inverting the +2.5 volt supply (schematic sheet
3). This negative reference is -VREF at TP6. The analog to digital converters IC9, IC10
and IC11use the VREF2.5, the -VREF (-2.5V DC) is used by the digital to analog
converter IC22.

4.1.2 Sensor LED Drive Circuits
See schematic sheet 2. When the RDLED signal goes low (logic 0), Q3 turns off and
the VLED signal is divided down by R23 and R25, at IC7A (pin 3). FET Q2 is in turn

as a result, the Red LED in the sensor is off.
The Infrared LED drive circuit operates in the same manner as the Red LED drive
discussed above. The IRLED
controls Q8. The source of Q8 will control the Infrared LED of the sensor.
Refer to schematic sheet 3. The VLED line voltage is derived from IC23B pin 7 which

Electronic Theory of Operation
4.1.3 Photodiode Return Path
Refer to schematic sheet 2. Light, from the sensor’s red or infrared LED, shines through
the pulsating vascular bed (the patient’s finger, toe, etc.) placed between the LEDs and
the photodiode. Some of this light emerges from the tissue and impinges on the
photodiode, causing the photodiode to conduct current. IC4B pins 5-7 are set up as a
differential amplifier that converts this input current to a voltage at the amplifier output.
The sensors are wired such that photodiode current produces a positive voltage at

The voltage at IC4B pin 7 is presented to an analog switch IC5B pin 6. This switch is

to a logic high when neither LED is being driven, causing Q5 to turn on. With Q5
conducting, any charge at C15 is discharged to ground and the next pulse will charge
C15 from a known level. If it were not for Q5, any charge remaining on C15 from the
previous pulse or from ambient light reaching the photodiode would be added to the
charge from a new pulse—creating measurement errors.
If the signal at IC4A pin 1 is the product of the Red LED being turned on, then RDSAMP
will go low and close the switch at IC5A pins 2-3, thereby presenting the signal to a
sample and hold circuit consisting of R29 and C26 (that maintains the signal until next
sample pulse arrives), a gain stage, (IC6A), a filter network (C34 and R34), and finally,
to the red channel Analog-to-Digital Convertor (ADC) IC10.

4.1.4 Calibrating the 20-Bit Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs)
The 20-bit ADCs are calibrated as part of the system self-test which occurs each time
the monitor is turned on. At power up, the microprocessor sets the CAL line high. The
system calibrations input SC1 is set high. The CS5503 ADC will not operate while the
CAL line is high. On the falling edge of the CAL signal, the ADC will initiate a calibration
cycle. The type of calibration is determined by the state of the SC1.
The high at SC1 causes INSIG

C15-R14 high pass filter (and thus the entire ADC input circuitry) is brought to ground
potential.
The CAL line (which went high at power up) is reset low and ADCs IC9 and IC10 begin
their calibration cycles. Because the analog input circuitry is grounded via SIGND
circuit offset voltages can be present at the (pin 9 AIN) inputs. The calibration cycle sets

the ADC “zero” point to equal this voltage, thus compensating for any circuitry offsets.
The ADC then sets its “full scale” point to equal the voltage at its VREF (pin 10) input.
This completes the calibration cycle.
The ADC can now start sampling its input and converting it to a 20-bit digital word. The
processor resets SC1 to a logic low, causing IC5C pin9 to open and IC5B pin8 to close.
The photodiode signal can now reach the ADCs.
Refer to sheet 2 on schematic. Data from the red and infrared channels is sampled by
the 20-bit measurement ADCs, IC10 and IC9 respectively. The analog input at pin 9 is
converted to a digital representation with 20-bit resolution based on the input
magnitude.
The CS5503 converter continuously samples its input, converts the value to a digital
word, puts the word in its output buffer (overwriting previous buffer contents), then
repeats the process by again sampling its input. The frequency of the sample/convert/
overwrite-buffer sequence is based on the 3.072 MHz clock signal at the ADC pin 3
(F_ADCCLK) input.
The microprocessor starts a read cycle of the Infrared channel by bringing ADCIRCS
low. A Red channel read starts when ADCREDCS is brought low. On the falling edge
of these signals (CS
20 SDATA (Serial Data) output. The SDATA line connects directly to the
microprocessor’s serial input (RXS) pin. The remaining bits (in descending order) are
output from SDATA with subsequent falling edges of the Serial Clock (CLKS) input at
pin 19. The SDATA output automatically goes to a 3-state (high impedance) condition
after completing a word transmission, thus freeing the data line for other uses (i.e., the
other ADC channel).
The CLKS rate is significantly slower than the ADC sampling rate. As a result, the ADC
rewrites its output buffer with new information at a faster rate than the data can be read
from the buffer. No conflict occurs, however, because while CS

4.1.6 Sensor Status
The microprocessor monitors several sensor parameters in addition to the red and
infrared data channels. These parameters allow the software to determine when
certain error conditions are present in order to display the proper error code.
Refer to schematic sheet 2. The 8-to-1 multiplexor, IC12, decodes the A0MUX-A2MUX
input address lines and connects one of eight status parameter inputs to the multiplexer
output at IC12 pin 3. Resistor R47 and diode D13 prevent negative voltages from
reaching the input of IC11.
IC11 is an 8-bit serial analog-to-digital convertor. While the IC11 Chip Select ( ADC3CS
input is high, the CLK input and DOUT output are in 3-state mode. When ADC3
brought low (under processor control), the most significant bit (D7) of the previous data
conversion becomes available at the DOUT pin. The remaining bits (D6-D0) are shifted
out on subsequent falling edges of the CLK input. On the clock pulse following the one
that shifts out the least significant bit (D0), the CLK and DOUT lines are returned to 3state and IC11 performs a new conversion based on the input it receives from the IC12
channel selected by the A0MUX-A2MUX input address lines.

4.1.7 Sensor Status Parameters
The sensor status parameters input to the multiplexor IC12 are described below.
ADCVRD: This signal is not used as of this writing.
ADCVIR: This signal is not used as of this writing.
ADCFEDC: Photodiode DC Level.
Resistors R11, R12 and capacitor C14 form a voltage divider and low pass filter that
provide a measure of the mean DC level at the output of the photodiode amplifier IC4B
pin 7. This signal (IC12 pin 15) is used in determining ambient light interference. If this
line is examined while the sensor’s red and infrared LEDs are turned off, then any DC
level at IC4B pin 7 must be the result of ambient light impinging on the photodiode. If
the DC shift is in excess of limits set in the software, a Light Interference message
appears on the monitor’s display.
ADCLPWR: Sensor LED Supply Voltage.
This channel, at IC12 pin 12, monitors the sensor LED supply voltage through a voltage
divider consisting of R2 and R3 (sheet 3 on schematic). If a fault occurs that causes the
LED supply fuse F2 to blow, or if the sensor wires are shorted, this channel reports the
condition and the monitor will indicate the appropriate error condition.
ADCIRLED: Infrared LED Cathode Voltage.
A low pass filter/divider consisting of R17, R18 and C24 provides a means to measure
the cathode voltage of the sensor’s Infrared LED. When the channel at IC12 pin 5 is
sampled the monitor can determine if the LED is open circuit (zero volts at IC12 pin 5)
or operational (approximately 2.5 volts at IC12 pin 5).
ADCRDLED: Red LED Cathode Voltage.
A low pass filter/divider consisting of R15, R16, and C23 provides a means to measure
the cathode voltage of the sensor’s Red LED. When the channel at IC12 pin 4 is
sampled the monitor can determine if the LED is open circuit (zero volts at IC12 pin 4)
or operational (approximately 2.5 volts at IC12 pin 4).

Refer to page 1 on schematic. The Model 509 is controlled by IC14, an 8 bit
microprocessor running at 6.144 MHz. Crystal Y1 (12.288 MHz) controls the operating
frequency, system address lines are labelled as A0-A17, and system data lines are
labelled D0-D7.

4.1.10 Processor Superviso
Refer to page 1 on schematic. A microprocessor supervisory integrated circuit, IC29
monitors the power supply, generates the Reset signals, and switches the power
supply to the SRAM over to battery on power down. The WDOG line under control of
the processor must be toggled before a specific time-out occurs (1.6 seconds)
otherwise the RESET
Therefore, the processor toggles the WDOG line periodically to avoid the reset which
ensures that the processor is working and not lost in a loop or task. If the VDD supply
drops below a certain level (4.65V) the RESET

4.1.11 Front End Timing Signals
Refer to page 3 on schematic. A 14 stage divider IC27, acts as a timing sequencer. The
ADCCLK input is the clock input, the RESET line is the clear input, used for clearing
the chip at power up. The Q4-Q11 outputs of IC27 are divided down from the clock input
and feed IC28, the data sampling controller. The Q14 output of IC27 is used as an
interrupt that is generated roughly every 5 milliseconds (INT5MS).
The data sampling controller IC28 is a Programmable Electrically Erasable Logic
device (PEEL). The PEEL uses the outputs from IC27 and generates the front end
timing signals. These signals control the sensor LED drive and the photodiode’s return
path circuitry during normal operation and calibration.
The RESET and SC1 lines control when the outputs of IC28 are active, both these lines
must be low in order for IC28 to operate normally. The RESET line controls IC28 during

4.1.12 System Output Ports
Refer to page 1 on schematic. There are two output latch chips IC15 and IC16, these
control various lines for system control. The first port IC16, enabled when PORT1WR
is high, controls the CSIO PEEL IC26, the analog multiplexor IC12, and selection of the
A/D converters. The second port IC15, enabled by the PORT2WR line, handles control
line ADCSLP
The output ports are selected by the decoding performed by IC19, IC20 & IC21 and the
line. The signals controlled by the ports are listed below with a brief description of
