Working Principle

The MAX30100 uses red and infrared light to detect changes in light absorption caused by blood flow through the finger or other suitable measurement area.

The photodetector receives the reflected light and the sensor’s analog signal-processing circuitry analyzes the changes in the received signal. These measurements can be processed to determine heart rate and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2).

The resulting sensor data is communicated to the connected microcontroller through the I2C interface.
