I want to read PPG signal using TCRT5000
@copilot I want to read PPG signal using TCRT5000

To read a Photoplethysmography (PPG) signal using the TCRT5000, you will need to set up a circuit that can properly detect the reflected IR light from your skin, convert it to a suitable signal, and then amplify that signal for further processing.
Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Component Connections:

    • LED Driver: Connect a current-limiting resistor to the IR emitter anode $A$ and then to a power source.
    • Phototransistor Output: Connect the collector $C$ of the phototransistor to a pull-up resistor and then to the power source. The emitter $E$ of the phototransistor should be connected to the ground.
  2. Amplification: Since the signal from the phototransistor might be weak, you should amplify it using an operational amplifier (Op-Amp) in a transimpedance configuration.
  3. Filtering: Use a band-pass filter to remove noise and focus on the specific frequency range typically associated with the PPG signal (around 0.5 Hz to 4 Hz).
  4. Analog-to-Digital Conversion (ADC): Finally, use an ADC to convert the analog PPG signal to a digital signal that can be processed by a microcontroller or a signal processor.
Here are the detailed steps with connections:
Step 1: Connect the TCRT5000

  • IR Emitter $A$:

    • Connect $A$:1 to a current-limiting resistor (let’s assume 220Ω).
    • Connect the other end of the resistor to the power supply (Vcc, typically 5V).
  • Phototransistor $C$ and $E$:

    • Connect $C$:1 to the collector of the phototransistor.
    • Connect a pull-up resistor (let’s assume 10kΩ) to the collector $C$:1, and the other end of the resistor to Vcc.
    • Connect $E$:1 (emitter) to the ground (GND).
Step 2: Amplify the Signal

  • Use an Op-Amp like the LM358 or any suitable low-noise Op-Amp.
  • Connect the collector of the phototransistor to the inverting input (-) of the Op-Amp.
  • Connect a feedback resistor (let's assume 100kΩ) between the Op-Amp output and the inverting input.
  • The non-inverting input (+) of the Op-Amp goes to a reference voltage (GND or Vcc/2).
Step 3: Filter the Signal

  • Use a band-pass filter designed around your specific PPG frequency range.
  • For example, you can use RC filters or active filters with Op-Amps to achieve this.
Step 4: A/D Conversion

  • Connect the filtered signal to an ADC input pin on your microcontroller (e.g., ESP32-WROOM-32).
  • Ensure proper grounding and power supply connections.
Example Circuit Diagram: IR Emitter:

  • Connect $A$ (Pin 1): Resistor (220Ω) -> Vcc (5V).
Phototransistor:

  • Connect $C$ (Pin 1): Pull-up Resistor (10kΩ) -> Vcc (5V).
  • Connect $E$ (Pin 1): Ground (GND).
Op-Amp Setup:

  • Connect Collector $C$ of Phototransistor -> Inverting Input (-) of Op-Amp.
  • Connect Emitter $E$ of Phototransistor -> Ground (GND).
  • Connect Feedback Resistor (100kΩ) between Output and Inverting Input (-) of Op-Amp.
  • Connect Non-inverting Input (+) of Op-Amp -> Reference voltage (usually GND or Vcc/2).

Hey, I’m Copilot, your AI design assistant. I can help you brainstorm ideas, debug problems, research components, and even make wiring connections for you. Ask me questions like:

  • @copilot I'm designing a PCB for a medical device that measures heart rate and temperature. Can you give me the list of components I will need?
  • @copilot How would I connect these parts to make the LED flash at 1kHz?
  • @copilot can you choose 4 digital pins on the ATMega328P-AU that I have here to use as GPIO given that I am already using some pins for reset, the external clock, UART, and I2C.
Chat with me by tagging @copilot on comments or in the chat.
