SE-3 3-Channel Electrocardiograph Service Manual
-11-
This module is a 12-channel ECG signal sampling and processing module. It can realize the
amplification and pre-processing of patient ECG signal in every channel, and the detection of
lead situations, as well as sending data to ARM9 MCU. This module is connected to ARM9MCU
through UART port.
The standard 12-lead electrocardiograph has 10 lead cables, including 9 lead signal input and 1
Right Foot electrode as the float ground. The ECG signals pass through the defibrillator
protection circuit, buffering circuit (U1~U3), and enter the difference amplifier circuit. And then
they continue to pass through the pacemaker pulse restraining, high-pass filter, low-pass filter,
channel switch, second level amplification, and are sent to the A/D sampling port of
MSP430F147.
Because the ECG system must meet the safety requirement of the photo-electricity isolation, the
serial signals will be sent to the photo-electricity component.
3.4.2 Main control part description

The system uses ARM9 (S3C2410) (U1) as the control MCU, and the peripheral equipments are
connected to the MCU ports. The MCU controls the peripheral equipments by several kinds of
methods. The system expands 64M external SDRAM (U6, U7), 64M FLASH (U2), LAN
