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 non-
isolated side. The transformer transfers power from the non-isolated side
to the isolated side.
The circuitry on the non-isolated section processes, analyses and
interprets digitized ECG data. The non-isolated section interfaces with
the keyboard, display and thermal printer.

2036039-001
Equipment Overview
The MAC 400 system can print only when the battery is connected to the
device. With a fully charged battery (8.3-8.4V), approximately 100 ECGs
can be recorded in auto mode.
NOTE
If the device cannot produce at least fifty ten-second ECG reports
sequentially on a fully charged battery, we recommend replacing the
battery. For instructions on replacing the battery, see “Replacing the
battery” on page 3-12.
Main PCB assembly

The MAC 400 system’s main PCB assembly contains all the circuitry for
the device except the power supply line, battery, thermal printer,
keyboard and display. The circuitry can be grouped by functionality.
Voltage supply and monitoring

The device requires several regulated voltages for operation of its various
components. Voltage supply and monitoring includes on/off electronics,
5V DC-DC converter, +3.3V LDO and battery charger.
On/off electronics turn the device power on and off. The input voltage
monitoring circuit monitors the battery voltage. A yellow LED on the
keyboard indicates when it falls below 6.8V +/- 2%. If the voltage falls
below 6.3V +/- 2%, the unit turns off automatically.
The output of the power supply is connected to an SMD2016 polyfuse

resettable 1.5A fuse for over-current protection.
A Lithium-Ion charge management IC charges the battery when the

device is connected to mains. +12V is the input to the battery charger.
LED DS1 and DS2 (shown in the component view in the following
graphic) as outlined in “Table 2-6: Charging conditions” on page 2-10

CPU Motorola MC68832

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
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.
Real-time clock (RTC)

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

2036039-001
Equipment Overview
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, battery and paper error conditions.
The beep sounds once for every QRS peak detected when the heart
rate is within the specified limits.
NOTE
Pressing the QRS beep key disables the audible tone. Turning off the
QRS beep in configuration settings also disables the audible tone for
QRS complex.
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: the green LED indicates that the
system is connected to active mains. The yellow LED indicates that the
battery voltage is below 6.8V +/- 2%.
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.

2036039-001
Equipment Overview
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 non-isolated 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
Voltage reference
DSP
Serial EEPROM

2036039-001
Equipment Overview
Clocks
Opto-couplers
Transformer
+5V_ISO
+3.3V_ISO
+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. The IEC convention is followed
in naming the leads: LL, LA, RA, RL, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5 and V6. 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.

a
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radio, AM and
FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due
to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the
equipment is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the equipment should be observed to verify normal operation. If
abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the equipment.
b
Over the frequency range 150 KHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
Recommended separation distance

The following table provides the recommended separation distances (in
meters) between portable and mobile RF communication equipment and
the MAC 400 system. The MAC 400 system is intended for use in the
electromagnetic environment on which radiated RF disturbances are
controlled. The customer or the user of the MAC 400 system can help
prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum
distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment
(transmitters) and the MAC 400 system as recommended below,
according to the maximum output power of the communications
equipment.
