Accelerate Wearables Development with Industry's First Reference Design for Galvanic Skin ResponseSAN JOSE, Calif., May 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Wearables developers can now immediately evaluate galvanic skin response (GSR) sensing with the MAXREFDES73# reference design from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM).
Applying GSR (measurement of skin's conductivity) is a challenge because designers need to manipulate several discrete chips and calibration software before completing the sensor design. The MAXREFDES73# integrates digital-to-analog (DAC) and analog-to-digital (ADC) converters, a microcontroller with advanced power management, firmware, and an easy-to-use Android® app into the industry's first GSR reference design. Now designers of wearables can save development and testing time, and quickly bring their mobile medical and fitness products to market. Offered in a wristband form factor, the MAXREFDES73# includes body surface temperature readings, Bluetooth® communications, and a rechargeable battery that lasts up to one week on a single charge.
