MAX32674C and MAX86178

Category: Hardware
Product Number: MAX32674C

Hello ADI Team,

I’m reviewing the architecture of the EVAL-STUDYWATCH45Z reference design and wanted to confirm a few points before moving forward with a custom implementation:

  1. Compatibility Confirmation:
    Can you confirm if the MAX32674C Sensor Hub is directly compatible with the MAX86178 AFE, as suggested in the STUDYWATCH45Z reference design? Are any specific firmware or integration considerations needed for this pairing?

  2. Sensor Flexibility Questions:
    If MAX86178 is compatible with MAX32674C:

    - Am I free to use custom PPG LEDs (e.g., different OSRAM models)?

    - Can I integrate my own 3-axis accelerometer, or is the MAX32674C firmware limited to specific accelerometers?

    - Can I configure the system with a custom number of photodiodes, or are those hard-coded in the supported configuration?

The documentation isn’t entirely clear on how flexible the MAX32674C Sensor Hub is with regard to peripheral components and customization of sensor configurations.

Looking forward to your clarification.

Best regards,
Johan Rocher
