  • +MAXM86161EVSYS#: FAQ

What are the main differences between the MAXM86161 and the MAX86160?

The main difference between the MAXM86161 and the MAX86160 is that the MAXM86161 has SpO2 measurement capabilities, and therefore a red LED integrated also. Both parts have green and IR LEDs. Apart from that, the MAXM86161 requires just a single supply where the MAX86160 requires supplies for both the LEDs and the IC input.
