MikroElektronika Heart Rate Sensor MikroBus Click Board MCP609 MAX6106 MIKROE-2455

The MikroElektronika MIKROE-2455 Heart Rate Sensor MikroBus Click Board is an advanced sensor development tool designed for electrocardiogram (ECG) measurement applications. It integrates MCP609 operational amplifier and MAX6106 voltage reference IC to provide accurate and noise-filtered heart rate signals. The ECG Click board is designed to fit the popular mikroBUS™ socket, allowing seamless plug-in connectivity without hardware configuration complexities.

The board features a comprehensive 7-block design including protection circuits, a preamplifier stage, high-pass filters, amplifier, low-pass filter, and a Driven Right Leg (DRL) circuit. Gain adjustment is provided via a trimmer potentiometer, and jumpers enable setting of the output voltage range to suit different MCU input requirements. It operates on a 5 V power supply and provides analogue output through the mikroBUS™ AN pin.

This sensor board requires connection of three electrodes via a 3.5 mm jack to measure the electrical activity of the heart through the skin. It filters and amplifies these signals to produce clear ECG data, making it suitable for use in both laboratory and development environments. The click board is compatible with MikroElektronika's free MikroPlot software for real-time ECG data visualisation and analysis.

Designed primarily for embedded systems and MCU-based platforms with a minimum 10-bit ADC resolution, it offers robust ESD, overvoltage, and overcurrent protections ensuring reliable operation in various industrial, laboratory, and educational applications. Coming with the header strips pre-soldered, the board is ready for immediate integration and development.

Electrodes and connecting cables are not included in the base package; however, MikroElektronika offers a kit version (MIKROE-2458) that includes electrodes and cables for complete ECG measurement setups.

Fits mikroBUS™ socket for easy plug-in integration. 7-block design including protection, preamplifier, filters, amplifier, and DRL circuit. Adjustable gain via trimmer potentiometer. Operates at 5 V with analogue output on mikroBUS™ AN pin.

Includes ESD, overvoltage, and overcurrent protection. Compatible with MikroPlot software for ECG visualization. Requires MCU with minimum 10-bit ADC resolution. Header strips soldered for ready use.

This sensor development board is ideal for use in industrial instrumentation, laboratory research, biomedical prototyping, STEM education, and embedded systems development requiring heart rate monitoring capabilities. It enables engineers and developers to rapidly integrate ECG sensing into their projects with minimal hardware setup.
