ams OSRAM introduces with the AS705x series its first pure IC family of vital sign sensors. The first generation of biosignal converting units from ams OSRAM offers manufacturers maximum flexibility, a highly customized optical front end in combination with a power-saving design and small form factor making it ideal for applications where board space is limited, such as hearables, smartwatches or smart patches.

The AS7050 is the first biosignal sensor in the new product family from ams OSRAM, which allows the end user to capture biosignals such as heart rate measurement (HRM) and galvanic skin resistance (GSR). Thanks to two ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) channels and embedded ECG low noise analog front end, the AS7050 can perform photoplethysmogram (PPG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements simultaneously. Customers who require an even smaller optical set-up and have no need for an ECG can opt for the AS7056 or the AS7057 family members (more info).
