Working Principles

The ADS1291IPBS operates by first amplifying the weak biopotential signals using a low-noise amplifier (LNA). The amplified signals are then passed through a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) to adjust the gain level. On-chip filters remove unwanted noise and interference from the signals. The digitized and conditioned signals are then transmitted to an external microcontroller via the SPI interface for further processing and analysis.
