SAN JOSE, Calif. and
TOKYO, March 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxim
Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM) today announced that its
MAX30101 heart-rate sensor is integrated into the new Raku Raku
Smartphone F-01L from Fujitsu Connected Technologies Limited. The
smartphone, which measures heart rate and sleep patterns, can be
used for applications such as pedometers. With the MAX30101, the
smartphone can also measure stress levels and arterial aging (the
aging of blood vessels). A popular series for seniors, the Raku
Raku Smartphone F-01L has been designed so that even those who are
using a smartphone for the first time can use it comfortably.

The MAX30101 enables accurate measurements of vital signs using
sophisticated algorithms* produced by Fujitsu Connected
Technologies. It is part of Maxim's family of biosensor products
for health-related use cases. By integrating various functions, the
module provides a complete system solution to ease the design-in
process for mobile and wearable devices. In addition, it operates
on a single 1.8V power supply and a separate 5.0V power supply for
the internal LEDs. The module can be shut down through software
with near-zero standby current, allowing the power rails to remain
powered at all times. Communication is through a standard
I2C-compatible interface, and it operates over the
-40-degree Celsius to +85-degree Celsius temperature range.
*Algorithms integrated into F-01L enable heart-rate
monitoring only; pulse oximetry is not enabled
MAX30101 Key Advantages
- Small Size: Available in a tiny (5.6mm × 3.3mm × 1.55mm) 14-pin
optical module
- Low Power: Programmable sample rate and LED current provide
ultra-low-power operation for mobile devices (< 1mW) and
ultra-low shutdown current (0.7μA, typical)
- Ease of Design: Easy implementation due to the integration of
internal LEDs, photodetectors, optical elements and low-noise
electronics with ambient light rejection
