Q-1 In solid state photoplethysmography, LED requires forward current of
15mA. PT passes maximum current of 150micro Amperes Calculate the
following values. Circuit for the solid state photoplethysmography device is
shown in figure.
a-R1
b-R2
c-R3

Data:
LED requires forward current = 15milli Amperes
PT passes maximum current = 150micro Amperes

To Find
a- R1= ?

b- R2= ?

c- R3= ?

Solution:
Ohm law will be used to calculate the R1
V =I R1
V
= R1
I
 15 V
=R
I 5 mA 1

R1=100 0 ohm.

Ohm law will be used to calculate the R2

V =I R2
V
= R2
I
15 V
=R
I 50 m A 1

R2=100 0 kilo ohm.

RLC law will be used to calculate the R3

1
=R
2(3.14)F C 3
1
=R
2(3.14)(0.05)(2 micro ohm) 3

R3=1.6 microO hm.

Q-2 Why PPG devices are placed at the right hand side of new born babies?
Ans: PPG devices are placed at the right hand side of new born babies because:
 Congenital complex or duct dependent heart disease.
 Persistent pulmonary hypertension in infants.
