Hello Folks,
I am working on a project intended to convert an analog ECG signal to a voltage
proportional the heart rate,
The actual electrodes instrumentation amp is pretty much working fine so no
worries there.
The problem is, and here is where the relationship to time nut comes in.

Hi
The first layer to the onion is that the ECG signal is a bit complex. There's
also likely to be a bit of this and that on it.
How about taking the output of the instrument amp into the A/D port on a cheap
PIC? That would let you do some AGC and dynamic filtering. At even a modest
sample ra

Paul,
I use a picPET (http://leapsecond.com/pic/) to measure heart rate and
stability; the original 1PPS... The idea is simply to time-stamp every beat
and then convert that raw data to rate or period or moving average rate, etc.

The most straightforward method these days would be a small
microcontroller implementing a pulse width modulation digital to
analog converter.
The analog route is pretty easy though. A traditional charge or
current pump can operate down to 30 Hz but will have an output ripple
versus settling time

Good morning Paul,
First: I almost spilled my coffe as you bear a similar last name as a
guy at a national research lab who does exactly such things :)
Even when it makes your ECG preamplifier free for other things, I advise
you to use another sensor and put a lot of decoding and interpretation

Just a warning, fro
If you only need cardiac pulse rate, an optical pulse-oximeter type
interface - but without the oximetry part - would be much simpler than
an ECG system, and it doesn't need galvanic connection. If you need more
than that, then ECG methods should suffice.
Back in the 1970s, there was a lot of

Hi
Actually I have the 70's beat by a decade in terms of playing with home made
ECG gear….

Another thing they do in the rate algorithms is make sure each beat falls in
accordance with the previous 3 or 4 beats.
