ROHM's BH1792GLC is an optical sensor for heart rate monitoring that includes photodetectors and drivers to power green and IR LEDs. Heart rate is calculated by detecting the amount of green light that is reflected from the body. LED brightness can be adjusted via the LED driver current. The built-in photodiode has high sensitivity to green light, and excellent wavelength selectivity enables accurate pulse wave detection.
