Description
The PS25012A3 and PS25012B3 are single and
dual
channel
application
boards
for
the
demonstration of the Plessey PS25203 electric
potential sensor.
The PS25203 electric potential sensors on these
boards allow the measurement of a wide range of
electric potential sources from electrophysiological
signals through to spatial electric field. The sensors
incorporate a DC block feature that allows the DC
component of an applied signal to be rejected while
maintaining good low frequency response. The
electrode surface of the detector is passivated with a
thin dielectric that allows the direct application to a
test surface. In the case of contact with skin there is
no need for electrically conductive gel.
The PS25203 sensor demonstrated on these boards
is an integrated assembly designed for surface
mount assembly on a motherboard.
The application boards provide the regulated +2.5V
and generated -2.5V supplies that are used to
operate the sensor. This allows the boards to
demonstrate the sensors from a wide, single sided,
power supply voltage while the output of the sensor
can cover the range ±2.1V.
The boards are
connected by a high reliability five pin connector.
Two single channel PS25012A3 boards or a dual
channel PS25012B3 board may be used to generate
a differential signal. A typical example is shown in
Figure 3 below:

Electrical Characteristics
These electrical characteristics apply to the PS25012A3 and PS25012B3 application boards that carry the PS25203
sensors. The electrical characteristics (@25ºC) are guaranteed by either production test or by design and
characterisation. They apply within the specified supply voltage unless otherwise stated.

Electrical Connector
The PS25012A3 and PS25012B3 application boards are fitted with one or two five pin sockets. The connectivity of
these sockets is shown below:

Not used
The supply and ground connections of the two sockets on the dual channel PS25012B3 board are connected in
parallel so that the board will be active with either one or both connectors in use. However, when both sockets are
powered the supplied voltages must be identical.
Auxiliary Components
PS25000A
Control and Interface Box; 50Hz.
This box provides power for one or two sensors. It incorporates switchable low pass and 50Hz notch
filters. The box contains an amplifier with switchable gain of either x1 or x10. The box also generates
a differential signal from two sensors. The box incorporates a data acquisition card that provides the
data from the sensors via a USB cable to a computer. The box is powered by the USB connection. A
soft scope is provided with this box for display of the signals on a computer.
Control and Interface Box; 60Hz.
This box is identical to the PS25000A except that the switchable notch filter is preset to reject 60Hz.
Adapter cable.
This 1.5m long cable connects the sockets of the PS25012A3 and PS25012B3 application boards to
the PS25000A or PS25001A Control and Interface Box.
