CW DOSI Probe for Cancer Monitoring

The proposed probe contains six pairs of LEDs, one photo-detector assembly and drive electronics. Each of the 12 LEDs may be selected individually, with external drive current controlling the output intensity.

The LED pairs are arranged in a circle with a 25.4mm radius, with the photodiode assembly in the center.

A single flexible, multi-conductor cable provides power and control. The HDMI cable seems like a reasonable off-the-shelf solution (with mini-HDMI type C connector on the probe)

Initial (Rigid PCB) Design

Revised (Flex PCB) Design

Notes:

  1. The 74HCT154 is attractive because of the very small package, but has active-low logic outputs. This requires a small change in the schematic. The control interface should be unchanged. Alternatively, the 4514 decoder is available in a TSSOP24 package which is about 7mm x 8mm
