3.5- and 4.5-Digit, Single-Chip ADCs
with LED Drivers
General Description
The MAX1447/MAX1496/MAX1498 low-power, 3.5- and
4.5-digit, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with inte-
grated light-emitting diode (LED) drivers operate from a
single 2.7V to 5.25V power supply. They include an
internal reference, a high-accuracy on-chip oscillator,
and a multiplexed LED display driver. An internal charge
pump generates the negative supply needed to power
the integrated input buffers for single-supply operation.
The ADC is configurable for either a ±2V or ±200mV
input range and it outputs its conversion results to an
LED. The MAX1496 is a 3.5-digit (±1999 count) device
and the MAX1447/MAX1498 are 4.5-digit (±19,999
count) devices.
The MAX1447/MAX1496/MAX1498 do not require exter-
nal precision integrating capacitors, autozero capaci-
tors, crystal oscillators, charge pumps, or other circuitry
required with dual-slope ADCs (commonly used in
panel meter circuits).
These devices also feature on-chip buffers for the dif-
ferential signal and reference input, allowing direct
interface with high-impedance signal sources. In addi-
tion, they use continuous internal offset-calibration and
offer >100dB rejection of 50Hz and 60Hz line noise.
Other features include data hold and peak detection
and overrange/underrange detection. The MAX1447
features on-demand enhanced offset calibration for
improved offset performance.
The MAX1447/MAX1498 are available in a 32-pin, 7mm
✕
7mm TQFP package and the MAX1496 is available in
28-pin SSOP and 28-pin PDIP packages. All devices in
this family operate over the -40°C to +85°C extended
temperature range.

Integral nonlinearity is the deviation of the analog value at any code from its theoretical value after nulling the gain error and
offset error.
Note 2:
Offset calibrated.
Note 3:
Offset nulled.
Note 4:
Drift error is eliminated by recalibration at the new temperature.
Note 5:
The input voltage range for the analog inputs is given with respect to the voltage on the negative input of the differential pair.

Note 7:
Power-supply currents are measured with all digital inputs at either GND or DV

.
Note 8:
Measured at DC by changing the power-supply voltage from 2.7V to 5.25V and measuring the effect on the conversion
error with external reference. PSRR at 50Hz and 60Hz exceeds 120dB with filter notches at 50Hz and 60Hz (Figure 2).
Note 9:
LED drivers are disabled.
