The MAX71020 is a single-chip analog front-end (AFE)
for use in high-performance revenue meters. It contains
the compute engine (CE) found in Maxim Integrated’s
fourth-generation meter system-on-chip (SoC) and an
improved analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and inter-
faces to the host controller of choice over a SPI interface.
The MAX71020 comes in a 28-pin TSSOP package.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional opera-
tion of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
