MAX1492/MAX1494
The MAX1492/MAX1494 low-power, 3.5- and 4.5-digit,
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with integrated liquid
crystal display (LCD) drivers operate from a single 2.7V
to 5.25V power supply. They include an internal refer-
ence, a high-accuracy on-chip oscillator, and a triplexed
LCD driver. An internal charge pump generates the neg-
ative supply needed to power the integrated input buffer
for single-supply operation. The ADC is configurable for
either a ±2V or ±200mV input range and outputs its con-
version results to an LCD and/or to a microcontroller
(µC). µC communication is facilitated through an
SPI™-/QSPI™-/MICROWIRE™-compatible serial inter-
face. The MAX1492 is a 3.5-digit (±1999 count) device,
and the MAX1494 is a 4.5-digit (±19,999 count) device.
The MAX1492/MAX1494 do not require external-preci-
sion integrating capacitors, autozero capacitors, 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 inputs, allowing direct
interface with high-impedance signal sources. In addi-
tion, they use continuous internal-offset calibration and
offer >100dB simultaneous rejection of 50Hz and 60Hz
line noise. Other features include data hold and peak
hold, overrange and underrange detection, and a low-
battery monitor.
The MAX1494 comes in a 32-pin, 7mm x 7mm TQFP
package, and the MAX1492 comes in 28-pin SSOP and
28-pin PDIP packages. All devices in this family operate
over the 0°C to +70°C commercial 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. See the
OFFSET_CAL1
and
OFFSET_CAL2
sections in the
On-Chip Registers
section.
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 6:
V
AIN+
or V
AIN-
= -2.2V to +2.2V. V
REF+
or V
REF-
= -2.2V to +2.2V. All input structures are identical. Production tested on
AIN+ and REF+ only.
Note 7:
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 8:
CLK and SCLK are idle.
Note 9:
Power-supply currents are measured with all digital inputs at either GND or DV
DD
and with the device in internal clock mode.
Note 10:
All input signals are specified with t
RISE
= t
FALL
= 5ns (10% to 90% of DV
DD
) and are timed from a voltage level of 50% of
DV
DD
, unless otherwise noted.
Note 11:
See the serial-interface timing diagrams.
