General Description

The MAX1491/MAX1493/MAX1495 low-power, 3.5- and
4.5-digit, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with inte-
grated liquid crystal display (LCD) drivers operate from a
single 2.7V to 5.25V power supply. They include an inter-
nal reference, a high-accuracy on-chip oscillator, and a
triplexed LCD driver. An internal charge pump generates
the negative supply needed to power the integrated input
buffer for single supply operation. The ADC is config-
urable for either a ±2V or ±200mV input range and it out-
puts its conversion results to an LCD. The MAX1491 is a
3.5-digit (±1999 count) device, and the MAX1493/
MAX1495 are 4.5-digit (±19,999 count) devices.

The MAX1491/MAX1493/MAX1495 do not require exter-
nal-precision integrating or auto-zero 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 differential signal and reference inputs, allowing
direct interface with high-impedance signal sources. In
addition, the MAX1491/MAX1493/MAX1495 use continu-
ous internal offset calibration, and offer >100dB rejec-
tion of 50Hz and 60Hz line noise. The MAX1493/
MAX1495 perform enhanced offset calibration at power-
up. The MAX1495 also performs enhanced calibration
on demand. Other features include data hold and peak
hold, and a user programmable low-battery monitor.

The MAX1493/MAX1495 come in a 32-pin 7mm

7mm

TQFP package, and the MAX1491 comes in 28-pin
SSOP and 28-pin DIP packages. All devices in this fam-
ily operate over the 0°C to +70°C commercial tempera-
ture range.
