General Description
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 ADCs are configurable
for either a ±2V or ±200mV input range and outputs its
conversion 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 LQFP
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.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation 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.
