General Description
The MAX1452 is a highly integrated analog-sensor sig-
nal processor optimized for industrial and process con-
trol applications utilizing resistive element sensors. The
MAX1452 provides amplification, calibration, and tem-
perature compensation that enables an overall perfor-
mance approaching the inherent repeatability of the
sensor. The fully analog signal path introduces no quan-
tization noise in the output signal while enabling digitally
controlled trimming with the integrated 16-bit DACs.
Offset and span are calibrated using 16-bit DACs,
allowing sensor products to be truly interchangeable.
The MAX1452 architecture includes a programmable
sensor excitation, a 16-step programmable-gain ampli-
fier (PGA), a 768-byte (6144 bits) internal EEPROM,
four 16-bit DACs, an uncommitted op amp, and an on-
chip temperature sensor. In addition to offset and span
compensation, the MAX1452 provides a unique tem-
perature compensation strategy for offset TC and
FSOTC that was developed to provide a remarkable
degree of flexibility while minimizing testing costs.
The MAX1452 is packaged for the commercial, industri-
al, and automotive temperature ranges in 16-pin SSOP/
TSSOP and 24-pin TQFN packages.
Customization
Maxim can customize the MAX1452 for high-volume
dedicated applications. Using our dedicated cell library
of more than 2000 sensor-specific functional blocks,
Maxim can quickly provide a modified MAX1452 solu-
tion. Contact Maxim for further information.
