The MAX1491/MAX1493/MAX1495 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 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 configurable for either a ±2V or ±200mV input range and it outputs 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 external-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 continuous internal offset calibration, and offer >100dB rejection 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 x 7mm TQFP package, and the MAX1491 comes in 28-pin SSOP and 28-pin DIP packages. All devices in this family operate over the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range.

Product Detail

The MAX1493 is a low-power, 4.5-digit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated liquid-crystal display (LCD) drivers.

The MAX1493 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven printed-circuit board (PCB) layout to facilitate evaluation of the MAX1493 IC. Connect the 4V to 28V DC and ground return to terminal block TB1 (see Figure 1 in the full data sheet).

The EV kit is not a complete digital voltmeter (DVM); additional input scaling and protection circuitry might be required.

This EV kit can also evaluate the MAX1495CCJ+. Contact the factory for free samples. See the Evaluating the MAX1495 section in the full data sheet for additional information.

Applications

  • Digital Multimeters
  • Digital Panel Meters
  • Digital Voltmeters
  • Handheld meters
