3.5- and 4.5-Digit, Single-Chip ADCs
with LCD Drivers
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 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 outputs its conversion results to an LCD and/or to a microcontroller
(µC). µC communication is facilitated through an
SPI™-/QSPI™-/MICROWIRE™-compatible serial interface. 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-precision 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 differential signal and reference inputs, allowing direct
interface with high-impedance signal sources. In addition, 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 lowbattery 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: VAIN+ or VAIN- = -2.2V to +2.2V. VREF+ or VREF- = -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 DVDD and with the device in internal clock mode.
Note 10: All input signals are specified with tRISE = tFALL = 5ns (10% to 90% of DVDD) and are timed from a voltage level of 50% of
DVDD, unless otherwise noted.
Note 11: See the serial-interface timing diagrams.

MAX1492/MAX1494
Pin Description (continued)
Detailed Description
The MAX1492/MAX1494 low-power, highly integrated
ADCs with LCD drivers convert a ±2V differential input
voltage (one count is equal to 100µV for the MAX1494
and 1mV for the MAX1492) with a sigma-delta ADC and
output the result to an LCD or µC. An additional
±200mV input range (one count is equal to 10µV for the
MAX1494 and 100µV for the MAX1492) is available to
measure small signals with increased resolution.
The devices operate from a single 2.7V to 5.25V power
supply and offer 3.5-digit (MAX1492) or 4.5-digit
(MAX1494) conversion results. An internal 2.048V reference, an internal charge pump, and a high-accuracy
on-chip oscillator eliminate external components.
The MAX1492 and MAX1494 interface with a µC using
an SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface.
Data can either be sent directly to the display or to the
µC first for processing before being displayed.
The devices also feature on-chip buffers for the differential input signal and external reference inputs, allowing
direct interface with high-impedance signal sources. In
addition, they use continuous internal-offset calibration
and offer >100dB of 50Hz and 60Hz line noise rejection. Other features include data hold and peak hold,
overrange and underrange detection, and a low-battery
monitor.
Analog Input Protection
Internal protection diodes limit the analog input range
from VNEG to (AVDD + 0.3V). If the analog input exceeds
this range, limit the input current to 10mA.
Internal Analog Input/Reference Buffers
The MAX1492/MAX1494 analog input/reference buffers
allow the use of high-impedance signal sources. The
input buffer’s common-mode input range allows the analog inputs and the reference to range from -2.2V to +2.2V.
Modulator
The MAX1492/MAX1494 perform analog-to-digital conversions using a single-bit, 3rd-order, sigma-delta modulator. The sigma-delta modulator converts the input
signal into a digital pulse train whose average duty
cycle represents the digitized signal information. The
modulator quantizes the input signal at a much higher
sample rate than the bandwidth of the input.
The MAX1492/MAX1494 modulator provides 3rd-order
frequency shaping of the quantization noise resulting
from the single-bit quantizer. The modulator is fully differential for maximum signal-to-noise ratio and minimum susceptibility to power-supply noise. A single-bit
data stream is then presented to the digital filter to
remove the frequency-shaped quantization noise.

Digital Filtering
The MAX1492/MAX1494 contain an on-chip digital lowpass filter that processes the data stream from the
modulator using a SINC 4 ((sinx/x) 4 ) response. The
SINC4 filter has a settling time of four output data periods (4 x 200ms).
The MAX1492/MAX1494 have 25% overrange capability
built into the modulator and digital filter.
The digital filter is optimized for fCLK equal to 4.9152MHz.
Lower clock frequencies can be used; however,
50Hz/60Hz noise rejection decreases. The frequency
response of the SINC4 filter is measured as follows:

Filter Characteristics
Figure 2 shows the filter frequency response. The
SINC4 characteristic -3dB cutoff frequency is 0.228
times the first-notch frequency (5Hz).
The output data rate for the digital filter corresponds
with the positioning of the first notch of the filter’s frequency response. The notches of the SINC4 filter are
repeated at multiples of the first-notch frequency. The
SINC 4 filter provides an attenuation of better than
100dB at these notches. For example, 50Hz is equal to

For large step changes at the input, allow a settling
time of 800ms before valid data is read.
Clock Modes
Configure the MAX1492/MAX1494 to use either the
internal oscillator or an externally applied clock to drive
the modulator and filter. Set the EXTCLK bit in the control register to 0 to put the device in internal clock mode.
Set the EXTCLK bit high to put the device in external
clock mode. Connect CLK to GND or DVDD when using
the internal oscillator. The MAX1492/MAX1494 ideally
operate with a 4.9152MHz clock to achieve maximum
rejection of 50Hz/60Hz common-mode, power-supply,
and normal-mode noise.
Internal Clock Mode
The MAX1492/MAX1494 contain an internal oscillator.
The power-up condition for the MAX1492/MAX1494 is
internal clock operation with the EXTCLK bit in the control register equal to 0. Using the internal oscillator
saves board space by removing the need for an external clock source.
External Clock Mode
For external clock operation, set the EXTCLK bit in the
control register high and drive CLK with a 4.9152MHz
clock source. Using an external clock allows for custom
conversion rates. A 2.4576MHz clock signal reduces
the conversion rate and the LCD update rate by a factor of two. The MAX1492/MAX1494 operate with an
external clock source of up to 5.05MHz.
Charge Pump
The MAX1492/MAX1494 contain an internal charge
pump to provide the negative supply voltage for the internal analog input/reference buffers. The bipolar input
range of the analog input/reference buffers allows this
device to accept negative inputs with high source impedances. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor from VNEG to GND.

(MAX1492) and 4.5-digit (MAX1494) LCDs. The LCD
update rate is 2.5Hz. Figures 4–7 show the connection
schemes for a standard LCD. The MAX1492/MAX1494
automatically display the results of the ADC, if desired.
The MAX1492/MAX1494 also allow independent control
of the LCD driver through the serial interface, allowing
for data processing of the ADC result before showing
the result on the LCD. Additionally, each LCD segment
can be individually controlled (see the LCD SegmentDisplay Register sections).
Triplexing
An internal resistor string comprised of three equalvalue resistors (52kΩ, 1% matching) is used to generate the display drive voltages. On the MAX1492, one
end of the string is connected to DVDD and the other
end is connected to GND. On the MAX1494, the other
end of the resistor string is connected to VDISP. Note
that VLCD should be three times the threshold voltage
for the liquid crystal material used (Figure 9).
The connection diagrams for a typical 7-segment display-font decimal point and annunciators are illustrated
in Figures 3 and 8. The MAX1494/MAX1492 numeric
display drivers (4.5 digits, 3.5 digits) use this configuration to drive a triplexed LCD with three backplanes and
13 segment-driver lines (10 for 3.5 digits). Figures 4

The voltage waveforms of the backplane lines and Y
segment line (Figure 3) have been chosen as an example. This line intersects with BP1 to form the a segment,
with BP2 to form the g segment, and with BP3 to form
the d segment. Eight different ON/OFF combinations of

the a, g, and d segments and their corresponding
waveforms of the Y segment line are illustrated in
Figures 9 and 10. The schematic diagram in Figure 8
shows each intersection as a capacitance from segment line to common line. Figure 11 illustrates the voltage across the g segment.
The RMS voltage across the segment determines the

thus the contrast of the segment. The RMS OFF voltage
is always VLCD / 3, whereas the RMS ON voltage is
always 1.92VLCD / 3. This is illustrated in Figure 11. The
ratio of RMS ON to RMS OFF voltage is fixed at 1.92 for
a triplexed LCD.
Figure 12 illustrates contrast vs. applied RMS voltage
with a VLCD of 3.1V. The RMS ON voltage is 2.1V, and
the RMS OFF voltage is 1.1V. The OFF segment has a
contrast of less than 5%, while the ON segments have
greater than 85% contrast.
If ghosting is present on the LCD, the RMS OFF voltage
is too high. Choose an LCD with a higher RMS OFF
voltage. Alternatively, lower the supply or apply a voltage on VDISP to lower the RMS OFF voltage.
Figures 9 and 10 show the voltage on the LCD’s BP_
inputs and the segment inputs during normal operation.

The MAX1492/MAX1494 allow for full decimal-point control and feature leading zero suppression. Use the
DP_EN, DPSET1, and DPSET2 bits in the control register
to set the value of the decimal point. Tables 2 and 3 show
the truth tables of the DP_EN, DPSET1, and DPSET2. The
truth tables determine decimal-point usage.

The MAX1492/MAX1494 overrange and underrange
display is shown in Table 4.
Reference
The MAX1492/MAX1494 reference sets the full-scale
range of the ADC transfer function. With a nominal
2.048V reference, the ADC full-scale range is ±2V with
the RANGE bit equal to 0. With the RANGE bit set to 1,
the full-scale range is ±200mV. A decreased reference
voltage decreases full-scale range (see the Transfer
Functions section).
The MAX1492/MAX1494 accept either an external reference or an internal reference. The INTREF bit selects
the reference mode (see the Control Register
(Read/Write) section).
For internal-reference operation, set INTREF to 1, connect REF- to GND and bypass REF+ to GND with a
4.7µF capacitor. The internal reference provides a nominal 2.048V source between REF+ and GND. The internal-reference temperature coefficient is typically
40ppm/°C.
The default power-on state sets the MAX1492/
MAX1494 to use the external reference with INTREF
cleared to 0. The external reference inputs, REF+ and
REF-, are fully differential. For a valid external-reference
input, VREF+ must be greater than VREF-. Bypass REF+
and REF- with a 0.1µF or greater capacitor to GND in
external-reference mode.

Serial Interface
The SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE serial interface consists of a
chip select (CS), a serial clock (SCLK), a data in (DIN),
a data out (DOUT), and an asynchronous EOC output.
EOC provides an asynchronous end-of-conversion signal with a period of 200ms (fCLK = 4.9152MHz or internal clock mode). The MAX1492 updates the data
register when EOC goes high. Data is valid in the ADC
result registers when EOC returns low. The serial interface provides access to 12 on-chip registers, allowing
control to all the power modes and functional blocks.
Table 5 lists the address and read/write accessibility of
all the registers.
A logic-high on CS tri-states DOUT and causes the
MAX1492/MAX1494 to ignore any signals on SCLK and
DIN. To clock data into or out of the internal shift register, drive CS low. SCLK synchronizes the data transfer.
The rising edge of SCLK clocks DIN into the shift register, and the falling edge of SCLK clocks DOUT out of
the shift register. DIN and DOUT are transferred MSBfirst (data is left justified). Figures 13–17 show the
detailed serial-interface timing diagrams for the 8- and
16-bit read/write operations.
All communication with the MAX1492/MAX1494 begins
with a command byte on DIN, where the first logic 1 on
DIN is recognized as the START bit (MSB) for the command byte. The following seven clock cycles load the
command into a shift register. These 7 bits specify
which of the registers are accessed next, and whether a
read or write operation takes place. Transitions on the
serial clock after the command byte transfer cause a
write or read from the device until the correct number of
bits have been transferred (8 or 16). Once this has
occurred, the MAX1492/MAX1494 wait for the next command byte. CS must not go high between data transfers. If CS is toggled before the end of a write or read
operation, the device mode may be unknown. Clock in
32 zeros to clear the device state and reset the interface
so it is ready to receive a new command byte.
On-Chip Registers
The MAX1492/MAX1494 contain 12 on-chip registers.
These registers configure the various functions of the
device and allow independent reading of the ADC
results and writing to the LCD. Table 5 lists the address
and size of each register.
The first of these registers is the status register. The 8-bit
status register contains the status flags for the ADC. The
second register is the 16-bit control register. This register
sets the LCD controls, range modes, power-down
modes, offset calibration, and the reset-register function
(CLR). The third register is the 16-bit overrange register,
which sets the overrange limit of the analog input. The
fourth register is the 16-bit underrange register, which
sets the underrange limit of the analog input. Registers 5
through 7 contain the display data for the individual segments of the LCD. The eighth register contains the custom offset value. The ninth register contains the 16 MSBs
of the ADC conversion result. The tenth register contains
the LCD data. The eleventh register contains the peak
analog input value. The last register contains the lower 4
LSBs of the 20-bit ADC conversion result.

1 in this location selects SPI/QSPI/
MICROWIRE data (the user writes this
data to the LCD data register). A 0 in
this location selects the ADC result
register data, unless hold or peak
functions are active (see Table 6).
(Default = 0) External Clock Select
Bit. The EXTCLK bit controls selection of the internal clock or an external clock source. A 1 in this location
selects the signal at the CLK input as
the clock source. A 0 in this location
selects the internal clock oscillator.
Toggle the PD_DIG and PD_ANA
after changing the EXTCLK bit.
(Default = 0) Reference Select Bit. For
internal reference operation, set
INTREF to 1. For external reference
operation, set INTREF to 0.
(Default = 0) Decimal-Point Enable
Bit. See Tables 2 and 3.
(Default = 00) Decimal-Point
Selection Bits. See Tables 2 and 3.
(Default = 0) Hold Bit. When set to 1,
the LCD register does not update
from the ADC conversion results and
holds the last result on the LCD. The
MAX1492/MAX1494 continue to perform conversions during HOLD (see
Table 6).
(Default = 0) Peak Bit. When set to 1
(and the HOLD bit is set to 0), the
LCD shows the result stored in the
peak register (see Table 6).
(Default = 0) Power-Down Analog
Select Bit. When set to 1, the analog
circuits (analog modulator and ADC
input buffers) go into the power-down
mode. When set to 0, the device is in
full power-up mode.
RANGE:
(Default = 0) Input-Range Select Bit.
When set to 0, the input voltage
range is ±2V. When set to 1, the input
voltage range is ±200mV. Toggle the
PD_DIG and PD_ANA after changing
the RANGE bit.
CLR:
(Default = 0) Clear-All-Registers Bit.
When set to 1, all the registers reset
to their power-on reset states when
CS makes a low-to-high transition.
(Default = 0) LCD Segment-Selection
Bit. When set to 1, the LCD segment
drivers use the LCD segment registers to display individual segments
that can form letters or numbers or
other information on the display. The
LCD data register is NOT displayed.
Send the data first to the LCD segment-display registers and then set
this bit high (see Table 6).
SEG_SEL:
OFFSET_CAL1: (Default = 0) Automatic-Offset Enable
Bit. When set to 1, the MAX1492/
MAX1494 disable automatic offset calibration. When this bit is set to 0, automatic offset calibration is enabled.
OFFSET_CAL2: (Default = 0) Enhanced OffsetCalibration Start Bit (MAX1494 Only
and RANGE = 1). To achieve the lowest possible offset in the ±200mV
input range, perform an enhanced
offset calibration by setting this bit to
1. The calibration takes about 9
cycles (1800ms). After the calibration
completes, set this bit to 0 to resume
ADC conversions.
Note: When changing any one of the following control
bits: OFFSET_CAL1, RANGE, PD_ANA, PD_DIG,
INTREF, and EXTCLK, wait 800ms before reading the
ADC results.
(Default = 0) Power-Down Digital
Select Bit. When set to 1, the digital
circuits (digital filter and LCD drivers)
go into power-down mode. This also
resets the values of the internal
SRAM (in the digital filter) to zeros.
When set to 0, the device returns to
full power-up mode.

LCD Data Register (Read/Write):
MAX1492/MAX1494
3.5- and 4.5-Digit, Single-Chip ADCs
with LCD Drivers
Power-On Reset
Strain Gauge Measurement
At power-up, the serial interface, LCD driver, digital filter, and modulator circuits reset. The registers return to
their default values. Allow time for the reference to settle before starting calibration.
Connect the differential inputs of the MAX1492/
MAX1494 to the bridge network of the strain gauge. In
Figure 20, the analog supply voltage powers the bridge
network and the MAX1492/MAX1494 along with the reference voltage. The MAX1492/MAX1494 handle an
analog input-voltage range of ±200mV and ±2V full
scale. The analog/reference inputs of the parts allow
the analog input range to have an absolute value of
anywhere between -2.2V and +2.2V.
Offset Calibration
The MAX1492/MAX1494 offer on-chip offset calibration.
The device offset-calibrates during every conversion
when the OFFSET_CAL1 bit is 0. Enhanced offset calibration is only needed in the MAX1494 when RANGE = 1.
It is performed on demand by setting the OFFSET_CAL2
bit to 1.
Power-Down Modes
The MAX1492/MAX1494 feature independent powerdown control of the analog and digital circuitry. Writing a
1 to the PD_DIG and PD_ANA bits in the control register
powers down the analog and digital circuitry, reducing
the supply current to 400µA. PD_DIG powers down the
digital filter and LCD drivers, while PD_ANA powers
down the analog modulator and ADC input buffers.
VDISP LCD Compensation (MAX1494 Only)
Adequate display contrast can be obtained in most
applications by connecting VDISP to GND. In applications where a wide temperature range is expected, the
voltage levels for some triplexed LCDs may need to vary
with temperature to maintain good display contrast and
viewing angle. The amount of temperature compensation depends upon the type of liquid crystal used.
Display manufacturers usually specify the temperature
variation of the LCD thresholds voltage (RMS ON RMSOFF), which is approximately 1/3 of the peak display voltage. The peak display voltage is equal to DVDD
- VDISP (MAX1494 only). Therefore, a typical -4mV/°C
temperature coefficient of an LCD threshold corresponds to a +12mV/°C temperature coefficient at VDISP.
Peak
The MAX1492/MAX1494 feature peak-detection circuitry. When activated (PEAK bit = 1), the devices display
only the highest voltage measured to the LCD.
Hold
The MAX1492/MAX1494 feature data-hold circuitry.
When activated (HOLD bit = 1), the devices display the
current reading on the LCD.
Low Battery
The MAX1492/MAX1494 feature a low-battery detection
input. When the voltage at LOWBATT drops below
2.048V (typ), the LOWBATT bit of the status register goes
high and the LOWBATT segment of the LCD turns on.
28
Thermocouple Measurement
Figure 21 shows a connection from a thermocouple to
the MAX1492/MAX1494. In this application, the
MAX1492/MAX1494 take advantage of the on-chip input
buffers that allow large source impedances on the front
end. The decoupling capacitors reduce noise pickup
from the thermocouple leads. To place the differential
voltage from the thermocouple at a suitable commonmode voltage, the AIN- input of the MAX1492/MAX1494
is biased to GND. Use an external temperature sensor,
such as the DS75, and a µC to perform cold junctiontemperature compensation.
4–20mA Transmitter
Low-power, single-supply operations make the
MAX1492/MAX1494 ideal for loop-powered 4–20mA
transmitters. Loop-powered transmitters draw their
power from the 4–20mA loop, limiting the transmitter
circuitry to a current budget of 4mA. Tolerances in the
loop further limit this current budget to 3.5mA. Since
the MAX1492/MAX1494 only consume 950µA, a total of
2.55mA remains to power the remaining transmitter circuitry. Figure 22 shows a block diagram for a looppowered 4–20mA transmitter.
4–20mA Measurement
To measure 4–20mA signals, connect a shunt resistor
across AIN+ and AIN- to create the ±2V or ±200mV
input voltage (Figure 23).
Transfer Functions
Figures 24–27 show the transfer functions of the
MAX1492/MAX1494. The output data is stored in the
ADC data register in two’s complement.
A -1 in the ADC result register displays -0 on the LCD as
shown in Figures 24–27. Negative values on the LCD
are offset by 1. For example, -100 in the ADC result register appears as -99 on the LCD.
Supplies, Layout, and Bypassing
When using analog and digital supplies from the same
source, isolate the digital supply from the analog supply with a low-value resistor (10Ω) or ferrite bead. For

Avoid running digital lines under the device because
they can couple noise onto the device. Run the analog
ground plane under the MAX1492/MAX1494 to minimize coupling of digital noise. Make the power-supply
lines to the MAX1492/MAX1494 as wide as possible to
provide low-impedance paths and reduce the effects of
glitches on the power-supply line.
Shield fast-switching signals, such as clocks, with digital
ground to avoid radiating noise to other sections of the
board. Avoid running clock signals near the analog
inputs. Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals.
Running traces that are on opposite sides of the board at
right angles to each other reduces feedthrough effects.
Good decoupling is important when using high-resolution ADCs. Decouple the supplies with 0.1µF and 4.7µF
ceramic capacitors to GND. Place these components as
close to the device as possible to achieve the best
decoupling.
See the MAX1494 evaluation kit manual for the recommended layout. The evaluation kit includes a fully
assembled and tested evaluation board.
Definitions
INL
Integral nonlinearity (INL) is the deviation of the values
on an actual transfer function from a straight line. This
straight line is either a best-straight-line fit or a line
drawn between the endpoints of the transfer function,
once offset and gain errors have been nullified. INL for
the MAX1492/MAX1494 is measured using the endpoint method.
DNL
Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between
an actual step width and the ideal value of 1 LSB. A
DNL error specification of less than 1 LSB guarantees
no missing codes and a monotonic transfer function.
Rollover Error
Rollover error is defined as the absolute-value difference between a near positive full-scale reading and
near negative full-scale reading. Rollover error is tested
by applying a near full-scale positive voltage, swapping
AIN+ and AIN-, and then adding the results.
Zero Input Reading
Ideally, with AIN+ connected to AIN- the MAX1492/
MAX1494 LCD is 0 or -0. Zero input reading is the measured deviation from the ideal 0 and the actual measured point.
Gain Error
Gain error is the amount of deviation between the measured full-scale transition point and the ideal full-scale
transition point.
Common-Mode Rejection
Common-mode rejection (CMR) is the ability of a
device to reject a signal that is common to both input
terminals. The common-mode signal can be either an
AC or a DC signal or a combination of the two. CMR is
often expressed in decibels.
Normal-Mode 50Hz and 60Hz Rejection
(Simultaneously)
Normal-mode rejection is a measure of how much output changes when a 50Hz and 60Hz signal is injected
into only one of the differential inputs. The MAX1492/
MAX1494 sigma-delta converter uses its internal digital
filter to provide normal-mode rejection to both 50Hz
and 60Hz power-line frequencies simultaneously.
Power-Supply Rejection Ratio
Power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR) is the ratio of the
input-supply change (in volts) to the change in the converter output (in volts). It is typically measured in decibels.
