ten times the first-notch frequency and 60Hz is equal to
12 times the first-notch frequency.
For large step changes at the input, allow a settling
time of 800ms before valid data is read.
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 con-
trol 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 DV
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.
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 con-
trol register equal to 0. Using the internal oscillator
saves board space by removing the need for an exter-
nal clock source.
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 fac-
tor of two. The MAX1492/MAX1494 operate with an
external clock source of up to 5.05MHz.
The MAX1492/MAX1494 contain an internal charge
pump to provide the negative supply voltage for the inter-
nal analog input/reference buffers. The bipolar input
range of the analog input/reference buffers allows this
device to accept negative inputs with high source imped-
ances. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor from V
The MAX1492/MAX1494 contain the necessary back-
plane and segment-driver outputs to drive 3.5-digit

(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 Segment-
Display Register sections).
An internal resistor string comprised of three equal-
value resistors (52kΩ, 1% matching) is used to gener-
ate the display drive voltages. On the MAX1492, one
end of the string is connected to DV
end is connected to GND. On the MAX1494, the other
end of the resistor string is connected to V

The connection diagrams for a typical 7-segment dis-
play-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 configura-
tion to drive a triplexed LCD with three backplanes and
13 segment-driver lines (10 for 3.5 digits). Figures 4
