General Description
The MAX1298/MAX1299 implement local and remote
temperature sensing with 12-bit resolution, using +5V
and +3V supply voltages, respectively. Accuracy is
±1°C from 0 to +70°C, with no calibration needed. The
devices feature an algorithmic switched-capacitor ana-
log-to-digital converter (ADC), an on-chip clock, and a
3-wire serial interface compatible with SPI™, QSPI™,
and MICROWIRE™.
The MAX1298/MAX1299 also perform fully differential
voltage measurements with 12-bit resolution and sepa-
rate track-and-hold (T/H) for positive and negative
inputs. Both devices accept versatile input modes con-
sisting of two 3-channel signal pairs, five 1-channel sig-
nals relative to a floating common, or V
DD
/4 relative to
ground. An external reference may be used for more
accurate voltage measurements.
Typical power consumption is only 1.3mW (MAX1299).
A shutdown mode and two standby modes provide
multiple strategies for prolonging battery life in portable
applications that require limited sampling throughput.
The MAX1298/MAX1299 are available in 16-pin SSOP
packages.
