Detailed Description

The MAX1365/MAX1367 low-power, highly integrated
ADCs with LED drivers convert a ±2V differential input
voltage (one count is equal to 100µV for the MAX1365
and 1mV for the MAX1367) with a sigma-delta ADC and
output the result to an LED display. An additional
±200mV input range (one count is equal to 10µV for the
MAX1365 and 100µV for the MAX1367) is available to
measure small signals with finer resolution.

In addition to displaying the results on an LED display,
these devices feature a DAC and V-to-I converter for
4–20mA (or 0 to 16mA) current output that proportional-
ly follows the ADC input. The MAX1365/MAX1367 use
an external depletion-mode NMOS transistor to regulate
7V to 30V for the V/I converter. Use the 4–20mA (or 0 to
16mA) output to drive a remote display, data logger,
PLC input, or other 4–20mA devices in a current loop.

The MAX1365/MAX1367 include a 2.048V reference,
internal charge pump, and a high-accuracy on-chip
oscillator. The devices feature on-chip buffers for the dif-
ferential 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 detection and overrange/underrange detection.

Analog Input Protection

The MAX1365/MAX1367 provide internal protection
diodes that limit the analog input range on AIN+, AIN-,
REF+, and REF- from NEGV to (AV

DD

+ 0.3V). If the

analog input exceeds this range, limit the input current
to 10mA.

Internal Analog Input/Reference Buffers

The MAX1365/MAX1367 analog input/reference buffers
allow the use of high-impedance signal sources. The
input buffers’ common-mode input range allows the ana-
log inputs and the reference to range from -2.2V to +2.2V.

Modulator

The MAX1365/MAX1367 perform analog-to-digital con-
versions using a single-bit, 3rd-order, sigma-delta mod-
ulator. The sigma-delta modulator converts the input
