Datasheet

General Description
The MAX1464 is a highly integrated, low-power, low-noise
multichannel sensor signal processor optimized for indus-
trial, and process-control applications such as pressure
sensing and compensation, RTD and thermocouple lin-
earization, weight sensing and classification, and remote
process monitoring with limit indication.
The MAX1464 accepts sensors with either single-ended
or differential outputs. The MAX1464 accommodates sen-
sor output sensitivities from 1mV/V to 1V/V. The MAX1464
provides amplification, calibration, signal linearization,
and temperature compensation that enable an overall
performance approaching the inherent repeatability of the
sensor without requiring any external trim components.
Two 16-bit voltage-output DACs and two 12-bit PWMs can
be used to indicate each of the temperature-compensated
sensor signals independently, as a sum or difference
signal, or user-defined relationship between each signal
and temperature. Uncommitted op amps are available to
buffer the DAC outputs, drive heavier external loads, or
provide additional gain and filtering.
The MAX1464 incorporates a 16-bit CPU, user-pro-
grammable 4kB of FLASH program memory, 128 bytes
of FLASH user information, one 16-bit ADC, two 16-bit
DACs, two 12-bit PWM digital outputs, four rail-to-rail op
amps, one SPI™-compatible interface, two GPIOs, and
one on-chip temperature sensor.
The MAX1464 operates from a single 5.0V (typ) supply
and is packaged for automotive, industrial, and commer-
cial temperature ranges in a 28-pin SSOP package.
