Product details
Overview
MAX1402CAI+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, 18-bit sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with three fully differential or five pseudo-differential input channels, matched 200µA on-chip current sources for sensor excitation, and 16-bit accuracy at up to 480sps output data rate. It operates from a +5V analog supply and +3V/+5V digital supply, targeting precision measurement in loop-powered industrial sensors and portable weighing systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1402CAI+T datasheet, MAX1402CAI+T pinout, MAX1402CAI+T application, or MAX1402CAI+T equivalent, this device supports programmable gain (1–128V/V), automatic channel scanning, line-frequency rejection (50/60Hz notch filtering), and SPI/QSPI-compatible 3-wire serial interface - all in a 28-pin SSOP package rated for 0°C to +70°C operation.
Technical Context
The MAX1402CAI+T employs a sigma-delta modulator with digital decimation filtering, enabling selectable decimation factors to trade resolution for throughput - achieving true 16-bit performance at 480sps or higher rates with reduced resolution. Its modulator sampling frequency is configurable for lowest power dissipation or highest throughput, and it supports master clock inputs of 1.024MHz or 2.4576MHz.
It integrates two fully differential calibration channels (CALGAIN±, CALOFF±) for system-level gain and offset correction, and features an offset DAC with ±116.7% FSR range for input-referred DC offset compensation. Input common-mode voltage range spans AGND to V+ − 1.5V, with absolute AIN voltage limits of AGND − 30mV to V+ + 200mV.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multichannel sigma-delta ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1258IRTCR | 24-bit resolution, 125kSPS max, 8-channel, requires external reference and excitation; no on-chip current sources | Better resolution/speed but higher power (4.1mA); lacks integrated 200µA excitation for direct bridge drive | Choose ADS1258IRTCR for ultra-high-resolution lab-grade instruments where external excitation is acceptable |
| AD7798BRUZ | 16-bit, 4-channel, 480sps, 250µA excitation, SPI interface, 16-pin TSSOP; no pseudo-differential mode or CAL inputs | Smaller footprint and lower cost, but limited to 4 inputs and no system calibration channel support | Choose AD7798BRUZ for space-constrained, cost-sensitive 4-channel applications without calibration requirements |
Compared with ADS1258IRTCR and AD7798BRUZ, the MAX1402CAI+T uniquely combines on-chip matched excitation, five pseudo-differential inputs, and dedicated calibration channels - making it optimal for portable, self-calibrating industrial sensor nodes requiring minimal external components and robust line-noise immunity.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX1402CAI+T?
The MAX1402CAI+T is specified for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +70°C. This range is confirmed by the 'CAI' suffix in the part number and matches the ordering information table, which lists MAX1402CAI with 0°C to +70°C range and A28-2 SSOP packaging. It is not rated for extended industrial or automotive temperature ranges.
Does the MAX1402CAI+T support both 3V and 5V digital I/O interfaces?
Yes, the MAX1402CAI+T supports dual digital supply operation: VDD accepts +2.7V to +5.25V, allowing direct interfacing with either 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers. Logic thresholds scale with VDD (VIH = 0.7×VDD, VIL = 0.3×VDD), and output drive strength is specified for both 3.3V and 5V conditions - ensuring reliable SPI/QSPI communication across mixed-voltage systems.
How does the MAX1402CAI+T achieve 50Hz/60Hz line-frequency rejection?
The MAX1402CAI+T achieves 100dB normal-mode and 150dB common-mode 50/60Hz rejection through its programmable digital decimation filter. When configured with a 2.4576MHz or 1.024MHz master clock and appropriate filter control bits (MF1/MF0), the filter places precise notches at line frequency and harmonics - eliminating the need for external analog notch filters or software-based digital post-processing.
Can the MAX1402CAI+T be used with single-ended sensors?
Yes, the MAX1402CAI+T supports pseudo-differential operation: five single-ended inputs (AIN1–AIN5) can share AIN6 as a common reference node, effectively enabling single-ended sensor connections. This configuration is explicitly documented in the Pin Description and General Description sections, and does not require external level-shifting circuitry.
What is the purpose of the CALGAIN± and CALOFF± pins on the MAX1402CAI+T?
The CALGAIN± and CALOFF± pins on the MAX1402CAI+T serve dual roles: they provide dedicated inputs for system-level gain and offset calibration during manufacturing, and - when calibration is disabled in auto-sequence mode - function as two additional fully differential analog input channels. This design maximizes channel utilization without requiring external switches or muxes.
