MAX1478AAE
1% Accurate / Digitally Trimmed /Rail-to-Rail Sensor Signal Conditioner
General Description
The MAX1478 highly integrated, analog sensor signal
processor is optimized for piezoresistive sensor calibra-
tion and compensation without any external compo-
nents. It includes a programmable current source for
sensor excitation, a 3-bit programmable-gain amplifier
(PGA), a 128-bit internal EEPROM, and four 12-bit digi-
tal-to-analog converters (DACs). Achieving a total error
factor within 1% of the sensor’s repeatability errors, the
MAX1478 compensates offset, offset temperature coeffi-
cient, full-span output (FSO), FSO temperature coeffi-
cient (FSO TC), and FSO nonlinearity of silicon
piezoresistive sensors.
The MAX1478 calibrates and compensates first-order
temperature errors by adjusting the offset and span of
the input signal via DACs, thereby eliminating the quan-
tization noise associated with digital signal path solu-
tions. Built-in testability features on the MAX1478 result
in the integration of three traditional sensor-manufactur-
ing operations into one automated process:Pretest:Data acquisition of sensor performance
under the control of a host test computer.Calibration and compensation:Computation and
storage (in an internal EEPROM) of calibration and
compensation coefficients computed by the test
computer and downloaded to the MAX1478.Final test operation:Verification of transducer cali-
bration and compensation without removal from the
pretest socket.
Although optimized for use with piezoresistive sensors,
the MAX1478 may also be used with other resistive
sensors (i.e., accelerometers and strain gauges) with
some additional external components.
______________________Customization

For high-volume applications, Maxim can customize the
MAX1478 for unique requirements. With a dedicated
cell library consisting of more than 90 sensor-specific
functional blocks, Maxim can quickly provide cus-
tomized MAX1478 solutions.

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX1478 provides an analog amplification path for
the sensor signal. Calibration and temperature com-
pensation are achieved by varying the offset and gain
of a programmable-gain amplifier (PGA) and by varying
the sensor bridge current. The PGA uses a switched-
capacitor CMOS technology, with an input-referred
coarse offset trimming range of approximately ±63mV
(9mV steps). An additional output-referred fine offset
trim is provided by the Offset DAC (approximately
2.8mV steps). The PGA provides eight gain values from
+41V/V to +230V/V. The bridge current source is pro-
grammable from 0.1mA to 2mA.
The MAX1478 uses four 12-bit DACs and one 3-bit
DAC, with calibration coefficients stored by the user in
an internal 128-bit EEPROM. This memory contains the
following information as 12-bit-wide words:Configuration registerOffset calibration coefficientOffset temperature error-compensation coefficientFSO (full-span output) calibration coefficientFSO temperature error-compensation coefficient24 user-defined bits for customer programming of
manufacturing data (e.g., serial number and date)

defines the offset, full-scale, and FSO values as a func-
tion of voltage.

Pin Description
FSO TC Compensation
Silicon piezoresistive transducers (PRTs) exhibit a large
positive input resistance tempco (TCR) so that, while
under constant current excitation, the bridge voltage
(VBDRIVE) increases with temperature. This depen-
dence of VBDRIVEon the sensor temperature can be
used to compensate the sensor temperature errors.
PRTs also have a large negative full-span output sensi-
tivity tempco (TCS) so that, with constant voltage exci-
tation, FSO will decrease with temperature, causing a
full-span output temperature coefficient (FSO TC) error.
However, if the bridge voltage can be made to increase
with temperature at the same rate that TCS decreases
with temperature, the FSO will remain constant.
FSO TC compensation is accomplished by resistor
RFTCand the FSOTC DAC, which modulate the excita-
tion reference current at ISRC as a function of tempera-
ture (Figure 3). FSO DAC sets VISRCand remains
constant with temperature, while the voltage at FSOTC
varies with temperature. FSOTC is the buffered output
of the FSOTC DAC. The reference DAC voltage is
VBDRIVE, which is temperature dependent. The FSOTC
DAC alters the tempco of the current source. When the
tempco of the bridge voltage is equal in magnitude and
opposite in polarity to the TCS, the FSO TC errors are
compensated and FSO will be constant with tempera-
ture.
Offset TC Compensation

Compensating offset TC errors involves first measuring
the uncompensated offset TC error, then determining
the percentage of the temperature-dependent voltage
VBDRIVEthat must be added to the output summing
junction to correct the error. Use the Offset TC DAC to
adjust the amount of BDRIVE voltage that is added to
the output summing junction (Figure 2).
Analog Signal Path

The fully differential analog signal path consists of four
stages:Front-end summing junction for coarse offset correction3-bit PGA with eight selectable gains ranging from
41 through 230Three-input-channel summing junctionDifferential to single-ended output buffer (Figure 2)
Coarse Offset Correction

The sensor output is first fed into a differential summing
junction (INM (negative input) and INP (positive input))
with a CMRR >90dB, an input impedance of approxi-
mately 1MΩ, and a common-mode input voltage range
from VSSto VDD. At this summing junction, a coarse off-
set-correction voltage is added, and the resultant volt-
age is fed into the PGA. The 3-bit (plus sign)
input-referred Offset DAC (IRO DAC) generates the
coarse offset-correction voltage. The DAC voltage ref-
erence is 1.25% of VDD; thus, a VDDof 5V results in a
front-end offset-correction voltage ranging from -63mV
to +63mV, in 9mV steps (Table 1). To add an offset to
the input signal, set the IRO sign bit high; to subtract an
offset from the input signal, set the IRO sign bit low.
The IRO DAC bits (C2, C1, C0, and IRO sign bit) are
programmed in the configuration register (see Internal
EEPROM section).

Table 1. Input-Referred Offset DAC
Correction Values
Programmable-Gain Amplifier

The PGA, which is used to set the coarse FSO, uses a
switched-capacitor CMOS technology and contains
eight selectable gain levels from 41 to 230, in incre-
ments of 27 (Table 2). The output of the PGA is fed to
the output summing junction. The three PGA gain bits
A2, A1, and A0 are stored in the configuration register.
Output Summing Junction

The third stage in the analog signal path consists of a
summing junction for the PGA output, offset correction,
and offset TC correction. Both the offset and the offset
TC correction voltages are multiplied by a factor of 2.3
before being fed into the summing junction, increasing
the offset and offset TC correction range. The offset
sign bit and offset TC sign bit are stored in the configu-
ration register. The offset sign bit determines if the off-
set correction voltage is added to (sign bit is high) or
subtracted from (sign bit is low) the PGA output.
Negative offset TC errors require a logic high for the
offset TC sign bit. Alternately, positive offset TC errors
dictate a logic low for the offset TC sign bit. The output
of the summing junction is fed to the output buffer.
Output Buffer

OUT can drive 0.1µF of capacitance. The output is cur-
rent limited and can be shorted to either VDDor VSS
indefinitely. OUT can both source and sink current. A
load can be driven to either rail. The output can swing
very close to either supply while maintaining its
accuracy and stability.
Maxim recommends putting a
0.1µF capacitor on the OUT pin in noisy environments.
Bridge Drive

Fine FSO correction is accomplished by varying the
sensor excitation current with the 12-bit FSO DAC
(Figure 3). Sensor bridge excitation is performed by a
programmable current source capable of delivering up
to 2mA. The reference current at ISRC is established by
resistor RISRCand by the voltage at node ISRC (con-
trolled by the FSO DAC). The reference current flowing
through this pin is multiplied by a current mirror (current
mirror gain AA ≅14) and then made available at
BDRIVE for sensor excitation. Modulation of this current
with respect to temperature can be used to correct
FSOTC errors, while modulation with respect to the out-
put voltage (VOUT) can be used to correct FSO linearity
errors.
Digital-to-Analog Converters

The four 12-bit, sigma-delta DACs typically settle in
less than 100ms. The four DACs have a corresponding
memory register in EEPROM for storage of correction
coefficients.
Use the FSO DAC for fine FSO adjustments. The FSO
DAC takes its reference from VDDand controls VISRC
which, in conjunction with RISRC, sets the baseline sen-
sor excitation current. The Offset DAC also takes its ref-
erence from VDDand provides a 1.22mV resolution with
1% Accurate, Digitally Trimmed,
Rail-to-Rail Sensor Signal Conditioner
a VDDof 5V. The output of the Offset DAC is fed into
the output summing junction where it is gained by
approximately 2.3, which increases the resulting out-
put-referred offset correction resolution to 2.8mV.
Both the Offset TC and FSOTC DACs take their refer-
ence from BDRIVE, a temperature-dependent voltage.
A nominal VBDRIVEof 2.5V results in a step size of
0.6mV. The Offset TC DAC output is fed into the output
summing junction where it is multiplied by approximate-
ly 2.3, thereby increasing the Offset TC correction
range. The buffered FSOTC DAC output is available at
FSOTC and is connected to ISRC through RFTCto cor-
rect FSO TC errors.
Internal Resistors

The MAX1478 contains three internal resistors (RISRC,
RFTC, and RTEMP) optimized for common silicon PRTs.
RISRC(in conjunction with the FSO DAC) programs the
nominal sensor excitation current. RFTC(in conjunction
with the FSOTC DAC) compensates the FSO TC errors.
Both RISRCand RFTChave a nominal value of 75kΩ. If
external resistors are used, RISRCand RFTCcan be dis-
abled by resetting the appropriate bit (address 07h
reset to zero) in the configuration register (Table 3).
RTEMPis a high-tempco resistor with a TC of
+4600ppm/°C and a nominal resistance of 100kΩat
+25°C. This resistor can be used with certain sensor
types that require an external temperature sensor.
Internal EEPROM

The MAX1478 has a 128-bit internal EEPROM arranged
as eight 16-bit words. The four uppermost bits for each
register are reserved. The internal EEPROM is used to
store the following (also shown in the memory map in
Table 4):

ber, batch date, and check sums
Program the EEPROM 1 bit at a time. The bits have
addresses from 0 to 127 (7F hex).
Configuration Register

The configuration register (Table 3) determines the
PGA gain, the polarity of the offset and offset TC coeffi-
cients, and the coarse offset correction (IRO DAC). It
also enables/disables internal resistors (RFTCand
RISRC).
DAC Registers

The Offset, Offset TC, FSO, and FSOTC registers store
the coefficients used by their respective calibration/
compensation DACs.

Detailed Description of the Digital Lines
Chip Select (CS) and Write Enable (WE)

CS is used to enable OUT, control serial communica-
tion, and force an update of the configuration and DAC
registers.A low on CS disables serial communication.A transition from low to high on CS forces an update
of the configuration and DAC registers from the
EEPROM when the U bit is zero.A transition from high to low on CS terminates pro-
gramming mode.A logic high on CS enables OUT and serial commu-
nication (seeCommunication Protocol section).
WE controls the refresh rate for the internal configura-
tion and DAC registers from the EEPROM and enables
the erase/write operations. If communication has been
initiated (see Communication Protocol section), internal
register refresh is disabled.A low on WE disables the erase/write operations and
also disables register refreshing from the EEPROM.A high on WE selects a refresh rate of approximately
400 times per second and enables EEPROM
erase/write operations.It is recommended that WE be connected to VSS
after the MAX1478 EEPROM has been programmed.
Serial Clock

Serial Clock (SCLK) must be driven externally. It is
used to input commands to the MAX1478 and read
EEPROM contents. Input data on DIO is latched on the
rising edge of SCLK. Noise on SCLK may disrupt com-
munication. In noisy environments, place a capacitor
(0.01µF) between SCLK and VSS.
Data Input/Output

The data input/output (DIO) line is an input/output pin
used to issue commands to the MAX1478 (input mode)
or read the EEPROM contents (output mode).
In input mode (the default mode), data on DIO is
latched on each rising edge of SCLK. Therefore, data
on DIO must be stable at the rising edge of SCLK and
should transition on the falling edge of SCLK.
DIO will switch to output mode after receiving a READ
EEPROM command, and will return the data bit
addressed by the digital value in the READ EEPROM
command. After a low-to-high transition on CS, DIO
returns to input mode and is ready to accept more
commands.
Communication Protocol

To initiate communication, the first 6 bits on DIO after
CS transitions from low to high mustbe 1010U0
(defined as the INIT SEQUENCE). The MAX1478 will
then begin accepting 16-bit control words (Figure 4).
If the INIT SEQUENCE is not detected, all subsequent
data on DIO is ignored until CS again transitions from
low to high and the correct INIT SEQUENCE is received.
The U bit of the INIT SEQUENCE controls the updating
of the DACs and configuration register from the internal
EEPROM. If this bit is low (U = 0), all four internal DACs
and the configuration register will be updated from the
EEPROM on the next rising edge of CS (this is also the
default on power-up). If the U bit is high, the DACs and
configuration register will not be updated from the inter-
nal EEPROM; they will retain their current value on any
subsequent CS rising edge. The MAX1478 continues to
accept control words until CS is brought low.

MAX1478
Control Words

After receiving the INIT SEQUENCE on DIO, the MAX1478
begins latching in 16-bit control words, LSB first (Figure 5).
The first 12 bits (D0–D11) represent the data field. The
last 4 bits of the control word (the MSBs, CM0–CM3)
are the command field. The MAX1478 supports the
commands listed in Table 5.
ERASE EEPROM Command

When an ERASE EEPROM command is issued, all of
the memory locations in the EEPROM are reset to a
logic 0. The data field of the 16-bit word is ignored.
Important: An internal charge pump develops voltages
greater than 20V for EEPROM programming operations.
The EEPROM control logic requires 50ms to erase the
EEPROM. After sending a WRITE or ERASE command,
failure to wait 50ms before issuing another command
may result in data being accidentally written to the
EEPROM. The maximum number of ERASE EEPROM
cycles should not exceed 100.
BEGIN EEPROM WRITE Command

The BEGIN EEPROM WRITE command stores a logic
high at the memory location specified by the lower 7
bits of the data field (A0–A6). The higher bits of the
data field (A7–A11) are ignored (Figure 6). Note that to
write to the internal EEPROM, WE and CS must be high.
