The MAX1452 architecture includes a programmable sensor excitation, a 16-step programmable-gain amplifier (PGA), a 768-byte (6144 bits) internal EEPROM, four 16-bit DACs, an uncommitted op amp, and an onchip temperature sensor. In addition to offset and span compensation. The MAX1452 provides a unique temperature compensation strategy for offset TC and FSOTC that was developed to provide a remarkable degree of flexibility while minimizing testing costs. The MAX1452 is packaged for the commercial, industrial, and automotive temperature ranges in 16-pin SSOP packages.
