About UsNew Instrumentation Amplifier and High-Accuracy Real-Time Clock
Maxim Integrated’s MAX41400 Amplifier enhances sensor accuracy by 4x and the MAX31343 RTC offers unparalleled accuracy at ±5ppm
When designing IoT and battery-operated sensors, engineers must develop systems that provide longer battery life while accurately measuring real-world voltages, forces and pressures. Power budgets require these sensors to achieve precision on the first measurement, with little to no calibration. Furthermore, industrial and internet of things (IoT) applications require these sensors to withstand extreme physical conditions of temperature, humidity and mechanical abuse. In order to achieve extended battery like and high accuracy, Maxim Integrated (now part of Analog Devices) have released three new analog IC's, the MAX41400 Instrumentation Amplifier, the MAX40108 precision Operational Amplifier and the MAX31343 Real Time Clock (RTC).
The MAX41400 instrumentation amplifier enhances sensor system accuracy by 4x and extends battery life by 55 percent compared to the altrenative offerings. The MAX41400 provides low offset of 25µV, low noise and programmable gain with only 65µA current consumption.
The MAX40108 is the lowest-voltage precision operational amplifier in its class, operating with supplies as low as 0.9V. The combination of low operational supply voltage, lower power consumption and 25.5µA quiescent current allows engineers to double sensor battery life.
The MAX31343 I²C RTC with integrated MEMS oscillator provides timekeeping accuracy of ±5ppm, substantially better than the similiar RTC's, plus robust protection afforded by a MEMS resonator. With its integrated resonator, the MAX31343 eliminates crystal mechanical failures and enables the smallest WLP compared to other products in the market.
“The growth of industrial and healthcare IoT applications is driving a growing need for enhanced battery life management and accuracy of measurement to support reduction of power consumption and availability of devices,” said Adam Davidson, analyst at Omdia. “These three products represent the best in our Essential Analog offering,” said Vickram Vathulya, vice president of Core Products Group at Maxim Integrated. “Maxim's mission continues to be providing engineers the finest products to sense and interface with the analog world. These solutions provide superb accuracy and low power consumption for the most demanding sensor applications.”
