The TCB07 is a 2-1/2 digit analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) designed to drive standard 7-segment LED displays
without external drive electronics.
This 0.5% resolution converter is ideal for low-cost
pressure, temperature, pH or flow-rate indicators.
The TCB07 features differential inputs and references
for ratio metric readings. An auto-zero cycle eliminates external offset adjustment potentiometers.
This dual-slope converter automatically rejects 50-,
60- and 400-Hz line frequency interference signals. Polarity information is displayed, giving the device a ±200 count
dynamic range.
Overall system cost is reduced by incorporating a lowtemperature coefficient voltage reference on-chip.

A 0.1 IlF capacitor is used in most applications. If a large common-mode voltage exists (for example
the VIN- pin is not at analog common), and a 200 mV scale is used, a 1 IlF capacitor is recommended
and will hold the roll-over error to 0.5 count.

Pins 40, 39, and 38 make up the oscillator section. For a 48 kHz clock (three readings per second),
connect pin 40 to the junction of a 100 kn resistor and a 100 pF capacitor.The 100 kn resistor is held
to pin 39 and the 100 pF capac~or is tied to pin 38.

ANALOG SECTION
Figure 2 is a block diagram of the TC80? Each
measurement cycle is divided into three phases: (1) autozero (A-Z) , (2) signal integration (51), and (3) reference
integration (RI). The conversion rate is set by the clock
oscillator frequency and is independent of the analog input
amplitude.

Polarity is determined at the end of the signal integrate
phase. The sign bit is a true polarity indication, in that signals
less than 1 L5B are correctly determined. This allows
precision null detection limited only by device noise and
auto-zero residual offsets.

Reference-Integrate Cycle
Auto-Zero Cycle

The final phase is reference integrate or deintegrate.
VIN- is internally connected to analog common and VIN+ is

During the auto-zero cycle, the differential input signal is
disconnected from the circuit by opening internal analog
gates. The internal nodes are shorted to analog common
(ground) to establish a zero-input condition. Additional analog gates close a feedback loop around the integrator and
comparator. This loop permits comparator offset voltage
error compensation. The voltage level established on CAZ
compensates for device offset voltages. The offset error
referred to the input is less than 10 ltV.
The auto-zero cycle length is 4000 to 12,000 clock
cycles.

connected across the previously charged reference capacitor. Circuitry within the chip ensures the capacitor will be
connected with the correct polarity to cause the integrator
output to return to zero. The time required for the output to
return to zero is proportional to the input signal, and is
between 0 and 8000 clock cycles. The digital reading
displayed is:

DIGITAL SECTION

Signal-Integrate Cycle

The TC80? contains all the segment drivers necessary
to directly drive a 2-1/2 digit LED display. The segment is
typically 8 rnA. The 1OO's output (pin 19) sinks current from
two LED segments, and has a 16-rnA drive capability. The
TC80? is designed to drive common anode LED displays.
(See Figure 2.)
The polarity indication is "ON" for negative analog
inputs. If VIN- and VIN+ are reversed, this indication can be
reversed also, if desired.
The display font is shown in Figure 3.

The auto-zero loop is opened, the internal short removed, and the internal differential inputs connect to VIN+
and VIN-. The differential input signal is integrated for a fixed
time period. The signal integration period is 4000 cycles.
The integration time period is:

4
tSI = f-- X 1000,

osc

where fasc = external clock frequency.
The differential input voltage must be within the device's
common-mode range (1 V of either supply) when the converter and measured system share the same power supply
common (ground). 1fthe converter and measured system do
not share the same power supply common, VIN- should be
tied to analog common.

System Timing
The oscillator frequency is +4 prior to clocking the internal decade counters. The three-phase measurement
cycle takes a total of 16,000 clock pulses.

Integrating Capacitor (CINT)
CINT should be selected to maximize integrator output
voltage swing without causing output saturation. Analog
common will normally supply the differential voltage reference. For this case. a ±2V full-scale integrator output swing
is satisfactory. For 3 readings/second (fose = 48 kHz). a
0.22llFvalue is suggested. If a different oscillator frequency
is used. CINT must be changed in inverse proportion to
maintain the nominal ±2V integrator swing.
An exact expression for CINT is:

Integrating Resistor (RINT)
The input buffer amplifier and integrator are designed
with Class A output stages. The output stage idling current is
100 JJA. The integrator and buffer can supply 20 JJA drive
currents with negligible linearity errors. RINT is chosen to remain in the output stage linear drive region but not so large
that printed circuit board leakage currents induce errors. For
a 200 mV full scale. RINT is 471<.0. A 2V full scale requires
4701<.0.

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVEftTER
TC807
In some applications, a scale factor other than unity
may exist between a transducer output voltage and the
required digital reading. For example, assume a pressure
transducer output for 200 Iblin.2 is 400 mY. Rather than
dividing the input voltage by two, the reference voltage
should be set to 200 mY. This permits the transducer input
to be used directly.
The differential reference can also be used when a
digital zero reading is required when VIN is not equal to
zero. This is common in temperature measuring instrumentation. A compensating offset voltage can be applied
between analog common and VIN- . The transducer output
is connected between VIN+ and analog common.
The internal voltage reference potential available at
analog common is normally used to supply the converter's
reference. This potential is stable whenever the supply
potential is greater than approximately 7V. In applications
where an externally-generated reference voltage is desired, refer to Figure 4.

COMMON

VIN+ (Pin 31), VIN- (Pin 30)
The TC807 is designed with true differential inputs
and accepts input signals within the input stage commonmode voltage range (VCM). The typical range is V+ -1V to V+1V. Common-mode voltages are removed from the system
when the TC807 operates from a floating power source
(isolated from measured system) and VIN- is connected to
analog common.
In systems where common-mode voltages exist,
the 86 dB common-mode rejection ratio minimizes error.
Common-mode voltages do, however, affect the integrator
output level. Integrator output saturation must be prevented.
A worst-case condition exists if a large positive VCM exists in
conjunction with a full-scale negative differential signal. The
negative signal drives the integrator output positive along
with VCM (Figure 5). For such applications, the integrator
output swing can be reduced below the recommended 2V
full-scale swing. The integrator output will swing within 0.3V
of V+ or V- without increasing linearity errors.

The reference voltage can be generated anywhere

To pr.event roll-over errors being induced by large
common-mode voltages, CREF should be large compared to
stray node capacitance.

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER

TC807
Analog Common

(2) The signal is less than ±1.SV.

Analog COMMON (pin 32) is set at a voltage potential
approximately 3V below V+. The potential is guaranteed to
be between 2.7V and 3.3SV below V+. Analog common is
tied internally to an N-channel FET capable of sinking 30
mAo This FET will hold the common line at 3V should an
external load attempt to pull the common line toward V+.
Analog common source current is limited to 10 !lA.
Therefore, analog common is easily pulled to a more
negative voltage (i.e., below V+ -3V).
The TC807 connects the internal VIN+ and VIN- inputs
to analog common during the auto-zero cycle. During the
reference-integrate phase, VIN- is connected to analog
common. If VIN- is not externally connected to analog common, a common-mode voltage exists. This is rejected by
the converter's 86-dB common-mode rejection ratio. In
systems where VIN- is connected to the power supply
ground or to a given voltage, analog common should be
connected to VIN-.
Analog common serves to set the analog section reference or common point. The common potential has a
0.001%/% voltage coefficient and 1S0 output impedance.
With sufficiently high total supply voltage (V+ -V->7V),
analog common is a very stable potential with excellent
temperature stability (typically 20 pprn/°C). This potential
can be used to generate reference voltage.
If analog common is connected to power ground, the
internal reference is disabled. An external reference is
required when analog common is connected to power
ground.

(3) An external reference is used.
(4) The TC7660 DC-to-DC converter may also be used
to generate -SV from +SV (Figure 7).

Ratiometric Resistance Measurements
True differential input and differential reference make
ratiometric readings possible. Typically, in a ratiometric
operation, an unknown resistance is measured with respect
to a known standard resistance. No accurately defined
reference voltage is needed.
The unknown resistance is put in series with a known
standard and a current passed through the pair. The voltage
developed across the unknown is applied to the input and
the voltage across the known resistor applied to the reference input. If the unknown equals the standard, the display
will read 100. The displayed reading can be determined from
.
the following expression:
Displayed reading = RUNKNOWN x 100.
RSTANDARD
The display will overrangefor RUNKNOWN;;.2

POWER SUPPLIES

TC807

The TC807 is designed to work from ±SV supplies.
However, if a negative supply is not available, it can be
generated from the clock output with two diodes, two capacitors, and an inexpensive IC. (See Figure 6.)
In selected applications, a negative supply is not required. The conditions to use a single +5V supply are:

GND 1------+
VV-=-3.3V

(1) The input signal can be referenced to the center of
the common-mode range of the converter.

3-1/2 DIGIT AID CONVERTER WITH HOLD AND
DIFFERENTIAL REFERENCE INPUTS

TC811
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC811 is a low power, 3-1/2 digit, LCD display
analog-to-digital converter. This device incorporates both a
display hold feature and differential reference inputs. A
crystal oscillator, which only requires two pins, permits
added features while retaining a 40-pin package. An additional feature is an "Integrator Output Zero" phase which
guarantees rapid input overrange recovery.
The TC811 display hold (HLDR) function can be used to
"freeze' the LCD display. The displayed reading will remain
indefinitely as long as HLDR is held high. Conversions
continue but the output data display latches are not updated.
The TC811 also includes a differential reference for easy
ratiometric measurements. Circuits which use the
7106/26/36 can easily be upgraded to include the hold
function with the TC811.
The TC811 has an improved internal zener reference
voltage circuit which maintains the Analog Common temperature drift to 35ppml°C (typical) and 75ppml°C (maximum). This represents an improvement of two to four times
over similar 3-1/2 digit converters, eliminating the need for
a costly, space consuming external reference source.
The TC811 limits linearity errorto less than one count on
both the 200mV and the 2.00V full-scale ranges. Rollover

error-the difference in readings for equal magnitude but
opposite polarity input signals-is below ±1 count. High
impedance differential inputs offer 1pA leakage currents
and a 1012.0 input impedance. The 15/lVp-p noise performance guarantees a "rock solid" reading. The Auto Zero
cycle guarantees a zero display readout for a zero voH input.
ThesingiechipCMOSTC811 incorporates all the active
devices for a 3-1/2 digit analog to digital converter to directly
drive an LCD display. Onboard oscillator, precision voltage
reference and display segment and backplane drivers simplify system integration, reduce board space requirements
and lower total cost. A low cost, high resolution (0.05%)
indicating meter requires only a TC811, an LCD display, five
resistors, six capacitors, a crystal, and a 9V battery. Compact, hand held multimeterdesigns benefit from the Teledyne
Semiconductor small footprint package option.
The TC811 uses a dual slope conversion technique
which will reject interference signals if the converters integration time is set to a muHiple of the interference signal
period. This is especially useful in industrial measurement
environments where 50, 60 and 400Hz line frequency signals are present.

GENERAL THEORY OF OPERATION

Dual-Slope Conversion Principles

~

The TC811 is a dual slope, integrating analog-to-digital
converter. An understanding of the dual slope conversion
technique will aid the user in following the detailed TC811
theory of operation following this section. A conventional
dual slope converter measurement cycle has two distinct
phases:
1) Input Signal Integration
2) Reference Voltage Integration (Deintegration)
Referring to Fig 2, the unknown input signal to be
converted is integrated from zero for a fixed time period
(TINT), measured by counting clock pulses. A constant
reference voltage of the opposite polarity is then integrated
until the integrator output voltage returns to zero. The
reference integration (de integration) time (TDEINT) is then
directly proportional to the unknown input voltage (VIN).
In a simple dual slope converter, a complete conversion
requires the integrator output to "ramp-up" from zero and
"ramp-down" back to zero. A simple mathematical equation
relates the input signal, reference voltage and integration
time:

Accuracy in a dual slope converter is unrelated to the
integrating resistor and capacitor values as long as they are
stable during a measurement cycle. An inherent benefit of
the dual slope technique is noise immunity. Noise spikes are
integrated or averaged to zero during the integration periods, making integration ADCs immune to the large conversion errors that plague successive approximation converters in high noise environments. Interfering signals, with
frequency components at multiples of the averaging (integrating) period, will be attenuated. (see Fig 3). Integrating
ADCs commonly operate with the signal integration period
set to a multiple of the SO/60Hz power line period.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Analog Section

Figure 4a

In addition to the basic integrate and deintegrate dualslope cycles discussed above, the TC811 design incorporates an "Integrator Output Zero" cycle and an "Auto Zero"
cycle. These additional cycles ensure the integrator starts
at OV (even after a severe over-range conversion) and that
all offset voltage errors (buffer amplifier, integrator and
comparator) are removed from the conversion. A true digital
zero reading is assured without any external adjustments.
A complete conversion consists of four distinct phases:

Integrator Output Zero Cycle

Conversion Timing During Overrange Operation

during the measurement cycle. The Auto Zero cycle residual is typically 10 to 15JlV.
The Auto Zero duration is from 910 to 2,900 counts for
non-over-range conversions and from 300 to 91 0 counts for
over-range conversions.

This phase guarantees that the integrator output is at
zero volts before the system zero phase is entered, ensuring
that the true system offset voltages will be compensated for
even after an over-range conversion. The duration of this
phase is variable, being a function of the number of counts
(clock cycles) required for deintegration.
The Integrator Output Zero cycle will last from 11 to 140
counts for non-over-range conversions and from 31 to 640
counts for over-range conversions.

Signal Integration Cycle
Upon completion of the Auto Zero cycle, the Auto Zero
loop is opened and the internal differential inputs connect to
VIN+ and VIN-. The differential input signal is then integrated
for a fixed time period which, in the TC811 is 1000 counts
(4000 clock periods). The externally set clock frequency is
divided by four before clocking the internal counters. The
integration time period is:

Auto Zero Cycle
During the Auto Zero cycle, the differential input signal
is disconnected from the measurement circuit by opening
internal analog switches and the internal nodes are shorted
to Analog Common (OV ref.) to establish a zero input
condition. Additional analog switches close a feedback loop
around the integrator and comparator to permit comparator
offset voltage error compensation. A voltage established on
CAZ then compensates for internal device offset voltages

TINT =

The differential input voltage must be within the device
common-mode range when the converter and measured
system share the same power supply common (ground).

If the converter and measured system do not share the same
power supply common, as in battery powered applications,
VIN- should be tied to Analog Common.
Polarity is determined at the end of signal integration
phase. The sign bit is a 'true polarity" indication in that
signals less than 1 LSB are correctly determined. This
allows precision null detection which is limited only by device
noise and Auto Zero residual offsets.

the need for an external reference. Some minor component
changes are required to upgrade existing designs, reduce
power dissipation, and improve the overall performance.
(see Oscillator Components)

Digital Section
The TC811 contains all the segment drivers necessary
to directly drive a 3-1/2 digit liquid crystal display (LCD). An
LCD backplane driver is included. The backplane frequency
is the external clock frequency divided by 800. For three
conversions/second the backplane frequency is 60Hz with
a 5V nominal amplitude. When a segment driver is in phase
with the backplane signal the segment ot':bFP'. An out of
phase segment drive signal causes the segment to be "ON"
or visible. This AC drive configuration results in negligible
DC voltage across each LCD segment. This insures long
LCD display life. The polarity segment driver is "ON" for
negative analog inputs. If VIN+ and VIN- are reversed then
this indicator would reverse.

Reference Integrate (Deintegrate) Cycle
The reference capacitor, which was charged during the
Auto Zero cycle, is connected to the input of the integrating
amplifier. The internal sign logic insures that the polarity of
the reference voltage is always connected in the phase
which is opposite to that of the input voltage. This causes the
integrator to ramp back to zero at a constant rate which is
determined by the reference potential.
The amount of time required (TDEINT) for the integrating
amplifier to reach zero is directly proportional to the amplitude of the voltage that was put on the integrating capacitor
(VINT) during the integration cycle:

On the TC811, when TEST is pulled to a logical "HIGH",
all segments are turned "ON". The display will read "-1SSS".
During this mode the LCD segments have a constant DC

more than several minutes. LCD displays may be destroyed
if operated with DC levels for extended periods.

until HLDR is returned to "LOW'. To continuously update the
display, connect HLDR to ground or leave it open. This input
is CMOS compatible and has an internal resistance of 70Kn
(typical) tied to TEST.

COMPONENT VALUE SELECTION

Oscillator Components

Auto Zero Capacitor - CAZ

The internal oscillator has been designed to operate
witha quartzcrystal,such astheStatekCX-1 V series. Such
crystals are very small and are available in a variety of
standard frequencies. Note that fose is divided by four to
generate the TCS11 internal control clock. The backplane
drive signal is derived by dividing fose by SOo.
To achieve maximum rejection of ac-line noise pickup,
a 40kHz crystal should be used. This frequency will yield an
integration period of 1OOms and will reject both 50Hz and
60Hz noise. For prototyping or cost-sensitive applications a
32.76SkHz watch crystal can be used, and will produce
about 25dB of line-noise rejection. Other crystal frequencies, from 16kHz to 4SkHz, can also be used.
Pins 39 and 40 make up the oscillator section of the
TCS11. Figures 6a and 6b show some typical conversion
rate component values.
The LCD backplane frequency is derived by dividing the
oscillator frequency by SOo. Capacitive loading of the LCD
may compromise display performance if the oscillator is run
much over 4SKHz.

The value of the Auto Zero capacitor (CAz) has some
influence on system noise. A 0.471-1F capacitor is recommended for 200mV full-scale applications where 1LSB is
lO0I-1V. A 0.10I-1F capacitor should be used for 2.0V fullscale applications. A capacitor with low dielectric absorption
(Mylar) is required.

Reference Voltage Capacitor -CREF
The reference voltage used to ramp the integrator
output voltage back to zero during the reference integrate
cycle is stored on CREF. A 0.11-1F capacitor is typical. If the
application requires a sensitivity of 200mV full-scale, increase CREF to 1.0I-1F. Rollover error will be held to less than
1/2 count. A good quality, low leakage capacitor, such as
Mylar, should be used.

Integrating Capacitor - CINT
CINT should be selected to maximize integrator output
voltage swing without causing output saturation. Analog
common will normally supply the differential voltage reference. For this case a ±2V integrator output swing is
optimum when the analog input is near full-scale. For 2 or
2.5 reading/second (fose = 32kHz or 40kHz) and VFS =
200mV, a .06SI-1F value is suggested. If a different oscillator
frequency is used, CINT must be changed in inverse proportion to maintain the nominal ±2V integrator swing. An exact
expression for CINT is :
4000 VFS
CINT = VINT RINT fose
where:
fose =Clock frequency at Pin 39
VFS = Full-scale input voltage
RINT = Integrating resistor
VINT = Desired full-scale integrator output swing

Reference Voltage (VREF)
A full-scale reading (2000 counts) requires the input
signal be twice the reference Voltage.
In some applications a scale factor other than unity may
exist, such as between a transducer output voltage and the
required digital reading. Assume, for example, a pressure
transducer output is 400mV for 20001b/in 2. Rather than
dividing the input voltage by two, the reference voltage
should be set to 200mV. This permits the transducer input
to be used directly.

"'''
TC811

OSCl

CINT must have low dielectric absorption to minimize
roll-over error. A polypropylene capacitor is recommended.

Integrating Resistor -RINT

40.0 kHz

The input buffer amplifier and integrator are designed
with class A output stages which have idling currents of 6i!A.
The integrator and buffer can supply 1i!A drive currents with
negligible linearity errors. RINT is chosen to remain in the
output stage linear drive region but not so large that printed
circuit board leakage currents induce errors. For a 200mV
full-scale, RINT should be about 1S0kQ. A 2.0V full-scale
requires abut 1 .SMil.

ence inputs permit ratiometric measurements and simplify
interfacing with sensors such as load cells and temperature
sensors. The TC811 is ideally suited to applications in handheld multi meters, panel meters, and portable instrumentation. The reference voltage can be generated anywhere
within the V+ to V- power supply range.
To prevent rollover type errors from being induced by
large common-mode voltages, CREF should be large compared to stray node capacitance. A 0.1!!F capacitor is a
typical value.
The TC811 offers a significantly improved Analog Common temperature coefficient. This provides a very stable
voltage suitable for use as a voltage reference. The temperature coefficient of Analog Common is typically 35ppm/

DEVICE PIN FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Differential Signal Inputs (VIN+ (Pin 31),
VIN- (Pin 30»
The TC811 is designed with true differential inputs and
accepts input signals within the input stage common mode
voltage range (VCM). The typical range is V+ - 1.0 to V- +
1.5V. Common-mode voltages are removed from the system when the TC811 operates from a battery or floating
power source (isolated from measured system) and VIN- is
connected to Analog Common. (see Fig 8)
In systems where common-mode voltages exist, the
86dB common-mode rejection ratio minimizes error. Common-mode voltages do, however, affect the integrator output level. A worse case condition exists if a large positive
VCM exists in conjunction with a full-scale negative differential signal. The negative signal drives the integrator output
positive along with VCM (Figure 8). For such applications the
integrator output swing can be reduced below the recommended 2.0V full-scale swing. The integrator output will
swing within 0.3V of V+ or V- without increased linearity
error.

Analog Common (Pin 32)

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

The Analog Common pin is set at a voltage potential
approximately 3.0V below V+. This potential is guaranteed
to be between 2.70Vand 3.35V below V+. Analog common
is tied internally to an N channel FET capable of sinking
1OO~. This FET will hold the common line at 3.0V below
V+ should an eX1ernalload attempt to pull the common line
toward V+. Analog common source current is limited to 1~.
Analog common is therefore easily pulled to a more negative
voltage (Le. below V+ - 3.0V).
The TCB11 connects the internal VIN+ and VIN- inputs
to Analog Common during the Auto Zero cycle. During the
reference integrate phase VIN- is connected to Analog
Common. If VIN- is not eX1ernally connected to Analog
Common, a common-mode voltage exists. This is rejected
by the converter's B6dB common-mode rejection ratio. In
battery powered applications, Analog Common and VINare usually connected, removing common-mode voltage
concerns. In systems where VIN- is connected to the power
supply ground or to a given voltage, Analog Common should
be connected to VIN-.
The Analog Common pin serves to set the analog
section reference or common point. The TCB11 is specifically designed to operate from a battery or in any measurement system where input signals are not referenced (float)
with respect to the TCB11 power source. The Analog
Common potential of V+ - 3.0V gives a 7V end of battery life
voltage. The analog common potential has a voltage
coefficient of 0.001 %1%.
With a sufficiently high total supply voltage (V+ - V- >
7.0V), Analog Common is a very stable potential with
excellent temperature stability (typically 35ppm'°C). This
potential can be used to generate the TCB11 reference
voltage. An external voltage reference will be unnecessary
in most cases because of the 35ppm'°C temperature coefficient. See TCB11 Internal Voltage Reference discussion.

Decimal Point and Annunciator Drive

TEST (Pin 37)

The TEST pin is connected to the internally generated
digital logic supply ground through a 500n resistor. The
TEST pin may be used as the negative supply for eX1emal
CMOS gate segment drivers. LCD display annunciators for
decimal points, low battery indication, or function indication
may be added without adding an additional supply. No more
than 1 rnA should be supplied by the TEST pin. The TEST
pin potential is approximately 5V below V+.

Internal Voltage Reference
The TCBll Analog Common voltage temperature stability has been significantly improved. This improved device
can be used to upgrade old systems and design new
systems without eX1ernal voltage references. EX1ernal R
and C values do not need to be changed, however, noise
performance will be improved by increasing CAZ (See Auto
Zero Capacitor section). Fig 10 shows Analog Common
su I in the necessa volta e reference for the TCB".

The TEST pin potential is 5V less the V+. TEST may be
used as the negative power supply connection when interfacing the TCB11 to eX1ernal CMOS logic. The TEST pin is
tied to the internally generated negative logic supply through
a 500n resistor. The TEST pin may be used to sink up to
1rnA. See the applications section for additional information
on using TEST as a negative digital logic supply.
If TEST is pulled "HIGH" (V+) , all segments plus the
minus sign will be activated. Do not operate in this mode for
more than several minutes, because when TEST is pulled to
V+, the LCD Segments are impressed with a DC voltage
which may cause damage to the LCD.

The TC811 true differential input and differential reference make ratiometric readings possible. In ratiometric
operation, an unknown resistance is measured with respect
to a known standard resistance. No accurately defined
reference voltage is needed.
The unknown resistance is put in series with a known
standard and a current is passed through the pair (Figure
11). The voltage developed across the unknown is applied
to the input and the voltage across the known resistor
applied to the reference input. If the unknown equals the
standard, the input voltage will equal the reference voltage
and the display will read 1000. The displayed reading can
be determined from the following expression:

AUTO-RANGING ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER WITH 3-1/2 DIGIT AND
BAR-GRAPH DISPLAYS
TC818
GENERAL DESCRIPTION

ORDERING INFORMATION

The TC818 is a 2-chip integrating analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with 3-1/2 digit numeric and 40-segment bargraph LCD drivers, automatic ranging, and single 9V battery
operation. The TC818 chip set (consisting of the TC818A
and TC818D), combines the precision of a numeric display
with the quick recognition of a barilraph. The numeric
display is driven by the TC818A, which also includes the
ADC. The bar-graph display is driven by the TC818D.
The 40-segment bar-graph display provides "quicklook" perception of amplitude. Recognizing trends is also
easier with a bar-graph, making TC818-based instruments
valuable in nulling, tuning, calibration, and similar applications. On the other hand, the numeric display provides
0.05% resolution and a full set of annunciators that spell out
the TC818's many operating modes.
.
Automatic range selection is provided for both voltage
(DC and AC) and ohms (high and low power) measurements. Expensive and bulky mechanical range switches are
not required. Five full-scale ranges are available, with automatic selection of external volt/ohm attenuators over a 1 to
10,000 range. Two current ranges, 20 mA and 200 mA, can
be manually selected. The auto-range feature can be bypassed, allowing input attenuator selection through a single
line input.
During manual mode operation, resolution is extended
to 3000 counts full-scale. Extended resolution is also available during 2000 kQ and 2000V full-scale auto-range operation. The extended range operation is indicated by a flashing
1 MSD and by the fully~extended bar-graph.
The TC818 includes an AC-to-DC converter for AC
voltage and current measurements. Only external diodes/
reSistors/capacitors are required. Other features include a
memory mode, low-battery detection, display HOLD input,
and continuity buzzer driver.
The 3-1/2 digit numeric display includes a full set of
annunciators. Decimal points are adjusted as automatic or
manual range changes occur, and voltage, current, and
ohms operating modes are displayed. Additional annunciators are activated for manual, auto, memory, HOLD, AC,
low-power ohms, and low-battery conditions.
The TC818 is available in a surface-mounted chip set,
with the TC818A in a 50-pin flat package and the TC818D in
a 20-pin small outline (SO) package. Combining numeric
and bar-graph display drivers, single 9V battery operation,
internal range switching, and compact surface mounting,
the TC818 is ideal for advanced portable instruments.

THEORY OF OPERATION·
The TC818 consists of two CMOS integrated circuits.
The TC818A incorporates an auto-ranging ADC and drivers
for a 3-1/2 digit LCD, while the TC818D provides data
formatting and drivers for a 40-segment bar-graph display.
Both integrated circuits are required to form a complete
measurement system.
During each AID conversion cycle, data is transferred
from the TC818A to the TC818D. Therefore, the bar-graph
display will track the numeric (3-1/2 digit) display. The exact
relationship between numeric display counts and bar-graph
segments displayed is shown in Table I. Both displays are
updated at the same rate. When the TC818A is in its
extended resolution mode (3000 counts, maximum), the
bar-graph will display all 40 bars continuously.

will adjust the input voltage or ohms attenuators so that
measurements will always be made in the appropriate
range. Measurement ranges, logic control inputs, 3-1/2 digit
LCD formatting, and other features are identical to the
TC815 auto-ranging AID converter. However, the TC818A
is not pin-compatible with, and is not a replacement for, the
TC815.
A display annunciator output (ANNUNC) can be used to
customize the LCD. AN NUNC is a square wave at the
backplane frequency. Connecting an annunciator segment
to the ANNUNC driver turns the segment on; connecting the
segment to its backplane turns it off.

Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

The TC818D includes a counter and data latch, clock
divider, and triplex LCD bar-graph formatting and display
functions. A block diagram of the TC818D and connections
between the TC818A and TC818D is shown in Figure 2. The
TC818D does not require a separate power supply, since it
is powered from Vee and digital ground of the TC818A.

Bar-Graph Driver

The TC818A includes an integrating ADC with autoranging resolution of 2000 counts and manual range resolution of 3000 counts. Figure 1 shows a simplified schematic
of the analog section. In auto-ranging mode, internal logic

Interface Between TC818A and TC818D

When the TC818D DATA input goes to a logic high,
pulses are counted at the CLK input. A clock divider scales
clock pulses so that the number of LCD bar-graph segments
is proportional to the numeric display (see Table I).
When the DATA input goes low, the counter contents
are transferred toa display latch. Thenthe bar-graph counter
is reset to zero in preparation for the next AJD conversion
cycle.
The CLK input is also divided to produce the triplex LCD
drivers. The backplane and segment driver waveforms are
the same voltage levels as the TC818A. However, the
TC818D segment driver waveforms are less complicated
than those of the TC818A, because adjacent bar-graph
segments are either on or off.
The SYNC input permits synchronizing display backplanes. By connecting the ANNUNC output of the TC818A
to the SYNC input of the TC818D, the two sets of LCD

drivers will be synchronized. This feature permits the use of
an LCD with only one set of backplane drivers and saves
three pin connections to the display.
LCD backplane and segment drive voltages are set by
the voltage between Vcc and VOISP pins. In most cases,
VDlSP will be connected to GND and the LCD drive voltage
willbeabout5V.lfVolsP is not connected to GND, thenVolsP
of the TC818D must be connected to VOISP of the TC818A.

Data Transfer
Analog conversion results are transferred from the
TC818A to the TC818D via two pins, DEINT and XTAL1.
DEINT is a TC818A output with a pulse width proportional to
the analog voltage being measured. DEINT goes to a logic
high at the beginning of the TC818A deintegrate cycle, and
goes low atthecomparatorzero-crossing (end of conversion).

1-34

AUTO-RANGING ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER WITH 3-1/2 DIGIT AND
BAR-GRAPH DISPLAYS
TC818
Timing of the DEINT pulse width is derived from the
TC818A's XTAL 1 output, which provides a 32.768 kHz
clock. The number of clock pulses occurring while DEINT is
high determines the number of bar-graph segments displayed. The relationship between numeric display counts
and bar-graph segments is shown in Table I.

Resistance, Voltage, Current
Measurement Selection
The TC818 is designed to measure voltage, current,
and resistance. Auto-ranging is available for resistance and
voltage measurements. The OHM (pin 1) and T(pin SO) input
controls are normally pulled internally to Vcc.
By tying these pins to DGND (pin 55). the TC818 is
configured internally to measure resistance, voltage, or
current. The required signal combinations are shown in
Table II.

The TC818 can be configured to reliably measure incircuit resistances shunted by semiconductor junctions. The
TCB1810w-powerohms measurement mode limits the probe
open circuit voltage. This prevents semiconductor junctions
in the measured system from turning on.
In the resistance measurement mode, the Q/LOn (pin
59) input selects the low-power ohms measurement mode.
For low-power ohms measurements, Q/LOn (pin 59) is
momentarily brought low to digital ground potential. The
TC81B sets up for a low-power ohms measurement with a
maximum open circuit probe voltage of 0.35V above analog
common. In the low-power ohms mode, an LCD annunciator, LOn, will be activated. On power-up, the low-power
ohms mode is not active.
If the manual operating mode has been selected, toggling
Q/LOn resets the TC818 back to auto-range mode. In
manual mode, the decision to make a normal or low-power
ohms measurement should be made before selecting the
desired range.
The low-power ohms measurement is not available on
the 200n full-scale range. Open-circuit voltage on this range
is below 2.BV.
The standard resistance values are listed in Table III.

The TC818 measures resistance ratiometrically. Accuracy is set by the external standard resistors connected to
pins 33 through 37. A low-power ohms mode may be
selected on all but the 200n full-scale range. The low-power
ohms mode limits the voltage applied to the measured
system. This allows accurate "in-circuit" measurements
when a resistor is shunted by semiconductor junctions.
Full auto-ranging is provided. External precision standard resistors are automatically switched to provide the

on the accuracy of the external standard resistors.
Normally, the required accuracy of the standard resistances will be dictated by the accuracy specifications of the

Resistance Measurement Accuracy Set by External Standard Resistor

Voltage Measurement
Resistive dividers are automatically changed to provide
in-range readings for 200 mV to 2000V full-scale readings
(Figure 1). The input resistance is set by external resistors
R14/R13. The divider leg resistors are R9-R12. The divider
leg resistors give a 200 mV signal at VI (pin 42) for full-scale
voltages from 200 mV to 2000V.
For applications that do not require a 10 MW input
impedance, the divider network impedances may be lowered. This will reduce voltage offset errors induced by switch
leakage currents.

Current Measurement

at the current input (h, pin 43). For 20 mA measurements, a
10Q resistor is used. The 200 mA range requires a 1Q
resistor. Full scale is 200 mV
Printed circuit board trace resistance between analog
common and R16 must be minimized. In the 200 mA range,
for example, a 0.05Q trace resistance causes a 5% currentto-voltage conversion error at II (pin 43).
The extended resolution measurement option operates
during current measurements.
To minimize roll-over error, the potential difference
between ANALOG COM (pin 27) and system common must
be minimized.

AC-to-DC Measurements

The TC818 measures current only under manual range
operation. The two user-selectable, full-scale ranges are
20 mA and 200 mAo Select the current measurement mode
by holding the I input (pin 60) low at digital ground potential.
The OHM input (pin 1) is left floating or tied to the positive
supply.
Two ranges are possible. The 200 mA full-scale range
is selected by connecting the 20 mA input (pin 2) to digital
ground. If left floating, the 200 rnA full-scale range is selected.
External current-to-voltage conversion resistors are used

In voltage and current measurements, the TC818 can
be configured for AC measurements. An on-Chip operational
amplifier and external rectifier components perform the ACto-DC conversion.
When power is first applied, the TC818 enters the DC
measurement mode. For AC measurements (current or
voltage), AC/DC (pin 59) is momentarily brought low to
digital ground potential; the TC818 sets-up for AC measurements and the AC liquid crystal display annunciator activates. Toggling AC/DC low again returns the TC818 to DC
operation.

The maximum reference deintegratetime, representing
a full-scale analog input, is 3000 clock periods (or 183.1 ms)
during manual extended resolution operation. The 3000
counts are available in manual mode, extended resolution
operation only. In auto-ranging mode, the maximum deintegrate time is 2000 clock periods. The 1000 clock periods
are added to the auto-zero phase. An auto-ranging or
manual conversion takes 8000 clock periods. After a zero
crossing is detected in the reference deintegrate mode, the
auto-zero phase is entered.
Figure 5 shows the basic TC818 timing relationships.

If manual operating mode has been selected, toggling
AC/DC resets the TC818 back to auto-range mode. In
manual mode operation, AC or DC should be selected first,
then the desired range.
The minimum AC full-scale voltage range is 2V. The DC
full-scale minimum voHage is 200 mV.
AC current measurements are available on the 20 mA
and 200 mA full-scale ranges.

Conversion Timing
The TC818 uses the conventional dual-slope integrating conversion technique with an added phase that automatically eliminates zero offset errors. The TC818 gives a
zero reading with a OV input.
This device is designed to operate with a low-cost,
readily-available 32.768 kHz crystal. It serves as a timebase oscillator crystal in many digital clocks. (See extemal
crystal sources, page 18.)
The external clock is divided by two. The internal clock
frequency is 16.348 kHz, giving a clock period of 61.04 j.lS.
The total conversion - auto-zero phase, signal integrate,
and reference deintegrate - requires 8000 clock periods (or
488.3 ms). There are approximately two complete conversions per second.
The integration time is fixed at 1638.5 clock periods (or
100 ms), giving a rejection of 50/60 Hz AC line noise.

Manual Range Selection
The TC818's voHage and resistance auto-ranging feature can be disabled by momentarily bringing RANGE (pin
56) to digital ground potential (pin 55). When the change
from auto to manual ranging occurs, the first manual range
selected is the last range in the auto-ranging mode.
The TC818's power-up circuit initially selects autorange operation. Once the manual-range option is entered,
range changes are made by momentarily grounding the
RANGE control input. The TC818 remains in the manualrange mode until the measurement function (volta~r
resistance) or measurement option (ACIDC, ntLOQ)
changes, causing the TC818 to return to auto-ranging
operation.

The "Auto" LCD annunciator driver is active only in the
auto-range mode.
Figure 6 shows typical operation where the manual
range selection option is used. Also shown is the extended
resolution display formal.

Extended Resolution Manual Operation
When operated in the manual-range mode, the TC818
extends resolution by 50% for current, voltage, and resistance measurements. Resolution increases to 3000 counts
from 2000 counts. The extended resolution feature operates
only in the 2000 kQ and 2000V ranges during auto-range
operation.
In the extended resolution operating mode, readings
above 1999 are displayed with a blinking" 1" most significant
digit. The blinking "1" should be interpreted as the digit 2.
The three least significant digits display data normally. The
bar-graph LCD will be fully extended.
An input overrange condition causes the most significant digit (MSD) to blink and sets the three least significant
digits (LSDs) to display "000." The buzzer output is enabled
for input voltage and current signals with readings greater
than 2000 counts in both manual- and auto-range operations.

For resistance measurements, the buzzer signal does
not indicate an overrange condition. The buzzer is used to
indicate continuity. Continuity is defined as a resistance
reading less than 19 counts.

The -MEM mode is also cancelled whenever the measurement type (resistance, voltage, current, ACIDC,
WLOO) or range is changed. The LCD -MEM annunciator
will be off in normal operation.
In auto-range operation, if the following input signal
cannot be converted on the same range as the stored value,
the -MEM mode is cancelled. The LCD annunciator is
turned off.
The -MEM operating mode can be very useful in resistance measurements where lead length resistance would
cause measurement errors.

-MEM Operating Mode
Bringing-MEM (Pin 58) momentarily lowconfiguresthe
"-MEM" operating mode. The -MEM LCD annunciator
becomes active. In this operating mode subsequent measurements are made relative to the last two digits (:$; 99)
displayed at the time M EM is low. This represents 5% of fullscale. The last two significant digits are stored and subtracted from all the following input conversions.
A few examples clarify operation:

Automatic Range Selection Operation
When power is first applied, the TC818 enters the autorange operating state. The auto-range mode may be en'
tered from manual mode by changing the measurement
function (resistance or voltage) orby changing the measurement option (ACIDC, WLOO).
The automatic voltage range selection begins on the
most sensitive scale first: 200 mV for DC or 2V for AC
measurements. The voltage range selection flow chart is
given in Figure 9.
Internal input protection diodes to Vcc (pin 26) and Vss
(pin 54) clamp the input voltage. The external 10 MO input
resistance (see R14 and R13, Functional Diagram) limits
current safely in an overrange condition.
The voltage range selection is designed to maximize
resolution. For input signals less than 9% of full scale (count
reading <180), the next most sensitive range is selected.
An overrange voltage input condition is flagged, whenever the internal count exceeds 2000, by activating the
buzzer output (pin 3). This 4 kHz signal can directly drive a
piezoelectric acoustic transducer. An out-of-range input
signal causes the 4 kHz signal to be on for 122 ms, off for 122
ms, on for 122 ms, and off for 610 ms (see Figure 15).
Duringvoltage auto-range operation, the extended resolution feature operates on the 2000V range only. (See
extended resolution operating mode discussion.)
The resistance auto-range selection procedure is shown
in Figure 10. The 2000 range is the first range selected
unless the low ohms resistance measurement option is
selected. In low ohms operation, the first full-scale range
tried is 2 ill.
The resistance range selected maximizes sensitivity. If
the conversion results in a reading less than 180, the next
most sensitive full-scale range is tried.
lithe conversion is less than 19 in auto-range operation,
a continuous 4 kHz signal is output at BUZ (pin 3). An
overrange input does not activate the buzzer.

The low-battery detector is shown in Figure 11. The lowbattery annunciator is guaranteed to remain OFF with the
battery supply greater than 7V. The annunciator is guaranteed to be ON before the supply battery has reached 6.3V.

Triplex Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Drive
The TC818 directly drives a triplexed LCD using 1/3 bias
drive. All numeric data, decimal point, polarity, and function
annunciator drive signals are developed by the TC818A.
The bar-graph data are developed to the TC818D. A direct
connection to a triplex LCD is possible 'without external drive
electronics. Standard and custom LCDs are readily available from LCD manufacturers.
The LCDs must be driven with an AC signal having a
zero DC componEmt, for long display life. The liquid crystal
polarization is a function of the RMS voltage appearing
across the backplane and segment driver. The peak drive
signal applied to the LCD i,s:

An "OFF" LCD segment has an RMS voltage of Vp/3
acrossitor1V.An "ON" segment hasa 0.63 Vpsignal across
it or 1.92V for Vcc - VOISP = 3V.
Since the VOISP pin is available, the user may adjust the
"ON" and "OFF" LCD levels for various manufacturer's
displays by changipg Vp signal across it or 1.92V for VCCVOISP =3V.
"OFF" segments may become visible at high LCD
operating temperatures. A voltage with a -5 to -20 mV/oC
temperature coefficient can be applied to VOISP to accommodate the liquid crystal temperature operating characteristics, if necessary.
The TC818A and TC818D internally generate two intermediate LCD drive potentials (VH and VLl from resistive
dividers (FigurE! 12) between Vcc and VDlSP. The ladder
impedance is approximately 150 kil. This drive method is
commonly known as 1/3 bias. With VOISP connected to
, digital ground, Vp ~ 5V.
The intermediate levels are needed so that drive signals
giving RMS "ON" and "OFF" levels can be generated. Figure
13 shows a typical drive signal and the resulting waveforms
for "ON" and "OFF" RMS voltage levels across a selected
numeric LCD element.

Vcc - VOISP
For,example, if VOISP is set at a potential3V below Vcc,
the peak drive signal is:

"Buzzer" Drive Signal
The BUZ output (pin 3) will drive a piezoelectric audio
transducer. The signal is activated to indicate, an input
overrange condition for current and voltage measu rements
or continuity during resistance measurements.
During a resistance measurement, a reading less than
19 on any full-scale range causes a continuous 4 kHz signal
to be output. This is used as a continuity indication.
. . A voltage or current input measurement overrange is
Indicated by a noncontinuous 4 kHz signal at the BUZ
output. The LCD most significant digit also flashes and the
three least significant digits are set to display zero. The
buzzer drive signal for overrange is shown in Figure 15, The

!,

BUZ output is active for any reading over 2000 counts in both
manual and auto-range operation. The buzzer is activated
during an extended resolution measurement.
The B~Z si~nal swings from Vee (pin 26) to DGND (pin
55). The Signal IS at Vcc when not active.
The BUZ output is also activated for 15 ms whenever a
range change is made in auto-range or manual operation.
Ch~nging the type of measurement (voltage, current, or
resistance), or measurement option (AC/DC, WLOQ), also
acti.vates the buzzer output for 15 ms. A range change
dunng a current measurement will not activate the buzzer
output.

Typical PINs: 102-95NS, 101-FB-00

Integration Resistor Selection
The TC818 automatically selects one of two extemal
integration resistors. RVI BU F (pin 52) is selected for voltage
and current measurement. RWBUF (pin 51) is selected for
resistance measurements.

• Taiyo Yuden (USA) Inc.
Arlington Center
714 West Algonquin Road
Arlington Heights, Illinois 60005
Typical PINs: CB27BB, CB20BB, CB355BB

RVIBUF Selection (Pin 52)
In auto-range operation, the TC818 operates with a 200
mV maximum full-scale potential at VI (pin 42). Resistive
dividers at VR2 (pin 39), VR3(pin38), VR4(pin41), andVR5
(pin 40) are automatically switched to maintain the 200 mV
full-scale potential.
In manual mode, the extended operating mode is activated giving a 300 mV full-scale potential at VI (pin 42).
The integrator output swing should be maximized, but
saturations must be avoided. The integrator will swing within
0.45V of Vce (pin 26) and 0.5V of Vss (pin 54) without
saturating. A ±2V swing is suggested. The value of RVIBUF
is easily calculated, assuming a worst-case extended resolution input signal:

Display Decimal Point Selection
The TC818 provides a decimal point LCD drive signal.

RWBUF Selection (Pin 51)
In ratiometric resistance measurements, the signal at
Rx (pin 47) is always positive with respect to analog common. The integrator swings negative.
The worst-case integrator swing is for the 200Q range
with the manual, extended resolution option.
The input voltage, Vx (pin 47) is easily calculated
(Figure 16):

AC-to-DC Converter Operational Amplifier
The TC818 contains an on-chip operational amplifier
that may be connected as a rectifier for AC-to-DC voltage
and current measurements. Typical operational amplifier
characteristics are:
•
•
•
•

When the AC measurement option is selected, the input
buffer receives an input signal through switch S14 rather
than switch S11 (see Figure 1). With external circuits, the AC
operating mode can be used to perform other types of
functions within the constraints of the internal operational
amplifier. External circuits that perform true RMS conversion or a peak hold function are typical examples.

Reference Voltage Adjustment
The TC818 contains a low temperature drift internal
voltage reference. The analog common potential (pin 27) is
established by this reference. Maximum drift is a low 75
ppm/oC. Analog common is designed to be approximately
2.6V below Vcc (pin 26). A resistive divider (R18/R19.
Functional Diagram) sets the TC818 reference input voltage
(REFHI, pin 32) to approximately 163.85 mY.
With an input voltage near full scale on the 200 mV
range. R19 is adjusted for the proper reading.

Display Hold Feature
With a low battery voltage of 6.6V, analog common will
be approximately 3.6V above the negative supply terminal.
With the integrator swinging down from analog common
toward the negative supply, a 3.1 V swing will setthe integrator output to 0.5V above the negative supply.

Capacitors -

The LCD will not be updated when HOLD (pin 57) is
connected to GND (pin 55). Conversions are made. but the
display is not updated. A HOLD mode LCD annunciator is
activated when HOLD is low.
The LCD HOLD annunciator is activated through the
triplex LCD driver signal at pin 12.

CINT, CAZ and CREF

Flat Package Socket

The integration capacitor, CINT, must have low dielectric
absorption. A 0.1 llF polypropylene capacitor is suggested.
The auto-zero capacitor, CAZ, and reference capacitor.

TC820 (3-3/4 DIGIT)
TC821 (3-1/2 DIGIT)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC820 is a 3-3/4 digit measurement system combining an integrating analog-to-digital converter, frequency
counter, and logic level tester in a single 40-pin package.
The TC820 supersedes the TC7106 in new designs by
improving performance and reducing system cost. The
TC820 adds features that are difficult, expensive, or impossible to provide with older AID converters (see the competitive evaluation). The high level of integration permits TC820based instruments to deliver higher performance and more
features, while actually reducing parts count.
Fabricated in low-power CMOS, the TC820 directly
drives a 3-3/4 digit (3999 maximum) LCD. The TC821
includes all features of the TC820, but with a resolution of
3-1/2 digits (1999 maximum).
With a maximum range of 3999 counts, the TC820
provides 10 times greater resolution in the 200 mV to 400
mV range than traditional 3-1/2 digit meters. An auto-zero
cycle guarantees a zero reading with a OV input. CMOS
processing reduces analog input bias current to only 1 pA.
Rollover error, the difference in readings for equal magn~ude
but opposite polarity input signals, is less than ±1 count.
Differential reference inputs permit ratiometric measurements for ohms or bridge transducer applications.
The TC820's frequency counter option simplifies design of an instrument well-suited to both analog and digital
troubleshooting: voltage, current, and resistance measurements, plus precise frequency measurements to 4 MHz
(higher frequencies can be measured with an extemal
prescaler), and a simple logic probe. The frequency counter
will automatically adjust its range to match the input frequency, over a four-decade range.
Two logic level measurement inputs permit a TC820based meter to function as a logic probe. When combined
with external level shifters, the TC820 will display logic
levels on the LCD and also turn on a piezoelectric buzzer
when the measured logic level is low.
Other TC 820 features simplify instrument design and
reduce parts count. On-chip decimal point drivers are included, as is a low battery detection annunciator. A piezoelectric buzzer can be controlled with an external switch or
by the logic probe inputs. Two oscillator options are provided: A crystal can be used if high accuracy frequency
measurements are desired, or a simple RC option can be
used for low-end instruments.

A "peak reading hold" input allows the TC820 to retain
the highest AID or frequency reading. This feature is useful
in measuring motor starting current, maximum temperature, and similar applications.
A family of instruments can be created with the TC821
and TC820. No additional design effort is required to create
instruments with 3-1/2 and 3-3/4 digit resolution. The TC821
can also reduce parts count in existing high-end 71 06-type
designs.
The TC820 and TC821 operate from a single 9V battery,
with typical power of 10 mW. Packages include a 40-pin
DIP, 44-pin plastic flat package, and 44-pin PLCC.

FEATURES

GENERAL THEORY OF OPERATION

The TC820 and TC821 combine the features of an
analog-to-digital converter (ADC). frequen~y c?unter. and
logic probe. in a single CMOS-integrated circuIt. All of the
TC820 features are shown graphically in the functional
diagram. With on-chip voltage reference and LCD drive
circuitry. the TC820 simplifies the design of multi-mode
measurement instruments.
The TC820 has a resolution of 3-3/4 digits (3999
maximum). while the TC821 has a resolution of 3-1/2 digits
(1999 maximum). The features of both co~~erter~ are the
same. so that both 3-314 digit and 3-1/2 digit deSigns can
be produced with only one PC board design. The differences between the TC820 and the TC821 primarily affect
system timing. and are noted in the appropriate sections of
the data sheet.

Dual-Slope conversion Principles
The TC820 analog-to-digital converter operates on the
principle of dual-slope integration. An understanding of the
dual-slope conversion technique will aid the user in following
the detailed TC820 theory of operation following this section.
A conventional dual-slope converter measurement cycle
has two distinct phases:
(1) Input Signal Integration
(2) Reference Voltage Integration (Deintegration)
Referring to Figure 2. the unknown input signal to be
converted is integrated from zero for a fixed time period
(tiNT). measured by counting clock pulses. A constant
reference voltage of the opposite polarity is then integrated

conversion errors that plague successive approximation
converters in high-noise environments. Interfering signals,
with frequency components at multiples of the averaging
(integrating) period, will be attenuated (Figure 3). Integrating ADCs commonly operate with the signal integration
period set to a multiple of the 50/60 Hz power line period.

Analog Section
In addition to the basic integrate and deintegrate dualslope phases discussed above, the TC820 design incorporates a "zero integrator output" phase and an "auto-zero"
phase. These additional phases ensure that the integrator
starts at OV (even after a severe overrange conversion),
and that all offset voltage errors (buffer amplifier, integrator
and comparator) are removed from the conversion. A true
digital zero reading is assured without any external adjustments.
A complete conversion consists of four distinct phases:

tiNT

0

where: VREF = Reference voltage
tiNT
= Integration time
tOEINT = Deintegration time

(1)

(3)

For a constant tiNT:
VIN = VREF X

V~

TSC820 THEORY OF OPERATION

until the integrator output voltage returns to zero. The
reference integration (deintegration) time (T OEINT) is then
directly proportional to the unknown input voltage (VIN).
In a simple dual-slope converter, a complete conversion
requires the integrator output to "ramp-up" from zero and
"ramp-down" back to zero. A simple mathematical equation
relates the input signal, reference voltage, and integration
time:

Zero Integrator Output Phase
This phase guarantees that the integrator output is at
OV before the system zero phase is entered, ensuring that
the true system offset voltages will be compensated for
even after an overrange conversion. The duration of this
phase is 500 counts plus the unused deintegrate counts,
for both the TC820 and TC821.

tiNT

Accuracy in a dual-slope converter is unrelated to the
integrating resistor and capacitor values as long as they
are stable during a measurement cycle. An inherent benefit
of the dual-slope technique is noise immunity. Noise spikes
are integrated or averaged to zero during the integration
periods, making integrating ADCs immune to the large
1-58

DISPLAY AID CONVERTERS
WITH FREQUENCY COUNTER
AND LOGIC PROBE
TC820 (3-3/4 DIGIT)
TC821 (3-1/2 DIGIT)
Auto-Zero Phase
During the auto-zero phase, the differential input signal
is disconnected from the measurement circuit by opening
internal analog switches, and the internal nodes ate shorted
to Analog Common (OV ref) to establish a zero input condition. Additional analog switches close a feedback loop
around the integrator and comparator to permit comparator
offset voltage error compensation. A voltage established
on CAZ then compensates for intemal device offset voltages
during the measurement cycle. The auto-zero phase residual is typically 10 fJ.V to 15 fJ.V. The auto-zero duration is
1500 counts (750 counts for TC821).
Signal Integration Phase
Upon completion of the auto-zero phase, the auto-zero
loop is opened and the internal differential inputs connect
to VIN+ and VIN-. The differential input signal is then
integrated for a fixed time period, which is 2000 counts
(4000 clock periods) in the TC820, and 1000 counts (4000
clock periods) in the TC821. The externally-set clock
frequency is divided by two (TC820) or four (TC821) before
clocking the internal counters. The integration time period
is:
4000
tiNT = fosc
Note that for the same clock frequency, the TC820 and
TC821 have the same signal integration time. Therefore,
the noise rejection performance of the two converters will
be the same.
The differential input voltage must be within the device's
common-mode range when the converter and measured
system share the same power supply common (ground). If
the converter and measured system do not share the same
power supply common, as in battery-powered applications,
VIN- should be tied to analog common.
Polarity is determined at the end of signal integration
phase. The sign bit is a "true polarity" indication in that
signals less than 1 LSB are correctly determined. This
allows precision null detection that is limited only by device
noise and auto-zero residual offsets.
Reference Integrate (Deintegrate) Phase
The reference capacitor, which was charged during the
auto-zero phase, is connected to the input of the integrating amplifier. The internal sign logic ensures the polarity of
the reference voltage is always connected in the phase
opposite to that of the input Voltage. This causes the integrator to ramp back to zero at a constant rate determined
by the reference potential.
The amount of time required (TDEINT) for the integrating amplifier to reach zero is directly proportional to the
1-59

amplitude of the voltage that was put on the integrating
capacitor (VINT) during the integration phase:

System Timing
The oscillator frequency is divided by 2 (4 for TC821)
prior to clocking the internal decade counters. The fourphase measurement cycle takes a total of 8000 (4000)
counts or 16000 (16000) clock pulses. The 8000 (4000)
count phase is independent of input signal magnitude or
polarity.

Input Overrange
When the analog input is greater than full scale, the
LCD will display "OL" and the "OVER RANGE" LCD annunciator will be on.
Peak Reading Hold
The TC820 provides the capability of holding the highest (or peak) reading. Connecting the PK HOLD input
to Vs+ enables the peak hold feature. At the end of each

AND LOGIC PROBE

conversion the contents of the TC820 counter is compared
to the contents of the display register. If the new reading is
higher than the reading being displayed, the higher reading
is transferred to the display register. A "higher" reading is
defined as the reading with the higher absolute value.
The peak reading is held in the display register so the
reading will not 'droop" or slowly decay with time. The held
reading will be retained until a higher reading occurs, the
PK HOLD input is disconnected from Vs+, or power is removed.
The peak signal to be measured must be present
during the TC820 signal integrate period. The TC820 does
not perform transient peak detection of the analog input
signal. However, in many cases, such as measuring temperature or electric motor starting current, the TC820
"acquisition time' will not be a limitation. If true peak detection is required, a simple circuit will suffice. See the applications section for details.
The peak reading function is also available when the
TC820 is in the frequency counter mode. The counter auto~
ranging feature is disabled when peak reading hold is
selected.
10:1 Range Change
The analog input full-scale range can be changed with
the RANGEIFREQ input. Normally, RANGEIFREQ is held
low by an internal pulldown. Connecting this pin to Vs+ will
increase the full-scale voltage by a factor of 10. No extemal
component changes are required.
The RANGEIFREQ input operates by changing the
integrate period. When RANGEIFREQ is connected to
Vs+, the signal integration phase of the conversion is reduced by a factor of 10 (Le., from 2000 counts to 200
counts).
For the TC821 (3-1/2 digit) ADC, the RANGEIFREQ
input can be used to select between 200 mV and 2V full
scale. For the TC820, however, the 10:1 range change will
result in ±4V full scale. This full-scale range will exceed the
common-mode range of the input buffer when operating
from a 9V battery. If range changing is required for the
TC820, a higher supply voltage can be provided or the
input voltage can be divided by 2 externally.

The frequency counter derives its time base from the
clock oscillator. The counter time base is:
fosc
tCOUNT = 40 000
Thus, the counter will operate with a 1-second time
base when a 40 kHz oscillator is used. The frequency
counter accuracy is determined by the oscillator accuracy.
For accurate frequency measurements, a crystal oscillator
is recommended.
The frequency counter will automatically select the
proper range. Auto-range operation extends over four
decades, from 3.999 kHz to 3.999 MHz (1.999 kHz to 1.999
MHz for TC821). Decimal points are set automatically in
the frequency mode (Figure 5).
The logic switching levels of the RANGEIFREQ input
are CMOS levels. For best counter operation, an extemal
buffer is recommended. See the applications section for
details.

LogiC Probe
The TC820 can also function as a simple logic probe
(Figure 6). This mode is selected when the LOGIC input is
high. Two dual-purpose pins, which normally control the
decimal points, are used as logic inputs. Connecting either
input to a logic high level will turn on the corresponding
LCD annunciator. When the "low" annunciator is on the
buzzer will be on. As with· the frequency counter input,
external level shifters/buffers are recommended for the
logic probe inputs.
When the logic probe function is selected while FREQ/
VOLTS is low (AID mode), the ADC will remain in the autozero mode. The LCD will read "OL" and all decimal points
__
will be off (Figure 7).
If the logic probe is active while FREQ/VOLTS is high
(counter mode), the frequency counter will continue to
operate. 'rhe display will read "OL" but the decimal points
will be visible. If the logic probe input is also connected to
the RANGEIFREQ input, bringing the LOGIC input low will
immediately display the frequency at the logic probe input.

Analog Pin Functional Description
Differential Signal Inputs (VIN+), (VIN-)
The TC820 is designed with true differential inputs,
and accepts input signals within the input stage commonmode voltage (VCM) range. The typical range is Vs+ -1V to
Vs- +1.5V. Common-mode voltages are removed from the
system when the TC820 operates from a battery or floating
power source (isolated from measured system) and Vs- is
connected to analog common. (See Figure 8.)

Frequency Counter
In addition to serving as an analog-to-digital converter,
the TC820 internal counter can also function as a frequency counter (Figure 4). In the counter mode, pulses at
the RANGEIFREQ input will be counted and displayed.

Rgure 4. TC820 Counter Operation

In systems where common-mode voltages exist, the
86 dB common-mode rejection ratio minimizes error.
Common-mode voltages do, however, affect the integrator
output level. A worst-case condition exists if a large, positive VCM exists in conjunction with a full-scale, negative
differential signal. The negative signal drives the integrator
output positive along with VCM (Figure 9). For such applications, the integrator output swing can be reduced below
the recommended 2V full-scale swing. The integrator output will swing within O.3V of Vs+ or Vs- without increased
Ii nearity error.

The TC820 reference, like the analog signal input, has

sensors, such as load cells and temperature sensors.

Figure 7. LCD During Logic Probe Operation
To prevent roll-over-type errors from being induced by
large common-mode voltages, CREF should be large compared to stray node capacitance. A 0.1 JlF capacitor is
typical.
The TC820 offers a significantly improved analog
common temperature coeffICient, providing a very stable
voltage suitable for use as a voltage· reference. The
temperature coefficient of analog common is typically
35 ppml°C.

Analog Common
The analog common pin is set at a voltage potential
approximately 3.3V below Vs+. This potential is guaranteed to be between 3.15V and 3.45V below Vs+. Analog
common is tied internally to an N-channel FET capable of
sinking 3 rnA. This FET will hold the common line at 3.3V
below Vs+ should be an external load attempt to pull the
common line toward Vs+. Analog common source current
is limited to 12 1lA, and is therefore easily pulled to a more
negative voltage (Le., below Vs+ -3.3V).
The TC820 connects the internal VIN+ and VIN- inputs
to analog common during the auto-zero cycle. During the
reference. integrate phase, VIN- is connected to analog
common. If VIN- is not externally connected to analog
common, a common-mode voltage exists. This is rejected
by the converter's 86 dB common-mode rejection ratio. In
battery-powered applications, analog. common and VINare usually connected, removing common-mode voltage
concerns. In systems where VIN- is connected to the power
supply ground or to a given voltage, analog common should
be connected to VIN-.
The analog common pin serves to set the analog section
reference or common point. The TC820 is specifically
designed to operate from a battery or in any measurement

This input determines whether the TC820 is in the
analog-to-digital conversion mode or in the frequency
counter mode. When FREONOLTS is connected to Vs+, the
TC820 will measure frequency at the RANGE/FREQ input.
When unconnected, or connected to DGND, the TC820 will

system where input signals are not referenced (float) with
respect to the TC820 power source. The analog common
potential of Vs+ -3.3V gives a 7V end-of-battery-life voltage.
The analog common potential has a voltage coefficient of
0.001%/%.
With a sufficiently high total supply voltage (Vs+ - Vs> 7V), analog common is a very stable potential with
excellent temperature stability (typically 35 ppm/°C). This
potential can be used to generate the TC820 reference
Voltage. An external voltage reference will be unnecessary
in most cases, because of the 35 ppm/°C temperature
coefficient. See the applications section for details.

LOGIC
The LOGIC input is used to activate the logic probe
function. When connected to Vs+, the TC820 will enter the
logic probe mode. The LCD will show 'OL" and all decimal
points will be off. The decimal point inputs directly control
"high" and "low" display annunciators. When LOGIC is
unconnected, or connected to DGND, the TC820 will perform analog-to-digital or frequency measurements as selected by the FREONOLTS input. The LOGIC input has an
internal 5 !JA pull-down to DGND.

RANGEIFREQ
The function of this dual-purpose pin is determined by
the FREQ/VOLTS input. When FREQJVOLTS is connected

function. Pulses at this input are counted with a time base
equal to foscl40,OOO. Since this input has CMOS input
levels (Vs+ -1.5V and DGND +1.5V), an external buffer is
recommended.
When the TC820 analog-to-digital converter function is
selected, connecting RANGEIFREQ to Vs+ will divid~ the
integration time by 10. Therefore, the RANGE/FREQ Input
can be used to perform a 10:1 range change without
changing external components.

Additional Features
The TC820 and TC821 are available in 40-pin and 44pin packages. Several additional features are available in
the 44-pin package.
EOC/HOLD
EOC/HOLD is a dual-purpose, bidirectional pin. As an
output, this pin goes low for 10 clock cycles at th~ end of
each conversion. This pulse latches the conversion data
into the display driver section of the TC820.
EOC/HOLD can be used to hold (or "freeze") the display. Connecting this pin to Vs+ inhibits the display u~date
process. Conversions will continue, but the display will not
change. EOC/HOLD will hold the display reading for either
analog-to-digital or frequency measurements.
..
The input/output structure of the EOC/HOLD pin IS
shown in Figure 10. The output drive current is only a few
microamps, so EOC/HOLD can easily be overdriven by an
open-collector logic gate, as well as a FET, bipolar transistor or mechanical switch. When used as an output, EOC/
HOLD will have a slow rise and fall time due to the limited
output current drive. A CMOS Schmitt trigger buffer is
recommended.

Connecting the LOGIC input to Vs+ places the TC820
in the logic probe mode. In this mode, the DPO/LO and
DP1/HI inputs control the LCD "low" and "high" annunciators directly. When DP1/HI is connected to Vs+, the "high"
annunciator will turn on. When DPO/LO is connected to
Vs+, the "low" annunciator and the buzzer will turn on. The
internal pull-downs on these pins are disabled when the
logic probe function is selected.

These inputs have CMOS logic switching thresholds.
For optimum performance as a logic probe, external level
shifters are recommended. See the applications section for

The OR and UR outputs can be used to provide an

LCD drive voltage. See the applications information for

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Power Supplies

Digital ground is generated from an internal zener diode
(Figure 14). The voltage between Vs+ and DGND is the internal supply voltage for the digital section of the TC820.
DGND will sink a minimum of 3 mAo
DGND establishes the low logic level reference for the
TC820 mode select inputs, and for the frequency and logic
probe inputs. The DGND pin can be used as the negative
supply for external logic gates, such as the logic probe
buffers. To ensure correct counter operation at high frequency, connect a 1 JiF capacitor from DGND to Vs+.
DGND also provides the drive voltage for the LCD. The
TC820 40-pin package internally connects the LCD VDISP
pin to DGND, and provides an LCD drive voltage of about
5 Vp.p. In the 44-pin package, connecting the VDISP pin to
DGND will provide a 5V LCD drive Voltage.

Digital Input LogiC Levels

The TC820 is designed to operate from a single power
supply such as a 9V battery (Figure 12). The converter will
operate over a range of 7V to 15V. For battery operation,
analog common (COM) provides a common-mode bias
voltage (see analog common discussion in the theory of
operation section). However, measurements cannot be
referenced to battery ground. To do so will exceed the
negative common-mode voltage limit.

Logic levels for the TC820 digital inputs are referenced
to Vs+ and DGND. The high-level threshold is Vs+ -1.5V
and the low logic level is DGND +1.5V. In most cases,

digital inputs will be connected directly to Vs+ with a
mechanical switch. CMOS gates can also be used to
control the logic inputs, as shown in the logic probe inputs
section.

Clock Oscillator
The TC820 oscillator can be controlled with either a
crystal or with an inexpensive resistor-capacitor combination. The crystal circuit, shown in Figure 15, is recommended when high accuracy is required in the frequency
counter mode. The 40 kHz crystal is a standard frequency
for ultrasonic alarms, and will provide a 1-second time
base for the counter or 2.5 analog-to-digital conversions
per second. Consult the crystal manufacturer for detailed
applications information.
Where low cost is important, the R-C circuit of Figure
16 can be used. The frequency of this circuit will be approximately:
fose

l

••

Typical values are R = 10 kn and C = 68 pF. The resistor value should be ;;;.100 kn. For accurate frequency
measurement, an R-C oscillator frequency of 40 kHz is
required.

System Timing
All system timing is derived from the clock oscillator.
The clock oscillator is divided by 2 (4 for TC821) prior to
clocking the AID counters. The clock is also divided by 8 to
drive the buzzer, by 240 to generate the LCD backplane
freqUency, and by 40,000 for the frequency counter time
base. A simplified diagram of the system clock is shown in
Figure 17.

Component Value Selection
Auto Zero Capacitor - CAZ
The value of the auto-zero capacitor (CAz) has some
infl~ence on system noise. A 0.47 IlF capacitor is recommended; a low dielectric absorption capacitor (Mylar) is
required.
Reference Voltage Capacitor - CREF
The reference voltage capacitor used to ramp the integrator output voltage back to zero during the reference
integrate cycle is stored on CREF. A 0.1 IlF capacitor is
typical. A good quality, low leakage capacitor (such as
Mylar) should be used .

optimum when the analog input is near full scale. For 2.5
readings/second (fose = 40 kHz) and VFS = 400 mV, a
0.221lF value is suggested. If a different oscillator frequency
is used, CINT must be changed in inverse proportion to

In some applications, a scale factor other than unity
may exist between a transducer output voltage and the
required digital reading. Assume, for example, that a pressure transducer output is 800 mV for 4000 Ib/in2 . Rather than
dividing the input voltage by two, the reference voltage
should be set to 400 mV. This permits the transducer input
to be used directly.
The internal voltage reference potential available at
analog common will normally be used to supply the
converter's reference Voltage. This potential is stable
whenever the supply potential is greater than approximately
7V. The low-battery detection circuit and analog common
operate from the same internal reference. This ensures
that the low-battery annunciator will turn on at the time the
internal reference begins to lose regulation.
The TC820 can also operate with an external reference. Figure 18 shows internal and external reference
applications.

Ratiometric Resistance Measurements
The TC820 true differential input and differential reference make ratiometric readings possible. In ratiometric
operation, an unknown resistance is measured with respect to a known standard resistance. No accurately defined reference voltage is needed.
The unknown resistance is put in series with a known
standard and a current is passed through the pair (Figure 19). The voltage developed across the unknown is
applied to the input and voltages across the known resistor

Integrating Resistor - RINT
The input buffer amplifier and integrator are designed
with class A output stages. The integrator and buffer can
supply 40 j.iA drive currents with negligible linearity errors.
RINT is chosen to remain in the output stage linear drive
region but not so large that printed circuit board leakage
currents induce errors. For a 400 mV full scale, RINT should
be about 100 kn.

NOTE: Select Rl, R2, R3 for desired logic thresholds.

Backplane waveforms are shown in Figure 24. These
appear on outputs BP1, BP2, and BP3. They remain the
same regardless of the segments being driven.
Other display output lines have waveforms that vary
depending on the displays values. Figure 25 shows a set of
waveforms for the a, g, d outputs of one digit for several
combinations of "on" segments.

Figure 22. Window Comparator Logic Probe
The TC820 logic inputs are not latched internally, so
pulses of short duration will usually be difficult or impossible to see. To display short pulses properly, the input
pulse should be "stretched." The circuit of Figure 22 shows
capacitors added across the input pull-down resistors to
stretch the input pulse and permit viewing short-duration
input pulses.

The TC820 will hold the highest AJD conversion or
frequency reading indefinitely when the PK HOLD input is
connected to Vs+. However, the analog peak input must be
present during the AJD converter's signal integrate period.
For slowly changing signals, such as temperature, the
peak reading will be properly converted and held.
If rapidly changing analog signals must be held, an
external peak detector should be added. An inexpensive
circuit can be made from an op-amp and a few discrete
components, as shown in Figure 23. The droop rate of the
external peak detector should be adjusted so that the held
voltage will not decay below the desired accuracy level
during the converter's 400 ms conversion time.

The TC820 drives a triplex (multiplexed 3:1) LCD with
three backplanes. The LCD can include decimal points,
polarity sign, and annunciators for overrange, peak hold,
high and low logic levels, and low battery. Table IV shows
the assignment of the display segments to the backplanes
and segment drive lines. The backplane drive frequency is
obtained by dividing the oscillator frequency by 240.

The annunciator output is a square wave running
at the backplane frequency (for example, 167 Hz when
fose = 40 kHz). The peak-to-peak amplitude is equal to
(Vs+ - VOISP). Connecting an annunciatorofthe LCD to the
annunciator output turns it on; connecting it to its backplane
turns it off.

LCD Drive Voltage (VOISP)

','o~ ::::::::~------§ t-

The peak-to-peak LCD drive voltage is equal to (Vs+
- VOISP). In the 40-pin dual-in-line package (DIP), VOISP is
internally connected to DGND, providing a typical LCD
drive voltage of 5 Vp.p.
For applications with a wide temperature range, some
LCDs require that the drive levels vary with temperature to
maintain good viewing angle and display contrast. In this
case, the TC820 44-pin package provides a pin connection
for VOISP. Figure 27 shows TC820 circuits that can be
adjusted to give a temperature compensation of about
10 mVfOC between Vs+ and VOISP. The diode between GND
and V OISP should have a low turn-on voltage because V OISP
cannot exceed 0.3V below GND.

ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER
TC822
TC823
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC822 is a 3-314 digit LCD analog-to-digital converter ADC which operates from a single 3V battery. Product
designs utilizing the TC822 offer higher performance, lower
parts count and smaller size than 7106-based designs,
while the 3V battery permits a wide variety of packaging
options.
All active components necessary to construct a 0.025%
resolution measurement system are included on the TC822.
Only external resistors and capacitors, an LCD and a battery
are required.
The TC822 includes features which must be added
externally with ADCs such as the 7106. LCD decimal point
drivers, low-battery detection, and data hold function with
LCD annunciator are all on chip. No extemal exclusive-OR
gates are required. An operational amplifier, which can be
used for an AC-to-DC converter or resistance measurement
current source, is also included.
Differential signal inputs with 1 pA leakage simplify
system design. Differential reference inputs permit ratiometric
measurements, while retaining the data HOLD function.
Either the internal 1.3V band-gap reference or an external
reference can be used.
The TC822 LCD drive includes 3-3/4 digits, decimal
points, and HOLD and lOW-battery annunciators. Thetriplexed
LCD requires only 14 interconnects, which increases reliability and simplifies mechanical design.
Package options include a 40-pin 01 P and 44-pin plastic
leaded chip carrier (PLCC), and compact flat packages. The
many on-chip features of the TC822, combined with the

compact flat package and 3V battery, permit the design of
very small, high quality, economical instruments.
The TC823 offers all the features of the TC822, but with
a resolution of 3-1/2 digits.

FEATURES

GENERAL THEORY OF OPERATION

The TC822 and TC823 are high-resolution analog-todigital converters which include all ofthe active components
required to build a typical digital multi meter or other measurement instrument. The on-chip op-amp can be configured asa sensor amplifier, AC-to-DC converter, or resistance
measurement current source. The LCD includes decimal
points, low-battery detection, and data hold annunciators. A
DC-to-DC converter permits operation from a single 3V
battery. With on-chip voltage reference and LCD drive
circuitry, the TC822 simplifies the design of multi-mode
measurement instruments.
The TC822 has a resolution of 3-3/4 digits (3999,
maximum) while the TC823 has a resolution of 3-1/2 digits
(1999, maximum). The features of both converters are the
same, so that both 3-3/4 digit and 3-1/2 digit designs can be
produced with only one basic design. The differences between the TC822 and the TC823 primarily affect system
timing, and are noted in the ADC System Timing section of
the data sheet.

Dual-Slope Conversion Principles
The TC822 ADC operates on the principle of dual-slope
integration. An understanding of the dual-slope conversion
technique will aid the user in following the detailed TC822
theory of operation following this section. A conventional
dual-slope converter measurement cycle has two distinct
phases:
1) Input Signal Integration
2) Reference Voltage Integration (Deintegration)
Referring to Figure 2, the unknown input signal to be
converted is integrated from zero for a fixed time period
(tiNT), measured by counting clock pulses. A constant reference voltage of the opposite polarity is then integrated
until the integrator output voltage returns to zero. The
reference integration (deintegration) time (tOEINT) is then
directly proportional to the unknown input voltage (VIN).

Analog Section
In addition to the basic integrate and deintegrate dualslope phases discussed above, the TC822 design incorporates a 'Zero Integrator Output' phase and an 'Auto Zero'
phase. These additional phases ensure that the integrator
starts at zero volts (even after a severe over-range conversion) and that all offset voltage errors (buffer amplifier,
integrator and comparator) are removed from the conversion. A true digital zero reading is assured without any
external adjustments.
A complete conversion consists of four distinct phases:

FIXED
SIGNAL
INTEGRATE
TIME

Figure 2

Basic Dual-Slope Converter

In a simple dual-slope converter, a complete conversion
requires the integrator output to 'ramp-up' from zero and
'ramp-down' back to zero. A simple mathematical equation
relates the input signal, reference voltage and integration
time:

This phase guarantees that the integrator output is at
zero volts after an overrange input occurs. Thus, the next
reading after an overranged reading will be correct. The ZI
phase duration varies from 0 to 600 counts.

For a constant TINT:
VIN =V REF' toEINT
~NT

Accuracy in a dual-slope converter is unrelated to the
integrating resistor and capacitor values, as long as they are
stable during a measurement cycle. An inherent benefit of
the dual-slope technique is noise immunity. Noise spikes
are integrated, or averaged, to zero during the integration
periods, making integrating ADCs immune to the large
conversion errors that plague successive approximation
converters in high-noise environments. Interfering signals,
with frequency components at multiples of the averaging
(integrating) period, will be attenuated (see Figure 3). Integrating ADCs commonly operate with the signal integration
period set to a multiple of the 50/60 Hz power line period.

Auto Zero Phase
During the Auto Zero phase, the differential input signal
is disconnected from the measurement circuit by opening
internal analog switches and the internal nodes are shorted
to Analog Common (0 volt ref) to establish a zero input
condition. Additional analog switches close a feedback loop
around the integrator and comparator to permit comparator
offset voltage error compensation. A voltage established on
CAZ then compensates for internal device offset voltages
during the measurement cycle. The Auto Zero phase residual is typically 10 to 15 ~V. The Auto Zero duration is 1600
counts, plus the ZI counts if an overrange did not occur, plus
1-79

unused deintegration counts. Thus, the AZ phase can
occupy from 1600 to 6000 counts (600 to 3000 counts for
TC823).

count phase is independent of input signal magnitude or
polarity.
Each phase of the measurement cycle has the following
length:

Signal Integration Phase

Conversion Phase

Upon completion of the Auto Zero phase, the Auto Zero
loop is opened and the internal differential inputs connect to
VIN+ and VIN-. The differential input signal is then integrated
for a fixed time period, which in the TC822 is 2000 counts
(4000 clock periods) and in the TC823 is 1000 counts (4000
clock periods). The externally set clock frequency is divided
by two (TC822) or four (TC823) before clocking the internal
counters. The integration time period is:

Note that, for the same clock frequency, the TC822 and

the noise rejection performance of the two converters will be
the same.
Polarity is determined at the end of signal integration
phase. The sign bit is a 'true polarity' indication inthatsignals
less than 1 LSB are correctly determined. This allows
precision null detection which is limited only by device noise
and Auto Zero residual offsets.

ANALOG PIN FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Differential Signal Inputs (VIN+' VIN-)
The TC822 is designed with true differential inputs and
accepts input signals within the input stage common mode
voltage range (VCM). The maximum input voltage range,
which includes normal-mode + common-mode signals, is
±0.5V.

Reference Integrate (Deintegrate) Phase
The reference capacitor, which was charged during the
Auto Zero phase, is connected to the input of the integrating
amplifier. The internal sign logic insures that the polarity of
the reference voltage is always connected in the phase
which is opposite to that of the input voltage. This causes the
integrator to ramp back to zero at a constant rate which is
determined by the reference potential.
The amount of time required (tOEINT) for the integrating
amplifier to reach zero is directly proportional to the amplitude of the voltage that was put on the integrating capacitor
(VINT) during the integration phase:

Common-mode voltages are removed from the system
when VIN- is connected to Analog Common. The TC822's
on-chip DC-to-DC converter eliminates most common-mode
difficulties and permits measurements where measurement
and power grounds cannot be isolated. (see Figure 4)

exists if a large positive VCM exists in conjunction with a fullscale negative differential signal. The negative signal drives
the integrator output positive along with VCM (Figure 5). For
such applications the integrator output swing can be reduced below the recommended 1.5V full-scale swing. The
integrator output will swing within 0.3V of Vs+ orVs-without
increased linearity error.

systems where VIN- is connected to the power supply ground
or to a given voltage, Analog Common should be connecled
to VIN-.
The Analog Common pin serves to set the analog
section reference or common point. The TC822 is specifically designed to operate from a battery or in any measurement system where input signals are referenced to the
TC822 power source, so Analog Common is normally connected to power GND.

HOLD can be used to hold or 'freeze' the display.
Connecting this pin to Vs+ inhibits the display update process. Conversions will continue, but the display will not
change.

Reference Inputs (VREF+' VREF-)
The TC822 reference, like the analog signal input, has
true differential inputs. In addition, the reference voltage can
be generated anywhere within the power supply voltage of
the converter. The differential reference inputs permit
ratiometric measurements and simplify interfacing with sensors sljch as load cells and temperature sensors.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Power Supplies

This pin is the buffered output of the internal CMOS
band-gap reference. The output voltage is typically 1.3V
above power GND, with a load current of 25 (.IA. The
temperature coefficient of REFOUT is typically 50 ppm/°C.

The TC822 is designed to operate from a 3V battery, but
will operate over a range of 2.0 to 4.0V. An on-chip DC-toDC converter converts the +3V supply to -3V, which permits
bipolar input voltages to be converted. Measurements are
referenced to battery ground, so that the TC822/823 are
ideal for applications such as measuring battery voltage,
battery charging current, etc.

Analog Common

Op-Amp Power Supply Current

The TC822 connects the internal VIN+ and VIN- inputs to
Analog Common during the Auto Zero cycle. During the
reference integrate phase VIN- is connected to Analog
Common. If VIN- is not externally connected to Analog Common, a common-mode voltage exists. This is rejected by the
converter's 86 dB common-mode rejection ratio. In battery
powered applications, Analog Common and VIN- are usually
connected, removing common-mode voltage concems. In

The op-amp of the TC822 has a low-distortion class A
output, which is biased at 100!lA. To reduce supply current
when the op-amp is not being used, connect the noninverting input to Vs-, as shown in Figures 6 and 11. When
the op-amp is used, supply current will increase by about
200!lA.

cycle is stored on CREF. A 0.22 j.lF capacitor is typical. A good
quality, low leakage capacitor, such as polyester, should be
used.

I

CINT should be selected to maximize integrator output
voltage swing without causing output saturation. Analog
common will normally supply the differential voltage reference. For this case a ±1.5 V integrator output swing is
optimum when the analog input is near full-scale. For 2.5
readings/second (fosc=40 kHz) and VFS =400 mV, aO.27 j.lF
value is suggested. For a 32.768 kHz crystal, use 0.22 j.lF.
If a different oscillator frequency is used, CINT must be
changed in inverse proportion to maintain the nominal ±1.5V
integrator swing. An exact expression for CINT is:

Crystal Oscillator Circuit

System Clock
All system timing is derived from the clock oscillator. The
clock oscillator is divided by two (four for TC823) prior to
clocking the AID counters. The clock is also divided by 4 to
drive the DC-to-DC converter, and by 768 to generate the
LCD backplane frequency. A simplified diagram of the
system clock is shown in Figure 8.

C'NT must have low dielectric absorption to minimize

The size oft he Auto Zero capacitor (CAZ) has some effect
on system noise. A 0.22 j.lF capacitor is recommended. A
capacitor with low dielectric absorption (polyester) is required.

with class A output stages. The integrator and buffer can
supply 5 j.tA drive currents with negligible linearity errors.

region but not so large that printed circuit board leakage
currents induce errors. For a 400 mV full-scale, RINT should
be about 100 kil.

Reference Voltage Selection
A full scale reading (4000 counts for TC822 and 2000
counts for TC823) requires that the input signal be twice the
reference voltage. For example, a 400 mV full scale TC822
requires a reference voltage of 200 mV.
In some applications a scale factor other than unity may
exist between a transducer output voltage and the required
digital reading. Assume, for example, that a pressure transducer output is 500 mV for 4000 Ib/in2 . Rather than dividing
the input voltage by 1.25, the reference voltage should be
set to 250 mV. This permits the transducer input to be used
directly. For best results, full scale voltage should be limited
to 500 mV.
The TC822 can also operate with an external reference.
Figure 9 shows internal and external reference applications.

Ratiometric Resistance Measurements

The unknown resistance is put in series with a known
standard and a current is passed through the pair (Figure
10). The voltage developed across the unknown is applied
to the input and the voltage across the known resistor
applied to the reference input. If the unknown equals the
standard, the input voltage will equal the reference voltage
and the display will read 2000 (1000 for TC823). The
displayed reading can be determined from the following
expression:

= RUNKNOWN • 2000

The TC822 true differential input and differential reference make ratiometric readings possible. In ratiometric
operation, an unknown resistance is measured with respect
to a known standard resistance. No accurately defined
reference voltage is needed.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•

In many applications a graphical display is preferred
over a digital display. Knowing a processor system operates,
for example, within design limits is more valuable than a
direct system variable readout. A bar or moving dot display
supplies information precisely without requiring further interpretation by the viewer.
The TC826 is a complete analog-to-digital converter
with direct liquid crystal (LCD) display drive. The 40 LCD
data segments plus zero driver give a 2.5% resolution bar
display. Full-scale differential input voltage range extends
from20mV t02V. The TC826 sensitivity is 500 I1v. A low drift
35 ppm'°C internal reference, LCD backplane oscillator and
driver, input polarity LCD driver, and overrange LCD driver
make designs Simple and low cost. The CMOS design
required only 12511A from a 9V battery. In +5V systems a
TC7660 DC to DC converter can supply the -5V supply. The
differential analog input leakage is a low 10 pA.
Two display formats are possible. The BAR mode
display is like a 'thermometer' scale. The LCD segment
driver that equals the input plus all below it are on. The DOT
mode activates only the segment equal to the input. In either
mode the polarity signal is active for negative input signals.
An overrange input signal causes the display to flash and
activates the overrange annunciator. A hold mode can be
selected that freezes the display and prevents updating.
The dual slope integrating conversion method with
auto-zero phase maximizes noise immunity and eliminates
zero-scale adjustment potentiometers. Zero-scale drift is a
low 511V/oC. Conversion rate is typically 5 per second and
is adjustable by a single external resistor.
A compact, 0.5" square, flat package minimizes PC
board area. The high pin count LSI package makes multiplexed LCD displays unnecessary. Low cost, direct drive
LCD displays offer the widest viewing angle and are readily
available. A standard display is available now for TC826
prototyping work.

DUAL SLOPE CONVERSION PRINCIPLES
The TC826 is a dual slope, integrating analog-to--digital
converter. The conventional dual slope converter measurement cycle has two distinct phases:
• Input Signal Integration
• Reference Voltage Integration (Deintegration)
The input signal being converted is integrated for a fixed
time period (TSI). Time is measured by counting clock
pulses. An opposite polarity constant reference voltage is
then integrated until the integrator output voltage returns to
zero. The reference integration time is directly proportional
to the input signal (TRI). (Figure 2).
In a simple dual slope converter a complete conversion
requires the integrator output to 'ramp-up' and 'rampdown'.
A simple mathematical equation relates the input signal
reference voltage and integration time:

The dual slope converter accuracy is unrelated to the
integrating resistor and capacitor values as long as they are
stable during a measurement cycle. An inherent benefit is
noise immunity. Noise spikes are integrated or averaged to
zero during the integration periods. Integrating ADCs are
immune to the large conversion errors that plague successive approximation converters in high noise environments.
Interfering signals with frequency components at mUltiples
of the averaging period will be attenuated. (Figure 3.)
The TC826 converter improves the conventional dual
slope conversion technique by incorporating an auto-zero
phase. This phase eliminates zero-scale offset errors and
drift. A potentiometer is not required to obtain a zero output
for zero input.

offset voltage error compensation. The voltage level established on CAZ compensates for device offset voltages.
The auto-zero cycle length is 19 counts minimum.
Unused time in the deintegrate cycle is added to the autozero cycle.

In addition to the basic signal integrate and deintegrate
cycles discussed above, the TC826 incorporates an autozero cycle. This cycle removes buffer amplifier, integrator,
and comparator offset voltage error terms from the conversion. A true digital zero reading results without extemal
adjusting potentiometers. A complete conversion consists
of three cycles: an auto-zero, signal integrate and reference
cycle. (Figures 4 and 5.)

Signal Integration Cycle
The auto-zero loop is opened and the internal differential inputs connect to +IN and -IN. The differential input
signal is integrated for a fixed time period. The TC826 signal
integration period is 20 clock periods or counts. The externally set clock frequency is divided by 32 before clOCking the
internal counters. The integration time period is:

Auto-Zero Cycle
During the auto-zero cycle the differential input signal is
disconnected from the circuit by opening internal analog
gates. The internal nodes are shorted to analog common
(internal analog ground) to establish a zero input condition.
Additional analog gates close a feedback loop around the
integrator and comparator. This loop permits comparator

The differential input voltage must be within the device
common-mode range when the converter and measured
system share the same power supply common (ground). If
the converter and measured system do not share-lhe same
power supply CQmmon, -IN should be tied to analog-commono This is the usual connection for battery operated
systems. Polarity is determined at the end of signal integrate
signal phase. The sign bit is a true polarity indication in that
signals less than 1 LSB are correctly determined. This
allows precision null detection limited only by device noise
and system nQise.

cycle takes a total of 80 clock pulses. The 80 count cycle is
independent of input signal magnitude.
Each phase ofthe measurement cycle has the following
length:
• Auto-Zero Phase: 19 to 59 Counts
For signals less than full-scale the auto-zero is assigned the unused reference integrate time period.
• Signal Integrate: 20 Counts
This time period is fixed. The integration period is:

Reference InteQ/lIte Cycle
The final phase is reference integrate or deintegrate. IN is intemally CQnnected to analog common and +IN is
connected with the CQrrect polarity to cause the integrator
output to retum to zero. The time required for the output to
return to zero is proportional to the input signal and is
between 0 and 40 counts. The digital reading displayed is:

FOSC is divided by 32 to provide an internal system
clock, FYSY. Each conversion requires SO internal clock
cycles. The internal system clock is divided by 8 to provide
the LCD backplane drive frequency. The display flash rate
during an input out-of-range signal is set by dividing FSYS
by 320. (See Figure 9.)
The internal oscillator may be bypassed by driving OSCI
(Pin 12) with an external signal generator. OSC2 (Pin 13)
should be left unconnected.
The oscillator should swing from Vs+ to Vs- in single

signal should swing from power supply ground to Vs+.

This mode is useful for moving cursor or 'needle'

The input signal can be displayed in two formats (Rgure

DATA ACQUISITION ADC
TC835
GENERAL DESCRIPTION

ORDERING INFORMATION

The TC835 is a low-power. 4-1/2 digit (0.005% resolution). BCD analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that has been
characterized for 200 kHz clock rate operation. The five
conversions per second rate is nearly twice as fast as the
ICL7135 or TC7135.
The multiplexed BCD data output is perfect for interfacing to personal computers. The lOW-COst. greater than 14bit high-resolution. and 100 !LV sensitivity makes the TC835
the most cost-effective data converter available today.
The TC835 (like the TC7135) does not use the extemal
diode-resistor roll-over error compensation circuits required
by the ICL7135. This improves circuit density and simplifies circuit board layout.
The device incorporates "integrator output zero" and
"auto-zero" phases on each conversion cycle. guaranteeing a stable zero output for OV input. even when operated
at the higher clock rate.
Microprocessor-based data acquisition systems are
supported by the BUSY and STROBE outputs. along with
the RUN/HOLD input of the TC835. The overrange. underrange. busy. and run/hold control functions and multiplexed
BCD data outputs make the TC835 the ideal converter for
!LP-based scales and measurement systems and intelligent panel meters. (See Application Notes 16 and 17 for
microprocessor interface techniques.)
The TC835 interfaces with full-function LCD and LED
display decoder/drivers (TC7211A or TC7212A). The
UNDERRANGE and OVER RANGE outputs may be used
to implement an auto-ranging scheme or special display
functions.
This device is pin compatible with. and incorporates all
the features of. the popular TC7135 and ICL7135. The
performance of existing designs may be upgraded to faster
conversion rates by lowering the value of the integrating
capacitor and increasing the clock frequency (see "Component Selection").

The dual-slope converter accuracy is unrelated to the
integrating resistor and capacitor values, as long as they are
stable during a measurement cycle. An inherent benefit is
noise immunity. Noise spikes are integrated; or averaged, to
zero during the integration periods. Integrating ADCs are
immune to the large conversion errors that plague successive approximation converters in high-noise environments.

The TCB35 incorporates a system zero phase and
integrator output voltage zero phase to the normal twophase dual-slope measurement cycle. Reduced system
errors, fewer calibration steps, and a shorter overrange
recovery time result.
The TCB35 measurement cycle contains four phases:

Integrator Output Zero Phase

GENERAL THEORY OF OPERATION

(1) System zero

Dual·Slope Conversion Principles

(2) Analog input signal integration
(3) Reference voltage integration
(4) Integrator output zero

The TCB35 is a dual-slope, integrating analog-to-digital
converter. An understanding of the dual-slope conversion
technique will aid in following the detailed TCB35 operational theory.
The conventional dual-slope converter measurement
cycle has two distinct phases:

Intemal analog gate status for each phase is shown in
Table I.
C

(1) Input signal integration
(2) Reference voltage integration (deintegration)
The input signal being converted is integrated for a fixed
time period. Time is measured by counting clock pulses. An
opposite polarity constant reference voltage is then integrated until the integrator output voltage returns to zero. The
reference integration time is directly proportional to the input
signal.
In a simple dual-slope converter, a complete conversion
requires the integrator output to "ramp-up" and "rampdown."
A simple mathematical equation relates the input signal,
reference voltage, and integration time:

System Zero (Figure 3B)
During this phase, errors due to buffer, integrator, and
~omparator offset voltages are compensated for by chargIng CAZ (auto-zero capacitor) with a compensating error
voltage. With a zero input voltage the integrator output will
remain at zero.
The external input signal is disconnected from the
internal circuitry by opening the two SWI switches. The
internal input points connect to ANALOG COMMON. The
reference capacitor charges to the reference voltage potential through SWR. A feedback loop, closed around the
integrator and comparator, charges the CAzcapacitor with a
voltage to compensate for buffer amplifier, integrator, and
comparator offset voltages.
Analog Input Signal Integration (Figure 3C)
The TC835 integrates the differential voltage between
the +INPUT and -INPUT pins. The differential voltage must
be within the device common-mode range; -1 V from either
supply rail, typically.
The input signal polarity is determined at the end of this
phase.
Reference Voltage Integration (Figure 3D)
The previously-charged reference capacitor is connected with the proper polarity to ramp the integrator output
back to zero. The digital reading displayed is:

Integrator Output iero (Figure 3E)
This phase guarantees the integrator output is at OV
when the system zero phase is entered and that the true
system offset voltages are compensated for. This phase
normally lasts 100 to 200 clock cycles. If an overrange
condition exists, the phase is extended to 6200 clock cycles.

Analog Section Functional Description
Differential Inputs
(+INPUT, Pin 10 and -INPUT, Pin 9)
The TC835 operates with differential voltages within the
input amplifier common-mode range. The input amplifier
common-mode range extends from 0.5V below the positive
supply to lV above the negative supply. Within this common-mode voltage range, an 86 dB common-mode rejection ratio is typical.
The integrator output also follows the common-mode
voltage. The integrator output must not be allowed to saturate. A worst-case condition exists, for example, when a
large positive common-mode voltage with a near full-scale
~egati~e differ~ntial input voltage is applied. The negative
Input Signal drives the integrator positive when most of its
swing has been used up by the positive common-mode
Voltage. For these critical applications the integrator swing
can be reduced to less than the recommended 4V full-scale
swing, with some loss of accuracy. The integrator output can
swing within 0.3V of either supply without loss of linearity.
ANALOG COMMON Input (Pin 3)
ANALOG COMMON is used as the -INPUT return
during auto-zero and deintegrate. If-INPUT is differentfrorn
ANALOG COMMON, a common-mode voltage exists in the
system. This signal is rejected by the excellent CMRR of the
converter. In most applications, -INPUT will be set at a fixed,
kno~n v,oltage (power supply common, for instance). In this
appllcallon, ANALOG COMMON should be tied to the same
point, thus removing the common-mode voltage from the
converter. The reference voltage is referenced to ANALOG
COMMON.
REFERENCE Voltage Input (REF IN, Pin 2)
The REF IN input must be a positive voltage with respect
to ANALOG COMMON. Two reference voltage circuits are
shown in Figure 5.

RUN/HOLD tnput (Pin 25)
When left open, this pin assumes a logic "1" level. With
a R/H = 1, the TC835 performs conversions continuously,
with a new measurement cycle beginning every 40,002
clock pulses.
When R/H changes to a logic "0," the measurement
cycle in progress will be completed, and data held and
displayed as long as the logic "0" condition exists.
A positive pulse (>300 ns) at R/H initiates a new measurement cycle. The measurement cycle in progress when
R/H initially assumed the logic "0" state must be completed
before the positive pulse can be recognized as a single
conversion run command.

STROBE Output (Pin 26)
During the measurement cycle, the STROBE control
line is pulsed low five times. The five low pulses occur in the
center of the digit drive signals (0" 02, 03, Os, Figure 8).
Os (MSO) goes high for 201 counts when the measurement cycles end. In the center of the Os pulse, 101 clock
pulses after the end of the measurement cycle, the first
STROBE occurs for one-half clock pulse. After the Os digit
strobe, 04 goes high for 200 clock pulses. The STROBE
goes low 100 clock pulses after 04 goes high. This continues
through the 0, digit drive pulse.
The digit drive signals will continue to permit display
scanning. STROBE pulses are not repeated until a new
measurement is completed. The digit drive signals will not
continue if the previous signal resulted in an overrange
condition.
The active low STROBE pulses aid BCD data transferto
UARTs, processors and external latches. (See Application
Note 16.)
BUSY Output (Pin 21)
At the beginning of the signal-integration phase, BUSY
goes high and remains high until the first clock pulse afterthe
integrator zero crossing. BUSY returns to the logic "0" state
after the measurement cycle ends in an overrange condition. The internal display latches are loaded during the first
clock pulse after BUSY, and are latched at the clock pulse
end. The BUSY Signal does not go high at the beginning of
the measurement cycle, which starts with the auto-zero
cycle.
OVERRANGE Output (Pin 27)
If the input signal causes the reference voltage integration time to exceed 20,000 clock pulses, the OVERRANGE
output is set to a logic "1." The overrange output register is
set when BUSY goes low, and is reset althe beginning olthe
next reference-integration phase.
UNDERRANGE Output (Pin 28)
If the output count is 9% of full scale or less (!>1800
counts), the underrange register bit is set at the end of
BUSY. The bit is set low althe next signal-integration phase.

Strobe Signal Pulses Low Five Times per Conversion

The polarity bit is valid even for a zero reading. Signals
less than the converter's LSB will have the signal polarity
determined correctly. This is useful in null applications.
DIGIT Drive Outputs (Pins 12, 17, 18, 19 and 20)
Oigit drive signals are positive-going signals. The scan
sequence is Os to 0,. All positive pulses are 200 clock pulses
wide, except Os, which is 201 clock pulses wide.
All five digits are scanned continuously, unless an
overrange condition occurs. In an overrange condition, all
digit drives are held low from the final STROBE pulse until
the beginning of the next reference-integrate phase. The
scanning sequence is then repeated. This provides a blinking visual display indication.
BCD Data Outputs (Pins 13, 14,15 and 16)
The binary coded decimal (BCD) bits Ba, B4, B2, B" are
positive-true logic signals. The data bits become active
simultaneously with the digit drive signals. In an overrange
condition, all data bits are at a logic "0" state.

POLARITY Output (Pin 23)
A positive input is registered by a logic "1" polarity signal.
The polarity bit is valid at the beginning of reference integrate and remains valid until determined during the next
conversion.

APPUCATIONS INFORMATION

Component Value Selection
The integrating resistor is determined by the full-scale
input voltage and the output current of the buffer used to
charge the integrator capacitor. Both the buffer amplifier and
the integrator have a class A output stage, with 100 IJA of
quiescent current. A 20 IJA drive current gives negligible
linearity errors. Values of 5 IJA to 40 IJA give good results.
The exact value of an integrating resistor for a 20 IJA current
is easily calculated.

Line Frequency Rejection
A signal integration period at a multiple of the 60 Hz line
frequency will maximize 60 Hz "line noise" rejection.
A 200 kHz clock frequency will reject 60 Hz and 400 Hz
noise. This corresponds to five readings per second.

Integrating Capacitor
The product of integrating resistor and capacitor should
be selected to give the maximum voltage swing that ensures
the tolerance build-up will not saturate the integrator swing
(approximately 0.3V from either supply). For ±5V supplies
and ANALOG COMMON tied to supply ground, a ±3.5V to
±4Vfull-scale integrator swing isadequate. A 0.1 0 ILFto 0.47
ILF is recommended. In general, the value of CINT is given by:
CINT

The stability of the reference voltage is a major factor in
the overall absolute accuracy of the converter. For this
reason, it is recommended that a high-quality reference be
used where high-accuracy absolute measurements are
being made. Suitable references are:

A very important characteristic of the integrating capacitor is that it has low dielectric absorption to prevent rollover
or ratiometric errors. A good test for dielectric absorption is
to use the capacitor with the input tied to the reference. This
ratiometric condition should read half-scale 0.9999. any
deviation is probably due to dielectric absorption. Polypropylene capacitors give undetectable errors at reasonable
cost. Polystyrene and polycarbonate capacitors may also be
used in less critical applications.

Auto-Zero and Reference Capacitors
The size of the auto-zero capacitor has some influence
on the noise of the system. A large capacitor reduces the
noise. The reference capacitor should be large enough such
that stray capacitance to ground from its nodes is negligible.
The dielectric absorption of the reference capacitor and
auto-zero capacitor are only important at power-on, or when
the circuit is recovering from an overload. Smaller or cheaper
capacitors can be used if accurate readings are not required
for the first few seconds of recovery.

Reference Voltage
The analog input required to generate a full-scale output
is VIN = 2 VREF.

For many dedicated applications where the input signal
is always of one polarity, the delay of the comparator need
not be a limitation. Since the nonlinearity and noise do not
increase substantially with frequency, clock rates of up to
-1 MHz may be used. For a fixed clock frequency, the extra
count or counts caused by comparator delay will be a
constant and can be subtracted out digitally.
The clock frequency may be extended above 200 kHz
without this error, however, by using a low-value resistor in
series with the integrating capacitor. The effect of the
resistor is to introduce a small pedestal voltage on to the
integrator output at the beginning of the reference integrate
phase. By careful selection of the ratio between this resistor
and the integrating resistor (a few tens of ohms in the
recommended circuit), the comparator delay can be compensated and the maximum clock frequency extended by
approximately a factor of 3. At higher frequencies, ringing
and second-order breaks will cause significant nonlinearities
in the first few counts of the instrument.
The minimum clock frequency is established by leakage
on the auto-zero and reference capacitors. With most devices, measurement cycles as long as 10 seconds give no
measurable leakage error.
The clock used should be free from significant phase or
frequency jitter. Several suitable low-cost oscillators are
shown in the applications section. The multiplexed output
means that if the display takes significant current from the
logic supply, the clock should have good PSRR.

Zero-Crossing Flip-Flop

LCD

High-Speed Operation
The maximum conversion rate of most dual-slope AID
converters is limited by the frequency response of the
comparator. The comparator in this circuit follows the integrator ramp with a 31J-S delay, and at a clock frequency of
200 kHz (5 IJ-S period), half of the first reference integrate
clock period is lost in delay. This means that the meter
reading will change from Oto 1 with a50l1Vinput, 1 t02 with
150 I1V, 2 to 3 at 250 I1V, etc. This transition at mid-point is
considered desirable by most users; however, if the clock
frequency is increased appreciably above 200 kHz, the
instrument will flash "1" on noise peaks even when the input
is shorted.

The flip-flop interrogates the data once every clock
pulse after the transients of the previous clock pulse and
half-clockpulse have died down. False zero-crossingscaused
by clock pulses are not recognized. Of course, the flip-flop
delays the true zero-crossing by up to one count in every
instance, and if a correction were not made, the display
would always be one count too high. Therefore, the counter
is disabled for one clock pulse at the beginning of the
reference integrate (deintegrate) phase. This one-count
delay compensates for the delay of the zero-crossing flipflop, and allows the correct number to be latched into the
display. Similarly, a one-count delay at the beginning of
auto-zero gives an overload display of 0000 instead of 0001.
No delay occurs during signal integrate, sothat true ratiometric
readings result.

General Theory of Operation
Dual Slope Conversion PrinCiples

where:

The TC71 06A and TC71 07A are dual slope, integrating
analog-to-digital converters. An understanding of the dual
slope conversion technique will aid in following the detailed
operation theory.
The conventional dual slope converter measurement
cycle has two distinct phases:

VA = Reference Voltage
T SI = Signal Integration Time (Fixed)
TAl = Reference Voltage Integration Time (Variable)
For a constant V,N:

TAl

V,N=VA TSI

Input Signal Integration
Reference Voltage Integration (Deintegration)
The input signal being converted is integrated for a fixed
time period (Tsl). Time is measured by counting clock
pulses. An opposite polarity constant reference voltage is
then integrated until the integrator output voltage retums to
zero. The reference integration time is directly proportional
to the input signal (TAl). (Figure 3A).
In a simple dual slope converter a complete conversion
requires the integrator output to "ramp-up" and "rampdown."
A simple mathematical equation relates the input signal,
reference voltage and integration time:

TC71 06n1 06A
TC7107n107A
The dual slope converter accuracy is unrelated to the
integrating resistor and capacitor values as long as they are
stable during a measurement cycle. An inherent benefit is
noise immunity. Noise spikes are integrated or averaged to
zero during the integration periods. Integrating ADCs are
immune to the large conversion errors that plague successive approximation converters in high noise environment.
Interfering signals with frequency components at multiples
of the averaging period will be attenuated. Integrating ADCs
commonly operate with the signal integration period set to a
muHiple of the 50/60 Hz power line period. (Figure 3B)

Signal Integrate Cycle
The auto-zero loop in opened, the internal differential
inputs connect to YiN and YiN. The differential input signal is
integrated for a fixed time period. The signal integration
period is 1000 counts. The externally set clock frequency is
divided by four before clocking the internal counters. The
integration time period is:

"the differential input voltage must be within the device
common-mode range (1 V of either supply) when the converter and measured system share the same power supply
common (ground). If the converter and measured system do
not share the same power supply common, YiN should be
tied to analog common.
Polarity is determined at the end of signal integrate
phase. The sign bit is a true polarity indication in that signals
less than 1 LSB are correctly determined. This allows
precision null detection limited only by device noise and
auto-zero residual offsets.

Normal-Mode Rejection of Dual Slope Converter

Analog Section
In addition to the basic signal integrate and deintegrate
cycles discussed, the circuit incorporates an auto-zero
cycle. This cycle removes buffer amplifier, integrator, and
comparator offset voltage error terms from the conversion.
A true digital zero reading results without external adjusting
potentiometers. A complete conversion consists of three
cycles: an auto zero, signal integrate and reference integrate cycle.

Auto-Zero Cycle
During the auto-zero cycle the differential input signal is
disconnected from the circuit by opening· internal analog
gates. The internal nodes are shorted to analog common
(ground) to establish a zero input condition. Additional
analog gates close a feedback loop around the integrator
and comparator. This loop permits comparator offset voltage error compensation. The voltage level established on
CAZ compensates for device offset Voltages. The offset error
referred to the input is less than 10 ~V.
The auto-zero cycle length is 1000 to 3000 counts.

The final phase is reference integrate or de-integrate.
YiN is internally connected to analog common and Vi\iJ is
connected across the previously charged reference capacitor. Circuitry within the chip ensures thatthe capacitor will be
connected with the correct polarity to cause the integrator
output to return to zero. The time required for the output to
return to zero is proportional to the input signal and is
between 0 and 2000 counts. The digital reading displayed is:
1000x VVIN

REF

Digital Section (TC7106A)
The TC71 06A (Figure 5) contains all the segment drivers necessary to directly drive a 3 1/2 digit liquid crystal
display (LCD). An LCD backplane driver is included. The
backplane frequency is the external clock frequency divided
by 800. For three conversions/second the backplane frequency is 60 Hz with a 5 V nominal amplitude. When a
segment driver is in phase with the backplane signal the
segment is "OFF." An out of phase segment drive signal
causes the segment to be "ON" or visible. This AC drive
configuration results in negligible DC voltage across each
LCD segment. This insures long LCD display life. The
polarity segment driver is "ON" for negative analog inputs. If
Vi\iJ and YiN are reversed this indicator would reverse.

requires a 200 mV full-scale increase CREF to 1.0 JJ.F.
Rollover error will be held to less than 0.5 count. A mylar type

Integrating Capacitor - CINT

Oscillator Components

CINT should be selected to maximize integrator output
voltage swing without causing output saturation. Due to the
TC71 06A171 07A superior analog common temperature
coefficient specification, analog common will normally supply the differential voltage reference. For this case a±2 V fullscale integrator output swing is satisfactory. For3 readings/
second (fosc = 48 kHz) a 0.22 f.1F value is suggested. If a
different oscillator frequency is used CINT must be changed
in inverse proportion to maintain the nominal ±2 V integrator
swing.
An exact expression for CINT is:

Rosc (Pin 40 to Pin 39) should be 100 kil. Cosc is
selected from the equation:

(4000) (_1_)( VFS )
CINT = _ _ _ _fo_s_C__R_I_NT_
VINT
Where:
fosc = Clock frequency at Pin 38
VFS = Full-scale input voltage
RINT = Integrating resistor
VINT = Desired full-scale integrator output swing

The input buffer amplifier and integrator are designed
with class A output stages. The output stage idling current is
100 f.1A. The integrator and buffer can supply 20 f.1A drive
currents with negligible linearity errors. RINT is chosen to
remain in the output stage linear drive regionbut not so large
that printed circuit board leakage currents induce errors. For
a 200 mV full-scale RINT is 47 kil. A 2.0 V full-scale requires
470 kil.

For fosc of 48 kHz, Cosc is 100 pF nominally.
Notethatfosc is divided byfourto generate the TC71 06A
internal control clock. The backplane drive signal is derived
by dividing fosc by 800.
To achieve maximum rejection of 60 Hz noise pickup,
the signal integrate period should be a multiple of 60 Hz.
Oscillator frequencies of 240 kHz, 120 kHz, 80 kHz, 60 kHz,
40 kHz, 33 1/3 kHz, etc. should be selected. For 50 Hz
rejection, oscillator frequencies of 200 kHz, 100 Khz,
66213 kHz, 50 kHz, 40 kHz, etc. would be suitable. Note that
40 kHz (2.5 readings/second) will reject both 50 and 60 Hz

In some applications a scale factor other than unity may
exist between a transducer output voltage and the required
digital reading. Assume, for example, a pressure transducer
output is 400 mV for 2000 Iblin2 . Rather than dividing the
input voltage by two the reference voltage should be set to
200 mY. This permits the transducer input to be used
directly.
The differential reference can also be used when a
digital zero reading is required when VIN is not equal to zero.
This is common in temperature measuring instrumentation.
A compensating offset voltage can be applied between

analog common will normally be used to supply the converters reference. This potential is stable whenever the supply
potential is greater than approximately 7 V. In applications
where' externally generated reference voltage is desired

The TC7106A17017A is designed with true differential
inputs and accepts input signals within the input stage
common mode voltage range (VCM). The typical range is V+
-1.0 to V- + 1 V. Common-mode voltages are removed from
the system when the TC71 06A1TC71 07A operates from a
battery or floating power source (isolated from measured
system) and VjN is connected to analog common (VCOM):
See Figure 10.
In systems where common-mode voltages exist in
86 dB common-mode rejection ratio minimizes error. Common-mode voHages do, however, affect the integrator output level. Integrator output saturation must be prevented. A
worse case condition exists if a large positive VCM exists in
conjunction with a full-scale negative differential signal. The
negative signal drives the integrator output positive along
with VCM (Figure 11). For such applications the integrator

Swing. (VCOM VIN)

*

Differential Reference
(VREF (Pin 36), VREF (Pin 35))
The reference voHage can be generated anywhere
within the V+ to V- power supply range.
To prevent rollover type errors being induced by large
common-mode voltages CREF should be large compared to
stray node capacitance.
The TC71 06A1TC71 07A circuits have significantly lower
analog common temperature coefficient. This potential gives
a very stable voHage suitable for use as a voHage reference.
The temperature coefficient of analog common is 20 ppm/DC
typically.

Analog Common (Pin 32)
The analog common pin is set at a voltage potential
approximately 3.0 V below V+. The potential is guaranteed
to be between 2.7 V and 3.35 V below V+ Analog common
is tied internally to the N channel FET capable of sinking 20
mAo This FET will hold the common line at 3.0 V should an
external load attempt to pull the common line toward V+
Analog common source current is limited to 10 j..LA. Analog
common is therefore easily pulled to a more negative
voltage (i.e., below V+ -3.0 V).
The TC71 06A connects the internal YiN and YiN inputs
to analog comrnon during the auto-zero cycle. During the
reference integrate phase YiN is connected to analog common. If YiN is not externally connected to analog common,
a common-mode voltage exists. This is rejected by 'the
converters 86 dB common-mode rejection ratio. In battery
operation analog common and YiN are usually connected
removing common-rnode voltage concerns. In systems where
YiN is connected to the power supply ground or to a given
voltage, analog common should be connected to YiN.
The analog common pin serves to set the analog section
reference or common point. The TC7106A is specifically
designed to operate from a battery or in any measurement
system where input signals are not referenced (float) with
respect to the TC71 06A power source. The analog common
potential of V+ -3.0 V gives a 6 Vend of battery life Voltage.
The common potential has a 0.001 %/% voltage coefficient
and a 15 12 output impedance.
With sufficiently high total supply voltage (V+ -V- >
7.0 V) analog cornmon is a very stable potential with excel-

lent temperature stability-typically 20 ppm/°C. This potential can be used to generate the reference voltage. An
external voltage reference will be unnecessary in most
cases because of the 50 ppm/°C maximum temperature
coefficient. See Internal Voltage Reference discussion.

Test (Pin 37)
The test pin potential is 5 V less than V+. Test may be
used as the negative power supply connection for external
CMOS logic. The test pin is tied to the internally generated
negative logic supply (Internal Logic Ground) through a
50012 resistor in the TC71 06A. The test pin load should be
no more than 1mA .
Iftest is pulled to V+ all segments plus the minus sign will
be activated. Do not operate in this mode for more than
several minutes with the TC71 06A. With Test = V+ the LCD
Segments are impressed with a DC voltage which will
destroy the LCD.
The test pin will sink about 10 rnA when pulled to V+.

Internal Voltage Reference Stability
The analog common voltage temperature stability has
been significantly improved (Figure 12). The "A" version of
the industry standard circuits allow users to upgrade old
systems and design new systems without external voltage
references. External Rand C values do not need to be
changed. Figure 13 shows analog common supplying the
necessary voltage reference for the TC71 06A1TC71 07 A.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC7116A and TC7117A feature a precision, lowdrift internal reference, and are functionally identical to the
TC71161TC7117. A low-drift external reference is not
normally required with the TC7116A!TC7117A.
The TC7116A!TC7117A are 3-1/2 digit CMOS analogto-digital converters (AOCs) containing all the active
components necessary to construct a 0.05% resolution
measurement system. Seven-segment decoders, polarity
and digit drivers, voltage reference, and clock circuit are
integrated on-chip. The TC7116A drives liquid crystal
displays (LCOs) and includes a backplane driver. The
TC7117A drives common anode light emitting diode (LED)
displays directly with an S-mA drive current per segment.
These devices incorporate a display hold (HLDR)
function. The displayed reading remains indefinitely, as
long as HLDR is held high. Conversions continue, but
output data display latches are not updated. The reference
low input (VREF) is not available as it is with the TC71 061
7107. VREF is tied internally to analog common in the
TC7116A17117A devices.

The TC7116A17117A reduces linearity error to less
than 1 count. Roll-over error (the difference in readings for
equal magnitude but opposite polarity input signals) is
below ±1 count. High-impedance differential inputs offer 1
pA leakage current and a 10120 input impedance. The 15
~Vp_p noise performance guarantees a "rock solid" reading.
The auto-zero cycle guarantees a zero display reading with
aOVinput.
The TC7116A17117A dual-slope conversion technique
automatically rejects interference signals if the converter's
integration time is set to a multiple 'of the interference
period. This is especially useful in industrial measurement
environments where 50-Hz, 60-Hz, and 400-Hz line
frequency signals are present.
The TC7116A17117A are available in a small, 60-pin
flat package for compact designs. Standard devices are
offered in an industrial temperature range and with 160hour burn-in at +125°C.

Reference Integrate Phase

Figure 3 shows the block diagram of the analog section
for the TC7116/TC7116A and TC71171TC7117A. Each
measurement !::y<:le j~ diVideg into three phases: (1) auto;zero (A·Z) , (2) signal integrate (IND, and (3) reference
integrate (REF) or deintegrate (DE).

The final phase is reference integrate, or deintegrate.
Input low is internally connected to analog common and
input high is connected across the previously charged
reference capacitor. Circuitry within the chip ensures that
the capacitor will be connected with the correct polarity to
cause the integrator output to return to zero. The time
required for the output to return to zero is proportional to
the input signal. The digital reading displayed is:

Auto-Zero Phase
High and low inputs are disconnected from the pins
and internally shorted to analog common. The reference
capacitor is charged to the reference voltage. A feedback
loop is closed around the system to charge the auto-zero
capacitor (CA;z) to compenSllte for offset voltages in the
buffer amplifier, integrator, and comparator. Since the comparator is included in the loop, A-Z accuracy is limited only
by system noise. The offset referred to the input is less
than 10 ltV.

1000x

VREF

Reference
The positive reference voltage (V+REF) is referenced to
analog common.

Differential Input
Signal-Integrate Phase
The auto-zero loop is opened, the internal short is
removed, and the internal high and low inputs are connected to the external pins. The converter then integrates
the differential voltages between V'iN and VIN for a fixed
time. This differential voltage can be within a wide common-mode range; 1Vof either supply. However, if the input
signal has no return with respect to the converter power
supply, VIN can be tied to analog common to establish the
correct common-mode voltage. At the end of this phase,
the polarity of the integrated signal is determined.
1-141

This input can accept differential voltages anywhere
within the common-mode range of the input amplifier or,
specifically, from 1V below the positive supply to 1V above
the negative supply. In this range, the system has a CMRR
of 86 dB, typical. However, since the integrator also swings
with the common-mode voltage, care must be exercised to
ensure the integrator output does not saturate. A worstcase condition would be a large, positive common-mode
voltage with a near full-scale negative differential input
voltage. The negative-input signal drives the integrator
positive when most of its swing has been used up by the

Analog Common

TC7116
TC7116A

This pin is included primarily to set the common-mode
voltage for battery operation (TC7116ITC7116A) or for any
system where the input signals are floating with respect to
the power supply. The analog common pin sets a voltage
approximately 2.SV more negative than the positive supply.
This is selected to give a minimum end-of-life battery voltage
of about 6V. However, analog common has some attributes
of a reference voltage. When the total supply voltage is large
enough to cause the zener to regulate (>7V), the analog
common voltage will have a low voltage coefficient (0.001 %/
%), low output impedance (=150.), and a temperature
coefficient of less than 20 ppm/°C, typically, and 50 ppm
maximum. The TC7116ITC7117 temperature coefficients
are typically so ppm/°C.
An external reference may be used, if necessary, as
shown in Figure 4.
Analog common is also used as VIN return during autozero and deintegrate. If VjN is different from analog common,
a common-mode voltage exists in the system and is taken
care of by the excellent CMRR of the converter. However, in
some applications, VjN will be set at a fixed, known voltage
(power supply common for instance). In this application,
analog common should be tied to the same point, thus
removing the common-mode voltage from the converter.
The same holds true for the reference voltage; if it can be
conveniently referenced to analog common it should be,
since this removes the common-mode voltage from the
reference system.
Within the IC, analog common is tied to an N-channel
FET that can sink 30 mA or more of current to hold the
voltage 3V below the positive supply (when a load is trying

to pull the analog common line positive). However, there is
only 10 ~ of source current, so analog common may easily
be tied to a more negative voltage, thus overriding the
internal reference.

Test
The test pin serves two functions. On the TC7117!
TC7117A, it is coupled to the internally-generated digital
supply through a 5000. resistor. Thus, it can be used as a

TC7116A
negative supply for extemally-generated segment drivers,
such as decimal points or any other presentation the user
may want to include on the LCD. (Figures 5 and 6 show
such an application.) No more than a 1 mA load should be
applied.
The second function is a "lamp test." When test is pulled
high (to V+), all segments will be tumed on and the display
should read -1888. The test pin will sink about 10 mA under
these conditions.

DIGITAL SECTION
Figures 8 and 9 show the digital section for TC71161
TC7116A and TC7117ITC7117A, respectively. For the
TC7116ITC7116A (Figure 8), an intemal digital ground is
generated from a 6V zener diode and a large P-channel
source follower. This supply is made stiff to absorb the

relative large capacitive currents when the backplane (BP)
voltage is switched. The BP frequency is the clock frequency +800. For 3 readings per second, this is a 60-Hz
square wave with a nominal amplitude of 5V. The segments
are driven at the same frequency and amplitude, and are inphase with 8P when OFF, but out-of-phase when ON. In all
cases, negligible DC voltage exists across the segments.
Figure 9 is the digital section of the TC7117ITC7117A. It
is identical to the TC71161TC7116A, except the regulated
supply and BP drive have been eliminated, and the segment
drive is typically 8 rnA. The 1OOO'soutput (pin 19) sinks current
from two LED segments, and has a 16-rnA drive capability.
The TC7117ITC7117A are designed to drive common anode
LED displays.
In both devices, the polarity indication is ON for analog
inputs. If VjN and VtN are reversed, this indication can be
reversed also, if desired.

System Timing
The clocking method used for the TC7116/TC7116A
and TC7117ITC7117A is shown in Figure 9. Three clocking
methods may be used:
(1) An external ()l;cillator connected to pin 40.
(2) A crystal between pins 39 and 40.
(3) An RC network using all three pins.
The oscillator frequency is +4 before it clocks the
decade counters. It is then further divided to form the three
convert-.cycle phases: signal integrate (1000 counts). reference delntegrate (0 to 2000 counts). and auto-zero (1 000 to
3000 counts). For signals less than full scale. auto-zero gets
the unused portion of reference deintegrate. This makes a
~omplete mea~ure cycle of 4000 (16.000 clock pulses)
Independent of Input voltage. For 3 readings per second an
oscillator frequency of 48 kHz would be used.

COMPONENT VALUE SELECTION
Auto-Zero Capacitor
The size of the auto-zero capacitor has some. influence
on system noise. For200 mV full scale, where noise is very
important, a 0.47 IlF capacitor is recommended. On the 2V
scale, a 0.047 IlF capacitor increases the speed of recovery
from overload and is adequate for noise on this scale.

Reference capacitor
A 0.1 IlF capacitor is acceptable in most applications.
However, where a large common-mode voltage exists (i.e.,
the ViN pin is not at analog common), and a 200-mV scale is
used, a larger value is required to prevent roll-over error.
Generally, 1 IlF will hold the roll-over error to 0.5 count in this
instance.

Integrating Capacitor
The integrating capacitor should be selected to give the
maximum voltage swing that ensures tolerance build-up will
not saturate the integrator swing (approximately 0.3V from
either supply). In the TC7116fTC7116A or the TC7117/
TC7117A, when the analog common is used as a reference,
a nominal ±2.V full- scale integrator swing is acceptable. For
the TC7117ITC7117A, with ±5V supplies and analog common tied to supply ground, a ±3.5V to ±4V swing is nominal.
For 3 readings per second (48 kHz clock), nominal values for
CINT are 0.22 1l1F and 0.10 IlF, respectively. If different
oscillator frequencies are used, these values should be
changed in inverse proportion to maintain the output swing.
The integrating capacitor must have low dielectric absorption to prevent roll-over errors. Polypropylene capacitors
are recommended for this application.

Integrating Resistor

To generate full-scale output (2000 counts), the analog
input required is VIN = 2 VREF. Thus, for the 200 mV and 2V
scale, VREF should equal 100 mV and 1V, respectively. In
many applications, where the ADC is connected to a transducer, a scale factor exists between the input voltage and
the digital reading. For instance, in a measuring system the
designer might like to have a full-scale reading when the
voltage from the transducer is 700 mV. Instead of dividing
the input down to 200 mV, the designer should use the input
voltage directly and select VREF =350 mV. Suitable values
for integrating resistor and capacitor would be 120 kn and
0.22 IlF. This makes the system slightly quieter and also
avoids a divider network on the input. The TC7117ITC7117A,
with ±5V supplies, can accept input signals up to ±4V.
Another advantage of this system is when a digital reading
of zero is desired for VIN O. Temperature and weighing
systems with a variable tare are examples. This offset
reading can be conveniently generated by connecting the
voltage transducer between ViN and analog common, and
the variable (or fixed) offset voltage between analog common andVjN.

*

TC7117rrC7117A POWER SUPPLIES
The TC7117ITC7117Aaredesignedtooperatefrom±5V
supplies. However, if a negative supply is not available, it can
be generated with a TC7660 DC-to-DC converter and two
capacitors. Figure 10 shows this application.
In selected applications, negative supply is not required.
The conditions to use a single +5V supply are:
(1) The input signal can be referenced to the center of
the common-mode range of the converter.
(2) The signal is less than ±1.5V.
(3) An extemal reference is used.

Both the buffer amplifier and the integrator have a class
A output stage with 100 !!A of quiescent current. They can
supply 20 !!A of drive current with negligible nonlinearity. The
integrating resistor should be large enough to remain in this
very linear region over the input voltage range, but small
enough that undue leakage requirements are not placed on
the PC board. For 2V full scale, 470 kn is near optimum and,
similarly, 47 kn for 200 mV full scale.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The TC7117fTC7117A sink the LED display current,
causing heat to build up in the IC package. If the internal
voltage reference is used, the changing chip temperature
can cause the display to change reading. By reducing
package power dissipation, such variations can be reduced.
By reducing the LED common anode voltage, the TC7117/
TC7117A package power dissipation is reduced.
Figure 17 is a curve-tracer display showing the relationship between output current and output voltage for typical
TC7117CPLlTC7117ACPL devices. Since a typical LED
has 1.8V across it at 8 mA and its common anode is
connected to +5V, the TC7117fTC7117A output is at 3.2V
(Point A, Figurel?). Maximum power dissipation is 8.1 mA
x 3.2V x 24 segments = 622 mW.
However, notice that once the TC7117fTC7117A's output voltage is above 2V, the LED current is essentially
constant as output voltage increases. Reducing the output
voltage by 0.7V (Point B Figure 17) results in 7.7 mA of LED
current, only a 5% reduction. Maximum power dissipation is
now only 7.7 mAx 2.5Vx24 =462 mW, a reduction of 26%.
An output voltage reduction of 1V (Point C) reduces LED
current by 10% (7.3 mA), but power dissipation by 38% (7.3
mA x 2.2V x 24 = 385 mW).

Reduced power dissipation is very easy to obtain.
Figure 18 shows two ways: Either a 5.1 n, 1/4W resistor, or
a 1A diode placed in series with the display (but not in series
with the TC7117fTC7117A). The resistor reduces the
TC7117fTC7117A's output voltage (when all 24 segments
are ON) to Point C of Figure 17. When segments turn off, the
output voltage will increase. The diode, however, will result
in a relatively steady output voltage, around Point B.
In addition to limiting maximum power dissipation, the
resistor reduces change in power dissipation as the display
changes. The effect is caused by the fact that, as fewer
segments are ON, each ON output drops more voltage and
current. Forthe best case of six segments (a "111" display)
to worst case (a "1888" display), the resistor circuit will
change about 230 mW, while a circuit without the resistor will
change about 470 mW. Therefore, the resistor will reduce
the effect of display dissipation on reference voltage drift by
about 50%.
The change in LED brightness caused by the resistor is
almost unnoticeable as more segments turn off. If display
brightness remaining steady is very important to the designer, a diode may be used instead of the resistor.

TC7126A
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC7126A features a precision, low-drift intemal
voltage reference and is functionally identical to the TC7126.
A low-drift extemal reference is not normally required with the
TC7126A.
The TC7126A is a 3-1/2 digit CMOSanalog-tb-digital
converter (ADC) containing all the active components necessary to construct a 0.05% resolution measurement system.
Seven-segment decoders, digit and polarity drivers, voltage
reference, and clock circuit are integrated on-chip. The
TC7126A directly drives a liquid crystal display (LCD), and
includes a backplane driver.
A loW-COst, high-resolution indicating meter requires only
a display, four resistors, and four capacitors. The TC7126A's

extremely low power drain and 9V battery operation make it
ideal for portable applications.
The TC7126A reduces linearity error to less than 1 count.
Roll-over error (the difference in readings for equal magnitude but opposite polarity input signals) is below ±1 count.
High-impedance differential inputs offer 1·pA leakage current
and a 10120 input impedance. The 15 IlVp-p noise performance guarantees a "rock solid' reading, and the auto-zero
cycle guarantees a zero display reading with a OV input.
The TC7126A's dual-slope conversion technique automatically rejects interference signals if the converter's integration time is setto a multiple oftheinterference period. This
is especially useful in industrial measurement environments
where 50-Hz, 60-Hz, and 400-Hz line frequency signals are
present.

GENERAL THEORY OF OPERATION

Dual-Slope Conversion Principles
The TC7126A is a dual-slope, integrating analog-todigital converter. An understanding of the dual-slope conversion technique will aid in following detailed TC7126A
operational theory.
The conventional dual-slope converter measurement
cycle has two distinct phases:

REF
VOLTAGE

(1) Input signal integration
(2) Reference voltage integration (deintegration)
The input signal being converted is integrated for a fixed
time period (tSI), measured by counting clock pulses. An
opposite polarity constant reference voltage is then integrated until the integrator output voltage returns to zero. The
reference integration time is directly proportional to the input
signal (tAl).
In a simple dual-slope converter, a complete conversion
requires the integrator output to "ramp-up" and "ramp-down."
A simple mathematical equation relates the input signal,
reference voltage, and integration time:

analog gates close a feedback loop around the integrator
and comparator. This loop permits comparator offset voltage error compensation. The voltage level established on
CAZ compensates for device offset voHages. The auto-zero
phase residual is typically 10 11V to 15 11V.
The auto-zero cycle length is 1000 to 3000 clock
periods.

Signal Integration Phase
The auto-zero loop is entered and the internal differential inputs connect to VIN+ and VIN-. The differential input
signal is integrated for a fixed time period. The TC7126A
signal integration period is 1000 clock periods, or counts.
The externally-set clock frequency is +4 before clocking the
internal counters. The integration time period is:

The dual-slope converter accuracy is unrelated to the
integrating resistor and capacitor values, as long as they are
stable during a measurement cycle. Noise immunity is an
inherent benefit. Noise spikes are integrated, or averaged,
to zero during integration periods. Integrating ADCs are
immune to the large conversion errors that plague successive approximation converters in high-noise environments.
Interfering signals with frequency components at mUHiples
of the averaging period will be attenuated. Integrating ADCs
commonly operate with the signal integration period set to a
multiple of the 50 Hz/60 Hz power line period.

ANALOG SECTION
In addition to the basic integrate and deintegrate dualslope cycles discussed above, the TC7126A design incorporates an auto-zero cycle. This cycle removes buffer
amplifier, integrator, and comparator offset voltage error
terms from the conversion. A true digital zero reading results
without external adjusting potentiometers. A complete conversion consists of three phases:

The differential input voltage must be within the device
common-mode range when the converter and measured
system share the same power supply common (ground). If
the converter and measured system do not share the same
power supply common, VIN- should be tied to analog common.
Polarity is determined at the end of signal integrate
phase. The sign bit is a true polarity indication, in that signals
less than 1 LSB are correctly determined. This allows
precision null detection limited only by device noise and
auto-zero residual offsets.

Reference Integrate Phase
The third phase is reference integrate, or deintegrate.
VIN- is internally connected to analog common and VIN+ is
connected across the previously-charged reference capacitor. Circuitry within the chip ensures the capacitor will be
connected with the correct polarity to cause the integrator
output to return to zero. The time required for the output to
return to zero is proportional to the input signal and is
between 0 and 2000 internal clock periods. The digital
reading displayed is:

(1) Auto-zero phase

1000~

(2) Signal integrate phase

VREF

(3) Reference integrate phase

DIGITAL SECTION
Auto-Zero Phase
During the auto-zero phase, the differential input signal
is disconnected from the circuit by opening internal analog
gates. The internal nodes are shorted to analog common
(ground) to establish a zero input condition. Additional

The TC7126A contains all the segment drivers necessary to directly drive a 3-1/2 digit LCD. An LCD backplane
driver is included. The backplane frequency is the external
clock frequency +800. For 3 conversions per second the
backplane frequency is 60 Hz with a 5V nominal amplitude.

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER
TC7126
TC7126A
The TC7126A is a drop-in replacement for the TC7126
and ICL7126 that offers a greatly improved internal reference temperature coefficient. No external component value
changes are required to upgrade existing designs.

When a segment driver is in-phase with the backplane
signal, the segment is "OFF." An out-ot-phase segment
drive signal causes the segment to be "ON," or visible. This
AC drive configuration results in negligible DC voltage
across each LCD segment, ensuring long LCD life. The
polarity segment driver is "ON" for negative analog inputs. If
VIN+ and VIN- are reversed, this indicator would reverse.
On the TC7126A, when the test pin is pulled to V+, all
segments are turned "ON." The display reads -1888. During this mode, LCD segments have a constant DC voltage
impressed. Do not leave the display in this mode for more
than several minutes; LCDs may be destroyed if operated
with DC levels for extended periods.
The display font and segment drive assignment are
shown in Figure 4.

COMPONENT VALUE SELECTION
Auto-Zero Capacitor (CAl)
The CAZ size has some influence on system noise. A
0.33 !J.F capacitor is recommended for 200 mV full-scale
applications where 1 LSB is 100 !J.V. A 0.033!J.F capacitor is
adequate for 2V full-scale applications. A Mylar-type dielectric capacitor is adequate.

Reference Voltage Capacitor (CREF)
The reference voltage used to ramp the integrator
output voltage back to zero during the reference integrate
phase is stored on CREF. A 0.1 !J.F capacitor is acceptable
when VREF- is tied to analog common. If a large commonmode voltage exists (VREF- ~ analog common) and the application requires a 200 mV full scale, increase CREF to
1 !J.F. Roll-over error will be held to less than 0.5 count. A
Mylar-type dielectric capacitor is adequate.

System Timing
The oscillator frequency is +4 prior to clocking the internal decade counters. The three-phase measurement cycle
takes a total of 4000 counts (16,000 clock pulses). The 4000count cycle is independent of input signal magnitude.
Each phase of the measurement cycle has the following
length:
(1) Auto-zero phase: 1000 to 3000 counts
(4000 to 12,000 clock pulses)
For signals less than full scale, the auto-zero phase
is assigned the unused reference integrate time
period.
(2) Signal integrate:

1000 counts
(4000 clock pulses)
This time period is fixed. The integration period is:
tSI = 4000 [fo:cJ '

where fosc is the externally-set clock frequency.
(3) Reference integrate: 0 to 2000 counts
(0 to 8000 clock pulses)

Integrating Capacitor (CINT)
CINT should be selected to maximize integrator output
voltage swing without causing output saturation. Due to the
TC7126A's superior analog common temperature coefficient specification, analog common will normally supply the
differential vo~age reference. For this case, a ±2V full-scale
integrator output swing is satisfactory. For 3 readings per
second (fosc = 48 kHz), a 0.047 !J.F value is suggested.
For 1 reading per second, 0.15 !J.F is recommended. If a
different oscillator frequency is used, CINT must be changed
in inverse proportion to maintain the nominal ±2V integrator
swing.
An exact expression for CINT is:

At 3 readings per second, a 7500 resistor should be
placed in series with CINT. This increases accuracy by compensating for comparator delay. CINT must have low dielectric absorption to minimize roll-over error. An inexpensive
polypropylene capacitor is recommended.

Differential Signal Inputs

lose = 48 kHz (3 readings Pl'r sec).

Oscillator Components
Cosc should be 50 pF; Rosc is selected from the equation:

0.45
fosc=R"C.
For a 48 kHz clock (3 conversions per second), R = 180 1<0.
Note that fosc is +4 to generate the TC7126A's internal clock. The backplane drive signal is derived by dividing
fosc by 800.
To achieve maximum rejection of 60 Hz noise pickup,
the signal integrate period should be a multiple of 60 Hz.
Oscillator frequencies of 240 kHz, 120 kHz, 80 kHz, 60 kHz,
40 kHz, 33-1/3 kHz, etc. should be selected. For 50 Hz
rejection, oscillator frequencies of 200 kHz, 100 kHz, 66-2/
3 kHz, 50 kHz, 40 kHz, etc. would be suitable. Note that
40 kHz (2.5 readings per second) will reject both 50 Hz and
60 Hz (also 400 Hz and 440 Hz).

Reference Voltage Selection
A full-scale reading (2000 counts) requires the input
signal be twice the reference voltage.

input voltage by two, the reference voltage should be set to

The differential reference can also be used where a

This is common in temperature-measuring instrumentation.
A compensating. offset voltage can be applied between
analog common and VIN-. The transducer output is connected between VIN+ and analog common.

and accepts input signals within the input stage commonmode voltage range (VCM). Typical range is V+ -lV to V+1V. Common-mode voltages are removed from the system
when the TC7126A operates from a battery orfloating power
source (isolated from measured system), and VIN- is connected to analog common (VCOM). (See Figure 5.)
In systems where common-mode voltages exist, the
TC7126A's 86 dB common-mode rejection ratio minimizes
error. Common-mode voltages do, however, affect the integrator output level. A worst-case condition exists if a large
positive VCM exists in conjunction with a full-scale negative
differential signal. The negative signal drives the integrator
output positive along with VCM (see Figure 6.) For such
applications, the integrator output swing can be reduced
below the recommended 2V fUll-scale swing. The integrator
output will swing within 0.3V of V+ or V- without increased
linearity error.

Differential Reference
VREF+ (Pin 36), VREF- (Pin 35)
The reference voltage can be generated anywhere
within the V+ to V- power supply range.
To prevent roll-over type errors being induced by large
common-mode voltages, CREF should be large compared to
stray node capacitance.
The TC7126A offers a significantly improved analog
common temperature coefficient. This potential provides a
very stable voltage, suitable for use as a voltage reference.
The temperature coefficient of analog common is typically
35 ppm/°C forthe TC7126A and 80 ppm/°Cforthe TC7126.
ANALOG COMMON (Pin 32)
The analog common pin is set at a voltage potential
approximately 3V below V+. The potential is guaranteed to
be between 2.7V and 3.35V below V+. Analog common is
tied internally to an N-channel FET capable of sinking
100 J.IA. This FET will hold the common line at 3V should an

external load attempt to pull the common line toward V+.
Analog common source current is limited to 1 ~. Therefore,
analog common is easily pulled to a more negative voltage
(Le., below V+ -3V).
The TC7126A connects the internal VIN+ and VIN- inputs to analog common during the auto-zero phase. During
the reference-integrate phase, VIN- is connected to analog
common. If VIN- is not externally connected to analog common, a common-mode voltage exists, but is rejected by the
converter's 86 dB common-mode rejection ratio. In battery
operation, analog common and VIN- are usually connected,
removing common-mode voltage concems. In systems where
VIN- is connected to power supply ground or to a given
voltage, analog common should be connected to VIN-.
The analog common pin serves to set the analog section reference, or common point. The TC7126A is specifically designed to operate from a battery or in any measurement system where input signals are not referenced (float)
with respect to the TC7126A's power source. The analog

=Analog Common

common potential of V+ -3V gives a 7V end of battery life
voltage. The common potential has a 0.001 %/% voltage
coefficient and a 15n output impedance.
With sufficiently high total supply voltage (V+-V- >7V),
analog common is a very stable potential with excellent
temperature stability (typically 35 ppm/°c). This potential
can be used to generate the TC7126A's reference voltage.
An external voltage reference will be unnecessary in most
cases because of the 35 pprnl°C temperature coefficient.
See "TC7126A Internal Voltage Reference" discussion.
TEST (Pin 37)
The test pin potential is 5V less than V+. Test may be
used as the negative power supply connection for external
CMOS logic. The test pin is tied to the internally-generated
negative logic supply through a soon resistor. The test pin
load should not be more than 1 mAo See "Digital Section" for
additional information on using test as a negative digital logic
supply.
If test is pulled high (to V+), all segments plus the minus
sign will be activated. Do not operate in this mode for more
than several minutes. With TEST= V+, the LCD segments
are impressed with a DC voltage which will destroy the LCD.

users to upgrade old systems and design new systems

Ratiometric Resistance Measurements

'NOTE: Contact LCD manufacturer for full product listing/specifications.

Decimal Point and Annunciator Drive
The test pin is connected to the internally-generated
digital logic supply ground through a 5000 resistor. The test
pin may be used as the negative supply for external CMOS
gate segment drivers. LCD annunciators for decimal points,
low battery indication, or function indication may be added
without adding an additional supply. No more than 1 mA
should be supplied by the test pin. The test pin potential is
approximately 5Y below Y+.

The TC7126A's true differential input and differential
reference make ratiometric readings possible. In ratio metric
operation, an unknown resistance is measured with respect
to a known standard resistance. No accurately-defined
reference voltage is needed.
The unknown resistance is put in series with a known
standard and a current passed through the pair. The voltage
developed across the unknown is applied to the input and
the voltage across the known resistor applied to the reference input. If the unknown equals the standard, the display
will read 1000. The displayed reading can be determined
from the following expression:

COMPONENT SELECTION
The TC7129 is designed to be the heart of a highresolution analog measurement instrument. The only additional components required are a few passive elements, a
voltage reference, an LCD, and a power source. Most
component values are not critical; sUbstitutes can be chosen
based on the information given below.
The basic circuit for a digital multimeter application is
shown in Figure 1 . See "Special Applications" for variations.
Typical values for each component are shown. The sections
below give component selection criteria.

Oscillator (Xosc.

COl. C02. Ro)

The primary criterion for selecting the crystal oscillator
is to chose a frequency that achieves maximum rejection of
line-frequency noise. To do this, the integration phase
should last an integral number of line cycles. The integration

phase of the TC7129 is 10,000 clock cycles on the 200 mV
range and 1000 clock cycles on the 2V range. One clock
cycle is equalto two oscillator cycles. For 60 Hz rejection, the
oscillator frequency should be chosen so the period of one
line cycle equals the integration time for the 2V range:
1/60 second", 16.7 ms

giving an oscillator frequency of 120 kHz. A similar calculation gives an optimum frequency of 1 00 kHz for 50 Hz
rejection.
The resistor and capacitor values are not critical; those
shown work for most applications. In some situations the
capacitor values may have to be adjusted to compensat~ for
parasitic capacitance in the circuit. The capacitors can be
low-cost ceramic devices.

CONVERTER WITH ON·CHIP LCD DRIVERS
TC7129
Some applications can use a simple RC network instead
of a crystal oscillator. The RC oscillator has more potential
for jitter, especially in the least significant digit. See "RC
Oscillator."

A reading between 10,000 and 9998 is acceptable;
anything lower indicates unacceptable high dielectric ab<'sorption.

Reference Capacitor (CREF)
Integrating Resistor (RINT)
The integrating resistor sets the charging current for the
integrating capacitor. Choose a value that provides a current
between 5 !lA and 20 !lA at 2V, the maximum full-scale
input. The typical value chosen gives a charging current of
13.3 !lA:
2V
ICHARGE = - - 13.3 !lA
150
kn
Too high a value for RINT increases the sensitivity to
noise pickup and increases errors due to leakage current.
Too Iowa value degrades the linearity of the integration,
leading to inaccurate readings.
.

Integrating Capacitor (CINT)
The charge stored in the integrating capacitor during
integrate phase is directly proportional to the input voltage.
The primary selection criterion for CINT is to choose a value
that gives the highest voltage swing while remaining within
the high-linearity portion of the integrator output range. An

Voltage Reference (DREF. RREF. RaiAs. CRF)
A TC04 band-gap reference provides a high-stability
voltage reference of 1.25V. The reference potentiometer
(RREF) provides an adjustment for adjusting the reference
voltage; any value above 20 kW is adequate. The bias
resistor (RBlAs) limits the current through DREF to less than
150!lA. The reference filter capacitor (CRF) forms an RC
filter with RBIAS to help eliminate noise.

Input filter (RIF. CIF)
For added stability, an RC input noise filter is usually
included in the circuit. The input filter resistor value should
not exceed 100 kW. A typical RC time constant value is
16.7 ms to help reject line-frequency noise. The input filter
capacitor should have low leakage for high-impedance
input.

Battery
The typical circuit uses a 9V battery as a power source.
Any value between 6V and 12V can be used. For operation
from batteries with voltages lower than 6V and for operation
from power supplies. see "Powering the TC7129."

where tiNT is the integration time.

SPECIAL APPLICATIONS

C - 16.7ms *13.3!lA -01 F
INT 2V
- . I.J. .
The capacitor should have low dielectric absorption to
ensure good integration linearity. Polypropylene and Teflon
capacitors are usually suitable. A good measurement of the
dielectric absorption is to connect the reference capacitor
across the inputs by connecting:

Pinto Pin
20 -t33 (CREF+ to IN HI)
30-t 32 (CREF- to IN LO)

The reference capacitor stores the reference voltage
during several phases of the measurement cycle. Low
leakage is the primary selection criterion forthis component.
The value must be high enough to offset the effect of stray
capacitance at the capacitor terminals. A value of at least
1 I.J.F is recommended.

The TC7129 is a direct pin-for-pin replacement part for
the Intersil ICL7129. Note, however, that the Intersil part
requires a capacitor and resistor between pins 26 and 28 for
phase compensation. Since the TC7129 uses internal phase
compensation. these parts are not required and. in fact.
must be removed from the circuit for stable operation.

Powering the TC7129
While the most common power source for the TC7129
is a 9V battery. there are other possibilities. Some of the
more common ones are explained below.

For applications in which 3-1/2 digit (100 I!V) resolution

zero, and is therefore proportional to the input voltage being
measured. This count can then be scaled and displayed as
a measurement of the input Voltage. Figure g shows the
phases of the dual-slope conversion.
The dual-slope method has a fundamental limitation.
The count can only stop on a clock cycle, so that measurement accuracy is limited to the clock frequency. In addition,
a delay in the zero-crossing comparator can add to the
inaccuracy. Figure 10 shows these errors in an actual
measurement.

Two important techniques are used in the TC7129:
successive integration and digital auto-zeroing. Successive
integration is a refinement to the traditional dual-slope
conversion technique.

Dual-Slope Conversion
A dual-slope conversion has two basic phases: integrate and deintegrate. During the integrate phase, the input
signal is integrated for a fixed period of time; the integrated
voltage level is thus proportional to the input voltage. During
the deintegrate phase, the integrated voltage is ramped
down at a fixed slope, and a counter counts the clock cycles
until the integrator voltage crosses zero. The count is a

The dual-slope converter accuracy is unrelated to the
integrating resistor and capacitor values, as long as they are
stable during a measurement cycle. Noise immunity is an
inherent benefit. Noise spikes are integrated, or averaged,

TC7135 Operational Theory
Figure 3E. Integrator Output Zero Phase

The TC7135 incorporates a system zero phase and
integrator output voltage zero phase to the normal twophase dual-slope measurement cycle. Reduced system
errors, fewer calibration steps, and a shorter overrange
recovery time result.
The TC7135 measurement cycle contains four phases:

GENERAL THEORY OF OPERATION
Dual-Slope Conversion Principles
The TC7135 is a dual-slope, integrating analog-todigital converter. An understanding of the dual-slope conversion technique will aid in following detailed TC7135
operational theory.
The conventional dual-slope converter measurement
cycle has two distinct phases:
(1) Input signal integration

(1) System zero

(2) Analog input signal integration
(3) Reference voltage integration

(4) Integrator output zero
Intemal analog gate status for each phase is shown in
Table I.

(2) Reference voltage integration (deintegration)
The input signal being converted is integrated for a fixed
time period, measured by counting clock pulses. An opposite polarity constant reference voltage is then integrated
until the integrator output voltage retums to zero. The
reference integration time is directly proportional to the input
signal.
In a simple dual-slope converter, a complete conversion
requires the integrator output to "ramp-up" and "rampdown."
A simple mathematical equation relates the input signal,
reference voltage, and integration time:

During this phase, errors due to buffer, integrator, and
~omparator offset voltages are compensated for by chargIng CAl (auto-zero capacitor) with a compensating error
Voltage. W~h zero input voltage, the integrator output remains
at zero.
The external input signal is disconnected from the
internal circuitry by opening the two SWI switches. The internal input pointsconnectto analog common. The reference
capacitor charges to the reference voltage potential through
SWR. A feedback loop, closed around the integrator and
comparator, charges the CAl with a voltage to compensate
forbufferamplifier, integrator, and comparator offset voltages.
(See Figure 3B.)
Analog Input Signal Integration Phase
The TC7135 integrates the differential voltage between
the +INPUT and -INPUT. The differential voltage must be
within the device's common-mode range; -1V from either
supply rail, typically.
The input signal polar~y is determined at the end of this
phase. (See Figure 3C)
Reference Voltage Integration Phase
The previously-charged reference capacitor is connected with the proper polarity to ramp the integrator
output back to zero. (See Figure 3D.) The digital reading
displayed is:

Analog Section Functional Description
Differential Inputs
Th~ TC7135 operates with differential voltages (+INPUT, pin 10 and -INPUT, pin g) within the input amplifier
common-mode range which extends from 1V below the
pos~ive supply to 1V above the negative supply. Within this
common-mode voltage range, an 86 dB common-mode
rejection ratio is typical.
The integrator output also follows the common-mode
voltage and must not be allowed to saturate. A worst-case
condition exists, for example, when a large positive commonmode voltage with a near full-scale negative differential
input voltage is applied. The negative input signal drives the
integrator p~.sitive when most of ~s swing has been used up
by the positive common-mode voltage. For these critical
applications, the integrator swing can be reduced to less
than the recommended 4V full-scale swing, w~h some loss
of accuracy. The integrator output can swing w~hin 0.3V of
either supply without loss of linear~y.
Analog Common
ANALOG COMMON (pin 3) is used asthe-INPUT return
during the auto-zero and de integrate phases. If -INPUT is
di~ere~t from analog common, a common-mode voltage
eXists In the system. This signal is rejected by the excellent
CMRR of the converter. In most applications, -INPUT will be
~et at a fixed known voltage (power supply common, for
Instance). In this application, analog common should be tied
to the same point, thus removing the common-mode voltage
from the converter. The reference voltage is referenced to
analog common.

Figure 7. Timing Diagrams for Outputs

STROBE Output
During the measurement cycle, the STROBE output
(pin 26) control line is pulsed low five times. The five low
pulses occur in the center of the digit drive signals (D1, D2,
D3, D4 and D5; see Figure 8).
D5 goes high for 201 counts when the measurement
cycles end. In the center of D5 pulse, 101 clock pulses after
the end of the measurement cycle, the first STROBE occurs
for one-half clock pulse. After D5 strobe, D4 goes high for 200
clock pulses. STROBE goes low 100 clock pulses after D4
goes high. This continues through the D1 drive pulse.
The digit drive signals will continue to permit display
scanning. STROBE pulses are not repeated until a new
measurement is completed. The digit drive signals will not
continue if the previous signal resulted in an overrange
condition.

BUSY Output
At the beginning of the signal-integration phase, BUSY
(pin 21) goes high and remains high until the first clock pulse
after the integrator zero crossing. BUSY returns to logic "0"
after the measurement cycle ends in an overrange condition.
The internal display latches are loaded during the first clock
pulse after BUSY and are latched at the clock pulse end. The
BUSY signal does not go high at the beginning of the
measurement cycle, which starts with the auto-zero phase.

OVERRANGE Output
If the input signal causes the reference voltage integration time to exceed 20,000 clock pulses, the OVER RANGE
output (pin 27) is set to logic "1." The OVERRANGE output
register is set when BUSY goes low and reset at the
beginning of the next reference-integration phase.

UNDERRANGE Output
If the output count is 9% of full scale or less (,.;;1800
counts), the UNDERRANGE output (pin 28) register bit is
set at the end of BUSY. The bit is set low at the next signalintegration phase.

the value of CINT is given by:

POLARITY Output
A positive input is registered by a logic "1" polarity signal.
The POLARITY output (pin 23) is valid at the beginning of
reference integrate and remains valid until determined during the next conversion.
The POLARITY bit is valid even for a zero reading.
Signals less than the converter's LSB will have the signal
polarity determined correctly. This is useful in null applications.

CINT =

(10,000) (clock period) (20 ~)
Integrator output voltage swing·
A very important characteristic of the CINT is that it has
low dielectric absorption to prevent roll-over or ratio metric
errors. A good test for dielectric absorption is to use the
capacitor with the input tied to the reference. This ratio metric
condition should read half-scale 0.9999. Any deviation is
probably due to dielectric absorption. Polypropylene
capacitors give undetectable errors at reasonable cost.
Polystyrene and polycarbonate capacitors may also be
used in less critical applications.

sequence is Os, 04, 03, 02 and 01 (pins 12, 17, 18, 19 and
20, respectively). All positive signals are 200 clock pulses
wide, except Os, which is 201 clock pulses.
All five digits are continuously scanned, unless an
overrange condition occurs. In an overrange condition, all
digit drives are held low from the final STROBE pulse until
the beginning of the next reference-integrate phase. The
scanning sequence is then repeated, providing a blinking
visual display.

Auto-Zero and Reference Capacitors
The size of the auto-zero capacitor (CAz) has some influence on system noise. A large capacitor reduces noise.
The reference capacitor (CAEF) should be large enough such
that stray capacitance from its nodes to ground is negligible.
The dielectric absorption of CAEF and CAl is only important at power-on, or when the circuit is recovering from an
overload. Smaller or cheaper capacitors can be used if
accurate readings are not required during the first few
seconds of recovery.

BCD Data Outputs
The binary coded decimal (BCO) outputs, Ba, B4, B2 and
B1 (pins 16, 15, 14 and 13, respectively) are positive truelogic signals. They become active simultaneously with digit
drive signals. In an overrange condition, all data bits are
logic "0".

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Reference Voltage

Component Value Selection

The analog input required to generate a full-scale output
is VIN =2 VAEF.
The stability of the reference voltage is a major factor in
overall absolute accuracy of the converter. Therefore, it is
recommended that high-quality references be used where
high-accuracy, absolute measurements are being made.
Suitable references are:

Integrating Resistor
The integrating resistor (RINT) is determined by the fullscale input voltage and output current of the buffer used to
charge the integrator capacitor (CINT). Both the buffer amplifier and the integrator have a Class A output stage, with
100 ~ of quiescent current. A 20 ~ drive current gives
negligible linearity errors. Values of 5 ~ to 40 ~ give good
results. The exact value of RINT for a 20 ~ current is easily
calculated:

Conversion Timing

Integrating Capacitor
The product of RINT and CINT should be selected to give
the maximum voltage swing to ensure tolerance build-up will
not saturate integrator swing (approximately 0.3V from
either supply). For±5V supplies, and analog common tied to
supply ground, a ±3.5V to ±4V full-scale integrator swing is

Line Frequency Rejection
A signal-integration period at a multiple of the 60 Hz line
frequency will maximize 60 Hz "line noise" rejection.
A 100 kHz clock frequency will reject 50 Hz, 60 Hz and
400 Hz noise, corresponding to 2.5 readings per second.

Displays and Driver Circuits
Teledyne Components manufactures three display decoder/driver circuits to interlace the TC7135 to LCOs or LEO
displays. Each driver has 28 outputs for driving four 7segment digit displays. The TC700A features increased
LEO segment drive current for greater display brightness.

The maximum conversion rate of most dual-slope AOCs
is limited by frequency response of the comparator. The
comparator in this circuit follows the integrator ramp with a
3 !lsdelay, and at a clock frequency of 160 kHz (6!ls period),
half of the first reference integrate clock period is lost in
delay. This means the meter reading will change from 0 to
1 with a 50!lV input, 1 to 2 with 150 !lV, 2 to 3 with 250 !lV,
etc. This transition at mid-point is considered desirable by
most users; however, if clock frequency is increased appreciablyabove 160 kHz, the instrument will flash "1" on
noise peaks even when the input is shorted.
For many dedicated applications, where the input signal
is always of one polarity, comparator delay need not be a
limitation. Since nonlinearity and noise do not increase
substantially with frequency, clock rates up to -1 MHz may
be used. For a fixed clock frequency, the extra count (or
counts) caused by comparator delay will be constant and
can be digitally subtracted.
The clock frequency may be extended above 160 kHz
without this error, however, by using a low value resistor in
series with the integrating capacitor. The effect of the
resistor is to introduce a small pedestal voltage onto the
integrator output at the beginning of reference-integrate
phase. By careful selection of the ratio between this resistor and the integrating resistor (a few tens of ohms in the
recommended circuit), the comparator delay can be compensated for and maximum clock frequency extended
by approximately a factor of 3. At higher frequencies, ringing and second-order breaks will cause significant
nonlinearities during the first few counts of the instrument.
The minimum clock frequency is established by leakage
on the auto-zero and reference capacitors. With most devices, measurement cycles as long as 10 seconds give no
measurable leakage error.
The clock used should be free from significant phase or
frequency jitter. Several suitable low-cost oscillators are
shown in the applications section. The multiplexed output
means if the display takes significant current from the logic
supply, the clock should have good PSRR.

Several sources exist for LCOs and LEO displays.

Zero-Crossing Flip-Flop
The flip-flop interrogates data once every clock pulse
after transients of the previous clock pulse and half-clock
pulse have died down. False zero-crossings caused by
clock pulses are not recognized. Of course, the flip-flop
delays the true zero-crossing by up to one count in every
instance, and if a correction were not made, the display
would always be one count too high. Therefore, the counter

1-186

4-1/2 DIGIT
ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER

TC7135
is disabled for one clock pulse at the beginning of the
reference integrate (deintegrate) phase. This one-count
delay compensates for the delay of the zero-crossing flipflop, and allows the correct number to be latched into the
display. Similarly, a one-count delay at the beginning of
auto-zero gives an overload display of 0000 instead of 0001.
No delay occurs during signal integrate, so true ratio metric
readings result.

TC7136A
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC7136 and TC7136A are low-power, 3-1/2 digit,
liquid crystal display (LCD), analog-to-digital converters
(ADCs). These devices incorporate an "integrator output
zero" phase which guarantees overrange recovery. The
performance of existing TC7126, TC7126A and ICL7126based systems may be upgraded with minor changes to
external, passive components.
The TC7136A has an improved internal zener reference voltage circuit which maintains the analog common
temperature drift to 35 ppm/°C (typical) and 75 ppm/°C
(maximum). This represents an improvement of two to four
times over similar 3-1/2 digit converters. The costly, spaceconsuming external reference source may be removed.
The TC7136 limits linearity error to less than 1 count
on 200 mV or 2V full-scale ranges. Roll-over error - the
difference in readings for equal magnitude but opposite
polarity input signals - is below ±1 count. High-impedance
differential inputs offer 1 pA leakage currents and a 10120
input impedance. The differential reference input allows

ratiometric measurements for ohms or bridge transducer
measurements. The 15 ~Vp_p noise performance guarantees a "rock solid" reading. The auto-zero cycle guarantees
a zero display readout for a OV input.
The single-chip CMOS TC7136 incorporates all the
active devices for a 3-1/2 digit ADC to directly drive an
LCD. The internal oscillator, precision voltage reference,
and display segmentlbackplane drivers simplify system
integration, reduce board space requirements and lower
total cost. A low-cost, high-resolution (0.05%) indicating
meter requires only a display, four resistors, four capacitors and a 9V battery. The flat package option eases the
mechanical design of low-cost, hand-held multimeters.
The TC7136A dual-slope conversion technique rejects
interference signals if the converter's integration time is set
to a multiple of the interference signal period. This is especially useful in industrial measurement environments where
50 Hz, 60 Hz, and 400 Hz line frequency signals are
present.

This pin is primarily used to set the analog common-mode voltage for battery operation or in systems where the input signal is referenced to the power supply. See

180 kn resistor is tied to pin 39 and the 50 pF capacttor is tied to pin 38.

GENERAL THEORY OF OPERATION

Dual.Slope Conversion Principles
The TC7136A is a dual-slope, integrating analog-todigital converter. An understanding of the dual-slope conversion technique will aid in following detailed TC7136A
operational theory.
The conventional dual-slope converter measurement
cycle has two distinct phases:
(1) Input signal integration
REF
VOLTAGE

(2) Reference voltage integration (deintegration)
The input signal being converted is integrated for a fixed
time period (tSI) , measured by counting clock pulses. An
opposite polarity constant reference voltage is then integrated until the integrator output voltage returns to zero. The
reference integration time is directly proportional to the input
signal (tAl).
In a simple dual-slope converter, a complete conversion
requires the integrator output to "ramp-up" and "rampdown."
A simple mathematical equation relates the input signal,
reference voltage, and integration time:

after an overrange conversion. The count forthis phase is a
function of the number of counts required by the deintegrate
phase.
Thecount lasts from 11 to 140 counts for non-overrange
conversions and from 31 to 640 counts for overrange
conversions.

Auto-Zero Phase

,,

:;; 10

~

During the auto-zero phase, the differential input signal
is disconnected from the circuit by opening internal analog
gates. The internal nodes are shorted to analog common
(ground) to establish a zero input condition. Additional
analog gates close a feedback loop around the integrator
and comparator. This loop permits comparator offset voltage error compensation. The voltage level established on
CAZ compensates for device offset Voltages. The auto-zero
phase residual is typically 10 IiV to 15 IiV.
The auto-zero duration is from 910 to 2900 counts for
non-overrange conversions and from 300 to 910 counts for
overrange conversions.

INPUT FREQUENCY

Normal-Mode Rejection of Dual-Slope Converter

The dual-slope converter accuracy is unrelated to the
integrating resistor and capacitor values, as long as they are
stable during a measurement cycle. Noise immunity is an
inherent benefit. Noise spikes are integrated, or averaged,
to zero during integration periods. Integrating ADCs are
immune to the large conversion errors that plague successive approximation converters in high-noise environments.
Interfering signals with frequency components at multiples
of the averaging period will be attenuated. Integrating ADCs
commonly operate with the signal integration period set to a
multiple of the 50 Hz/60 Hz power line period.

Signal Integration Phase
The auto-zero loop is entered and the internal differential inputs connect to VIN+ and VIN-. The differential input
signal is integrated for a fixed time period. The TC7136A
signal integration period is 1000 clock periods or counts. The
externally-set clock frequency is divided by four before
clocking the internal counters. The integration time period is:
tSI =

ANALOG SECTION

where fose

In addition to the basic integrate and deintegrate dualslope cycles discussed above, the TC7136 and TC7136A
designs incorporate an "integrator output-zero cycle" and an
"auto-zero cycle." These additional cycles ensure the integrator starts at OV (even after a severe overrange conversion) and that all offset voltage errors (buffer amplifier,
integrator and comparator) are removed from the conversion. A true digital zero reading is assured without any
external adjustments.
A complete conversion consists of four distinct phases:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)

Integrator output-zero phase
Auto-zero phase
Signal integrate phase
Reference deintegrate phase

Integrator Output-Zero Phase
This phase guarantees the integrator output is at OV
before the system-zero phase is entered. This ensures that
true system offset voltages will be compensated for even

The differential input voltage must be within the device
common-mode range when the converter and measured
system share the same power supply common (ground). If
the converter and measured system do not share the same
power supply common, VIN- should be tied to analog common.
Polarity is determined at the end of signal integrate
phase. The sign bit is a true polarity indication, in that signals
less than 1 LSB are correctly determined. This allows
precision null detection limited only by device noise and
auto-zero residual offsets.

DIGITAL SECTION
The TC7136A contains all the segment drivers necessary to directly drive a 3-1/2 digit LCD. An LCD backplane
driver is included. The backplane frequency is the external
clock frequency divided by 800. For three conversions per
second the backplane frequency is 60 Hz with a 5V nominal
amplitude. When a segment driver is in-phase with the
backplane signal, the segment is "OFF." An out-of-phase
segment drive signal causes the segment to be "ON," or
visible. This AC drive configuration results in negligible DC
voltage across each LCD segment, ensuring long LCD life.
The polarity segment driver is "ON" for negative analog
inputs. If VIN+ and VIN- are reversed, this indicator would
reverse.
On the TC7136A, when the test pin is pulled to V+, all
segments are turned "ON." The display reads -1888. During
this mode the LCD segments have a constant DC voltage
impressed. Do not leave the display in this mode for more

(3) Reference integrate: 0 to 2000 counts

The TC7136 is a drop-in replacement for the TC7126
and ICL7126. The TC7136A offers a greatly-improved internal reference temperature coefficient. Minor component
value changes are required to upgrade existing designs and
improve the noise performance.

COMPONENT VALUE SELECTION
Auto-Zero Capacitor (CAZ)
The CAl capacitor size has some influence on system
noise. A 0.47 ~F capacitor is recommended for 200 mV fullscale applications where 1 LSB is 100 IN. A 0.1 ~F capacitor
is adequate for 2V full-scale applications. A Mylar-type
dielectric capacitor is adequate.

Reference Voltage Capacitor (CREF)
The reference voltage used to ramp the integrator
output voltage back to zero during the reference integrate
phase is stored on CREF. A 0.1 I1F capacitor is acceptable
when VREF- is tied to analog common. If a large commonmode voltage exists (VREF- analog common) and the
application requires a 200 mV full scale, increase CREF to
1 I1F. Roll-over error will be held to less than 0.5 count. A
Mylar-type dielectric capacitor is adequate.

*

Integrating Capacitor (C'NT)
CINT should be selected to maximize integrator output
voltage swing without causing output saturation. Analog
common will normally supply the differential voltage reference this case, a ±2V full-scale integrator output swing is
satisfactory. For 3 readings per second (fose = 48 kHz) a
0.047I1F value is suggested. For one reading per second,
0.15 IlF is recommended. If a different oscillator frequency
is used, CINT must be changed in inverse proportion to
maintain the nominal ±2V integrator swing.
An exact expression for CINT is:

Note that fose is + 4 to generate the TC7136A's intemal

To achieve maximum rejection of 60 Hz noise pickup,
the signal integrate period should be a multiple of 60 Hz.
Oscillator frequencies of 240 kHz, 120 kHz, 80 kHz, 60 kHz,
40 kHz, 33-1/3 kHz, etc. should be selected. For 50 Hz
rejection, oscillator frequencies of 200 kHz, 100kHz, 66-213
kHz, 50 kHz, 40 kHz, etc. would be suitable. Note that
40 kHz (2.5 readings per second) will reject both 50 Hz and

In some applications, a scale factor otherthan unity may
exist between a transducer output voltage and the required
digital reading. Assume, for example, a pressure transducer
output for 2000 Ib/in. 2 is 400 mY. Rather than dividing the
input voltage by two, the reference voltage should be set to
200 mY. This permits the transducer input to be used
directly.
The differential reference can also be used when a
digital zero reading is required when VIN is not equal to zero.
This is common in temperature measuring instrumentation.
A compensating offset voltage can be applied between
analog common and VIN-. The transducer output is connected between VIN+ and analog common.

DEVICE PIN FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Differential Signal Inputs
VIN+ (Pin 31), VIN- (Pin 30)
The TC7136A is designed with true differential inputs
and accepts input signals within the input stage commonmode voltage range (VeM). The typical range is V+ -1 V to V+1V. Common-mode voltages are removed from the system
when the TC7136A operates from a battery or floating power
source (isolated from measured system), and VIN- is connected to analog common (VeoM). (See Figure 7.)

Common-Mode Voltage Removed in Battery Operation With V,N

In systems where common-mode voltages exist, the
86 dB common-mode rejection ratio minimizes error. Common-mode voltages do, however, affect the integrator output level. A worst-case condition exists if a large positive
VCM exists in conjunction with a full-scale negative differential signal. The negative signal drives the integrator output
positive along with VCM {see Figure 8.} For such applications, the integrator output swing can be reduced below the
recommended 2V full-scale swing. The integrator output
will swing within 0.3V of V+ or V- without increased
linearity error.

Differential Reference

The reference voltage can be generated anywhere
within the V+ to V- power supply range.
To prevent roll-over type errors being induced by large

=Analog Common

The TC7136A offers a significantly improved analog
common temperature coefficient. This potential provides a
very stable Voltage, suitable for use as a voltage reference.
The temperature coefficient of analog common is typically
35 ppm/°C.
ANALOG COMMON (Pin 32)
The analog common pin is set at a voltage potential
approximately 3V below V+. The potential is guaranteed to
be between 2.7V and 3.35V below V+. Analog common is
tied internally to an N-channel FET capable of sinking
1001JA. This FET will hold the common line at 3V below V+
if an external load attempts to pull the common line toward
V+. Analog common source current is limited to 1 IJA. Analog
common is therefore easily pulled to a more negative
voltage {i.e., below V+ -3V}.
The TC7136A connects the internal V'N+ and V'N- inputs to analog common during the auto-zero phase. During
the reference-integrate phase, V'N- is connected to analog
common. If VIN- is not externally connected to analog
common, a common-mode voltage exists, but is rejected by
the converter's 86 dB common-mode rejection ratio. In
battery operation, analog common and V'N- are usually
connected, removing common-mode voltage concerns. In
systems where V'N- is connected to the power supply
ground or to a given voltage, analog common should be
connected to V'N-.
The analog common pin serves to set the analog section reference, or common point. The TC7136A is specifically designed to operate from a battery or in any measurement system where input signals are not referenced (float)
with respect to the TC7136A power source. The analog
common potential of V+ -3V gives a 7V end of battery life
voltage. The common potential has a 0.001%/% voltage
coefficient.

With sufficiently high total supply voltage (V+-V- >7V),
analog common is a very stable potential with excellent
temperature stability (typically 35 ppm/°c). This potential
can be used to generate the TC7136A's reference voltage.
An external voltage reference will be unnecessary in most
cases because of the 35 ppm/°C temperature coefficient.

TEST (Pin 37)
The test pin potential is 5V less than V+. Test may be
used as the negative power supply connection for external
CMOS logic. The test pin is tied to the internally-generated
negative logic supply through a 500n resistor. The test pin
load should not be more than 1 rnA. See the Applications
Section for additional information on using test as a negative
digital logic supply.
If test is pulled high (to V+), all segments plus the minus
sign will be activated. Do not operate in this mode for more
than several minutes. With Test = V+, the LCD segments are
impressed with a DC voltage which will destroy the LCD.

minimizing the number of external components. This dualslope AID converter provides automatic polarity and zero
correction with the addition of two extemal resistors and two
capacitors. The full-scale voHage range ofthis ratiometric IC
extends from 199.9 millivoHs to 1.999 voHs. The TC14433B
can operate over a wide range of power supply voltages,
including batteries and standard 5-volt supplies.
The TC14433 will interface with the TC7211A (LCD)and

NOTES: 1. Accuracy - The accuracy of the meter at full-scale is the accuracy of the setting of the reference voltage. Zero is recalculated during
each conversion cycle. The meaningful specification is linearity. In other words, the deviation from correct reading for all inputs other
than positive full-scale and zero is defined as the linearity specification.
2. Three LSD stability for 200 mV scale is defined as the range that the LSD will occupy 95% of the time.
3. Pin numbers refer to 24-pin DIP.

Description
This is the analog ground; it has a high input impedance - This pin determines the reference level
for the unknown input voltage (Vx) and the reference voltage (VREF).

10

Reference vokage - Full-scale output is equal to the voltage applied to VREF. Therefore, full-scale
voltage of 1.999V requires 2V reference and 199.9 mV full-scale requires a 200 mV reference.
VREF functions as system reset also. When switched to VEE' the system is reset to the beginning
of the conversion cycle.

12

The unknown input vokage (Vx) is measured as a ratio of the reference voltage (VREF ) in a
ratiometric AID conversion.

19
22
24

These pins are for external components used for the integration function in the dual slope
conversion. Typical values are 0.1 !iF (mylar) capacitor for C,.
R, 470 kn (resistor) for 2V full-scale.
R, = 27 kn (resistor) for 200 mV full-scale.
Clock frequency of 66 kHz gives 250 ms conversion time. See equation below for calculation
of integrator component values.

25
26

These pins are used for connecting the offset correction capacitor. The recommended value
is 0.1 !iF.

27

Display update input pin - When DU is connected to the EOC output every conversion is
displayed.
New data will be strobed into the output latches during the conversion cycle if a positive edge is
received on DU prior to the ramp-down cycle. When this pin is driven from an external source, the
vokage should be referenced to V ••.

=

Clock input pins - The TC14433 has its own oscillator system clock. Connecting a single
resistor between ClK, and ClK. sets the clock frequency.
A crystal or OC circuit may be inserted in lieu of a resistor for improved stability. ClK" the clock
input, can be driven from an external clock source, which need only have standard CMOS output
drive. This pin is referenced to VEE for external clock inputs. A 300 kn resistor yields a clock
frequency of about 66 kHz. (See typical characteristic curves; see Figure 9 for alternate circuits.)

Negative power supply for output circuitry - This pin sets the low vokage level for the output pins
(BCD, Digit Selects, EOC, OR). When connected to analog ground, the output voltage is from
analog ground to V00. If connected to VEE' the output swing is from VEE to V 00. The recommended
operating range for V •• is between the V OD -3 voks and VEE.

The remaining digits turn on in sequence from MSD to LSD.
To ensure that the BCD data has settled, an inter-digit blanking time of two clock periods is
included.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The TC14433 CMOS IC becomes a modified dualslope AID with a minimum of external components. This IC
has the customary CMOS digital logic circuitry, as well as
CMOS analog circuitry. It provides the user with digital
functions (such as counters, latches, multiplexers) and
analog functions (such as operational amplifiers and comparators) on a single chip.
Features of this system include auto-zero, high input
impedances and auto-polarity. Low power consumption
and a wide range of power supply voltages are also advantages of this CMOS device. The system's auto-zero
function compensates for the offset voltage of the intemal
amplifiers and comparators. In this "ratiometric system," the
output reading is the ratio of the unknown voltage to the
reference voltage, where a ratio of 1 is equal to the maximum
count of 1999. It takes approximately 16,000 clock periods
to complete one conversion cycle. Each conversion cycle
may be divided into 6 segments. Figure 7 shows the
conversion cycle in 6 segments for both positive and negative inputs.
Segment 1 - The offset capacitor (CO>' which compensates for the input offset voltages of the buffer and
integrator amplifiers, is charged during this period. However, the integrator capacitor is shorted. This segment
requires 4000 clock periods.
Segment 2 - During this segment, the integrator output decreases to the comparator threshold voltage. At this
time, a number of counts equivalent to the input offset
voltage of the comparator is stored in the offset latches for
later use in the auto-zero process. The time forthis segment
is variable and less than 800 clock periods.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Figure 14 is an example of a 3-1/2 digit LED voltmeter
with a minimum of external components (only 11 additional
components). In this circuit, the 14511 B provides the
segment drive and the 75492 or 1413 provides sink for digit
current. Display is blanked during the overrange condition.

Figure 10 is an example of a 3-1/2 digit voltmeter using
the TC14433 with common-anode displays. This system
requires a 2.5V reference. Full-scale may be adjusted to
1.999Vor 199.9 mV.lnputoverrange is indicated by flashing
a display. This display uses LEOs with common anode digit
lines. Power supply for this system is shown as a dual ±5V
supply; however, the TC14433 will operate over a wide
voltage range (see recommended operating conditions,
page 2).
The circuit in Figure 11 shows a 3-1/2 digit LCD
voltmeter. The 14024B provides the low frequency square
wave signal drive to the LCD backplane. Dual power
supplies are shown here; however, one supply may be
used when Vss is connected to VEE. In this case, VAG must
be at least 2.8V above VEE.
When only segments band c of the decoder are
connected to the 1/2 digit ofthe display, 4, 0, 7 and 3 appear
as 1.
The overrange indication (03 = 0 and 0 0 = 1) occurs
when the count is greater than 1999; e.g., 1.999V for a
reference of 2V. The underrange indication, useful for autoranging circuits, occurs when the count is less than 180;
e.g., 0.180V for a reference of 2V.

The TC500A is an improved version of the popular
TC500. The improvements allow up to 16 bits of resolution
(plus sign) or faster conversion times for lower resolution
applications.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CMOS TC500fTC500A contain all the analog circuits needed to construct an integrating analog-to-digital
converter. The analog input buffer, integrator, analog
switches, comparator and phase control logic are all on chip.
The dual-slope converter uses time to quantize the
analog input signal. A microprocessor and software routine
perform the digital function of "counting clocks" for the dualslope integrating converter process. The user can control
resolution and conversion speed through software. The
TC500fTC500A analog building block can be used to construct a fast or high-resolution converter by modifying software routines.

INTEGRATING CONVERTER
ANALOG PROCESSORS
TC500
TC500A
A microprocessor controls the TC500fTC500A through
the A and B logic input signals. Four phases are possible:
auto-zero, signal integrate, reference integrate (deintegrate),
and integrator zero output.
The TC500fTC500A comparator's output provides polarity and integrator zero-crossing information. The comparator output is always low when the integrator crosses
zero during the deintegrate phase. This signals the end of a
conversion to the processor.
A precision, dual-slope integrating converter with automatic zero-scale offset voltage and drift correction requires
only a reference, three capacitors, a resistor and a controller. The TC500fTC500A contain the analog circuits needed

to construct a dual-slope integrating converter with an autozero phase. A zero-integrator output phase can be selected
to eliminate errors caused by out-of-range input signals. The
zero-integrator phase greatly improves recovery after an
overrange conversion.
The CMOS TC500fTC500A operate from ±5V supplies.
Power dissipation is only 10 mW. Leakage currents at the
differential inputs are a low 10 pA. The TC500fTC500A
differential reference inputs allow easy ratiometric measurements.
Although the TC500A is pin-for-pin compatible with the
TC500, some programming constraints are imposed. (See
"Integrator Output Zero.'1

OPERATIONAL THEORY

Auto-Zero Phase

The TC500 and TC500A are dual-slope, integrating
analog processors which are used with a microprocessor to
generate analog-to-digital conversions of up to 16 bits of
resolution. Although the TC500 and TC500A are virtually the
same, the TC500A is recommended for applications requiring more than 14 bits of resolution.
The TC500 and TC500A incorporate a system zero
phase and integrator output voltage zero phase, in addition
to the normal two-phase, dual-slope measurement cycle.
Reduced system errors, fewer calibration steps, and shorter
overrange recovery time result.
The TC500 and TC500A measurement cycle can use all
four phases, if desired.

During this phase, errors due to buffer, integrator and
comparator offset voltages are compensated for by charging CAZ (auto-zero capacitor) with a compensating error
voltage.
The external input signal is disconnected from the
internal circuitry by opening the two SW, switches. The
internal input points connect to analog common. The reference capacitor charges to the reference voltage potential
through SWR. A feedback loop, closed around the integrator
and comparator, charges the CAZ capacitor with a voltage to
compensate for buffer amplifier, integrator and comparator
offset Voltages.

(1) Auto zero

(2) Analog input signal integration
(3) Reference voltage integration (deintegrate)
(4) Integrator output zero
Internal analog gate status is shown in Table I for each
phase (see the functional diagram).

The TC500rrC500A integrate the differential voltage
between the (+) and (-) inputs. The differential voltage must
be within the device's common-mode range.
The input signal polarity is normally checked via software at the end of this phase.

ANALOG PROCESSORS

TC500
TC500A
Reference Voltage Deintegration Phase
The previously charged reference capacitor is connected with the proper polarity to ramp the integrator output
back to zero.

Integrator Output Zero Phase
This phase guarantees the integrator output is at OV
when the system zero phase is entered and that the true
system offset voltages are compensated. This phase is
used at the end of the reference voltage deintegration
(DEINT) phase and SHOULD be used for all TC500ITC500A
applications. This phase MUST be used for resolutions of
more than 14 bits. If this phase is not used, the value of the
auto-zero capacitor (CAZ) must be about 23 the value of the
integration capacitor (C'NT) to reduce the effects of chargesharing. The integrator output zero phase should be programmed to operate until the output of the comparator
returns "high" (1) or for fixed time of about 2 ms.

ANALOG SECTION

Differential Inputs (VIN+ [Pin 11], VIN- [Pin 1OJ)
The TC500ITC500A operate with differential voltages
within the input amplifier common-mode range. The input
amplifier common-mode range extends from O.BV below
positive supply to O.BV above negative supply. Within this
common-mode voltage range, a common-mode rejection is
typically BO dB. Full accuracy is maintained, however, when
the inputs are no less than 1.5V from either supply.
The integrator output also follows the common-mode
Voltage. The integrator output must not be allowed to saturate. A worst-case condition exists, for example, when a
large, positive common-mode voltage with a near full-scale
negative differential input voltage is applied. The negative
input signal drives the integrator positive when most of its
swing has been used up by the positive common-mode
voltage. For these critical applications, the integrator swing
can be reduced. The integrator output can swing within 0.9V
of either supply without loss of linearity.

Differential Reference
(VREF+ [Pin 9], VREF- [Pin 8])
The reference voltage can be generated anywhere
within 1V of the power supply voltage of the converter. Rollover error is caused by the reference capacitor losing or
gaining charge due to stray capacitance on its nodes. The
difference in reference for (+) or H input voltages will cause
a roll-over error. This error can be minimized by using a large
reference capacitor in comparison to the stray capacitance.

Phase Control Inputs (A [Pin 12], B [Pin 13])
The A, B unlatched logic inputs select the TC500/
TC500A operating phase. The A, B inputs are normally
driven by a microprocessor 1/0 port or peripheral 1/0 chip.

Comparator Output
By monitoring the comparator output during the fixedsignal integrate time, the input signal polarity can be determined by the microprocessor controlling the conversion.
The comparator output is high for positive signals and low
for negative signals during the signal-integrate phase.
During the reference deintegrate phase, the comparator
output will make a high-to-Iow transition as the integrator
output ramp crosses zero. The transition is used to signal the
processor that the conversion is complete.
The internal comparator delay is 4 jJ.s, typically.
Figure 1 shows the comparator output for large positive
and negative signal inputs. For signal inputs at or near zero
volts, however, the integrator swing is nonexistent. If common-mode noise is present, the comparator can switch
several times during the signal-integrate period. To ensure
that the polarity reading is correct, the comparator output
should be read and stored at the end of signal integrate.
A "low" (0) on the TC500ITC500A comparator, during
the deintegrate phase, signals the processor that the conversion is complete.
The comparator output is undefined during the autozero and the integrator output zero phases.

GENERAL THEORY OF OPERATION

Analog Common (Pin 5)
Analog common is used as V'N return during systemzero and reference deintegrate. If V'N- is different from
analog common, a common-mode voltage exists in the
system. This signal is rejected by the excellent CMRR of the
converter. In most applications, V'N- will be set at a fixed
known voltage (i.e., power supply common). A commonmode voltage will exist when V'N- is not connected to analog
common.

Dual-Slope Conversion Principles
The TC500 is an integrating analog-to-digital converter
building block. An understanding of the dual-slope conversion technique will aid in following the detailed TC500A
operation theory.
The conventional dual-slope converter measurement
cycle has two distinct phases:
(1) Input signal integration
(2) Reference voltage integration (deintegration)

Rgure 1. Comparator Output

The input signal being converted is integrated for a fixed
time period, measured by counting clock pulses. An oppo·
site polarity constant reference voltage is then integrated
until the integrator output voltage retums to zero. The
TC500ITC500A automatically switch in the proper polarity
reference signal. The reference integration time is directly
proportional to the input signal (Figure 2).
In a simple dual-slope converter, a complete conversion
requires the integrator output to "ramp-up" and "rampdown." The TC500ITC500A comparator zero-crossing signals the processor to indicate the deintegrate cycle is
complete.

The dual-slope converter accuracy is unrelated to the
integrating resistor and capacitor values as long as they are
stable during a measurement cycle.
An inherent benefit is noise immunity. Input noise
spikes are integrated or averaged to zero during the integration periods. Integrating ADCs are immune to the large
conversion errors that plague succesive approximation converters in high-noise environments.
Integrating converters provide noise rejection automatically with at least a 20-dB/decade attenuation rate.
Interference signals with frequencies at integral multiples of
the integration period are, theoretically, completely removed.
This intuitively makes sense, since the average value of a
sine wave of frequency (1ft) averaged over a period (t) is
zero.
Integrating converters often establish the integration
period to reject 50/60 Hz line frequency interference signals.
The ability to reject such signals is shown by a normal mode
rejection plot (Figure 3). Normal mode rejection is practically
set to 50 to 65 dB, since the line frequency can deviate by a
few tenths of a percent (Figure 4).

This equation is for reference only. Use 0.11-LF capacitor
for all applications that have 8 or more conversions per

second, and a 0.471-LF capacitor for 2 or less conversions
per second.

COMPONENT VALUE SELECTION
Integrating Resistor (RINT)
The desired full-scale input voltage and output current
capability of the input buffer and integrator amplifier set the
integration resistor value. The internal class A output stage
amplifiers will supply a 20-!-LA drive current with minimal

The integrating capacitor should be selected to maximize integrator output swing. The integrator output will
swing to within 0.8V of Vs+ or Vs- without saturating.
Using the suggested 20-~ full-scale buffer output current, the integrating capacitor is easily calculated:
CINT =

The maximum performance of the TC500/TC500A require that overshoot at the end of the deintegration phase be
minimized. Also, the integrator zero phase may be terminated as soon asthe comparator output returns to "high" (1).

A very important integrating capacitor characteristic is
dielectric absorption. Polypropylene capacitors give
undetectable errors at reasonable cost. Polyester and polycarbonate capacitors may also be used in less critical
applications.
The threshold noise (NTH) is the algebraic sum of the
integrator noise and the comparator noise. This value is
typically about 30 fL V. The graph shows how the value of the
reference voltage can influence the results of the final count.
Errors caused by the low-frequency buffer noise may be
reduced by increased integration times.

Interrupt Operation
One solution to overcome this condition is to have the
microprocessor monitor the comparator output. It can then
end the deintegration phase as soon as it sees a zero.
Another solution is to have the microprocessor enable
the interrupt and look althe comparator output. If the output
is high, the interrupt will be properly triggered. If the output
is low, end the deintegration phase and disable the interrupt.
Either solution will produce, reliable low voltage conversions.

The comparator output stays low during the Integration
phase (A=1 , 9=0) whenever the input polarity is negative. In
those cases where the input polarity is negative AND very
near zero, the zero-crossing occurs before the comparator
has had a chance to go positive. Thus, no negative-edge will
be generated and the microprocessor will not be interrupted.
With a negative input voltage very near zero, the output
of the comparator does not have enough time to get full
positive. This anomaly is caused by the comparator delay
and rise time limitations.

package)

INTERFACING

The direct output mode is a fully complemented microprocessor interface which can support either an 8 or 16 bit
data bus. The microprocessor programming has direct
control over the data transfer technique. The status bit
(STATUS) from the TC804 supplies the information to. the
microprocessor to insure proper timing and data handling.
The TC804 will be in the direct output mode as long as
the MODE input is LOW. An internal pull-down resistor
insures that this is the default mode if it is left unconnected.
When the TC804 is in the indirect mode, OUTPUT
ENABLE (OE), LOW BYTE ENABLE (LBEN) and HIGH
BYTE ENABLE (HBEN) become inputs. These inputs are
then used to control the data transfer. The DATA REQUEST
(DRQST) input is not used and should be tied HIGH. (see
"DIRECT Interfacing")

Direct Mode
Combinations of chip enable and byte enable control
signals which may be used when interfacing the TC804 to
parallel data lines are shown in Figure 2. The OE input may
be tied low, allowing either byte to be controlled by its own
enable (Figure 2A). Figure 2B shows the HBEN and LBEN
as flag inputs, and OE as a master enable, which could be
the READ strobe available from most microprocessors.
Figure 2C shows a configuration where the two byte enables
are connected together. The OE is a chip select, and the
HBEN and LBEN may be used as a second chip select or
connected to ground.

Direct Output Mode Data Transfer

OE

AS INPUT

The low order byte (bits 1 through 8) and the high order
byte (bits 9 through 12 plus the polarity and overrang~ bits)
are accessible under control of OE (pin 38), LBEN (Pin 40)
and HBEN (pin 41). These three inputs are all active LOW.
Internal pullup resistors are provided for an inactive HIGH
when left open. A LOW on OE will permit a LOW on input
HBEN and/or LBEN to output data to the bus. A LOW on
HBEN selects the 6-bit high data byte, a LOW on LBEN
selects the 8-bit low data byte and a LOW on both HBEN and
LBEN selects the whole 14-bit data word.
The access of data should be synchronized with the
conversion cycle by monitoring the STATUS output (pin 45).
This will prevent accessing the data while it is being updated.

Handshake Mode (MODE

Full-Time Parallel Interface to MCS-48, -80, -85 Microcomputer

=1 orJl)

Handshake Mode Data Transfer
The TC804 actively controls the data transferto peripherals through the handshake data transfer mode. In this
mode, OE (pin 38), LBEN (pin 40) and HBEN (pin 41) are
each TTL compatible outputs. A LOW on OE Signals that
valid data is available forthe peripheral. A LOW on HBEN or
LBEN indicates which data byte is being transferred. A HIGH
input to the TC804 on DROST (pin 38) initializes the data
transfer. The high byte is transferred first followed by the low
byte. Data DROST may be taken LOW to delay the transfer
between data bytes.
Handshake output sequences may be performed on
demand by triggering the converter into handshake mode
with a low to high edge on the MODE input. A handshake
output sequence triggered is shown in Figure 5. The DROST
input is low when the converter enters handshake mode.
The whole output sequence is controlled by the DROST
input, and the sequence for the first (high order) byte is
similar to the sequence for the second byte.
These diagrams also show that the output sequence
can take longer than a conversion cycle. New data will not
be latched when the handshake mode is still in progress and
is therefore lost.

The handshake mode is an alternative means of interfacing the TC804 to digital systems. It provides a means for
having the TC804 become active in controlling the flow of
data. This mode allows a direct interface between the TC804
and standard UART's with no external logic required. The
TC804 provides all the control and flag signals necessary to
sequence the data into the UART and initiate the serial
transmission.
The handshake mode is activated when the MODE
input pin is held high. The data transfer sequence is started
at the end of the conversion cycle and after new data has
been stored in the output latches.
The data transfer sequence may also be initiated at any
time during the conversion cycle by a positive going pulse
applied to the MODE pin. If the low to high transition occurs
while new data is being stored, the entry into the handshake
mode is delayed until the data is stable.
Whenever the handshake mode has been activated,
OUTPUT ENABLE (OE), LOW BYTE ENABLE (LBEN) and
HIGH BYTE ENABLE (HBEN) become outputs. These
outputs are then used to "talk to" the UART. The DATA
REOUEST (DROST) input is used by the UART to transfer
data. (see "UART Interfacing")

TC804 ANALOG MULTIPLEXER
The on-board analog multiplexer can be configured for
eight channel, single-ended input or for four channel, differential input. The signal/differential input (SIG/DIF) selects
the configuration. The eight channel mode is selected when
SIG/DIF (pin 4) is tied HIGH and the four channel mode is
selected when SIGIDIF is tied LOW. Either mode of operation permits both latched and transparent addressing.

A LOW on the reset input (RST) or writing a low into the
enable input (EN) opens all (4 or 8) channels which permits
direct input through the dedicated analog inputs (VIN+ and
VIN-). An external analog multiplexer may be used instead
of the internal multiplexer or in conjunction with it. (See
"Analog Multiplexer Expansion").

Single-Ended/Differential (SIG/DIF, pin 4)

The analog section of the TC804 will perform conversions at a rate determined by the clock frequency and the
inputs to the Conversion Rate Selection (bit 0, pin 7 and bil
1, pin 8). (See Conversion Rate table page 20).
Each measurement cycle is divided into four phases.
They are: 1) Auto-Zero (AZ), 2) Signal Integrate (INT), 3)
Reference Deinlegrate (DE) and 4) Zero Integrate (ZI).

If SIG/DIF is HIGH then the 8-channel, single-ended
mode is selected. If SIGIDIF is LOW then the 4-channel,
differential mode is selected.
The analog multiplexer has an internal address
demultiplexer which is configured as either a "2 of 8" f~r 4channel operation or as a "1 of 8" for 8-channel operation.

1) Auto-Zero

Write (WR, pin 6)
The WR input may be held LOW in order to employ
transparent address operation. In transparent operation, the
multiplexer switches respond directly to the inputs on the
address lines (Ao, A" A2) and Enable input (EN, pin 13).
The "latched" mode is entered whenever WR goes
HIGH. The inputs on the address lines have no effect on the
multiplexer switches until WR is pulsed LOW. These address lines may now be used for another purpose.

Write Enable (WE, pin 5)

The Auto-Zero phase has a duration of from 2048 10
6144 counts. During this phase, the analog input Signal and
reference voltage are disconnected from the analog section.
The Auto-Zero capacitor (CAZ) is charged to a value which
represents the total system offsets. The charge on CAZ will
then be used to compensate the input during the signal
integrate (INT) and the reference deintegrate (DE) phase~.
This phase is also used to charge the reference capacItor (CREF) to the value of the reference voltage.

2) Signal Integrate

The WE input must be LOW in order for the WR input to
be enabled. The WE and WR inputs are AND'ed internally.

The Signal Integrate phase is selected for 2048 counts
(Integrate Count). During this phase, the analog input Signal
is connected to the input of the buffer amplifier. The integrating amplifier will charge the integrate capacitor (CINT) at a
rate determined by the value of the input signal.
At the end of the signal integrate phase, the voltage on
CINT will be equal to:

Enable (EN, pin 13)
The EN input is like an address input in that it may also
be latched in by a LOW to HIGH transition on the WR input.

Reset (RST, pin 7)
VINT = VIN x Integrate Count x fcLOCK
RINT • CINT

The RST input overrides all other inputs to the analog
multiplexer. All of the multiplexer switches are open whenever RST is LOW.

(equ 1)

3) Reference Deintegrate

ANALOG MULTIPLEXER EXPANSION

The length of the Reference Deintegrate phase is determined by the absolute value of the voltage on CINT at the end
of the Signal Integrate phase, (Le. VINT). The reference
capacitor (CREF) is connected to the input of .the buffer
amplifier in the opposite phase of the Input signal. The
integrating amplifier will then cause the integrate ~apacit~r
(CINT) to start discharging at a constant rate. ThiS rate IS
determined by the value of the reference voltage. The 12-bit
counter counts clock pulses during this phase and stops
when CINT is fully discharged (Le. zero-crossing).
The final count of the 12-bit counter is the binary value
of the input signal and is equal to:

The analog multiplexer section of the TC804 may be
expanded by using an external multiplexer either in conjunc.
tion with, or instead of, the internal multiplexer.
The extemal multiplexer may be selected at any time
when the internal multiplexer is disconnected:
A LOW on the RST input or writing a logic LOW into the
enable bit (EN, WR, and WE are LOW) will disconnect the
internal multiplexer output from the analog input to the
TC804 converter.
If an external analog multiplexer is to be used alone then
RST should be tied LOW. If an external analog multiplexer
is to be used in conjunction with the on-board multiplexer,
EN should be used to switch between multiplexers.

4) Zero Integrate

De-Integrate Phase (DI)

The Zero-Integrate phase is invoked only when an
overrange has occurred. It has a duration of up to 1024
counts. This phase is used to completely discharge CAZ and
CINT prior to the Auto-Zero phase. This insures that there is
no residual charge on either capacitor which may cause a
false auto-zero.

Input high is connected across the previously charged
reference capacitor and input low is internally connected to
analog common. Circuitry within the chip ensures that the
capacitor will be connected with the correct polarity to cause
the integrator output to return to the zero crossing (established by AUTO-ZERO) with a fixed slope. The time, represented by the numberof clock periods counted fortheoutput
to return to zero, is proportional to the input signal.

Dual Slope Conversion Equation
(combine equ 1 and equ 2)
Deintegrate Count =

VIN
VREF

Zero-Integrator Phase (ZI)

x Integrate Count

The ZI phase only occurs when an input overrange
condition exists. The function of the ZI phase is to eliminate
residual charge on the integrator capacitor after an overrange
measurement. Unless removed, the residual charge will be
transferred to the auto-zero capacitor and cause an error in
the succeeding conversion.
The ZI phase virtually eliminates hysteresis or "cross
talk" in multiplexed systems. An overrange input on one
channel will not cause an error on the next channel measured. This feature is especially useful in thermocouple
measurements, where unused (or broken thermocouple)
inputs are pulled to the positive supply rail.
During ZI, the reference capacitor is charged to the
reference voltage. The Signal inputs are disconnected from
the buffer and integrator. The comparator output is connected to the buffer input, causing the integrator output to be
driven rapidly to OV (Figure 8). The ZI phase only occurs
following an overrange and lasts for a maximum of 1024
clock periods.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Analog Section
The Functional Diagram shows a block diagram of the
Analog Section of the TC804. The circuit will perform conversions at a rate determined by the clock frequency (8192
clock periods per cycle), when the RUN/HOLD input is left
open or connected to V+. Each measurement cycle is
divided into four phases as shown in Figure 8. They are: (1)
Auto-Zero (Al), (2) Signal Integrate (INT), (3) Reference
Deintegrate (DE), and (4) Zero Integrator (ZI).

Auto-Zero Phase (AZ)
The buffer and the integrator inputs are disconnected
from input high and input low and connected to analog
common. The reference capacitor is charged to the reference voltage. A feedback loop is closed around the system
to charge the auto-zero capacitor, CAZ, to compensate for
offset voltage in the buffer amplifier, integrator, and comparator. Since the comparator is included in the loop, the Al
accuracy is limited only by the noise ofthe system. The offset
referred to the input is less than 101lV.

Differential Input
The TC804 has been optimized for operation with analog-common near digital ground. With +5V and -5V power
supplies, a full ±4V full-scale integrator swing maximizes the
analog section's performance.
A typical CMRR of 86dB is achieved for input differential
voltages anywhere within the typical common-mode range
of 1.0 Volts below the positive supply to 1.5 Volts above the
negative supply. However, for optimum performance the
VIN+ and VIN- inputs should not come within 2V of either
supply rail. Since the integrator also swings with the common-mode voltage, care must be exercised to assure the
integrator does not saturate. A worst case condition is near
a full-scale negative differential input voltage with a large
positive common-mode voltage. The negative input signal
drives the integrator positive when most of its swing has
been used up by the positive common-mode Voltage. In
such cases, the integrator swing can be reduced to less than

Signal Integrate Phase (51)
The buffer and integrator inputs are removed from
COMMON and connected to input high and input low. The
auto-zero loop is opened. The auto-zero capacitor is placed
in series in the loop to provide an equal and opposite
compensating offset voltage. The differential voltage between input high and input low is integrated for a fixed time
of 2048 clock periods. At the end of this phase, the polarity
of the integrated signal is determined. If the input signal has
no return to the converter power supply, input low can be tied
to analog common to establish the correct common-mode
voltage.

04
the recommended ±4V full-scale value, with some loss of
accuracy. The integrator output can swing to within 0.3 Volts
of either supply without loss of linearity.

Differential Reference
The reference voltage can be generated anywhere
within the power supply voltage of the converter. Rollover
voltage is the main source of common-mode error. It is
caused by the reference capacitor losing or gaining charge
due to stray capacity on its nodes. With a large commonmode voltage, the reference capacitor can gain charge
(increase voltage) when called upon to deintegrate a
positive signal and lose charge (decrease voltage) when
called upon to deintegrate a negative input signal. This
difference in reference for (+) or H input voltage will cause
a roll-over error. This error can be held to less than 0.5 count
worst case by using a large reference capacitor in comparison to the stray capacitance. To minimize roll-over error
from these above sources keep the reference commonmode voltage near or at analog common.

Digital Section
The digital section is shown in the block diagram,
(Figure 9), and includes the clock oscillator and scaling
circuit, a 12-bit binary counter with output latches and TTLcompatible three-state output drivers, UART handshake
logic, polarity, overrange and control logic.
Inputs driven from TTL gates should have 3-5KQ pullup resistors added for maximum noise immunity. For minimum power consu mption , all inputs should swingfromGND
(low) to V+ (high).

STATUS Output
During a conversion cycle, the STATUS output goes
high at the beginning of Signal Integrate and goes low onehalf clock period after new data from the conversion has
been stored in the output latches. See Figure B. The signal
may be used as a "data valid" flag to drive interrupts, or for
monitoring the status of the converter. (Data will not change
while STATUS is low). Status is also output on Data BitB,
when the TCB04 is in direct mode (Mode = 0, LBEN = 1,
HBEN = 0).

MODE input is pulsed high, the converter enters the UART
handshake mode and outputs the data in two bytes, then
retums to "direct" mode. When the MODE input is kept high,
the converter will output data in the handshake mode at the
end of every conversion cycle. With MODE = 0 (Direct BUS
Transfer) the DRQST input should be tied to V+. (See
Handshake Mode Section).

RUN/HOLD Input
With RUN/HOLD high or open, the circuit operates
normally as a dual slope AID as shown in Figure B. Conversion cycles operate continuously with the output latches
updated after zero crossing in the deintegrate mode. An
intemal pull-up resistor is provided to insure a high level with
an open input.
The RUN/HOLD may be used to shorten conversion
time. If the RUN/HOLD goes low at anytime after zero
crossing in the de-integrate mode, the circuit will jump to
auto-zero and eliminate that portion of time normally spent
in de-integrate.
If RUN/HOLD stays or goes low the conversion will
complete with minimum time in de-integrate. It will stay in
auto-zero for the minimum time and wait in auto-zero for a
high in the RUN/HOLD input. As shown in Figure 10, the
STATUS output will go high seven clock periods after RUN/
HOLD is changed to high, and the converter will begin the
integrate phase of the next conversion.
The RUN/HOLD input allows controlled conversion interface. The converter may be held at idle in auto-zero with
RUN/HOLD low. The conversion is started when RUN/
HOLD goes high and the new data is valid when the
STATUS output goes low (or is transferred to the UARTsee Handshake Mode). Run/HOLD may now go low, terminating de integrate and ensuring a minimum auto-zero time
before stopping to wait for the next conversion. Conversion
time can be minimized by ensuring RUN/HOLD goes low
during deintegrate, after zero crossing, and goes high after
the hold point is reached. The required activity on the RUN/
HOLD input can be provided by connecting itto the Buffered
Oscillator output. In this mode, the input value measured
determines the conversion time.

Signal Integrate Phase (SIP) Output
The SIP output is high when the TCB04 is in the Signal
integrate phase of a conversion. SIP should be used to
control multiplexer address changes. The fall;ng edge of SIP
indicates that the TCB04 has completed signal integration
for the current conversion cycle, and that the analog input
can be changed. Changing the multiplexer address on the
falling edge of SIP will guarantee maximum analog input
signal settling time before the next conversion.

MODE Input
The output mode of the converter is controlled by the
MODE Input. The converter is in its "Direct" output mode,
when the MODE pin is low or left open. The output data is
directly accessible under the control of the chip and byte
enable inputs (this input is provided with a pull-down resistor
to ensure a low level when the pin is left open). When the

are added to the OSCillator, as shown in Figure 11. A crystal
is then connected to the OSCl and OSCO inputs. In this
configuration, the oscillator will operate with most crystals in
the 1 to 5 MHz range.
The conversion rate is pin programmable, using the FSO
and FSl inputs. The frequency select divider will divide the
oscillator frequency by 2, 4, 8 or 16. The buff~red ADC
system clock is available at the SYSCLK output. Divider
values can be hard-wired or jurnper selected, or can be
controlled by software via two bits of a f.lP output port. The
divider truth table is shown in Figure 12.

The TC804 is designed to operate with an internal
crystal oscillator or with an external clock. The oscillator
mode is selected with the INT/EXT input. A programmable
divider permits control of the conversion rate, using hardware or software, over a range of 8 to 1.
For external oscillator operation, the INT/EXT input is
connected to DGND. The external oscillator is connected to
the OSCl input, as shown in Figure 10. The oscillator signal
should swing from DGND to V+. The ADC system clock
frequency will be the oscillator frequency divided by the
value selected by the frequency select divider.
Connecting INT/EXT to V+ enables the internal crystal
oscillator. Two on-chip capacitors and a feedback device

Test Input

Integrating Capacitor

The counter and its outputs may be tested easily. When
the TEST input is connected to DGND, the intemal clock is
disabled, and the counter outputs are all forced into the high
state. When the input returns tothe 1/2 (V+- DGND) voltage
or to V+ and one clock is input, the counter outputs will all be
clocked to the low state.
The counter output latches are enabled when the TEST
input is taken to a level halfway between V+ and DGND
allowing the counter contents to be examined anytime.

The integrating capacitor CINT should be selected to
give the maximum integrator output voltage swing that will
not saturate the integrator to within 0.3V from either supply.
A ±3.5V to ±4V integrator output swing is nominal for the
TC804 with ±5V supplies and ANALOG COMMON connectedto DGND. For7-1/2 conversions persecond (61. 72Hz
internal clock frequency) nominal values CINT and Cp;z are
0.15J.lF and 0.33J.lF, respectively. These values should be
changed if different clock frequencies are used to maintain
the integrator output voltage swing. The value of CINT is
given by:

Component Value Selection

(2048 x Clock Period) (20j.lA)

The integrator output swing for full-scale should be as
large as possible. For example, with ±5V supplies and
ANALOG COMMON connected to DGND, the nominal
integrator output swing at full-scale is ±4V. Since the integrator output can go to 0.3V from either supply without
significantly effecting linearity, a 4V integrator output swing
allows 0.7V for variations in output swing due to component
value and oscillator tolerances. With ±5V supplies and a
common-mode voltage range of ±1 V required, the component values should be selected to provide ±3V integrator
output swing. Noise and rollover errors will be slightly worse
than in the ±4V case. For large common-mode voltage
ranges, the integrator output swing must be reduced further.
This will increase both noise and rollover errors. To improve
the performance, ±6V supplies may be used.

CINT=

Integrator Output Voltage Swing (VINT)

Integrating Converter Features
The output of integrating AID converters represents the
integral or average of an input voltage over a fixed period of
time. Compared with techniques in which the input is
sampled and held, the integrating converter will average the
effects of noise. A second important characteristic is that
time is used to quantise the ariswer, resulting in extremely
small non-linearity errors and no missing output codes. The
integrating converter also has very good rejection of frequencies whose periods are an integral multiple of the
measurement period. This feature can be used to advantage in reducing line frequency noise. (Figure 13.)

1S-BIT, FAST-INTEGRATING CMOS
ANALOG-TO-OIGITAL CONVERTER
TC8S0
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC850 is a monolithic CMOS analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) with resolution of 15 bits plus sign. It
combines a chopper-stabilized buffer and integrator with a
unique multiple-slope integration technique that increases
conversion speed. The result is 16 times improvement in
speed over previous 15-bit, monolithic integrating ADCs
(from 2.5 conversions per sec up to 40 per sec). Faster
conversion speed is especially welcome in systems with
human interface, such as digital scales.
The TCS50 incorporates an ADC and a ~P-compatible
digital interface. Only a voltage reference and a few noncritical passive components are required to form a complete 15bit plus sign ADC.
CMOS processing provides the TC850 with highimpedance differential inputs. Input bias current is typically
only 30 pA, permitting direct interface to sensors. Input
sensitivity of 100 ~V per least significant bit (LSB) eliminates
the need for precision external amplifiers. The internal
amplifiers are auto-zeroed , guaranteeing a zero digital output
with OV analog input. Zero adjustment potentiometers or
calibrations are not required.

The TCS50 outputs data on an 8-bit, 3-state bus. Digital
inputs are CMOS compatible; outputs are TTUCMOS compatible. Chip-enable and byte-select inputs combined with
an end-of-conversion output ensures easy interfacing to a
wide variety of microprocessors. Conversions can be performed continuously or on command. In continuous mode,
data is read as three consecutive bytes and manipulation of
address lines is not required.
Operating from ±5V supplies, the TC850 dissipates only
20 mW. It is packaged in 40-pin plastic or ceramic dual-inline packages (DIPs) and in a 44-pin plastic leaded chip
carrier (PLCC), surface-mount package.

are immune to the large conversion errors that plague
successive approximation converters in high-noise environments.
A simple mathematical equation relates the input Signal,
reference voltage, and integration time:

THEORY OF OPERATION
The TC850 is a multiple-slope, integrating analog-todigital converter (ADC). The multiple-slope conversion process, combined with chopper-stabilized amplifiers, results
in a significant increase in ADC speed, while maintaining
very high resolution and accuracy.

_l__ft sl V
RC

Dual-Slope Conversion Principles

IN

(t) dt = _VR tF!!_

where: VR = Reference voltage
tSI = Signal integration time (fixed)
tRI = Reference voltage integration time (variable).

The conventional dual-slope converter measurement
cycle (shown in Figure 2A) has two distinct phases:
(1) Input signal integration

Multiple-Slope Conversion Principles

(2) Reference voltage integration (deintegration)
The input signal being converted is integrated for a fixed
time period, measured by counting clock pulses. An opposite polarity constant reference voltage is then integrated
until the integrator output voltage returns to zero. The
reference integration time is directly proportional to the input
signal.
In a simple dual-slope converter, complete conversion
requires the integrator output to "ramp-up" and "rampdown." Most dual-slope converters add a third phase, autozero. During auto-zero, offset voltages of the input buffer,
integrator, and comparator are nulled, thereby eliminating
the need for zero-offset adjustments.
Dual-slope converter accuracy is unrelated to the integrating resistor and capaCitor values, as long as they are
stable during a measurement cycle. By converting the
unknown analog input voltage into an easily-measured
function of time, the dual-slope converter reduces the need
for expensive, precision passive components.
Noise immunity is an inherent benefit of the integrating
conversion method. Noise spikes are integrated, or averaged, to zero during the integration period. Integrating ADCs

One limitation of the dual-slope measurement technique is conversion speed. In a typical dual-slope method,
the auto-zero and integrate times are each one-half of the
deintegrate time. For a 15-biI conversion, 214 + 214 + 2 15
(65,536) clock pulses are required for auto-zero, integrate,
and deintegrate phases, respectively. The large number of
clock cycles effectively limits the conversion rate to a.bout
2.5 conversions per second, when a typical analog CMOS
fabrication process is used.
The TC850 uses a multiple-slope conversion technique
to increase conversion speed (Figure 28). This technique
makes use of a two-slope deintegration phase and permits
15-bit resolution up to 40 conversions per second.
During the TC850's deintegration phase, the integration
capaCitor is rapidly discharged to yield a resolution of 9 bits.
At this point, some charge will remain on the capacitor. This
remaining charge is then slowly deintegrated, producing an
additional 6 bits of resolution. The result is 15 bits of
resolution achieved with only 29 + 26 (512 + 64, or 576) clock
pulses fordeintegration. A complete conversion cycle occupies only 1280 clock pulses.

Zero-Integrator Phase

•• 100 pF Mica capacitors.

Figure 1

During the zero-integrator phase, the differential input
signal is disconnected from the circuit by opening internal
analog gates. The internal nodes are shorted to analog
common (ground) to establish a zero-input condition. At the
same time, a feedback loop is closed around the input buffer,
integrator, and comparator. The feedback loop ensures the
integrator output is near OV before the signal-integrate
phase begins.
During this phase, a chopper-stabilization technique is
used to cancel offset errors in the input buffer, integrator,
and comparator. Error voltages are stored on the CSUFF,
CINT, and COMP capacitors. The zero-integrate phase
requires 246 clock cycles.

Standard Circuit Configuration

In order to generate "fast-slow" integration phases, two
voltage references are required. The primary reference
(VREF1) is set to one-half of the full-scale voltage (typically
VREFl
1.6384V, and VFS
3.2768V). The secondary
voltage reference (VREF2) is set to VREF1/64 (typically 25.6
mV). To maintain 15-bit linearity, a tolerance of 0.5% for
VREF2 is recommended.

ANALOG SECTION DESCRIPTION
The TC850 analog section consists of an input buffer
amplifier, integrator. amplifier, comparator, and analog
switches. A simplified block diagram is shown in Figure 3.

Signal-Integrate Phase
The zero-integrator loop is opened and the internal
differential inputs are connected to IN+ and IN-. The differential input signal is integrated for a fixed time period. The
TC850 signal-integrate period is 256 clock periods, or counts.
The crystal oscillator frequency is +4 before clocking the
internal counters.

Conversion Timing
Each conversion consists of three phases: (1) Zero
Integrator, (2) Signal Integrate, and (3) Reference Integrate
(or Deintegrate). Each conversion cycle requires 1280 internal clock cycles (Figure 4).

Duringthe slowdeintegrate phase, the internal VIN+ node
is now connected to the CREF2 capacitor, and the residual
charge on the integrator capacitor is further discharged a
maximum of 64 clock pulses. At this point, the analog input
voltage has been converted with 15 bits of resolution.
If the analog input is greater than full scale, the TC850
performs up to three overrange deintegrate subphases.
Each subphase occupies a maximum of 64 clock pulses.
The overrange feature permits analog inputs up to 192 LSBs
greater than full scale to be correctly converted. This feature
permits the user to digitally null up to 192 counts of input
offset, while retaining full 15-bit resolution.
In addition to 512 counts of fast, 64 counts of slow, and
192 counts of overrange deintegrate, the reference-integrate phase uses 10 clock pulses to permit internal nodes to
settle. Therefore, the reference integrate cycle occupies 778
clock pulses.

fasc

Reference-Integrate Phase
During reference-integrate phase, the charge stored on
the integrator capacitor is discharged. The time required to
discharge the capacitor is proportional to the analog input
voltage.
The reference integrate phase is divided into three
subphases: (1) fast, (2) slow, and (3) overrange deintegrate.
During fast deintegrate, VIN- is intemally connected to
analog common and VIN+ is connected across the previously-charged reference capacitor (CREF1). The integrator
capacitor is rapidly discharged for a maximum of 512 internal clock pulses, yielding 9 bits of resolution.

ANALOG-TO;'OIGITAL CONVERTER
TC8S0
Pin Description (Analog)
Differential Inputs (IN+ and IN-)
The analog signal to be measured is applied at the IN+
and IN- inputs. The differential input voltage must be within
the common-mode range of the converter. The input common-mode range extends from Vs+ -1.5V to Vs- +1.5V.
Within this common-mode voltage range, an 86 dB CMRR
is typical.
The integrator output also follows the common-mode
voltage. The integrator output must not be allowed to saturate. A worst-case condition exists, for example, when a
large, positive common-mode voltage with a near full-sc~le
negative differential input voltage is applied. The negative
input signal drives the integrator positive when most of its
available swing has been used up by the positive commonmode voltage. For applications where maximum commonmode range is critical, integrator swing can be reduced. The
integrator output can swing within O.4V of either supply
without loss of linearity.

The reference voltage inputs are fully differential, and
the reference voltage can be generated anywhere within the
power supply voltage ofthe converter. However, to minimize
roll-over error, especially at high conversion rates, keep the
reference common-mode voltage (Le., REF-) near or at the
analog common potential. All voltage reference inputs are
high impedance. Average reference input current is typically
only 30 pA.

Analog Common (COMMON)
Analog common is used as the IN- return during the
zero-integrator and deintegrate phases of each conversion.
If IN- is at a different potential than analog common, a
common-mode voltage exists in the system. This signal is
rejected by the 86 dB CMRR of the converter. However, in
most applications, IN- will be set at a fixed, known voltage
(power supply common, for instance). In this case, analog
common should be tied to the same point so that the
common-mode voltage is eliminated.

DIGITAL SECTION DESCRIPTION

Differential Reference (VREF)
The TC850 requires two reference voltage sources in
order to generate the "fast-slow" deintegrate phases. The
main voltage reference (VREF1) is applied between th.e
REF1+ and REF- pins. The secondary reference (VREF2) IS
applied between the REF2+ and REF- pins.

The TC850 digital section consists oftwo sets of conversion counters, control and sequencing logic, clock oscillator
and divider, data latches, and an 8-bit, 3-state interface bus.
A simplified schematic of the bus interface logic is shown in
Figure 5.

Demand Mode Operation
When CONT/DEMAND is low, the TC850 performs one
conversion each time the chip is selected and the WR input
is pulsed low. Data is valid on the falling edge of the BUSY
output and can be accessed using the interface truth table
(Table I).

The TC850 includes a crystal oscillator on-chip. All that
is required is to connect a crystal across OSCl and OSC2
pins, and to add two inexpensive capacitors (Figure 1). The
oscillator output is +4 prior to clocking the AID internal
counters. For example, a 100 kHz crystal produces a system
clock frequency of 25 kHz. Since each conversion requires
1280 clock periods, in this case the conversion rate will be
25,000/1280, or 19.5 conversions per second.
In most applications, however, an external clock is
divided down from the microprocessor clock. In this case,
the OSCl pin is used as the external oscillator input and
OSC2 is left unconnected. The external clock driver should
swing from digital ground to Vs+. The +4 function is active for
both external clock and crystal oscillator operations.

Continuous Mode Operation
When CONT/DEMAND is high, the TC850 continuously
performs conversions. Data will be valid on the falling edge
of the BUSY output, and remains valid for 443-1/2 clock
cycles.
The low/high (LiR) byte-select and overrange/polarity
(OVR/POL) inputs are disabled during continuous mode
operation. Data must be read in three consecutive bytes, as
shown in Table I.

Digital Operating Modes

NOTE: In continuous mode, the conversion result must be read within 443·
1/2 clock cycles of the BUSY output falling edge. After this time (I.e., 1/2
clock cycle before BUSY goes high) the internal counters are reset and the
data is lost.

Two modes of operation are available with the TC850,
continuous conversions and on-demand. The operating
mode is controlled by the CONT/DEMAND input. The bus
interface method is different for continuous and demand
modes of operation.

NOTES: 1. Pin numbers refer to 40-pin DIP.
2. Extended overrange operation: Although rated at 15 bits (±32,767 counts) of resolution. the TC850 provides an additional 191 counts
above full scale. For example, with a full-scale input of 3.2768V, the maximum analog input voltage which will be properly converted is
3. 2958V. The extended resolution is signified by the overrange bit being high and the low-order byte contents being between 0 and 190.
For example, with a full-scale voltage of 3.2768V:

3. Continuous mode data transfer:
a. In continuous mode. data MUST be read in three sequenlial bytes after the BUSY oulput goes low:
(1) The first byte read will be the high-order byte, with DB7 = polarity.
(2) The second byte read will contain the low-order byte.
(3) The third byte read will again be the high-order byte, but with DB7 = overrange.
b. All three data bytes must be read within 443-1/2 clock cycles after the falling edge of BUSY.
_
c. The RD input must go high after each byte is read, so that the internal byte counter will be incremented. However. the CS and CE
inputs can remain enabled through the entire data transfer sequence.

pulsed low. The conversion is complete and data can be
read after the falling edge of the BUSY output. In demand
mode, data can be read in any sequence, and remains valid
until WR is again pulsed low.

Chip Select and Chip Enable (CS and CE)
The CS and CE inputs permit easy interfacing to a
variety of digital bus systems. CE is active low while CS is
active high. These inputs are logically ANDed internally and
are used to enable the RD and WR inputs.

Busy Output (BUSY)
The BUSY output is used to convey an end-of-conversion to external logic. BUSY goes high at the beginning of
the deintegrate phase and goes low at the end of the
conversion cycle. Data is valid on the falling edge of BUSY.
The output-high period is fixed at 836 clock periods, regardless of the analog input value. BUSY is active during
continuous and demand mode operation.
This output can also be used to generate an end-o/conversion interrupt in ~P-based systems. Noninterruptdriven systems can poll BUSY to determine when data is
valid.

Write Enable Input (WR)
The write input is used to initiate a conversion when the
TC850 is in demand mode. CS and CE must be active forthe
WR input to be recognized. The status of the data bus is
meaningless during the WR pulse, because no data is
actually written into the TC850.
Read Enable Input (RD)
_
The read input, combined with CS and CE, enables the
3-state data bus outputs. Also, in continuous mode, the
rising edge of the RD input activates an internal byte counter
to sequentially read the three data bytes.

ANALOG SECTION APPLICATIONS

Component Selection

Low/High Byte Select (L/H)
The uH input determines whether the low (least significant) byte or high (most Significant) byte of data is placed on
the 3-state data bus. This input is meaningful only when the
TC850 is in the demand mode. In the continuous mode, data
must be read in three predetermined bytes, so the uH input
is ignored.

Reference Voltage
The typical value for reference voltage VREF1 is 1.6384V.
This value yields a full-scale voltage of 3.2768V and resolution of 100 ~V per step. The VREF2 value is derived by
dividing VREF1 by 64. Thus, typical VREF2 value is 1.6384VI
64, or 25.6 mY. The VREF2 value should be adjusted within
±1 % to maintain 15-bit accuracy for the total conversion
process; i.e.,

Overrange/Polarity Bit Select (OVR/POL)
The TC850 provides 15 bits of resolution, plus polarity
and overrange bits. Thus, 17 bits of information must be
transferred on an 8-bit data bus. To accomplish this, the
overrange and polarity bits are multiplexed onto data bit DB7
of the most significant byte. When OVR/POL is high, DB7 of
the high byte contains the overrange status (high = analog
input overrange, low = input within full scale). When OVRI
POL is low, DB7 is high for positive analog input polarity and
low for negative polarity. The OVR/POL input ~ meaningful
only when CS, CE, and RD are active, and UH is low (I.e.,
the most significant byte is selected). OVR/POL is ignored
when the TC850 is in continuous mode.

VREF1
VREF2 = - ± 101
10.
64
The reference voltage is not limited to exactly 1.6384V,
however, because the TC850 performs a ratiometric conversion. Therefore, the conversion result will be:
Digital counts =

--y~-. 16384.
VREF1

The full-scale voltage can range from 3.2V to 3.5V. Fullscale voltages of less than 3.2V will result in increased noise
in the least significant bits, while a full-scale above 3.5V will
exceed the input common-mode range.

Continuous/Demand Mode Input (CONT/DEMAND)
This input controls the TC850 operating mode. When
CONT/DEMAND is high, the TC8S0 performs conversions
continuously. In continuous mode, data must be read in the
prescribed sequence shown in Table I. Also, all three data
bytes must be read within 443-1/2 internal clock cycles after
the BUSY output goes low. After 443-1/2 clock cycles data
will be lost.
When CONT/DEMAND is low, the TC850 begins a
conversion each time CS and CE are active and WR is

The integration capacitor should be selected to produce

is easily calculated:

C

VFS. 4 • 256

where fCLOCK is the crystal or external oscillator frequency
and VFS is the maximum input voltage.
The integration capacitor should be selected for low
dielectric absorption to prevent roll-over errors. A polypropylene, polyester or polycarbonate dielectric capacitor is
recommended.

Reference Capacitors
The reference capacitors require a low leakage dielectric, such as polypropylene, polyester or polycarbonate. A
value of 1 I1F is recommended for operation over the temperature range. If high-temperature operation is not required, the CREF values can be reduced.

equal to one or more line frequency cycles. The desired
clock frequency is selected as follows:
fCLOCK = fNOISE

X

4 x 256,

where fNOISE is the noise frequency to be rejected, 4 represents the clock divider, and 256 is the number of integrate
cycles.
For example, 60 Hz nOise will be rejected with a clock
frequency of 61.44 kHz, giving a conversion rate of 12
conversions/sec. Integer submultiples of 61.44 kHz (such
as 30.72 kHz, etc.) will also reject 60 Hz noise. For 50 Hz
noise rejection, a 51.2 kHz frequency is recommended.
If noise rejection is not important, other clock frequencies can be used. The TC850 will typically operate at
conversion rates ranging from 3 to 40 conversions/sec,
corresponding to OSCillator frequencies from 15.36 kHz to
204.8 kHz.

Auto-Zero Capacitors
Five capacitors are required to auto-zero the input

polypropylene). Ceramic capacitors are not recommended.

DIGITAL SECTION APPLICATION
Oscillator

Figure 6

The TC850 may operate with a crystal oscillator. The
crystal selected should be designed for a Pierce oscillator,
such as an AT-cut quartz crystal. The crystal oscillator
schematic is shown in Figure 6.
Since low frequency crystals are very large and ceramic
resonators are too lossy, the TC850 clock should be derived
from an external source, such as a microprocessor clock.
The clock should be input on the OSCI pin and no connection should be made to the OSC2 pin. The external clock
should swing between DGND and Vs+.
Since oscillator frequency is +4 internally and each
conversion requires 1280 internal clock cycles, the conversion time will be:

Crystal Oscillator Schematic

Data Bus Interfacing
The TC850 provides an easy and flexible digital interface. A 3-state data bus and six control inputs permit the
TC850 to be treated as a memory device, in most applications. The conversion result can be accessed over an 8-bit
bus or via a I1P 110 port.
A typical I1P bus interface for the TC850 is shown in
Figure 7. In this example, the TC850 operates in the demand
mode, and conversion begins when a write operation is
performed to any decoded address space. The BUSY
output interrupts the I1P at the end-of-conversion.
The ND conversion result is read as three memory
bytes. The two LSBs of the address bus select high/low byte
and overrange/polarity bit data, while high-order address
lines enable the CE input.
Figure 8 shows a typical interface to a I1P I/O port or
single-chip I1C. The TC850 operates in the continuous
mode, and can either interrupt the I1C/I1P or be polled with
an input pin.

Conversion time = fCLOCK x 4 x 1280.
An important advantage of the integrating ADC is the
ability to reject periodic noise. This feature is most often
used to reject line frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz) noise. Noise
rejection is accomplished by selecting the integration period

ously. In continuous mode, data must be read in3 bytes, as
shown in Table I. The required RD pulses are provided by a
I!C/I!P output pin.
The circuit of Figure 8 can also operate in the demand
mode, with the start-up conversion strobe generated by a
I!C/I!P output pin. In this case, the UH and CaNT/DEMAND
inputs can be controlled by I/O pins and the RD input
connected to digital ground.

Demand Mode Interface Timing
When CaNT/DEMAND input is low, the TC850 performs a conversion each time CE and CS are active and WR
is strobed low.
The demand mode conversion timing is shown in Figure
9. BUSY goes low and data is valid 1155 clock pulses after
WR goes low. After BUSY goes low, 125 additional clock
cycles are required before the next conversion cycle will
begin.
Once conversion is started, WR is ignored for 1100
internal clock cycles. After 1100 clock cycles, another WR
pulse is recognized and initiates a new conversion when the
present conversion is complete. A negative edge on WR is
required to begin conversion. If WR is held low, conversions
will not occur continuously.
The ND conversion data is valid on the falling edge of
BUSY, and remains valid until one-half internal clock cycle
before BUSY goes high on the succeeding conversion.
BUSY can be monitored with an I/O pin to determine end of
conversion, or to generate a I!P interrupt.
In demand mode, the three data bytes can be read in
any desired order. The TC850 is simply regarded as three
bytes of memory and accessed accordingly. The bus output
timing is shown in Figure 10.

12-BIT /lP-COMPATIBLE ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTERS
FEATURES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•

The TC7l09A is a l2-bit plus sign, CMOS low-power
analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Only eight passive components and a crystal are required to form a complete dualslope integrating ADC.
The improved VOH source current TC7l09A has features that make it an attractive per-channel alternative to
analog multiplexing for many data acquisition applications.
These features include typical input bias current of 1 pA, drift
of less than 1 IlV/oC, input noise typically 15 IlVp-p, and
auto-zero. True dffferential input and reference allow measurement of bridge-type transducers such as load cells,
strain gauges, and temperature transducers.
The TC7109A provides a versatile digital interface. In
the direct mode, chip select and high/low byte enables
control parallel bus interface. In the handshake mode, the
TC71 09A will operate with industry-standard UARTs in controlling serial data transmission - ideal for remote data
logging. Control and monitoring of conversion timing is provided by the RUN/HOLD input and STATUS output.
For applications requiring more resolution, see the
TC500, l5-bit plus sign ADC data sheet.
The TC71 09A has improved overrange recovery performance and higher output drive capability than the original
TC7109. All new (or existing) designs should specify the
TC7109A wherever possible.

Handshake Mode
The handshake mode provides an interface to a wide
variety of external devices. The byte enables may be used
as byte identification flags or as load enables and external
latches may be clocked by the rising edge of CEILOAD. A
handshake interface to Intel microprocessors using an 8255
PPI is shown in Figure 19. The handshake operation with
the 8255 is controlled by inverting its Input Buffer Full (IBF)
flag to drive the SEND input to the TC71 09A, and using the
CE/LOAD to drive the 8255 strobe. The internal control
register of the PPI should be set in MODE 1 for the port
used. If the 8255 IBF flag is low and the TC7109A is in
handshake mode, the next word will be strobed into the
port. The strobe will cause IBF to go high (SEND goes low),
which will keep the enabled byte outputs active. The PPI
will generate an interrupt which, when executed, will result
in the data being read. The IBF will be reset low when the
byte is read, causing the TC7109A to sequence into the
next byte. The MODE input to the TC71 09A is connected to
the control line on the PPI.
The data from every conversion will be sequenced in
two bytes in the system, if this output is left high, or tied high
separately. (The data access must take less time than a
conversion.) The output sequence can be obtained on
demand if this output is made to go from low to high. and
the interrupt may be used to reset the MODE bit.
Conversions may be obtained on command under software control by driving the RUN/HOLD inputlo the TC71 09A

by a bit of the 8255. Another peripheral device may be
serviced by the unused port of the 8255. The 8155 may be
used in a similar manner. The MCS650X microprocessors
are shown in Figure 20 with MODE and RUN/HOLD tied
high to save port outputs.
The handshake mode is particularly useful for directly
interfacing to industry-standard UARTs (such as Western
Digital TR1602), providing a means of serially transmitting
converted data with minimum component count.
A typical UART connection is shown in Figure 1. In this
Circuit, any word received by the UART causes the UART
DR (Data Ready) output to go high. The MODE input to the
TC7109A goes high, triggering the TC7109A into handshake mode. The high-order byte is output to the UART
and when the UART has transferred the data to the Transmitter register, TBRE (SEND) goes high again, LBEN will
go high, driving the UART DRR (Data Ready Reset) which
will signal the end of the transfer of data from the TC71 09A
to the UART.
An extension of the typical connection to several
TC7109A's with one UART is shown in Figure 21. In this
circuit, the word received by the UART (available at the
RBR outputs when DR is high) is used to select which
converter will handshake with the UART. Up to eight
TC7109A's may interface with one UART, with no external
components. Up to 256 converters may be accessed on
one serial line with additional components.

Integrating Converter Features
The output of integrating ADCs represents the integral,
or average, of an input voltage over a fixed period of time.
Compared with techniques in which the input is sampled and
held, the integrating converter averages the effects of noise.
A second important characteristic is that time is used to
quantize the answer, resulting in extremely small, nonlinearity
errors and no missing output codes. The integrating converter also has very good rejection of frequencies whose
periods are an integral multiple of the measurement period.
This feature can be used to advantage in reducing line
frequency noise (Figure 22).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

PIN CONFIGURATION

The TC8702fTC8704ITC8705 are 10- and 12-bit monolithic CMOS analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Fully selfcontained in a single 24-pin dual-in-line package, each
converter requires only passive support components, reference and power supplies.
Conversion is performed by an incremental charge
balancing technique which has inherently high accuracy,
linearity and noise immunity. An amplifier integrates the sum
of the unknown analog current and pulses of a reference
current, and the number of pulses (charge increments)
needed to maintain the amplifier summing junction near·
zero are counted. At the end of conversion, the total count
is latched into the digital outputs as a 10- or 12-bit binary
word.
The TC8704/8705 features a three-state output bus
controlled by an output enable input. The output enable
control switches to a high impedance or off-state when held
high. The off-state allows bus-organized output connections. On the TC8702, outputs are always active.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
During conversion, the sum of a continuous current (liN)
and pulses of a reference current (IREF) is integrated for a
fixed number of clock periods. liN is proportional to the
analog voltage; IREF is switched in for exactly one clock
period just frequently enough to maintain the output of the
integrator near zero. Thus, the charge from the continuous
hN is balanced against the pulses of IREF. The total number
of IREF pulses needed during the conversion period to maintain the charge balance is counted, and the result (in binary)
is latched into the outputs at the end of the conversion.
The converter contains two counters and a clock, in
addition to an operational amplifier, comparator, latching
output buffers, and housekeeping logic. One counter is a
clock counter which starts counting clock pulses after a
reset pulse; when the required count is reached, the clock
counter generates a pulse to start the end-of-conversion
routine. The other counter is a data counter, which is reset
synchronously with the clock counter and counts the number of times IREF is switched into the summing input of the
amplifier during the period defined by the clock counter.
When the initiate conversion input is strobed with a
positive signal, the busy line latches high and a 10 Ils
(times given are approximate) start-up cycle begins. The
integrating capacitor is discharged and both counters are
reset during this start-up period. Conversion begins at the
end of the reset pulse and ends with a pulse generated
either by the clock counter or by an overflow condition in
the data counter. This pulse disables further inputs into
both counters and triggers a 10 Ils shutdown cycle. During
the shutdown cycle, data valid goes low for 5 1lS. This

binary sequence is shown in the timing diagrams. Busy is
true high and, when the circuit is busy, initiate conversion
has no effect and may be high or low. Data valid is also true
high. The data from a conversion remains valid for as long
as power is applied to the circuit or until data valid falls at
the end of a subsequent conversion, at which time the
output data is updated to reflect the latest conversion.

PIN FUNCTIONS
Initiate Conversion Input
Accepts CMOS and most +5V logic inputs. Applying a
logic "1" to the initiate conversion pin initiates the AID
conversion cycle. Once conversion has been initiated, the
cycle cannot be interrupted, and the initiate conversion pin
is disabled until conversion is complete. Two modes of
operation are permitted: clocked orfree-running. For clocked
operation, the initiate conversion input is held at logic "0" for
standby and taken to logic" 1" when a conversion is desired.
For free-running operation, the initiate conversion pin is
connected to VDD or similar permanent logic "1" Voltage.

Busy Output
A digital status output which is compatible with CMOS
logic and low-power TTL (can sink and source 500 ilA). A
logic "1" output on the busy pin indicates a conversion
cycle is in process. A logic "1" to logic "0" transition indicates conversion is complete and the result has been
latched at the digit out pins. A logic "0" to logic "1" transition
indicates a new conversion cycle has been initiated. If the

device is operating in the free-running mode, the busy
output will remain low for approximately 2.5 J.lS, marking
the completion and initiation of consecutive conversion
cycles.

RIN. RREF

Values of these components are chosen to give a fullscale input current of approximately 10 IlA and a reference
current of approximately -20 1lA:

Data Valid Output
A digital status which is compatible with CMOS logic and
low-power TTL (can sink and source 50 1lA). A logic "1"
output at the data valid pin indicates the digits out pins are
latched with the result of the last conversion cycle. The data
valid output goes to logic "0" approximately 5 /!s before the
completion of a conversion cycle. During this 5 J.lS interval
new data is being transferred to the digits out pins, and the
digits out are not valid.

Digits Out
The binary digit outputs (Bit 0 ... Bit 11) which are the
result of the AID conversion. These outputs are CMOS logic
and low-power TTL compatible.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Input/Output Relationships

Digital counts = VIN' A • RREF
RIN ,VREF
A = 2064 for TC8704; 8208 for TC8702fTC8705
where digital counts is the value of the binary output word
presented at digits out pins in response to VIN.
The digital output code format is as follows:
Digital Outputs

MSB

VIN ,,; Full Scale
=Full Scale -1 LSB

VREF .
-20 IlA

Examples:
10V
RIN= ~~ =1 Mn
10 IlA

RREF = --6.4V = 320 kn
-201lA

Note that these values are approximations, and the
exact relationships are defined by the transfer equation. In
practice, the value of RIN typically would be trimmed using
the optional gain adjust circuit to obtain full-scale output at
VIN full scale (see adjustment procedure). Metal film resistors with 1% tolerance or better are recommended for highaccuracy applications because of their thermal stability and
low-noise generation.

Specifications for the TC87XX are based on RBIAS =
100 kn ±1 0%, unless otherwise noted. However, there are
instances when the designer may want to change this
resistor in order to affect the conversion time and the supply
current. By decreasing RBIAS, the AID will convert much
faster and the supply current will be higher. For example,
when RBIAS is 20kn, the conversion time is reduced by 1/3,
and the supply current will increase from 2 rnA to 7 mAo
Likewise, if RBIAS is increased, the conversion time will be
longer and the supply current will be much lower. For
example, when RBIAS = 1 Mn, the conversion time will be six
times longer, and supply current is now reduced to 0.5 mAo
For details of this relationship, refer to AN-9 typicalperformance curves.

applications where their temperature limits are not exceeded. Locate as close as possible to pins 14 and 15.

Obtaining a high-accuracy conversion system depends
on the voltage regulation of VREF and thermal stability of RIN
and RREF. The exact dependence is given by the transfer
function. System accuracy also depends, to a lesser degree,
on the voltage regulation of Voo and Vss. Supply connections Voo andVss should have bypass capacitors of 0.1/!F
value, or larger, at the device pins.

recommended transition points be used in setting the zero
and full-scale values. The recommended procedure is:

VREF

A negative reference voltage must be supplied. This
may be obtained from a constant current source circuit or
from the negative supply.

(1) Set initiate conversion control high to provide freerun operation and verify converter is operating.

Voo, Vss
Power supplies of ±5V are recommended, with 0.05%
line and load regulation, and 0.1 ~F decoupling capacitors.

(2) Set VIN to +1/2 LSB and trim the zero-adjust circuit
to obtain a 000 ... 000 ... to 000 ... 001 transition.
This will correctly locate the zero end.

Adjustment Procedure

(3) For full-scale adjustment, set VIN to the full-scale
value less 1-1/2 LSB and trim the gain-adjust circuit
for a 111 ... 11 0 to 111 ... 111 transition.

The test circuit diagram shows optional circuits for
trimming the zero location and full-scale gain. Because the
digital outputs remain constant outside of the normal
operating range (i.e., below zero and above full scale), it is

If adjustments are performed in this order, there should
be no interaction and they should not have to be repeated.

F) converters produce output pulse trains whose repetition
rate is a precision linear function of the input voltage. These
low-drift, ultra-linear devices can handle pos~ive, negative
and differential input signals, and can operate with a wide
range of power supply voltages.
W~h 126 dB of dynamic range, 70 dB CMRR, and 100%
overrange, these devices provide linear operation with input
voltagesfrom±1 0JlVto+20V. Theircurrent input pin (actually
the summing point of an op amp) can resolve currents as low
as 1000 pA, making it possible to operate with full-scale input
voltages from less than 250 mV to greater than 100V.
Their 0.002% nonlinearity is the equivalent of 16-bit endpoint linearity. Differential nonlinear~y and dynamic range
approach 20 bits.
The 4731 and 4733 are packaged in 24-pin hermetic
metal packages. Standard devices are specified for O°C to
+70°C operation. The High Reliabil~y (HR) versions are
specified for -55°C to + 125°C operation.

THEORY OF OPERATION

Basic Connections

To take maximum advantage of the 4731/4733's versatility, a functional block diagram and theory of operation are
provided herein. With this information, input and output
circuitry is easily modified to handle virtually any input signal
or output load.
The 4731 and 4733 are free-running (astable), voltagecontrolled multivibrators (see Block Diagram). The effective
currents from the four inputs (+VIN, +VIN TRIM, +IINand Eos)
are summed at the inverting input of op-amp A 1. A 1 and
transistor 01 form a precision current pump, producing
current (I). Current charges capacitor C at a rate which is a
precise linear function of the device's input signal.
When the voltage impressed on C (due to I) reaches a
fixed precision threshold, the Schmitt trigger output changes
state and triggers the one-shot (monostable) multivibrator,
which in turn produces a single constant-width output pulse.
This pulse performs two functions. Amplified by 02, it is the
output of the V-to-F converter and also activates the precision charge dispenser (PCD). The PCD discharges C to the
same "zero" level every time an output pulse is produced.
Thus, capacitor C is repeatedly charged and discharged
between two precise voltages at a rate which is a linear
function of the device's voltage and/or current input signal.
This action produces the waveforms shown in the timing
diagram of Figure 11.

The 4731 and 4733 are factory trimmed and operate as
specified without additional components. Figures 1 and 2
illustrate the basic connections for positive or negative input
signals and also show the optional offset adjustment connection. Pin 9 (+VIN TRIM) and pin 12 (+VIN) are inputs for
positive voltage signals. +VIN is used when accuracy to
±0.1 % full scale is acceptable or when external components
cannot be accommodated. +VIN TRIM is used when greater
full-scale accuracy is required because it allows the use of
an external trim adjustment potentiometer. Pin 10 (lIN) is a
direct input to the input amplifier summing junction, and is
used to input positive-current signals. Its full-scale accuracy
is limited to ±2S% of the inherent input current full-scale
factor mentioned earlier. Pin 11 (-VIN) can be used to input
negative voltage signals, as shown in Figure 2.

Zero and Full-Scale Trim
When greater accuracy is required, input offset voltage
(Eos) is trimmed to zero. For positive inputs only, full-scale
output frequency (fOUT) is trimmed to 10 kHz or 100 kHz,
depending on the device being used, with external potentiometers (illustrated in Figures 1 and 2). Note that full-scale
trim components should have temperature coefficients similar to the full-scale TC of the device being used.

TRIM THEORY
The V-to-F input circuit zero and full-scale trim are
performed at the input circuit amp A 1 (see block diagram).
The user may treat the V-to-F input as an operational
amplifier, within certain limits.
No signal combination should be applied to the V-to-F
inputs which will drive the A 1 output positive. A frequency
output will not result if total current into the V-to-F positive
inputs (A 1 , summing point) becomes negative with respect
to the V-to-F negative input. If this occurs, D1 becomes
forward-biased, 01 will cut off, and current (I) and fOUT will
be zero.
The inherent input current full-scale factor is 100 ~
±2S% for a full-scale output. All current adjustment trimming
must take this ±2S% tolerance into account. Resistor R1
(see block diagram) is factory laser trimmed so that a fullscale input to +VIN TRIM (pin 9) produces an output 101 %
±O.S%of nominal full scale; i.e., a +10V input to +VIN TRIM
of the 4731 produces a 10.1 kHz ±o.OS kHz output. Resistor
R2 is factory trimmed so that +V IN is within ±O.S% of nominal
full scale; i.e., a +10V input to +VIN of the 4731 produces a
10kHz ±o.OS kHz output. Both +VIN and +VIN TRIM inputs
are trimmed with and specified for Vee = ±1SV at 2SoC.

Zero and Full-Scale Trim for Positive Input Currents

TRIM PROCEDURES
1. Apply 10 mV between +VINand ground. Adjustthe50 kn
potentiometer to setfoUT equal to 10Hz (4731) or 100 Hz
(4733).

-8V> VIN > +10V
This series of V-to-F converters can be operated with
input voltages greater than +10V by connecting a fixed
resistor and trim potentiometer in series with the +VIN or
+VIN TRIM inputs (see Figure 4). The same effect can be
realized by using a properly selected series resistor and
inputting the signal to the current input (+IIN). For inputs more
negative than -aV, the attenuator network of Figure 5
performs well. For either positive or negative inputs the
zero trim and other adjustments remain the same as in
Figures 1 and 2.

2. Apply +10V between +VIN and ground. Adjust R1 to set
fOUT equal to 10 kHz (4731) or 100 kHz (4733).
3. Repeat (1) and (2) until zero and full scale are set
precisely. Note: Zero is set at 10Hz to 100 Hz out for
10 mV in, because it is impractical to measure 0 Hz out
for OV in.
Full-scale accuracy for +hN is ±25%. Greater accuracy
is obtained by using the full-scale and zero trim circuit shown
in Figure 3. Resistor dividers RA and RB are only used when
the actual input current is greater than that necessary to
produce a nominal full-scale output frequency.

-10V < Full-Scale VIN < +10V
If full-scale input voltage is between +10 !lV and +1 V,
the full-scale output is set to nominal full scale by using the
current-input terminal with a series resistor, as shown in
Figure 6.
If full-scale input signal is between-10Vand -10 !lV, a
low-drift amplifier (such as the 1435) should be used to
amplify the Signal full scale to-10V, or even + 1OV, and then
apply the signal as usual (Le., Figures 1 and 2). This
preamplification technique can also be used with positive
input signals.

FULL-SCALE FACTOR CHANGE
The specified input voltage full-scale factor for the 4731
and 4733 is 9.9V ±0.5% with respect to -VIN (or +100 J.IA
±25% liN) to produce a full-scale output frequency. Many
applications require a full-scale output for other (larger or
smaller) full-scale input signals or input polarities. Figures 4,
5 and 6 illustrate how to operate with such input signals.

Figure 4_ Custom Full-Scale Factor

Operation With HNIL or CMOS Logic

Operation With DC Common Mode

To obtain maximum noise immunity with a particular
logic type, the threshold should be set approximately halfway between the upper and lower logic levels. For example,
a 2 kn, 5% resistor connected between REF IN and + 15V
provides a threshold of +6V (a typical CMOS or HNIL
threshold level). Adjusting the threshold voltage in this
manner has no impact on the zero and full-scale trim
techniques discussed earlier.

When the input signal is small and impressed on a DC
voltage (i.e .• +9V DC ±500 mV AC). it should be capacitively
coupled to the 4736. as shown in Figure 5. If the DC voltage
is large. greater than ±Vee. the input should be protected
against transients with diodes. as shown in Figure 6.
Signals greater than ±Vcc peak-to-peak may also be
attenuated with a simple resistive divider and the appropriate threshold level. as discussed earlier.

Operation With Signals Less Than +2V Peak

Scale Expansion and Bipolar Output

Connecting an 11 kn, 5% resistor between REF IN and
-15V will set the threshold at OV with hysteresis of approximately 340 mV. Nowthe input signal only needs to be larger
than 340 mV. However, input signals less than 500 mV
should be used with care. They may produce erroneous
output voltage due to the uncertainty of the hysteresis level.
For input signals less than 500 mV, hysteresis should be
reduced by connecting a 2000 resistor between REF IN and
COMMON. This will lower the hysteresis and noise immunityto approximately 60 mV (see Figure 5). A 1000 resistor
provides 30 mV'Of hysteresis, which is the minimum recommended value. When operating in this mode the 4736 is
virtually a zero-crossing detector.

If an output voltage of -5V to +5V is required for 500 kHz
to 1 MHz input, the same technique described in "Scale
Expansion and Output Offset" is used. The scale is dOUbled
and the output is offset a total of -15V (from + 1OV to -5V) by
additional current into the SUMMING POINT (pin 9);

Output Ripple Filtering and Response Time
By definition. frequency-to-voltage conversion is
converting an AC signal to a DC level. Therefore. there must
be ripple on the output. This ripple is filtered by a frequency
variable filter and by an internal RC network consisting of RF
and a capacitor (C2) (see block diagram). Additionalfiltering

3-16

HIGH-RELIABILITY HYBRID
FREQUENCY-TO-VOLTAGE CONVERTER

4736
is obtained by adding an external capacitance between the
summing point and output.
The response time of the F-to-V converter (how fast the
output voltage changes for a step change in the input
frequency) is the RC time constant of the ripple filter. If

external capacitance is added, response time is increased.
If faster response with reduced ripple voltage is required, a
higher frequency-to-voltage should be used or a multipole
(i.e., sharp cutoff) low-passfiltershouldfollowthefrequencyto-voltage.

HIGH FREQUENCY, HYBRID
VOLTAGE TO FREQUENCY CONVERTER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 4743 hybrid voltage to frequency converter offers a
full scale output of 1 OMHz, and can be externally trimmed to
any value from its rated full scale output down to 2.5 MHz.
The 4743 has full differential input and can be driven with
positive voltage, negative voltage, or positive current. Common mode rejection ratio, with VCM 10 volts, is 80 dB. With
external resistors, the input is easily adapted to accept
almost any input signal range. The output stage of the unit
is a single uncommitted transistor that operates as a saturated switch. A pull-up resistor for TTL compatibility is
internal to the 4743. An external resistor can be added to
make the output CMOS compatible, and the output can drive
10 TTL loads.
The 4743 has quick response time, and settles to within
±0.01 %FSofa newfrequency in 15 JlSec. Overload recovery
time is approximately 10 output signal periods. Dynamic
range is greater than 100 dB, and input/output linearity over
a ±1 0 mV to ±1 0.5V input range is ±0.05%FS plus ±0.05%
of signal. Initial zero offset erroris±8mV (8kHz). ZeroOftset
error is externally adjustable to zero. Initial full scale accuracy is ±50 kHz, and full scale error is also externally
adjustable to zero. If full scale adjust is not employed, Pins
7 and 9 must be tied together.
The standard 4743 is specified for O°C to +70°C operation. The -HR version is specified for -55°C to +125°C
operation.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS

The TC9400fTC9401fTC9402 are low-cost voltage-tofrequency (V/F) converters combining bipolar and CMOS
technology on the same substrate. The converters accept a
variable analog input signal and generate an output pulse
train whose frequency is linearly proportional to the input
voltage.
The devices can also be used as highly-accuratefrequency-to-voltage (FN) converters, accepting virtually any
input frequency waveform and providing a linearly-proportional voltage output.
A complete v/F or FN system requires the addition of
two capacitors, three resistors, and reference voltage.

10 Hz to 10 kHz VIF Converter

VOLTAGE·TO·FREQUENCY (v/F)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

At the end of the charging period, CREF is shorted out,
dissipating the stored reference charge, so when the output again crosses zero, the system is ready to recycle. In
this manner, the continued discharging of the integrating
capacitor by the input is balanced out by fixed charges from
the reference voltage. As the input voltage is increased,
the number of reference pulses required to maintain balance increases, causing the output frequency to also
increase. Since each charge increment is fixed, the increase
in frequency with voltage is near. In addition, the accuracy
of the output pulses does not directly affect the linearity of
the V/F. It must simply be long enough for full charge
transfer to take place.

The TC9400 VlF converter operates on the principal of
charge balancing. The input voltage (VIN) is converted to a
current (liN) by the input resistor. This current is then converted to a charge by the integrating capacitor and shows
up as lineariy decreasing voltage at the output of the op
amp. The zero crossing of the output is sensed by the
comparator causing the reference voltage to be applied to
the reference capacitor for a time period long enough to
virtually charge the capacitor to the reference voltage. This
action reduces the charge on the integrating capacitor by a
fixed amount (q = CREF x VREF), causing the op-amp output
to step up a finite amount.

Output Waveforms

Freq/2 Out

The TC9400 contains a "self-start" circuit to ensure the
V/F converter always operates properly when power is first
applied. In the event during "power-on" the op-amp output is
below comparator threshold, and CREF is already charged,
a positive voltage step will not occur. The op-amp output will
continue to decrease until it crosses the -2.SV threshold of
the "self-start" comparator. When this happens, a resistor is
connected to the op-amp input, causing the outputto quickly
go positive until the TC9400 is once again in its normal
operating mode.
The TC9400 utilizes both bipolar and MaS transistors
on the same substrate, taking advantage ofthe bestfeatures
of each. MaS transistors are used at the inputs to reduce
offset and bias currents. Bipolar transistors are used in the
op amp for high gain, and on all outputs for excellent current
driving capabilities, CMOS logic is used throughout to minimize power consumption.

This output is an open-collector bipolar transistor providing a square wave one-half the frequency of the pulse
frequency output. This output requires a pull-up resistor and
interfaces directly with MaS, CMOS, and TIL logic.

Output Common
The emitters of both the freq/2 out and the pulse freq out
are connected to this pin. An output level swing from the
collector voltage to ground or to the Vss supply may be
obtained by connecting to the appropriate point.
RBIAS
Specifications for the TC9400 are based on RSIAS =
100 kn ±1 0%, unless otherwise noted. RSIAS may be varied
between the range of 82 kn :,; RSIAS :,; 120 kn.

The output stage of the operational amplifier. A negative-going ramp signal is available atthis pin in the VIF mode.
In the FN mode, a voltage proportional to the frequency
input is generated.

In the V/F mode, this input is connected to the amplifier
output (pin 12) and triggers the 3 Jls pulse delay when the
input voltage passes its threshold. In the FN mode, the input
frequency is applied to the comparator input.

Zero Adjust
Pulse Freq Out

The non inverting input of the operational amplifier. The
low-frequency set point is determined by adjusting the

The inverting input of the operational amplifier and the

CREF
The exact value is not critical and may be used to trim the

their stability and low leakage. Locate as close as possible
to pins 5 and 3.

VREF
A reference voltage from either a precision source orthe

dependent on the voltage regulation and temperature characteristics of the circuitry.

The charging current for CREF is derived from the
internal circuitry and switched by the break-before-make
switch to this pin.

Power supplies of ±5V are recommended. For highaccuracy requirements, 0.05% line and load regulation and
0.1 ~F disc decoupling capacitors located near the pins are
recommended.

FREQUENCY-TO-VOLTAGE (FN)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

tR = tF = 20 ns.
RL 2:2 k!l.
Full temperature range, VIN = -{l.1 V.
VIN = -{l.IV.
l,N connects the summing junction of an operational
amplifier. Voltage sources cannot be attached directly,
but must be buffered byextemal resistors.

CINT can be increased to lowerlhe ripple. Values of 1 J!F
to 100 J!F are perfectly acceptable for low frequencies.
When the TC9400 is used in the single-supply mode,
VREF is defined as the voltage difference between pin 7 and
pin 2.

When used as an FIV converter, the TC9400 generates
an output voltage linearly proportional to the input frequency
waveform.
Each zero crossing at the comparator's input causes a
precise amount of charge (q = CREF x VREF) to be dispensed
into the op amp's summing junction. This charge in turn flows
through the feedback resistor, generating voltage pulses at
the output of the op amp. A capacitor (CINT) across RINT
averages these pulses into a DC voltage which is linearly
proportional to the input frequency.

Input Voltage Levels
The input signal must cross through zero in order to trip
the comparator. To overcome the hysteresis, the amplitude
must be greater than ±200 mY.
If only a unipolar input signal (fiN) is available, it is
recommended an offset circuit utilizing a resistor be used or
the signal be coupled in via a capacitor.
For 1 00 kHz maximum input, RINT should be decreased
to 100 kn.

FN CONVERTER DESIGN INFORMATION
Input/Output Relationships
The output voltage is related to the input frequency (fiN)
by the transfer equation:
VOUT = [VREF CREF RINT) fiN.
The response time to a change in fiN is equal to (RINT
CINT). The amount of ripple on VOUT is inversely proportional
to CINT and the input frequency.

NOTE: CREF should be increased for low fiN max. Adjust CREF so VouTis
approximately 2.SV to 3V for maximum input frequency. When fiN max is
less than 1 kHz, the duty cycle should be greater than 20% to ensure CREF
is fully charged and discharged.

NOTES: 1. The input is now referenced to 6.2V (pin 6). The input signal must therefore be restricted to be greater than 4V (pin 6, 2V)
and less than 10V to 15V (Voo).
If the signal is AC coupled, a l00kn to 10 Mn resistor must be placed between the inpul(pin 11) and ground (pin 6).
2. The output will now be referenced to pin 6 which is at 6.2V (Vi). For frequency meter applications, a 1 rnA meter with a
series-scaling resistor can be placed across pins 6 and 12.

Figure 9

FN Single Supply

The sawtooth ripple on the output of an FN can be
eliminated without affecting the F/v's response time by
using the circuit in Figure 10. The circuit has a DC gain of +1.
Any AC components (such as a ripple) are amplified positively via the lower path and negatively via the upper path.
When both paths have the same gain, AC ripple is cancelled.
The amount of cancellation is directly proportional to gain
matching. Ifthe two paths are matched within 10%, the ripple
will be lowered by 1/10. For 1% matching, the ripple is
lowered by 1/100. The 10 k.n potentiometer is used to make
the gain equal in both paths. This circuit is insensitive to
frequency changes and signal waveshape.

FN POWER-ON RESET
In FIV mode, the TC9400 output voltage will occasionally be at its maximum value when power is first applied. This
condition remains until the first pulse is applied to fiN. In most
frequency-measurement applications this is not a problem,
because proper operation begins as soon as the frequency
input is applied.

In some cases, however, the TC9400 output must be
zero at power-on without a frequency input. In such cases,
a capacitor connected from pin 11 to VDD will usually be
sufficient to pulse the TC9400 and provide a power-on reset

(see Figure 11A). Where predictable power-on operation is
critical, a more complicated circuit, such as Figure 11 B, may
be required.

•
•
•

The TC620 and TC621 are solid-state temperature
switches designed to replace mechanical switches in temperature sensing and control applications. Ambient temperature is sensed and compared to programmable temperature minimums and maximums.
Both devices provide a LOW LIMIT and HIGH LIMIT
logical output as well as a CONTROL output. On the TC620,
the LOW LIMIT is low when the measured temperature is
below the low temperature set-point and the HIGH LIMIT is
low when the measured temperature is below the high
temperature set-point. The TC621 provides the same output
functions except that the logical states are inverted. These
outputs allow for easy 'over' and 'under' temperature detection.
The CONTROL output provides a programmable hysteresis in that it goes high when the measured temperature
goes above the HIGH LIMIT set-point and returns to low
when the measured temperature goes below the LOW
LIMIT set-point. The CONTROL output of either device is
easily applied to a temperature control system.

TEMPERATURE SENSOR
TC620
TC621
If power is applied to the device while the sensed
temperature is between the LOW SET temperature and the
HIGH SETtemperature, the LOW LIMIT output will go 'high'
('low' forthe TC621) and the CONTROL output will go 'high'.
The resistance value forthe TC620 can be determined
by inserting the desired trip temperature (T) into the following formulas:

Our proprietary technology provides excellent absolute
temperature accuracy (±3°C). The low current requirement
of these devices make them especially appealing in battery
powered applications. The TC620 and TC621 have no
moving parts so they are rugged and work well in equipment
that needs to take a lot of abuse. Automotive, marine and
industrial users will benefit from the ruggedness of these
devices.
The LOW LIMIT and HIGH LIMIT temperatures are set
by connecting the appropriate resistors to the LOW SET and
HIGH SET inputs. The value of these SET resistors are a
function of the temperature sensing element.

For Temperatures
below 70°C
Rtrip = 0.783 x T + 91
above 70°C
Rtrip = T + 77
Where Rtrip = Programming resistor value in k ohms
T = Desired trip temperature in degrees C
For example, to program the device to trip at 50°C,
the programming resistor would be:
Rtrip = 0.783 x 50 + 91 = 130.2 kil.
The TC621 can source or sink 10 mA per output. The
outputs of the TC620 can source or sink 1mA. If higher
currents are utilized in the TC620, the device will generate
internal heat, possibly causing erroneous temperature sensing.

Internal Temperature Sensor (TC620)
The TC620 incorporates an on-board positive-temperature-coefficient (PTC) thermal sensor which reacts to the
internal temperature of the die. The LOW SET resistor
(pin 2) should always be lower than the HIGH SET resistor
(pin 3) to insure proper operation.

External Temperature Sensor (TC621)
The TC621 performs the same function as the TC620
but employs a user supplied temperature sensing device.
The most common type of temperature sensor is a negativetemperature-coefficient (NTC) thermistor. An NTC sensor
requires that the input and output functions be reversed from
that of the TC620. This means that the HIGH SET resistor
(pin 2) should always be lower than the LOW SET resistor
(pin 3) to insure proper operation. See the applications
section of this data sheet for recommendations on selecting
the thermistor.

DESIGN PARAMETERS
4369 ILL F02

The designer must be sure that the LOW SET programming resistor is smaller than the HIGH SET programming
resistor for the TC620 or that the LOW SET resistor is larger
than the HIGH SET resistor when using the TC621 with an
NTC external thermistor. No damage will be done tothe part
if this is not correct but the CONTROL output logic will be
effected.
The LOW LIMIT and HIGH LIMIT outputs will go to a
'high' state ('low' state for TC621) whenever the temperature of the device (or external thermistor) exceeds the
temperature programmed for the respective inputs.
The CONTROL output latch will go to a 'high' whenever
the sensed temperature exceeds the HIGH SET temperature and will go to a 'low' if the sensed temperature drops
below the LOW SET temperature. A bonding option may be
used to invert the CONTROL output logic for heating applications. The part number for this option has an 'H' instead of
a 'C' placed after the '620' or '621' digits.

and at the required speed to maintain the desired temperature. A higher power option can be designed by adding a
resistor and a power MOSFET.

The Dual Speed Temperature Control adds features to
the basic controller by using the TC4469 quad driver. Two of
the drivers are configured in a simple oscillator. When the
temperature is below the LOW TEMP set point. the output of
the driver is off. When the temperature exceeds the LOW
TEMP set point. the TC4469 gates the oscillator signal to the
outputs ofthe driver. This square wave signal modulates the
remaining outputs and drives the motor at a low speed. Ifthis

Temperature Controlled Fan
In the Temperature Controlled Fan schematic. a high
and a low temperature is selected by two 'set' resistors. The
TC620 then monitors the ambient temperature and will turn
on the FET switch when the temperature exceeds the HIGH
TEMP set point. The fan remains on until the temperature
decreases to the LOW TEMP set point. This provides the

hysteresis. In this application. the fan will not turn on unless
needed. This makes for a high-power fan control with only
four parts.
The TC621 uses an external themistor to monitor the

USING THE TC621
The TC621 uses an external thermistor to monitor the
controlling temperature. A thermistor with a resistance value
of approximately 1OOkU at 25°C is recommended.
Typical thermistors exhibit a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) which must be considered when selecting the
set-point resistors. A temperature set-point is selected by
picking a resistor whose value is equal to the resistance of
the thermistor at the desired temperature.
A 30kU resistor between HIGH TEMP (pin 2)and VDD
(pin 8) will set the high temperature trip point at +50°C and
a 49kU resistor on LOW TEMP (pin 3) will set the low
temperature trip point to +40°C.

Typical Thermistor Resistance vs Temperature

The Solid State Thermostat diagram shows how the
TC620 can be used to control home, industrial and commercial heating and cooling applications in a low cost, simple
approach. The TC620 monitors the temperature and when
heating is required, turns on the FET swich. This applies
power to the gas valve and turns off the "standby" indicator.

The Nicad battery provides power to the circuit when the
FET is energized. 05 and R2 provide current limited power
to the circuit when the FET is off. This also keeps the Nicad
battery recharged. R3 and R4 set the desired hysteresis to
prevent rapid cycling of the heating or cooling equipment.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

The TC626 is a solid-state temperature sensor designed to replace mechanical switches in temperaturesensing applications. The ambient temperature is sensed
and compared to an internal programmed temperature. The
preset internal temperatures can be ordered in 5°C increments, from O°C to +125°C.
Our proprietary technology provides high, absolutetemperature accuracy (±3°C). Since there are no moving parts,
the TC626 is rugged and works well in harsh environments
that could damage and reduce the life of mechanical temperature sensors. Automotive and industrial users will benefit
from its immunity to vibration.

DESIGN PARAMETERS
The output will remain low until the internally programmedtemperature is reached. Thedevicethen switches
its output high. This output signal can source and sink up to
10 rnA (TO-92 package) and 50 rnA (TO-220 package).
The heat-sinking ability of the surface to which the
device is attached can permit higher power applications
since the internal heating of the device will be negligible
compared to the ambient temperature.
The hysteresis of the TC626 is 5 degrees at 20°C. At
higher temperatures, it increases.

Time Control

(All pin numbers refer to the 14-pin dip package)

The TC675 and TC676 both use an on-board timercounter which limits the maximum duration of the fastcharge cycle to 1.5 hours (1.8 hrs @ 50 HzAC power). There
is also a time delay of 60 seconds (77 sec @ 50 Hz AC
power) before starting a fast-charge cycle. This delay gives
the battery temperature sensor time to stabilize.
The counters are clocked by the full-wave rectified AC
input. This clock rate is divided by 655,360 to time out the
1.517 hour (1.82 hrs @ 50 Hz AC power) maximum for the
fast-charge cycle. A faster or slower clock may be used to
modify the timing.

Temperature Control
Safety is critical in charging NiCadlNi-Hydride batteries
because a fast-charge applied under the wrong conditions
may cause severe damage to the battery and it's surroundings. The battery temperature is monitored by an
external thermistor and the controller will not allow the
battery to start a fast-charge cycle while the battery temperature is too hot or too cold. A NiCad/Ni-Hydride battery
tends to warm up during a fast-charge cycle so a temperature
that was too highto allow the charging to start may not be too
high to allow the charging to continue. Another temperature
threshold causes the charger to stop the fast-charge cycle
as soon as the battery temperature gets too high.
A charger may also be required to work in cold ambient
temperatures. The preprogrammed absolute maximum
charging temperature may be too high for these conditions
so a separate 'delta' temperature may be used. This will stop
the fast-charge cycle ifthe battery temperature exceeds the
ambient temperature by a predetermined amount. This
option requires a second thermistor to monitor the ambient
temperature.

Full-Charge or Half-Charge Option
Both the TC675 and TC676 have a half-charge selection option. The CHARGE RATE input has an internal pullup to select the full-charge mode (7/8 duty cycle). A low on
this pin will select the half-charge mode (7116 duty cycle).
This input may be selected or toggled anytime during a fastcharge cycle without effecting the time-out sequence.

Trickle-Charge
The trickle-charge mode of the TC675 and the TC676
runs at =7% ofthe fast-charge mode (1/16 duty cycle for fullcharge and 1/32 duty cycle for half-charge) and is the default
mode whenever the fast-charge cycle is not running.

normal-charge mode as default. A low on this pin will select
1/2 the current charge rate, i. e. if the charger is in full-charge
then a low on pin 13 will select 1/2 full-charge, if the charger
is in trickle-charge then 1/2 trickle-charge is selected .

The only difference between the TC675 and the TC676
is the operation of the input on pin 12.
On the TC675 (pin 12 = 'TRICKLE'), a high (Voo) on this
pin will hold the charger in the trickle-charge mode. The
internal timer will continue to count down. If the timer hasn't
timed out, the charger will go back to the full-charge mode
if this pin is returned to low (OV).
On the TC676 (pin 12 = 'RESET), low transition (Voo to
OV) on this pin will reset the timer and initialize a fast-charge
cycle.

LED OUTPUT (PIN 2)
This pin has a pull-down resistor to ground. With power
applied and no battery installed, and during the 1 minute
start delay, the transistor is on steady. The output will toggle
at a 3 Hz rate during a fast-charge cycle. The output will stay
on steady during the trickle-charge mode.

BATTERY SENSE (PIN 4)

CONTROL TEMPERATURE

This input is internally pulled up to about 1 volt. It is
designed to be capacitively coupled to the cathode of the
SCR (the positive terminal of the battery). Without a battery
present, the pulses from the full-wave rectified AC signal are
coupled by a bypass resistor around the SCR into the battery
input through the capacitor. This produces a zero-crossing
waveform at the battery pin which is interpreted as a 'no
battery' condition. The presence of a battery will prevent
these zero-crossings and the TC675rrC676 can begin a
charge sequence.
Some battery packs contain a diode in series with the
cells for safety purposes. This diode may prevent the battery
from clamping the waveform to prevent zero-crossings. The
auxiliary detect circuitry should be added to cause the diode,
if present, to forward bias, which will then clamp the waveform to prevent zero-crossings and will indicate the presence of the battery.

Each control temperature has a unique voltage threshold which is derived as a ratio of an internal, zener generated
reference voltage (VREG).
TMAX (fNMAX =2/3 VREG)
the charger will stop the fast-charge mode if the
battery temperature reaches this value.
THIGH (IIVHIGH = 1/2 VREG)
the charger will not start the fast-charge mode if the
battery temperature is above this value.
TLOW (fNLOW = 1/3 VREG)
the charger will not start the fast-charge mode if the
battery temperature is below this value.
TOELTA (OVOELTA = 1/6 VREG)
the charger will stop the fast-charge mode if the
battery temperature exceeds the ambient temperature by this value.

CLOCK IN (PIN 6)

THERMISTOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

This input accepts the rectified AC signal and uses the
pulses to establish timing. The waveform must reach zero
volts during the pulse off time for accurate timing. Noise on
this line could cause false clock triggering which can be
prevented by placing a 0.01 IlF capacitor from pin 6 to
ground. This input is internally clamped to the Voo (Voo)
potential (z6V). A current limiting resistor must be used to
connect the rectified AC signal.

A common type of thermistor for this application is a
negative-temperature-coefficient (NTC) with a relatively high
resistance ratio. Some examplesofthis type are KC009-NO,
KC020-NO or RL1006-53 from Keystone.

Thermistor Characteristics
Thetransferfunction (Resistance vs. Temperature) of a
normal NTC thermistor takes the form:
In RT =Ao + A1rr + A2//2 = ... + AwrN (T in °Kelvin)
The first three terms ofthis equation are sufficientlo give
a fit of better than ±0.01 °C. The coefficients may be determined by setting up 3 simultaneous equations based on 3
known points.
The following calculations are based on a typical NTC
thermistor (Keystone RL1006-53.4K-140-01) with resistance values of 48.15 kOat40°C (313.15°K), 100 kOat25°C
(298.15 K) and 221.8 kO at 10°C (282.15°K).

SCR DRIVE (PIN 3)
A 1.5 kHz pulse is the output on this pin which turns on
the SCR during each cycle of the rectified AC waveform.
This signal should be capacitively coupled to the gate of the
SCR. A 0.01 IlF capacitor will effectively turn on the SCR
and block any DC component.

TEMPERATURE ("C)

SETTING UP THE
CONTROL TEMPERATURES
Assume an application which requires that the battery
charger not start while the battery temperature is below
20°C (TLOW) or above 30°C (THIGH). Also assume that the
battery should stop charging if it's temperature gets up to
either 40°C (TMAX) or 20°C {TDELTN above an ambient
temperature of 15°C (TAMB).
The control temperatures are programmed as a function
of the resistance value of the battery temperature thermistor
(RBATT) when it is at the temperature to be programmed (T)
and the threshold voltage ratio (3Vx).
The form of the equation to determine the values of
RLOW, RHIGH and RMAX is as follows:

A second thermistor can be used to modify the battery
temperature shutdown point as a function of the ambient
temperature. A 'delta' temperature may be set up to limit the
battery temperature to some value above ambient. This
value is called T DELTA and the ambient temperature that it
works against is called T AMB.
This control is very important for applications which are
required to work over a wide range of ambient temperatures.
Once a T DELTA value has been set up to work at some TAMB
then the T DELTA will change inversely proportional to TAMB.
This means that as the ambient temperature goes up, the
trip point goes upat an ever decreasing rate because T DELTA
goes down.
The form of the equation to determine the values of
RDELTA is different than the ones for the other temperature
control resistors because two thermistors are used. If the
same thermistor type is used for monitoring the ambient
temperature as is used to monitor the battery temperature
then the value of RDELTA, based on the above example, is
calculated thus:
T DELTA = 20°C, TAMB = 15°C,
TBAT = TAMB + TDELTA = 35°C, 3VDELTA = 1/6,
RDELTA = RBAT35 - RBAT35 - RAMB15 =

A SET/RESET latch may be controlled by the SCR

The TC67S and TC676 are designed to control the
charging of NiCadlNi-Hydride batteries from a self-clocking,

the NiCad be charged from a DC power source, i. e. batteryto-battery .
When a DC power source is used, the application must
provide clock pulse to CLOCK IN (pin 6) to control the timing
and a pulse train to BATTERY DETECT (pin 4) whenever a

PIN CONFIGURATION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC170 brings low-power CMOS technology to the
current-mode-switching power supply controller market.
Maximum supply current is 3.B mAo Bipolar current-mode
control integrated circuits require five times more operating
current. Low power supply current eliminates auxiliary power
transformers. In off-line powering schemes, where a simple
zener diode circuit provides device supply voltage, power
dissipation is greatly reduced. CMOS technology decreases
system cost, increases power efficiency, reduces heat generation, and increases total system reliability.
The dual totem-pole CMOS outputs drive power
MOSFETs or bipolar transistors. The 50-ns typical output
rise and fall times, a 1000-pF capacitive loads, minimize
MOSFET power dissipation. Output peak current is 300 mAo
The TC170 contains a full array of system-protection
circuits. The undervoltage lockout circuit forces outputs
OFF if the supply voltage drops below 7V. A soft-start
feature is also available. The soft-start option forces the
PWM outputs to initially operate at a minimum duty cycle
and low peak output current. The TC170 can be directly
turned off through a remote-shutdown control pin. The
shutdown mode can be latched (power must be turned off
to restart system) or nonlatched. The soft-start feature can
also be used in system-shutdown applications. Doubleoutput pulse suppression guarantees output drive pulses
always alternate from one output driver to the other. Peak
current is user-adjustable.
Current-mode control lets users parallel power supply
modules. Two or more TC170 controllers can be slaved
together for parallel operation. Circuits can operate from a
master TC170 internal oscillator or an external system
oscillator.
The TC170 operates from an BV to 16V power supply.
An internal 2%, 5.1 V reference minimizes external component count. The TC170 is pin compatible with the Unit rode
UC18461284613846 bipolar controller.
Other advantages inherent in current-mode control include superior line and load regulation and automatic symmetry correction in push-pull converters.

Peak Current Limit Setup

The input pulse to pin 16 should be at least SOO ns wide
and have an amplitude of at least 1V in order to get the
minimum propagation delay from input to output. If these
parameters are met, the delay should be less than 600 ns at
2SoC; however, the delay time will increase as the device
temperature rises.

Resistors R1 and R2atthecurrent limit input (pin 1) set
the TC170 peak current limit (Figure 1). The potential at pin
1 is easily calculated:
V1=VREF

~
R1 + R2

Soft Restart From Shutdown

R1 should be selected first. The shutdown circuit feature is not latched for (VREF - 0.35)/R1 <50 I!A and is
latched for currents greater than 1251!A.
The error amplifier output voltage is clamped from
going above V1 through the limit buffer amplifier. Peak
current is sensed by RS and amplified by the current
amplifier which has a fixed gain of 3.15.
Ipcl, the peak current limit, is the current that causes
the PWM comparator noninverting input to exceed V1; the
potential at the inverting input. Once the comparator trip
point is exceeded, both outputs are disabled.
Ipcl is easily calculated:
Ipcl =

A soft restart can be programmed if nonlatched shutdown operation is used.
A capacitor at pin 1 will cause a gradual increase in
potential toward V1. When the voltage at pin 1 reaches
0.7SV, the PWM latch set input is removed and the circuit
establishes a regulated output voltage. The soft-start operation forces the PWM output drivers to initially operate with
minimum duty cycle and low peak currents.
Even if a soft start is not required, it is necessary to
insert a capacitor between pin 1 and ground if the current Il
is greater than 12SI!A. This capacitor will prevent "noise
triggering" of the latch, yet minimize the soft-start effect.

V1 -0.75V
3.15 (RS)

Soft-Start Power-Up
During power-up, a capacitor at R1, R2 initiates a softstart cycle. As the input voltage (pin 1S) exceeds the
undervoltage lockout potential (7.7V), 04 is turned off,
ending undervoltage lockout. Whenever the PWM comparator inverting input is below O.SV, both outputs are
disabled.
When the undervoltage lockout level is passed, the
capacitor begins to charge. The PWM duty cycle increases
until the operating output voltage is reached. Soft-start
operation forces the PWM output drivers to initially operate
with minimum duty cycle and low peak current.

where:
R2
V1 =VREF - - R1 + R2
VREF = Internal voltage reference = 5.1V
3.1S = Gain of current-sense amplifier
0.7SV = Current limit offset
Both driver outputs (pins 11 and 14) are OFF (low) when
the peak current limit is exceeded. When the sensed current
goes below Ipel, the circuit operates normally.

Current-Sense Amplifier

Output Shutdown

The current-sense amplifier operates at a fixed gain of
3.1S. Maximum differential input voltage (VPIN4-VPIN3) is
1.1 V. Common-mode input voltage range is OV to VIN - 3V.
Resistive-sensing methods are shown in Figure 2. In
Figure 2(A), a simple RC filter limits transient voltage spikes
at pin 4, caused by external output transistor-collector
capacitance. Transformer coupling (Figure 3) offers isol.ation and better power efficiency, but cost and compleXity
increase.
In orderto minimize the propagation delay from the input
to the current amplifier to the output terminals, the current
ramp should be in the order of 1 ~ in width (min). Typical
time delay values are in the 300 to 400 ns region at 2SoC.
The delay time increases with device temperature so that at
SO°C, the delay times may be increased by as much as
100 ns.

The TC170 outputs can be turned off quickly through
the shutdown input (pin 16). A signal greater than 350 mV
at pin 16 forces the shutdown comparator output high. The
PWM latch is held set, disabling the outputs.
02 is also turned on. If VREF/R1 is greater than 12SI!A,
positive feedback through the lock-up amplifier and 01
keeps the inverting PWM comparator inverting input below
0.7SV. 03 remains on even after the shutdown input signal
is removed, because of the positive feedback. The stat.e
can be cleared only through a power-up cycle. Outputs Will
be disabled whenever the potential at pin 1 is below O. 7SV.
The shutdown terminal gives a fast, direct way to disable the TC170 output transistors. System protection and
remote shutdown applications are possible.

The undervoltage lockout circuit forces the TC170 outputs OFF (low) if the supply voltage is below 7. 7V. Threshold
hysteresis is 0.75V and guarantees clean, jitter-free turn-on

Circuit Synchronization
Current-mode-controlled power supplies can be operated in parallel with a common load. Paralleled converters
will equally share the load current. Voltage-mode controllers unequally share the load current, decreasing system
reliability.
Two or more TC170 controllers can be slaved together
for parallel operation. Circuits can operate from a master
TC170 internal oscillator with an external driver (Figure 4).
Devices can also be slaved to an external oscillator (Figure 5). Disable internal slave device oscillators by grounding
pin 8. Slave controllers derive an oscillator from the bidirectional synchronization output signal at pin 10.
Pin 10 is bidirectional in that it is intended to be both a
sync output and input. This is accomplished by making the
output driver "weak." This is advantageous in that it eliminates an additional pin from the package but does not
enable the device to directly drive another device. In order
to make it an effective driver, a buffer is required (Figure 4).
In order to use pin 10 as a sync input, it is necessary to
overcome the internal driver. This requires a pulse with an
amplitude equal to Vcc. Since Vcc must be above 8.25V
for the undervoltage lockout to be disabled, a CMOS or
open-collector TTL driver should be used.

The TC1721173 are current-mode BiCMOS PWM controllCs. With a low 1.5 mA supply current along with the high
drive currents (1.2A typical), they provide a low-cost solution
for many PWM needs, since they can be driven without a 5060 Hz transformer and can directly drive MOSFETs up to
Hex 3 size.
The TC1721173 are based on the popular UC3842-type
architecture, but are improved to bring out more control
features to operate at higher frequency (1 MHz) and provide
more output drive power.
The TC1721173 add additional features. They come in
a 16-pin package. The additional pins allow more functions:
a linear timing ramp for the clock (instead of exponential),
user-adjustable undervoltage start and hysteresis level, as
well as separate output drive and control grounds. In addition, the TC1721173 provides a separate shutdown pin for
fast output shutdown, and an open-collector output pin that
pulls low when the user-adjusted undervoHage lockout
drops out.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

REPLACING BIPOLAR VERSIONS WITH CMOS

The TC35C25 and TC35C27 family of PWM controllers
are CMOS implementations of the industry standard 3525
and 3527 voltage mode SMPS ICs.
. These second generation CMOS devices employ
Teledyne Components' Tough BiCMOSTM process for latchup proof operation. They offer much lower power consumption
than any of their previous CMOS or bipolar counterparts.
These controllers have separate supply pins for the
control and output sections of the circuit. This allows
'bootstrap' operation. The CMOS output stage allows the
output voltage to swing to within 25 mV of either rail.
Other improved features include tighter hysteresis and
undervoltage start-up specifications over temperature, and
very low input bias current on all inputs.

Although the pin-out and functions are the same for both
the Bipolarand CMOS versions, there are several differences
that need to be taken into account. The reference voltage on
the TC35C25/27 is 4V instead of 5V and the oscillator ramp
is 3V, not 4V. The RT and CT values are different for any
particular frequency and dead-time requirement.
The most important difference is that the absolute
maximum rating of the VDD and VIN voltages for the
TC35C25/27 is 18V, whereas the UC3525/27 is 40V.

OUTPUT SECTION
The output stage ofthe TC35C25/27 is comprised oftwo
pairs of complimentary CMOS drivers operating in a pushpull mode. Each output is capable of sinking or sourcing
nearly 500 rnA of peak current. They are also capable of
absorbing just as much 'kick-back' current without latching.

SOFT START
A soft restart recovery rate may be selected by placing
a capacitor from SOFT START (pin 8) to ground. The
calculation for the recovery timing is approximately
60 mslJ.1F.
.
SOFT START will mediate the start-up from undervoltage
recovery, power-on or SHUTDOWN.

SHUTDOWN
There is a minimum delay, non-latching shutdown feature
on the TC35C25/27 PWM controller. Both outputs may be
turned off by applying a positive voltage to SHUTDOWN (pin
10). Returning the pin back to ground will reinitialize the soft
start cycle.

OSCILLATOR SECTION
A tri-state feature has been added to accommodate
systems which require multiple controllers to be run in a
'master/slave' configuration. The timing resistor pin (RT, pin 6)
may be tied to VREF to place the sync pin (SYNC, pin 3) in a
high impedance state. This will allow the chip to be clocked
from an external source.
The sync output (OSC OUT, pin 4) of the TC35C25 can
drive several sync inputs configured in this manner.

TC28C4213/4/5
TC38C4213/4/5
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC3SC42131415 are current mode BiCMOS PWM
controllCs. With a low 1.0 rnA supply current along with the
high drive currents (0.7A peak) they provide a low cost
solution for a PWM that operates to 300 kHz and directly
drives MOSFETs up to HEX 3 size.
Performance of the oscillator and current sense amplifier have been greatly improved over previous bipolar versions. Voltage and temperature stability have been improved by a factor of 3. Noise immunity (PSRR) has also
been improved. These improvements make for a more
reliable power system.
Tough CMOSTM design and construction provide input
and output latch protection, outstanding ESD tolerance, and
high reliability manufacturing techniques and materials.
Tough CMOSTM means high reliability.
The TC3SC421314/5 are pin compatible with earlier
bipolar versions so that designers can easily update older
designs. Improvements have been added though. For example, clock ramp reset current is specified at 2.5 rnA
(±10%) for accurate deadtime control. A few component
values must be changed (RT & CT) to use TC3SC42 family
in existing bipolar designs:
The 14-pin DIP and 16-pin SO versions have separate
and internally isolated grounds, and are rated for higher
output current (1.2A). These separate grounds allow for
'bootstrap' operation of the PWM to further improve efficiency.

ramp amplitude to increase with frequency due to comparator delay. Minimum values for CT and RT are 33 pF and 1 kn
respectively. Maximum values are dependent on leakage
currents in the capacitor, not on the input currents to the
RT/CTpin.

Frequency of Operation
The frequency of oscillation for the TC3SC4X family is
controlled by a resistor to VREF (RT) and a capacitor to ground
(CT). VREF supplies current through the resistor and charges
the capacitor until its voltage reaches the threshold of the
upper comparator (",2.5V). A 2.5 rnA current is then applied
to the capacitor to discharge it to near ground (=O.15V). The
discharge current is then shut off and the cycle repeats. An
approximate equation for the frequency of operation is:

to '" _1_

(RT in Ohms and CT in Farads)
RTCT
The value of RT affects the discharge current and the
upper and lower comparators each have delay. As RT gets
smaller and as the frequency of operation gets higher, the
above equation falls apart. Figure 5 illustrates this effect.

Dead Time
The value of RT has a effect on the discharge rate but the
primary consideration is the value of CT. The time required
to discharge the capacitor is approximately 1000 CT.

ORDERING INFORMATION
REFERENCE SECTION
The reference is a zener based design with a buffer
amplifier to drive the output. It is unstable with capacitances
between O.OlIlF and 3.3IlF. In a normal application a 4. 71lF
is used. In some lower noise layouts the capacitor can be
eliminated entirely.
The reference is active as soon as the 3SC4X has
power supplied. This is different than its bipolar counterparts, in that the bipolar reference comes on only after the IC
has come out of its under voltage mode. Thus, on the
3SC4X, the reference pin can not be used as a reset function
such as on a soft start circuit.

Duty Cycle Limitation

The osc;illator frequency is set by the combination of a
resistor from the reference to the RT/CT pin and by a capacitor from this pin to ground. The oscillator is designed to
have ramp amplitude from 0.15 to 2.5 volts. This is approximate, as over shoot on the oscillator comparator causes the

BENCH TEST OPERATIONAL SIMULATION
The timing ramp (RT/CT) is buffered by the emitter follower and fed back to the ISENSE input. This ramp simulates the
dVdT current ramp which would flow through the primary of the transformer. The output voltage of the power supply is
simulated by feeding some'ofthe reference voltage into VFB. The combination of the two input levels determines the operating
characteristics of the current mode controller.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS

The TC38C46I47 are current mode CMOS PWM controllCs. These only draw 2 rnA supply current, so they can
be driven without a costly 50-60 Hz transformer. The output
drive stage is capable of high drive currents, 300 rnA typical.
The TC38C46147 are pin compatible with earlier bipolar
products so that designers can easily update older designs.
A number of improvements have been added.
This second generation part has been designed with an
isolated drive stage. Unlike its cousin, the TC170, the output

DC-TO-DC VOLTAGE CONVERTER
FEATURES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•
•
•
•
•

The TC7660 DC-to-DC voltage converter will generate
a negative voltage from a positive source. With two external
capacitors, the TC7660 will convert a 1.5V to 10V input
signal to a -1.5V to -10V level. The TC7660 easily generates -5V in +5V digital systems.
Many analog-to-digital converters, digital-to-analog
converters, operational amplifiers, and multiplexers require
negative supply Voltages. The TC7660 allows +5V digital
logic systems to incorporate these analog components
without adding an additional main power source. The TC7660
can lower total system cost, ease engineering development,
and save space, power and weight.
The TC7660 charges a capacitor to the applied supply
voltage. Internal analog gates connect the capacitor across
the output. Charge is transferred to an output storage
capacitor, completing the voltage conversion. Operation
requires only two external capacitors for supply voltage
<6.5V.

DC-TO-DC VOLTAGE CONVERTER

TC7660
Contained on-chip are a series DC power supply regulator, RC oscillator, voltage-level translator, four output
power MOS switches, and a unique logic element which
ensures latch-Up free operation.
The oscillator, when unloaded, oscillates at a nominal
frequency of 10kHz for an input supply voltage of 5V. This
frequency can be lowered by the addition of an external
capacitor to the OSC terminal (pin 7), or the oscillator may
be overdriven by an external clock.
The low voltage (LV) terminal (pin 6) may be tied to GND
(pin 3) to bypass the internal series regulator and improve
LV operation. At medium-to-high voltages (+3.5V to +1 OV),
the LV pin is left floating to prevent device latch-up.
The TC7660 open-circuit output voltage is equal to the
input voltage to within 0.1 %. The TC7660 has a 98% power
conversion efficiency for 2 mA to 5 mA load currents.

Figure 3. Idealized Switched Capacitor

•• Ox is required for supply voltages greater than

6.SVat-SS°'; TA ,; +70°C. Refer to performance
curves for additional information.

The four switches in Figure 3 are M08 power switches;
81 is a P-channel device, and 82, 83 and 84 are N-channel
devices. The main difficulty with this approach is that in
integrating the switches, the substrates of 83 and 84 must
always remain reverse-biased with respect to their sources,
but not so much as to degrade their ON resistances. In
addition, at circuit start-up, and under output short circuit
conditions (VOUT = V+), the output voltage must be sensed
and the substrate bias adjusted accordingly. Failure to
accomplish this will result in high power losses and probable
device latCh-Up.
This problem is eliminated in the TC7660 by a logic
network which senses the output voltage (VOUT) together with
the level translators, and switches the substrates of 83 and
84 to the correct level to maintain necessary reverse bias.
The voltage regulator portion of the TC7660 is an
integral part ofthe anti-latch-up circuitry. Its inherent voltage
drop can, however, degrade operation at low voltages. To
improve low-voltage operation, the LV pin should be
connected to GND, disabling the regulator. For supply
voltages greater than 3.5V, the LV terminal must be left
open to ensure latch-up-proof operation and prevent device
damage.

Circuit Description
The TC7660 contains all the necessary circuitry to
complete a voltage doubler, with the exception of two
external capacitors, which may be inexpensive 10 J.lF polarized electrolytic capacitors. Operation is best understood by
considering Figure 3, which shows an idealized voltage
doubler. Capacitor Cl is charged to a voltage, V+, forthe half
cycle when switches Sl and S3 are closed. (Note: Switches
82 and 84 are open during this half cycle.) During the second
half cycle of operation, switches S2 and S4 are closed, with
81 and 83 open, thereby shifting capacitor Cl negatively by
V+ volts. Charge is then transferred from Cl to C2, such that
the voltage on C2 is exactly V+, assuming ideal switches and
no load on C2.

Theoretical Power Efficiency
Considerations
In theory, a voltage multiplier can approach 100%
efficiency if certain conditions are met:
.
(1) The drive circuitry consumes minimal power.

(2) The output switches have extremely low ON
resistance and virtually no offset.
(3) The impedances of the pump and reservoir
capacitors are negligible at the pump frequency.
S-36

OC-TO-OC VOLTAGE CONVERTER

TC7660
The TC7660 approaches these conditions for negative
voltage multiplication if large values of C 1 and C2 are used.
Energy is lost only in the transfer of charge between
capacitors if a change in voltage occurs. The energy lost
is defined by:

VI and V2 are the voltages on Cl during the pump and
transfer cycles. If the impedances of Cl and C2 are relatively
high at the pump frequency (refer to Figure 3), compared to
the value of RL, there will be a substantial difference in
voltages VI and V2. Therefore, it is not only desirable to
make C2 as large as possible to eliminate output voltage
ripple, but also to employ a correspondingly large value for
Cl in order to achieve maximum efficiency of operation.

Dos and Don'ts
• 00 not exceed maximum supply Voltages.
• 00 not connect LV terminal to GNO for supply voltages

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Simple Negative Voltage Converter
Figure 4 shows typical connections to provide a negative supply where a positive supply is available. A similar
scheme may be employed for supply voltages anywhere in
the operating range of +1.SV to +10V, keeping in mind that
pin 6 (LV) is tied to the supply negative (GND) only for supply
voltages below 3.5V, and that diode Ox must be included for
proper operation at higher voltage and/or elevated temperatures.
The output characteristics of the circuit in Figure 4 are
those of a nearly ideal voltage source in series with 700.
Thus, for a load current of -lOrnA and a supply voltage of
+SV, the output voltage would be -4.3V.
The dynamic output impedance of the TC7660 is due,
primarily, to capacitive reactance of the charge transfer
capacitor (Cl). Since this capacitor is connected to the
output for only 1/2 of the cycle, the equation is:

2

X c = - - =3.180,
2m Cl
where f = 10 kHz and Cl = 10 IlF.

greater than 3.5V.

• 00 not short circuit the output to V+ supply for voltages
above 5.5V for extended periods; however, transient
conditions including start-up are okay.

• When using polarized capacitors, the + terminal of Cl

and Elevated Temperature

"NOTES: 1. VOUT = -n V+ for 1.SV '" V+ '" 6.SV.
2. VOUT = -n (V+-VFDX) for 6.5V '" V+ '" 10V.

The TC7660 will operate efficiently over its specified
temperature range with only two external passive components (storage and pump capacitors), provided the operating supply voltage does not exceed 6.SVat +70°C and SVat
+ 125°C. Exceeding these maximums at the temperatures
indicated may result in destructive latch-up of the TC7660.
Operation at supply voltages up to 10V over the full
temperature range, without danger of latch-up, can be
achieved by adding a general-purpose diode in series with
the TC7660 output, as shown by Ox in the circuit diagrams.
The effect of this diode on overall circuit performance is the
reduction of output voltage by one diode drop (approximately O.6V).

Paralleling Devices
Any number of TC7660 voltage converters may be
paralleled to reduce output resistance (Figure S). The reservoir capacitor, C2, serves all devices, while each device
requires its own pump capacitor, Cl. The resultant output
resistance would be approximately:

Figure 5. Paralleling Devices Lowers Output Impedance

Cascading Devices
The TC7660 may be cascaded as shown (Figure 6) to
produce larger negative multiplication of the initial supply
voltage. However, due to the finite efficiency of each device,
the practical limit is 10 devices for light loads. The output
voltage is defined by:

where n is an integer representing the number of devices
cascaded. The resulting output resistance would be approximately the weighted sum of the individual TC7660
ROUT values.

Changing the TC7660 Oscillator Frequency
It may be desirable in some applications (due to noise or
other considerations) to increase the oscillator frequency.
This is achieved by overdriving the oscillator from an external clock, as shown in Figure 7. In order to prevent possible

device latch-up, a 1 k.Q resistor must be used in series with
the clock output. In a situation where the designer has
generated the external clock frequency using TTL logic, the
addition of a 10 k.Q pull-up resistor to V+ supply is required.
Note that the pump frequency with external clocking, as with
internal clocking, will be 1/2 of the clock frequency. Output
transitions occur on the positive-going edge of the clock.
Ii is alsu pussibie to increase the conversion efficiency
of the TC7660 at low load levels by lowering the oscillator
frequency. This reduces the switching losses, and is achieved
by connecting an additional capacitor, Case, as shown in
Figure 8. Lowering the oscillator frequency will cause an
undesirable increase inthe impedance ofthe pump (Cl) and
the reservoir (C2) capacitors. To overcome this, increase the
values of Cl and C2 by the same factor that the frequency
has been reduced. For example, the addition of a 100 pF
capacitor between pin 7 (OSC) and pin 8 (V+) will lower the
oscillator frequency to 1 kHz from its nominal frequency of
10kHz (a multiple of 10), and necessitate a corresponding
increase in the values of Cl and C2 (from 10 ~F to 100 ~F).

Combined Negative Voltage Conversion
and Positive Supply Multiplication
Figure 10 combines the functions shown in Figures 4
and 9 to provide negative voltage conversion and positive
voltage multiplication simultaneously. This approach would
be, for example, suitable for generating +9V and -5V from
an existing +5V supply. In this instance, capacitors C1 and
Ca perform the pump and reservoir functions, respectively,
for the generation of the negative voltage, while capacitors
C2 and C4 are pump and reservoir, respectively, for the
multiplied positive Voltage. There is a penalty in this con·
figuration which combines both functions, however, in that
the source impedances of the generated supplies will be
somewhat higher due to the finite impedance ofthe common
charge pump driver at pin 2 of the device.

Figure 7. External Clocking

V+

Figure 8. Lowering Oscillator Frequency

Positive Voltage Multiplication
The TC7660 may be employed to achieve positive
voltage multiplication using the circuit shown in Figure 9. In
this application, the pump inverter switches of the TC7660
are used to charge Cl to a voltage level of V+-VF (where V+
is the supply voltage and VF is the forward voltage drop of
diode 01). On the transfer cycle, the voltage on C1 plus the
supply voltage (V+) is applied through diode 02 to capacitor
C2. The voltage thus created on C2 becomes (2 V+) - (2 VF),
or twice the supply voltage minus the combined forward
voltage drops of diodes 01 and 02.
The source impedance of the output (VOUT) will depend
on the output current, but for V+ = 5V and an output current
of 10 rnA, it will be approximately 600.

Figure 10. Combined Negative Converter and Positive Multiplier

Efficient Positive Voltage
Multiplication/Conversion
Since the switches that allow the charge pumping op·
eration are bidirectional, the charge transfer can be per·
formed backwards as easily as forwards. Figure 11 shows
a TC7660 transforming -5V to +5V (or +5V to +1 OV, etc.).
The only problem here is that the internal clock and switch·
drive section will not operate until some positive voltage has
been generated. An initial inefficient pump, as shown in
Figure 10, could be used to start this circuit up, after which
it will bypass the other (0 1 and 02 in Figure 10 would never
turn on), or else the diode and resistor shown dotted in
Figure 11 can be used to "force" the internal regulator on.

Voltage Splitting
The same bidirectional characteristics used in Figure 11
can also be used to split a higher supply in half, as shown in
Figure 12. The combined load will be evenly shared between
the two sides. Once again, a high value resistor to the LV pin
ensures start-up. Because the switches share the load in
parallel, the output impedance is much lower than in the
standard circuits, and higher currents can be drawn from the
device. By using this ciiCUit, and then the (;in;uii oj Figure 6,
+ 15V can be converted (via +7.5V and -7.5V) to a nominal
-15V, though with rather high series resistance (-2500).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC7662A is an improved version of the industrystandard TC7660fTC7662 switched capacitor DC-to-DC
converters. CMOS construction and advanced design result in a device with twice the output power of the TC7662
and requires fewer parts in many applications.
The TC7662A can source 40 rnA versus the TC7662's
20 rnA capability. As an inverter, the TC7662A can output
voltages as high as 18V and as low as 3V, without the need

for external diodes. The output impedance of the device is
a low 40n (typical), voltage conversion efficiency is 99.9%,
and power conversion efficiency is 97%.
See TC962 if higher output current is required.
The low-voltage terminal (pin 6) required in some TC7662
applications has been eliminated. Only two external capacitors are required for inverter applications. If an external clock
is needed to drive the TC7662A (such as when paralleling),
driving pin 7 directly will cause the internal oscillator to sync
to the external clock.
The TC7662A can be used in applications such as
VOUT =-VIN, VOUT = 2 VIN, VOUT = VIt./2, and VOUT = ±nVIN.
It may also be used as a DC-to-DC inverter, a doubler,
a plus and minus supply splitter, and (when combined with
other TC7662A's), as a voltage multiplier greater than two.
The TC7662A is compatible with the LTC1 044,
ICL7660, ICL7662, S17661, and TC7660. It is recommended
for designs requiring greater power and/or less input-tooutput voltage drop.

Capacitor Equivalent Circuit

Note one of its characteristics is ESR (equivalent series
resistance). This parasitic resistance winds up in series with
the load. Thus, both voltage and power conversion efficiency are compromised if a low ESR capacitor is not used.
For example, in the "Test Circuit", changing Cp and CR
capacitors with typical ESR to low ESR types, the effective
converter output impedance changed from 4S0 to 400, an
improvement of 12%.
This applies to all types of capacitors, including film
types (polyester, polycarbonate etc.).
Some applications information suggest the capacitor is
not critical and attribute the limiting factor of the capacitor to
its reactive value. Let's examine this:

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Theory of Operation
The TC7662A is a capacitive pump (sometimes called
a switched capacitor circuit), where four MOSFET switches
control the charge and discharge of a capacitor.
The functional diagram (page 1) shows how the switching action works. SW1 and SW2 are tumed on simultaneously, charging C1 to the supply voltage, V§. This assumes that the on resistance of the MOSFETs in series
with the capacitor results in a charging time (3 time constants) less than the on time provided by the oscillator
frequency, as shown:

Xc = _1_ and
21tf C

Zc

Xc

= OS

'

where OS (duty cycle) = SO%.
Thus, Zc = 1.330 at f = 12 kHz, where C = 10 ~F.
For the TC7662A, f = 12,000 Hz, and a typical value of
C would be 10 ~F. This a reactive impedance of =1.33W. If
the ESR is as great as SW, the reactive value is not as critical
as it would first appear, as the ESR would predominate. The
SW value is typical of a general-purpose electrolytic capacitor.

SUPPLY BYPASSING

INPUT STAGE

Large currents are required to charge and discharge
large capacitive loads quickly. For example, charging a
1OOO-pF load 16V in 25 ns requires an O.8A current from the
device power supply.
To guarantee low supply impedance over a wide frequency range, a parallel capacitor combination is recommended for supply bypassing. Low-inductance ceramic
MLC capacitors with short lead lengths «0.5-in.) should be
used. A 1.0-/-lF film capacitor in parallel with one or two
O.1-/-lF ceramic MLC capacitors normally provides adequate
bypassing.

The input voltage level changes the no-load or quiescent supply current. The N-channel MOSFET input stage
transistor drives a 2.5 mA current source load. With a logic
"1" input, the maximum quiescent supply current is 9 mAo
Logic "0" input level signals reduce quiescent current to 500
JlA maximum. Unused driver inputs must be connected
to VDO or GND. Minimum power dissipation occurs for logic
"0" inputs for the TC1426/27/28.
The drivers are designed with 100 mV of hysteresis.
This provides clean transitions and minimizes output stage
current spiking when changing states. Input voltage
thresholds are approximately 1.5V, making logic "1" input
any voltage greater than 1.5V upto Voo.lnputcurrent is less
than 1 JlA over this range.
The TC1426/27/28 may be directly driven by the TL494,
SG1526/27, TC38C42, TC170 and similar switch-mode
power supply integrated circuits.

GROUNDING
The TC1426 and TC1428 contain inverting drivers.
Ground potential drops developed in common ground impedances from input to output will appear as negative
feedback and degrade switching speed characteristics.
Individual ground returns forthe input and output circuits
or a ground plane should be used.

The TC426rrC427rrC428 are dual CMOS high-speed
drivers. A TTUCMOS input voltage level is translated into
an output voltage level swing equaling the supply. The
CMOS output will be within 25 mV of ground or positive
supply. Bipolar designs are capable of swinging only within
1V of the supply.
The low impedance, high-current driver outputs will
swing a 1000 pF load 18V in 30 ns. The unique current and
voltage drive qualities make the TC4261TC427rrC428 ideal
power MOSFET drivers, line drivers, and DC-to-DC converter building blocks.
Input logic signals may equal the power supply voltage.
Input current is a low 1 ~, making direct interface to
CMOS/bipolar switch-mode power supply control ICs possible, as well as open-collector analog comparators.
Quiescent power supply current is 8 mA maximum.
The TC426 requires 1/5 the current of the pin-compatible
bipolar DS0026 device. This is important in DC-to-DC
converter applications with power efficiency constraints
and high-frequency switch-mode power supply applications.
Quiescent current is typically 6 mA when driving a 1000 pF
load 18V at 100 kHz.
The inverting TC426 driver is pin-compatible with the
bipolar DS0026 and MMH0026 devices. The TC427 is
noninverting; the TC428 contains an inverting and noninverting driver.

The input voltage level changes the no-load or quiescent supply current. The N-channel MOSFET input stage
transistor drives a 2.5 mA current source load. With a logic
"1" input, the maximum quiescent supply current is 8 mAo
Logic "0" input level signals reduce quiescent current to
0.4 rnA maximum. Minimum power dissipation occurs for
logic "0" inputs for the TC426/427/428. Unused driver
inputs must be connected to Voo or GND.
The drivers are designed with 100 mV of hysteresis.
This provides clean transitions and minimizes output stage
current spiking when changing states. Input voltage thresholds are approximately 1.5V, making the device TTL compatible over the 4.5V to 18V supply operating range. Input
current is less than 1 J.LA over this range.
The TC426/427/428 may be directly driven by the
TL494, SG 1526/1527, SG 1524, SE5560, and similar switchmode power supply integrated circuits.

GROUNDING

degrade switching speed characteristics.
Individual ground returns for the input and output circuits
or a ground plane should be used.

POWER DISSIPATION
The supply current vs frequency and supply current vs
capacitive load characteristic curves will aid in determining
power dissipation calculations.
The TC426/427/428 CMOS drivers have greatly reduced quiescent DC power consumption. Maximum quiescent current is 8 mA compared to the DS0026 40 mA
specification. For a 15V supply, power dissipation is typically 40 mW.

In power MOSFET drive applications the Poc term is
negligible. MOSFET power transistors are high impedance, capacitive input devices. In applications where resistive loads or relays are driven, the Poc component will
normally dominate.
The magnitude of PAC is readily estimated for several
cases:

B.

A.

Two other power dissipation components are:
• Output stage AC and DC load power.
• Transition state power.

1. f
2. CL
3. Vs
4. PAC

Output stage power is:
Po = Poc + PAC
= Vo (Ioc) + f CL Vs

= 20kHZ
=1000 pf
= 18V
=65mW

1. f
2. CL
3. VS
4. PAC

= 200 kHz
=1000 pf
=15V
=45mW

During output level state changes, a current surge will
flow through the series connected Nand P channel output
MOSFETS as one device is turning "ON" while the other is
turning "OFF". The current spike flows only during output
transitions. The input levels should not be maintained between the logic "0" and logic "1" levels. Unused driver inputs must be tied to ground and not be allowed to float.
Average power dissipation will be reduced by minimizing
input rise times. As shown in the characteristic curves,
average supply current is frequency dependent.

SINGLE HIGH-SPEED, CMOS POWER MOSFET DRIVER
FEATURES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•
•
•

The TC429 is a high-speed, single CMOS-level translator and driver. Designed specifically to drive highly capacitive power MOSFET gates, the TC429 features 2.50 output
impedance and 6A peak output current drive.
A 2500 pF capacitive load will be driven 18V in 25 ns.
Delay time through the device is 60 ns. The rapid switching
times with large capacitive loads minimize MOSFET transition power loss.
A TTUCMOS input logic level is translated into an
output voltage swing that equals the supply and will swing
to within 25 mV of ground or VDD. Input voltage swing may
equal the supply. Logic input current is under 10 !lA, making
direct interface to CMOSlbipolar switch-mode power supply
controllers easy. Input "speed-up" capacitors are not
required.
The CMOS design minimizes quiescent power supply
current. With a logic 1 input, power supply current is 5 rnA
maximum and decreases to 0.5 mA for logic 0 inputs.
For dual devices, see the TC426ITC427ITC428 data
sheet.
For noninverting applications, or applications requiring
latch-up protection, see the TC4420ITC4429 data sheet.

Charging and discharging large capacitive loads quickly
requires large currents. For example, charging a 2500 pF
load 18V in 25 ns requires a 1.8A current from the device's
power supply.
To guarantee low supply impedance over a wide frequency range, a parallel capacitor combination is recommended for supply bypassing. Low-inductance ceramic
disk capacitors with short lead lengths «0.5 in.) should be
used. A 1 IJF film capacitor in parallel with one or two 0.1 IJF
ceramic disk capacitors normally provides adequate bypassing.

PC. TRACE RESISTANCE = o.osn

GROUNDING
The high-current capability of the TC429 demands
careful PC board layout for best performance. Since the
TC429 is an inverting driver, any ground lead impedance will
appear as negative feedback which can degrade switching
speed. The feedback is especially noticeable with slow risetime inputs, such as those produced by an open-collector
output with resistor pull-up. The TC429 input structure
includes about 300 mVof hysteresis to ensure clean transitions and freedom from oscillation, but attention to layout is
still recommended.
Figure 2 shows the feedback effect in detail. As the
TC429 input begins to go positive, the output goes negative
and several amperes of current flow in the ground lead. As
little as 0.050 of PC trace resistance can produce hundreds
of millivolts at the TC429 ground pins. If the driving logic is
referenced to power ground, the effective logic input level is
reduced and oscillations may result.

GROUND O--L-"

Rgure 2

Switching lime Degradation Due to Negative Faedback

To ensure optimum device performance, separate ground
traces should be provided for the logic and power connections. Connecting logic ground directly to the TC429 GND
pins ensures full logic drive to the input and fast output
switching. Both GND pins should be connected to power
ground.

INPUT STAGE
The input voltage level changes the no-load or quiescent
supply current. The N-channel MOSFET input stage transistor drives a 3 rnA current source load. With a logic "1" input,
the maximum quiescent supply current is 5 rnA. Logic "0"
input level signals reduce quiescent current to 500 JJA maximum.

•

SINGLE HIGH-SPEED, CMOS
POWER MOSFET DRIVER
TC429
The TC429 input is designed to provide 300 mV of
hysteresis, providing clean transitions and minimizing output stage current spiking when changing states. Input voltage levels are approximately 1.5V, making the device TTL
compatible over the 7V to 1SV operating supply range. Input
current is less than 10 ~ over this range.
The TC429 can be directly driven by TL494, SG15261
1527, SG 1524, SE5560 or similar switch-mode power supply integrated circuits. By off-loading the power-driving
duties to the TC429, the power supply controller can operate
at lower dissipation, improving performance and reliability.

POWER DISSIPATION

Quiescent power dissipation depends on input signal
duty cycle. A logic low input results in a low-power dissipation mode with only 0.5 rnA total current drain. Logic high
signals raise the current to 5 mA maximum. The queiscent
power dissipation is:
Pa = Vs (0 (IH) + (1-0) Ill,
where: IH = Quiescent current with input high (5 mA max)
IL = Quiescent current with input low (0.5 rnA max)
o = Duty cycle.
Transition power dissipation arises because the output
stage N- and P-channel MOS transistors are "on" simultaneously for a very short period when the output changes.
The transition package power dissipation is approximately:

CMOS circuits usually permit the user to ignore power
dissipation. Logic families such as the 4000 and 74C have
outputs that can only supply a few milliamperes of current,
and even shorting outputs to ground will not force enough
current to destroy the device. The TC429, however, can
source or sink several amperes and drive large capacitive
loads at high frequency. The packgae power dissipation limit
can easily be exceeded. Therefore, some attention should
be given to power dissipation when driving low impedance
loads and/or operating at high frequency.
The supply current versus frequency and supply current
versus capacitive load characteristic curves will aid in determining power dissipation calculations. Table I lists the maximum operating frequency for several power supply voltages
when driving a 2500 pF load. More accurate power dissipation figures can be obtained by summing the three power
sources.
Input signal duty cycle, power supply voltage, and
capacitive load influence package power dissipation. Given
power dissipation and package thermal resistance, the
maximum ambient operation temperature is easily calculated. The S-pin cerOIP junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 150°CIW. At +25°C, the package is rated at SOO mW
maximum dissipation. Maximum allowable chip temperature is + 150°C.
Three components make up total package power dissipation:

PT = f Vs (3310-11).
An example shows the relative magnitude for each item.
Example 1:
C =2500pF
Vs = 15V
o =50%
f = 200 kHz
PD = Package power dissipation = Pc + PT + Pa
= 113 mW + 90 mW + 26 mW
=229mW.
Maximum operating temperature = TJ - 6JA (Po)
= 115°C,
where: TJ = Maximum allowable junction temperature
(+150°C)
6JA = Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance
(50°CIW, CerOIP).
NOTE:

(1) Capacitive load dissipation (Pc)
(2) Quiescent power (Pa)
(3) Transition power (PT)
The capacitive load-caused dissipation is a direct function of frequency, capacitive load, and supply Voltage. The
package power dissipation is:
Pc =f C VS2,
where: f = Switching frequency
C = Capacitive load
Vs = Supply Voltage.

POWER-ON OSCILLATION
It is extremely important that all MOSFET DRIVER
applications be evaluated for the possibility of having
HIGH-POWER OSCILLATIONS occurring during the
POWER-ON cycle.
POWER-ON OSCILLATIONS are due to trace size and
layout as well as component placement. A 'quick fix' for most
applications which exhibit POWER-ON OSCILLATION
problems is to place approximately 10 kQ in series with the
input of the MOSFET driver.

TC430
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC430 is a super-fast CMOS power driver for
driving CCDs and other loads. The TC430 operates at
frequencies to 10 MHz and drives loads greater than 2200 pF.
Peak current output is 3A.
The input is TTUCMOS compatible. Digital return and
output return can be at different Voltages, allowing operation
with output swings between positive and negative supplies
without sacrificing AC performance when driven from TTL.
The ability to swing negative is important when driving CCD
devices.
The output stages have been designed so the rising
edge of one output crosses the 50% point of the transition
within 5 ns of the other. This makes the TC430 ideal for
driving CCDs and achieving high contrast images.
CMOS construction achieves low quiescent power (less
than 5 rnA at 15V and 25°C) and low input current requirements. This device requires fewer external components
than bipolar devices like the DS0026 which need external
speed-up capacitors.

(2) A minimum 4.SV must be rnaintained between
digital retum and Voo.
(3) Decoupling between Voo and Vss is critical.
(4) Single-point (star) ground systems should be used.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Functional Description
The TC430 is fabricated with a super-fast silicon gate
process. The input stage consists of a Schmitt trigger
which drives a level shift circuit. The level shift circuit allows
the input signal to be referenced to some point other than
the output retum, pin 3 (Vss). This allows the output to swing
positive and negative relative to the digital return (pin 1).
The output stage is a low-impedance MOSFET totem
pole that can source or sink currents up to 3A peak. This type
of output can swing to within millivolts of either rail when
driving capacitive loads. Output rise times are on the order
of 3 ns, while propagation delays are in the 1S ns region.

For decoupling between digital return and Voo [item (1)
above] a 1 iJ.F SOV polyester film cap (such as a Wima
MKS-2) in parallel with a multilayer ceramic 0.1 iJ.F SO X7R
(such as an AVX dip guard) will work well. These capacitors have to be mounted as close as possible to the respective pins on the TC430 to minimize circuit inductance.
Circuits that are improperly decoupled will exhibit oscillations on the output.
A minimum 4.SV between digital return and Voo [item
(2) above] is necessary to ensure that the level shifting and
hysteresis circuits have enough voltage to function properly. Put another way, the input circuit is referenced to the
positive supply, not the negative supply.
Decoupling of the Vss to Voo [item (3) above] is important because of the high peak current catlability of the
output of the TC430. The suggested decoupling is a low
ESR polyester film capacitor (such as the 1 iJ.F 50V MKS2) and a ceramic capacitor (such as the AVX 0.1 iJ.F 50V
dip guard).

Application Tips
Due to its high speed and short transition times, proper
layout of the PC board is critical. See Application Note 28
for further information on the effects of layout.
Additional precautions that must be made in addition to
those in Application Note 28 are:
(1) Decoupling between the digital return and Voo is
critical.

Input Signal Considerations

The parallel combination of the two capacitors forms a
low-impedance source of power across a broad frequency
range for the output stage. This will ensure that for any load
and frequency of operation the output will be as "clean" as
is practical.
The use of single-point grounds [item (4) above] is very
critical. Due to the high peak currents that the TC430 is
capable of generating, any additional trace or wire length
can cause L di/dt drops that can effect the output and in the
extreme cause the device to fail due to voltage breakdown.
Application Note 28 explains parasitic inductance problems further.

The amplitude of the input signal has a significant
effect on the propagation delay through the IC.
While the device can be driven with a signal as small
as 2V, propagation delays will be in the 40 ns region. If the
input is increased to 5V, delays will be in the 15 ns region.
The input stage of the TC430 is a MOSFET gate. Thus,
it is of high impedance and requires little drive current. This
eliminates the need for speed-up capacitors as with older
bipolar parts. The use of speed-up capacitors is not recommended, as they can cause voltage-doubling effects that
can be detrimental to the life of the device.

Operation From a Single Supply

Table I Maximum Operating Frequency
Max Frequency
Vs

If the TC430 is operated from a single supply voltage,
the digital return pin must be tied to the Vss pin. This eliminates the need for the decoupling capacitors from VDD to
digital return.

2. TA =25'C
3. No load

Load Return Path
It is very important to return the load currents directly to,
and in the shortest possible distance to V ss, pin 3. Again, this
is due to the parasitic inductance of the PC board trace or
wire. The test circuit shows how the load capacitors, CLOAD,
are returned to the same point as the decoupling capacitors
which is directly on pin 3.

FEATURES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•
•
•
•
•

The TC4401 is a CMOS buffer-driver constructed with
complementary MOS outputs, where the drains of the final
output totem pole have been left disconnected so individual connections can be made to the pull-up and pulldown sections of the output. This allows the insertion of
individual drain current-limiting resistors in the pull-up and
pull-down sections of the output, thus allowing the user to
define the rates of rise and fall times desired for a capaci·
tive load, or a reduced output swing if driving a resistive
load, orto limit base current when driving a bipolar transistor.
Minimum rise and fall times, with no resistors, will be less
than 30 ns for a 2S00-pF load. There is no upper limit.
For driving MOSFETs in motor·control applications,
where slow-onlfast-off operation is desired, the TC4401 is
superior to the previously-used technique of adding a dioderesistor combination between the driver output and the
MOSFET, because it allows accurate control of turn-on,
while maintaining fast turn-off and maximum noise immunity
for the device being driven.
When used to drive bipolar transistors, this driver
maintains the high speeds common to other Teledyne
drivers and allows insertion of a base current-limiting
resistor, while providing a separate half-output for fast turnoff. By proper positioning of the resistor, either npn or pnp
transistors can be driven.

6A OPEN-DRAIN MOSFET DRIVER

TC4401
For driving many loads in low-power regimes, this
driver, because it has very low quiescent current «150 iJA)
and eliminates shoot-through currents in the output stage,
requires significantly less power than similar drivers, and
can be helpful in meeting low-power budgets.
Because neither drain in an output is dependent on the
other (though they do switch simultaneously), this device
can also be used as an open-drain buffer/driver where both
drains are available in one device, thus minimizing chip
count. An unused open drain should be returned to the
supply rail its device source are connected to (pull-down to
ground, pull-up to VDD) , to prevent static damage. Alternatively, in situations where timing resistors, or other means of

limiting crossover currents are used, multiple TC4401 's may
be paralleled for greater current-carrying capacity.
The TC4401 is built using Teledyne Components' new
Tough CMOS process and is capable of giving reliable
service in the most demanding electrical environments: it
will not latch under any conditions within its power and
voltage ratings; it is not subject to damage when up to 5V of
noise spiking of either polarity occurs on the ground pin; and
it can accept, without damage or logic upset, up to 1.5 amp
of reverse current (of either polarity) being forced back into
the outputs. All terminals are fully protected against up to
2 kV of electrostatic discharge.

FEATURES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•
•
•
•

The TC4404 and TC4405 are CMOS buffer-drivers
constructed with complementary MOS outputs, where the
drains of the final output totem pole have been left
disconnected so individual connections can be made to the
pull-up and pull-down sections of the output. This allows
the insertion of individual drain-current-limiting resistors in
the pull-up and pull-down sections of the output, thus allowing the user to define the rates of rise and fall desired
for a capacitive load, or a reduced output swing if driving a
resistive load, or to limit base current when driving a bipolar
transistor. Minimum rise and fall times, with no resistors,
will be less than 30 ns for a 1000-pF load. There is no
upper limit.
For driving MOSFETs in motor-control applications,
where slow-onlfast-off operation is desired, these devices
are superior to the previously-used technique of adding a
diode-resistor combination between the driver output and
the MOSFET, because they allow accurate control of turnon, while maintaining fast turn-off and maximum noise
immunity for an OFF device.
When used to drive bipolar transistors, these drivers
maintain the high speeds common to other Teledyne drivers and allow insertion of a base current-limiting resistor,
while providing a separate half-output for fast turn-off. By
proper positioning of the resistor, either npn or pnp transistors can be driven.

TC440S
For driving many loads in low-power regimes, these
drivers, because they eliminate shoot-through currents in the
output stage, require significantly less power at higher frequencies, and can be helpful in meeting low-power budgets.
Because neither drain in an output is dependent on the
other, these devices can also be used as open-drain buffer1
drivers where both drains are available in one device, thus
minimizing chip count. Unused open drains should be
returned to the supply rail their device sources are connected
to (pull-downs to ground, pull-ups to VDD), to prevent static
damage. In addition, in situations where timing resistors, or
other means of limiting crossover currents are used, like

drains may be paralleled for greater current carrying capacity.
These devices are built using Teledyne Components'
new Tough CMOS process and are capable of giving reliable service in the most demanding electrical environments:
they will not latch under any conditions within their power
and voltage ratings; they are not subject to damage when up
to 5V of noise spiking of either polarity occurs on their
ground pin; and they can accept, without damage or logic
upset, up to 1/2 amp of reverse current (of either polarity)
being forced back into their outputs. All terminals are fully
protected against up to 2 kV of electrostatic discharge.

POWER-ON OSCILLATION
It is extremely important that all MOSFET DRIVER applications be evaluated for the possibility of having HIGHPOWER OSCILLATIONS occurring during the POWER-ON cycle.
POWER-ON OSCILLATIONS are due to trace size and layout as well as component placement. A 'quick fix' for most
applications which exhibit POWER-ON OSCILLATION problems is to place approximately 10 kn in series with the input of
the MOSFET driver.

POWER-ON OSCILLATION
It is extremely important that all MOSFET
DRIVER applications be evaluated for the possibility of having HIGH-POWER OSCILLATIONS occurring during the POWER-ON cycle.
POWER-ON OSCILLATIONS are due to trace
size and layout as well as component placement. A
'quick fix' for most applications which exhibit POWERON OSCILLATION problems is to place approximately 10 kn in series with the input of the MOSFET
driver.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC4420/4429 Tough CMOSTM drivers are efficient
and easy to use. These devices are 6A (peak) single output
MOSFET drivers.
The TC4420/4429 will drive even the largest MOSFETs.
These devices are tough due to extra steps taken to
protect them from failures. An epitaxial layer is used to
prevent CMOS latch-Up. Proprietary circuits allow the input
to swing negative as much as 5V without damaging the
part. Special circuits have been added to protect against
damage from electrostatic discharge. A special molding
compound is used for increased moisture resistance and
ability to withstand high Voltages. They are also tough

because of Teledyne Components' world-class process
controls and device quality.
Because these devices are fabricated in CMOS, they
run cool, use less power and are easier to drive. The rail-torail swing capability of CMOS better insures adequate gate
voltage to the MOSFET during power up/down sequencing.
The Tough CMOSTM drivers are easy to use. Three or
more discrete components can be replaced with a single
device to save PCB area. Any logic input from 2.4V to VDD
can be used without external speed-up capacitors or resistor
networks.
This family is available in inverting (TC4429) and
non inverting (TC4420) configurations. The TC4429 is pin
compatible with the popular TC429.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC442614427/4428 are CMOS buffer/drivers built
using Teledyne Components' new Tough CMOS process.
They are improved versions of the earlier TC4261427/428
family of buffer/drivers (with which they are pin compatible)
and are capable of giving reliable service in far more
demanding electrical environments. They will not latch up
under any conditions within their power and voltage ratings.
They are not subject to damage when up to 5V of noise
spiking (of either polarity) occurs on the ground pin. They
can accept, without damage or logic upset, up to 500 rnA of
reverse current (of either polarity) being forced back into
their outputs. All terminals are fully protected against up to
4 kV of electrostatic discharge.
In addition, Teledyne now uses a custom-developed
molding epoxy for plastic packages which, in tests, produced zero device failures after 10,000 hours in an 85°C85% R.H. environment, and contains 50% less sodium and
chlorine contamination than standard commercial molding
compounds, increasing device lifetimes.
As a result, the TC4426/4427/4428 drivers are much
easier to use, more flexible in operation, and much more
forgiving than any other drivers (CMOS or bipolar) currently
available. Because they are fabricated in CMOS, they
dissipate a minimum of power and provide rail-to-rail voltage
swings to ensure the logic state of any load they are driving.
Although primarily intendedfordriving power MOSFETs,
the TC442614427/4428 drivers are equally well-suited to
driving any other load (capacitive, resistive, or inductive)
which requires a low-impedance driver capable of high peak
currents and fast switching times. For example, heavily
loaded clock lines, coaxial cables, or piezoelectrictransducers all can be driven from the TC4426/4427/4428. The only
known limitation on loading is that total power dissipated in
the driver must be kept within the maximum power dissipation limits of the package.
As MOSFET drivers, the TC442614427/4428 can easily
switch 1000 pF gate capacitances in under 30 ns, and
provide low enough impedances in both the ON and OFF
states to ensure the MOSFET's intended state will not be
affected, even by large transients.
Generally, the design of the TC4426/4427/4428 has
taken into account 5 years of field use (and abuse) of
Teledyne's earlier parts, with the goal of making these parts
immune to all forms of improper operation known from that
period, except exceeding the breakdown voltage and power
dissipation ratings.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC44XX family of four-output CMOS buffer/drivers
are an expansion from our earlier single- and dual-output
drivers. Each driver has been equipped with a two-input
logic gate for added flexibility. Four output configurations
have also been provided, so high-efficiency CMOS drivers
can be used whether the application requires a totem-pole
output or pull-up/pull-down output, or pull-down with a clamp
diode. These different input and output combinations make
these Power Logic'" drivers well suited for a wide range of
applications.
Although commonly used for driving power MOSFETs
and similar highly capacitive loads, these drivers are equally
well suited to driving any other load (capacitive, resistive, or
inductive) which requires a high efficiency, low-impedance
driver capable of high peak currents, rail-to-rail voltage
swings, and fast switching times. For example, relays and
solenoids can be driven with the 445X driver which contains
an internal clamp diode which will shunt inductive flybacks
back to the supply. The 443X driver provides a fast, low
impedance path to ground for devices referenced to the
upper supply rail like indicators, sounders or pin drivers. The
448X driver can source up to 250 mA into loads referenced
to ground. Heavily loaded clock lines, coaxial cables, and
piezoelectric transducers can all be driven easily with the
44XX series drivers. The only limitation on loading is that
total power dissipation in the IC must be kept within the
power dissipation limits of the package.
The TC44XX series drivers are built using Teledyne
Component's new Tough CMOS process, which makes
them easy and forgiving parts to use; capable of giving
reliable service in very demanding operating environments.
They will not latch under any conditions within their power
and voltage ratings. They are not subject to damage when
up to 5V of noise spiking (either polarity) occurs on the
ground line. They can accept up to half an amp of inductive
kickback current (either polarity) into their outputs without
damage or logic upset. In addition, all terminals are protected against ESD to at least 2000V. Even the molding
epoxy used on our plastic packages has been custom
developed to contain less sodium and chlorine contamination than standard commercial molding compounds. In
tests, it demonstrated zero device failures after 10,000
hours in an 85°C, 85% relative humidity environment.

Note 2

NOTES: 1. Totem-pole outputs should not be paralleled because the propagation delay differences from one to the other could cause one driver to
drive high a few nanoseconds before another. The resulting current spike, although short, may decrease the life of the device.
2. When driving all four outputs simultaneously in the same direction, Voo shall be limited to 16V. This reduces the chance that internal
dv/dt will cause high-power dissipation in the device.
3. The input threshold has about 50 mV of hysteresis centered at approximately 1.5V. Slow moving inputs will force the device to
dissipate high peak currents as the input transitions through this band. Input rise times should be kept below 5 Ils to avoid high internal
peak currents during input transitions. Static input levels should also be maintained above the maximum or below the minimum input
levels specified in the 'Electrical Characteristics' to avoid increased power dissipation in the device.

Supply Bypassing
Large currents are required to charge and discharge
large capacitive loads quickly. For example, charging a
1000 pF load 18V in 25 ns requires a 0.8A current from the
device's power supply.
To guarantee low supply impedance over a wide frequency range, a parallel capacitor combination is recommended for supply bypassing. Low inductance ceramic disk
capacitors with short lead lengths «0.5 in.) should be used.
A 1 ~F film capacitor in parallel with one or two 0.1 ~F
ceramic disk capacitors normally provides adequate bypassing.

Grounding
The TC44X7 and TC44X9 contain inverting drivers.
Ground potential drops developed in common ground impedances from input to output will appear as negative
feedback and degrade switching speed characteristics.
Individual ground returns for input and output circuits or
a ground plane should be used.

Three components make up total package power
dissipation:
(1) Load caused dissipation (PLl
(2) Quiescent power (Pa)
(3) Transition power (Pr).
A capacitive-load-caused dissipation (driving MOSFET
gates), is a direct function of frequency, capacitive load, and
supply voltage. The power dissipation is:

where: f = Switching frequency
C = Capacitive load
Vs = Supply voltage.
A resistive-load-caused dissipation for ground-referenced loads is a function of duty cycle, load current, and
load voltage. The power dissipation is:

Input Stage
The input voltage level changes the no load or quiescent
supply current. The N-channel MOSFET inputstagetransistor drives a 2.5 mA current source load. With logic "0"
outputs, maximum quiescent supply current is 4 rnA. Logic
"1" output level signals reduce quiescent current to 1.4 rnA
maximum. Unused driver inputs must be connected to VDD
or Vss. Minimum power dissipation occurs for logic "1"
outputs.
The drivers are designed with 50 mV of hysteresis. This
provides clean transitions and minimizes output stage current spiking when changing states. Input voltage thresholds
are approximately 1.5V, making Logic 1 input any voltage
greater than 1.5V up to VDD. Input current is less than 1 ~
over this range.

Power Dissipation
The supply current versus frequency and supply current
versus capacitive load characteristic curves will aid in determining power dissipation calculations.
Teledyne Components' CMOS drivers have greatly
reduced quiescent DC power consumption. Maximum quiescent current is 4 mA, compared to the D469's 20 rnA
specification.
Input signal duty cycle, power supply voltage, and load
type influence package power dissipation. Given power
dissipation and package thermal resistance, the maximum
ambient operation temperature is easily calculated. The 14pin plastic package junction-to-ambient thermal resistance
is 83.3°C/W. At +25°C, the package is rated at 1500 mW
maximum dissipation. Maximum allowable chip temperature is +150°C.

where: D = Duty cycle
Vs =Supply voltage
VL = Load voltage
IL = Load current.
A resistive-Ioad-caused dissipation for supply-referenced loads is a function of duty cycle, load current, and
output Voltage. The power dissipation is:

where: f = Switching frequency
Va =Device output voltage
IL = Load current.
Quiescent power dissipation depends on input signal
duty cycle. Logic high outputs result in a lower power
dissipation mode with only 0.6 rnA total current drain (all
devices driven). Logic low outputs raise the currentto 4 rnA
maximum. The quiescent power dissipation is:
Po = Vs (D(lH) + (1-D)ILJ,
where: IH = Quiescent current with all outputs low
(4 rnA max)
IL = Quiescent current with all outputs high
(0.6mAmax)
D = Duty cycle
Vs =Supply Voltage.

Transition power dissipation arises in the totem-pole
configuration (TC446X) because the output stage
N-channel and P-channel MOS transistors are ON
simultaneously for a very short period when the output
changes. The transition power dissipation is approximately:

Maximum operating temperature:

where: TJ

(+150°C)
9JA = Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance
(83.3°CIW) 14-pin plastic package.

PT =f Vs (10 X 10-9).
Package power dissipation is the sum of load, quiescent and transition power dissipations. An example shows
the relative magnitude for each term:
C = 1000 pF capacitive load
Vs = 15V
D =50%
f =200 kHz
PD = Package Power Dissipation

= Maximum allowable junction temperature

NOTE:

Ambient operating temperature should not exceed +85°C for
'EJO' device or +125°C for "MJD' device.

=PL + Po + PT

= 45 mW + 35 mW + 30 mW = 110 mW.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

ORDERING INFORMATION

The TC4460/4461/446214463 are high speed CMOS
drivers which incorporate a comparator input to terminate
the output pulse. These devices are ideal for driving power
MOSFETS, such as SENSEFETS®, which include a separate output which mirrors drain current.
The TC4460 devices consist of a power driver, comparator, and latch. In normal operation the device operates
as a power driver with a 6 A peak current totem-pole
output. When the comparator threshold is exceeded, the
latch is set and the output turns off. The output will not turn
on again until the latch is reset. A 'LOCK' output is provided to signal that the output is disabled.
The TC4460 is ideal for applications which require fast
response to an overload condition, such as PWM motor
drive circuits. The response time is enhanced because the
overload indication does not have to propagate through the
control loop circuitry. Instead, the comparator directly
monitors the SENSEFET current and turns off the driver
output. The comparator delay is typically only 170 ns.
The comparator threshold is set internally at 100 mV
±10 mV. In most applications the comparator threshold will
be referenced to analog ground, but the comparator common mode range extends from 0 V to 3 V.
With a comparator threshold of only 100 mV, low value
resistors can be used to monitor the SENSEFET's current.
Low impedances maximize the SENSEFET linearity, as
well as improving response time and reducing noise.
The totem-pole output will sink or source 6 A peak
current, with an output impedance of 2.5Q. Output swing is
to within 25mV of either supply rail, which ensures that a
power MOSFET will be turned fully ON or fully OFF. Rise
and fall times are only 25 ns with a 2500 pF load. Maximum load capacitance is essentially limited by package
power dissipation.
The TC4460/4461/446214463 are built with Teledyne
Component's Tough CMOSTM process. Digital inputs are
protected from noise spikes up to 5V below ground, while
the output will accept up to 1.5A of reverse current (of
either polarity) without damage.

•

The TC4626/4627 are single CMOS high speed drivers
with an on board voltage tripler. Three external capacitors
are required for the voltage tripler function. The part works
with input supply voltages from 2.6 volts to 6 volts depending
on the exact load requirements. An internal undervoltage
lockout circuit keeps the driver section disenabled while the
voltage at VORIVE remains below 9 volts.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

The TegOO is a low power, precision operational amplifier. Its 200 f.lA maximum supply current reduces device
power requirements over 15 times, compared to 7650
devices.
Offset voltage isa low 5 JlV with drift at 0.05 JlV/oC.lnput
offset voltage (Vos) errors are removed and adjustment
potentiometers are not necessary. The chopper-stabilized
error-correction technique keeps offset voltage errors near
zero throughout the device's operating temperature range.
The TegOO performance advantages are achieved
without additional manufacturing complexity and costs incurred with laser or "zener zap" Vos trim techniques. The
TC900 is one of the lowest cost, low power, precision operational amplifiers available.
The TegOO nulling scheme corrects both DC Vos errors
and Vos drift errors with temperature. A nulling amplifier
alternately corrects its own Vos errors and the main amplifier
Vas errors. Offset-nulling voltages are stored on two usersupplied external capacitors. The capacitors connect to the
internal amplifier Vos null points. The main amplifier input
signal is never switched. The nulling scheme keeps Vos

errors low throughout the operating temperature range. Laser
and "zener zap" trimming can correct for Vos at only one
temperature.
The nulling-circuit oscillator and control circuits are
integrated on-chip. Only two external Vos error storage
capacitors are required. The TC900 operates as a
conventional operational amplifier with vastly improved input
specifications. The low Vos and Vos drift errors make the

TC900 ideal for thermocouple, thermistor, and strain gauge
applications. Low DC errors and high open-loop gain make
the TC900 an excellent preamplifier for precision analog-todigital converters, such as the TC7135, TC850 and TC71 09A.
The 14-pin package has an external oscillator input to
drive the nulling circuitry. Both the 8-pin and 14-pin packages
have an output voltage clamp circuit to minimize overload
recovery time.

Chopper-Stabilized Operational Amplifiers

Clock Operation

The TC900 is the first commercially-available, lowpower, chopper-stabilized amplifer. Its maximum supply
current is 15 times lower than the pin-compatible TC7650.
Figure 1 shows how low supply current is achieved without
sacrificing offset voltage or offset voltage drift performance.

The internal oscillator is set for a 150 Hz nominal
chopping frequency. With the 14-pin device, the 150 Hz
internal chopping frequency is available at the INTERNAL
CLOCK OUTPUT (pin 12). A 300 Hz nominal signal will be
present at the EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT pin (pin 13) with
INT/EXT high or open. This is the internal clock signal
before a divide-by-two operation.
The 14-pin device can be driven by an external clock.
The INTfEXT input (pin 14) has an internal pull-up and may
be left open for internal clock operation. If an external clock
is used, INT/EXT must be tied to Vs- (pin 7) to disable the
internal clock. The external clock signal is applied to the
external clock input.

Nulling-Capacitor Connection
The offset voltage correction capacitors are connected
to CA and CB. The common capacitor connection is made to
Vs- (pin 4) on the 8-pin device and to capacitor return- (CRET,
pin 8) on the 14-pin device. The common connection should
be made through a separate PC trace or wire to avoid
voltage drops. Internally, Vs- is connected to CRET. (See
Figure 2.)

The external clock amplitude should swing between Vs+
and ground for power supplies up to ±6V, and between Vs+
and Vs+ -f3V for higher supply voltages.
At low frequencies, the external-clock duty cycle is not
critical, since an internal divide-by-two gives the desired
50% switching duty cycle. The offset storage correction
capacitors are charged only when the external clock input is
high. A 50% to 80% external-clock positive duty cycle is
desired for frequencies above 500 Hz to guarantee transients settle before the internal switches open.
The external clock input can also be used as a strobe
input. If a strobe signal is connected at the external clock
input, so that it is low during the time an overload signal is
applied, neither capacitor will be charged. Leakage currents

Output Clamp
Chopper-stabilized systems can show long overload
recovery times. If the output is driven to either supply rail,
output saturation occurs; the inputs are no longer held at a
"virtual ground." The Vas null circuit treats the differential
signal as an offset and tries to correct it by charging the
external capacitors. The nulling circuit also saturates. Once
the input signal returns to normal, the response time is
lengthened by the long recovery time of the nulling amplifier
and external capacitors.
Through an external clamp connection, the TC900
eliminates the overload recovery problem by reducing the
feedback network gain before the output voltage reaches
either supply rail.

Static Protection

junctions are at the same temperature, thermoelectric voltages, typically around 0.1IlV/oC, but up to tens of 1l~/oCfor
some materials, will be generated. In order to realize the
benefits extremely low offset voltages provide, it is essential
to take special precautions to avoid temperature gradients.
All components should be enclosed to eliminate air movements, especially those caused by power-dissipating elements in the system. Low thermoelectric-coefficient connections should be used where possible, and power supply
voltages and power dissipation should be kept to a minimum. High-impedance loads are preferable, and separation
from surrounding heat-dissipating elements is advised .

All device pins are static-protected. However, strong
static fields and discharges should be avoided, as they can
degrade diode junction characteristics and increase inputleakage currents.
Many companies are actively involved in providing
services, educational materials, and supplies to aid electronic manufacturers in establishing "static safe" work areas
where CMOS components are handled. Two such companiesare:

Pin Compatibility
On the 8-pin TC900, the external null storage capacitors
are connected to pins 1 and 8. On most other operational
amplifiers these are lett open, or are used for offset potentiometer or compensation capacitor connections .
For OP05 and OP07 operational amplifiers, the replacement of the offset null potentiometer between pins 1 and 8
by two capacitors from the pins to Vs- will convert the OP051
07 pin configuration forTC900 operation. For LM1 08 devices,
the compensation capacitor is replaced by the extemal
nulling capacitors. The LM1 01/7481709 pinouts are modified
similarly by removing any circuit connections to pin 5. On the
TC900, pin 5 is the output clamp connection. Other operational amplifiers may use this pin as an offset orcompensation
point.
The minor modifications needed to retrofit a TC900 to
existing sockets operating at reduced power supply voltages make prototyping and circuit verification straightforward.

Input Bias Current
The TC900 inputs are never disconnected from the
main internal amplifier. The null amplifier samples the input
offset voltage and corrects DC errors and drift by storing
compensating voltages on external capacitor~. However,
the sampling causes charge transfer at the Inputs. The
charge transfer represents a peak impulse current of
200 nA to 290 nA at the inputs when the internal clock
makes a transition.

Latch-Up Avoidance

Component Selection

Junction-isolated CMOS circuits inherently include a
parasitic 4-layer (p-n-p-n) structure which has characteri~­
tics similar to an SCA. Under certain circumstances, thiS
junction may be triggered into a low-impedance state, resulting in excessive supply current. To avoid this condition,
voltages greater than 0.3V beyond the supply rails should
not be applied to any pin. In general, the amplifier supplies
must be established at the same time (or before) any input
signals are applied. If this is not possible, the drive. circuits
must limit input current flow to under 0.1 rnA to avoid latchup.

The two required capacitors, CA and Cs, have optimum
values, depending on the clock or chopping frequency. For
the present internal clock, the correct value is 0.1 .IlF. To
maintain the same relationship between the chopping frequency and the nulling time constant, the capacitor values
should be scaled in proportion to the external clock, if used.
High~quality, film-type capacitors (such as Mylar) are preferred. Ceramic or other lower-grade capacitors may be
suitable in some applications. Forfast settling on initial turnon, low dielectric absorption capacitors (such as polypropylene) should be used. With ceramic capacitors, several
seconds may be required to settle to microvolt levels.

Thermoelectric Potentials
Precision DC measurements are ultimately limited by
thermoelectric potentials developed in thermocouple junctions of dissimilar metals, alloys, silicon, etc. Unless all

Pin Compatibility
The CMOS TC901 is pin compatible with other chopperstabilized amplifiers, such as the 7650, 7652 and 1052.
Amplifiers such as the 7650 require 0.1 I1F external capacitors connected to pins 1 and 8. The TC901 includes the
chopper capacitors on-chip, so external capacitors are not
required. Since pins 1, 5 and 8 of the TC901 are not
connected, the TC901 can directly replace other chopperstabilized amplifiers in existing circuits.
The TC901 pinout also matches many popular bipolar
and JFET op-amps, such as the OP-07, OP20, LM1 01,
LM1 08, 356 and 741. In many applications that operate from
±15V power supplies, the TC901 offers superior electrical
performance and is a functional pin-compatible replacement. Offset voltage correction potentiometers, compensation capacitors, and chopper-stabilization capacitors can be
removed when retrofitting existing equipment designs.
System parts count, assembly time, and system cost are
reduced, while reliability and performance are improved.

Thermocouple Errors

Avoiding Latch-Up

Heating one joint of a loop made from two different
metallic wires causes current flow. This is known as the
Seebeck effect. By breaking the loop, an open-circuit voltage (Seebeck voltage) can be measured. Junction temperature and metal type determine the magnitude. Typical values are 0.1 ~V/oC to 10 ~V/oC. Thermal-induced voltages
can be many times larger than the TC901 's offset voltage
drift. Unless unwanted thermocouple potentials can be
controlled, system performance will be less than optimum.
Unwanted thermocouple junctions are created when
leads are soldered or sockets/connectors are used. Low
thermoelectric coefficient solder can reduce errors. A 60%
Cd/40% Sn Pb solder has one-tenth the thermal voltage of
common 64% Snl36% Pb solder at a copper junction.
The number and type of dissimilar metallic junctions in
the input circuit loop should be balanced. If the junctions are
kept at the same temperature, their summation will add to
zero-canceling errors (Figure 6).
Shielding precision analog circuits from air currents especially those caused by power dissipating components
and fans - will minimize temperature gradients and minimize thermocouple-induced errors.

Junction-isolated CMOS circuits inherently contain a
parasitic p-n-p-n transistor circuit. Voltages exceeding the
supplies by 0.3V should not be applied to the device pins.
Larger voltages can turn the p-n-p-n device on, causing
excessive device power supply current and excessive power
dissipation. TC901 's power supply should be established at
the same time (or before) input signals are applied. If this is
not possible, input current should be limited to 100 ~ to
avoid triggering the p-n-p-n structure.

Static Protection
Input pins are protected against electrostatic fields.
Static handling procedures should be used with all CMOS
devices. Many companies provide services, educational
material, and supplies to aid electronic equipment manufacturers establish "static safe" CMOS component handling

TC911
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC911 CMOS auto-zeroed operational amplifier is
the first complete monolithic chopper-stabilized amplifier.
Chopper operational amplifiers like the ICL7650n652 and
LTC1052 require user-supplied, extemal offset compensation storage capacitors. External capacitors are not required with the TC911. Just as easy to use as the conventional 741 type amplifier, the TC911 significantly reduces offset voltage errors. Pinout matches the OP07/741/
7650 a-pin mini-DIP configuration.
Several system benefits arise by eliminating the external chopper capacitors: lower system parts count; reduced
assembly time and cost; greater system reliability; reduced
PC board layout effort and greater board area utilization.
Also, space savings can be significant in multiple-amplifier
designs.
Electrical specifications include 151lV maximum offset
voltage, 0.15 /lV/DC maximum offset voltage temperature
coefficient. Offset voltage error is five times lower than the
premium OP07E bipolar device. The TC911 improves offset drift performance by eight times.
Low offset voltage errors eliminate trim procedures
during manufacturing, periodic recalibrations, and reliability problems caused by damaged or misadjusted trim potentiometers.
The TC911 automatically corrects offset voltage drift
with time. Operational amplifier long-term drift is less easily
controlled and more expensive to maintain when low offset
errors are obtained by trimming thin-film resistors. The
TC911 internal circuits correct errors repetitively at a 200 Hz
rate. Long-term drift is effectively eliminated.
The TC911 operates from dual or single power supplies. Supply current is typically 350 IJ.A. Single 4.5V to 16V
supply operation is possible, making single 9V battery
operation possible. The TC7660 DC-to-DC converter can
easily supply a negative potential in dual-supply applications where only a +5V system supply is available.
Open-loop voltage gain is 115 dB minimum with a 10 kQ
load. Unity gain bandwidth is 1.5 MHz. Slew rate is 2.5 Vllls.
Common-mode rejection ratio is 116 dB. Input commonmode range extends from 2V below the positive supply to
the negative supply.
The TC911 is available in three package types: a-pin

Pin Compatibility

(Seebeck Voltage) can be measured. Junction temperature
and metal type determine the magnitude. Typical values are
0.1 IlV/oC to 10 IlVfOC. Thermal-induced voltages can be
many times largerthanthe TC911 offset voltage drift. Unless
unwanted thermocouple potentials can be controlled, system performance will be less than optimum.
Unwanted thermocouple junctions are created when
leads are soldered or sockets/connectors are used. Low
thermo-electric coefficient solder can reduce errors. A 60%
Snl36% Pb solder has 1/10 the thermal voltage of common
64% Snl36% Pb solder at a copper junction.
The number and type of dissimilar metallic junctions in
the input circuit loop should be balanced. 1ft he junctions are
kept at the same temperature, their summation will add to
zero-canceling errors (Figure 1).
Shielding precision analog circuits from air currents especially those caused by power dissipating components
and fans - will minimize temperature gradients and thermocouple-induced errors.

The CMOS TC911 is pin compatible with the GEllntersil
ICL7650 chopper-stabilized amplifier. The ICL7650 must
use extemal 0.1 IlF capacitors connected at pins 1 and 8.
With the TC911 , external offset voltage error canceling
capacitors are not required. On the TCS911 pins 1, 8 and
5 are not connected internally. The ICL7650 uses pin 5 as an
optional output clamp connection. Extemal chopper capacitors and clamp connections are not necessary with
the TC911. External circuits connected to pins 1 ,8 and 5 will
have no effect. The TC911 can be quickly evaluated in
existing ICL7650 designs. Since external capacitors are not
required, system part count, assembly time, and total system cost are reduced. Reliability is increased and PC board
layout eased by having the error storage capacitors integrated on the TC911 chip.
The TC911 pinout matches many existing op-amps:
741, LM101, LM108, OPOS-OP08, OP20, OP21, ICL7650
and ICL7652. In many applications operating from +5V
supplies the TC911 offers superior electrical performance
and can be a functional pin-compatible replacement. Offset
voltage correction potentiometers, compensation capacitors, and chopper-stabilization capacitors can be removed
when retrofitting existing equipment designs.

Avoiding Latch-Up
Junction-isolated CMOS circuits inherently contain a
parasitic p-n-p-n transistor circuit. Voltages exceeding the
supplies by 0.3V should not be applied to the device pins.
Larger voltages can turn the p-n-p-n device on, causing
excessive device power supply current and excessive power
dissipation. TC911 power supplies should be established at
the same time or before input signals are applied. If this is not
possible input current should be limited to 0.1 rnA to avoid
triggering the p-n-p-n structure.

Thermocouple Errors
Heating one joint of a loop made from two different
metallic wires causes current flow. This is known as the
Seebeck effect. By breaking the loop, an open circuit voltage

DUAL AUTO-ZEROED
OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER
TC913
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC913 is the world's first complete monolithic,
dual auto-zeroed operational amplifier. The TC913 sets a
new standard for low-power, precision dual-operational
amplifiers. Chopper-stabilized or auto-zeroed amplifiers offer
low offset voltage errors by periodically sampling offset
error, and storing correction voltages on capacitors. Previous single amplifier designs required two user-supplied,
external 0.1 ItF error storage correction capacitors - much
too large for on-chip integration. The unique TC913 architecture requires smaller capacitors, making on-chip integration possible. Microvolt offset levels are achieved and
external capacitors are not required.
The TC913 system benefits are apparent when contrasted with a TC7650 chopper amplifier circuit implementation. A single TC913 replaces two TC7650's and four
capacitors. Five components and assembly steps are
eliminated.
The TC913 pinout matches many popular dualoperational amplifiers: OP04, TLC322, LM358, and ICL7621
are typical examples. In many applications, operating from
dual 5V power supplies or single supplies, the TC913
offers superior electrical performance, and can be a
functional drop-in replacement; printed circuit board rework
is not necessary. The TC913's low offset voltage error
eliminates offset voltage trim potentiometers often needed
with bipolar and low-accuracy CMOS operational amplifiers.
The TC913 takes full advantage of Teledyne's proprietary CMOS technology. The TC913's 650 IJ.A supply current (250 IJ.A per amplifier) makes the TC913 the lowest
power, precision dual-operational amplifier available. The
250 IJ.A amplifier supply current does not compromise AC
performance. Unity gain bandwidth is 1.5 MHz and slew
rate is 2.5 V/lts.
For single- and quad-operational amplifiers, see the
TC911 and TC914 data sheets.

OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER

TC913
Theory of Operation

Avoiding Latch-Up

Each of the TC913's two op-amps actually consists of
two amplifiers. A main amplifier is always connected from
the input to the output. A separate nulling amplifier alternately nulls its own offset and then the offset of the amplifier.
Since each amplifier is continuously being nUlled, offset
voltage drift with time, temperature, and power supply
variations is greatly reduced.
All nulling circuitry is intemal and the nulling operation is
transparent to the user. Offset nulling voltages are stored on
two internal capacitors. An internal oscillator and control
logic, shared by the TC913's two amplifiers, control the
nulling process.

Junction-isolated CMOS circuits inherently contain a
parasitic p-n-p-n transistor circuit. Voltages exceeding the
supplies by 0.3V shOUld not be applied to the device pins.
Larger voltages can turn the p-n-p-n device on, causing
excessive device power supply current and power dissipation. The TC913's power supplies should be established at
the same time or before input signals are applied. If this is not
possible, input current should be limited to 0.1 mA to avoid
triggering the p-n-p-n structure.

Static Protection
Input pins are protected against electrostatic fields.
Static handling procedures should be used with all CMOS
devices. Many companies provide services, educational
material, and supplies to aid electronic equipment manufac- . .
turers to establish "static safe" CMOS component handling
:
areas. A partial company list is:

Pin Compatibility
The TC913 pinout is compatible with OP14, LM358,
MC1458, LT1013, TLC322, and similar dual op-amps. In
many circuits operating from single or ±5V supplies, the
TC913 is a drop-in replacement offering DC performance
rivaling that of the best single op-amps.
The TC913's amplifiers include a low-impedance class
AS output buffer. Some previous CMOS chopper amplifiers
used a high-impedance output stage which made open-loop
gain dependent on load resistance. The TC913's open-loop
gain is not dependent on load resistance.

QUAD AUTO-ZEROED
OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER

TC914
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC914 is the world's first complete monolithic
quad auto-zeroed operational amplifier. The TC914 sets a
new standard for low-power, precision quad operational
amplifiers. Chopper-stabilized (or auto-zeroed) amplifiers
offer low offset voltage errors by periodically sampling
offset error, and storing correction voltages on capacitors.
Previous single amplifier designs required two user-supplied, external 0.1 ~F error storage correction capacitorsmuch too large for on-chip integration. The unique TC914
architecture requires smaller capacitors, making on-chip
integration possible. Microvolt offset levels are achieved
and external capacitors are not required.
The TC914 system benefits are apparent when contrasted with a TC7650 chopper amplifier circuit implementation. A single TC914 replaces four 7650's and eight
capacitors. Eleven components and assembly steps are
eliminated.
The TC914 pinout matches many popular quad operational amplifiers: OP11, TLC274, LTC1014, LM348, and
ICL7642/41 are typical examples. In many applications,
operating from dual5V or single power supplies, the TC914
offers superior electrical performance, and can be a functional drop-in replacement; printed circuit board rework is
not necessary. The TC914's low offset voltage error eliminates offset voltage trim potentiometers often needed with
bipolar and low-accuracy CMOS operational amplifiers.
The TC914 takes full advantage of Teledyne's proprietary CMOS technology. Its 1.5 mA supply current (250 ~
per amplifier) makes the TC914 the lowest power, precision quad operational amplifier available. The 250 ~ amplifier supply current does not compromise AC performance.
Unity-gain bandwidth is 1.5 MHz and slew rate is 2.5 V/~s.
For single- and dual-operational amplifiers, see the
TC911 and TC913 data sheets.

Theory of Operation

Static Protection

Each of the TC914's four op-amps actually consists of
two amplifiers. A main amplifier is always connected from
the input to the output. A separate nulling amplifier alternately nulls its own offset and then the offset of the main
amplifier. Since each amplifier is continuously being nulled,
offset voltage drift with time, temperature and power supply
variations is greatly reduced.
All nulling circuitry is internal and the nulling operation is
transparent to the user. Offset nulling voltages are stored on
two internal capacitors. An internal oscillator and control
logic, shared by the TC914's two amplifiers, control the
nulling process.

Input pins are protected against electrostatic fields.
Static handling procedures should be used with all CMOS
devices. Many companies provide services, educational
material, and supplies to aid electronic equipment manufacturers to establish "static safe" CMOS component handling
areas. A partial company list is:

Pin Compatibility
The TC914 pinout is compatible with OP11, LM324,
LM348, LT1014, TLC274, and similar quad op-amps. In
many circuits operating from single or ±5V supplies, the
TC914 is a drop-in replacement, offering DC performance
rivaling that of the best single op-amps.
The TC914's amplifiers include a low-impedance, class
AB output buffer. Some previous CMOS chopper amplifiers
used a high-impedance output stage which made open-loop
gain dependent on load resistance. The TC914's open-loop
gain is not dependent on load resistance.

Overload Recovery
The TC914 recovers quickly from output saturation.
Typical recovery time from positive output saturation is
20 ms. Negative output saturation recovery time is typically
5ms.

Avoiding Latch-Up
Junction-isolated CMOS circuits inherently contain a
parasitic p-n-p-n transistor circuit. Voltages exceeding the
supplies by 0.3V should not be applied to the device pins.
Larger voltages can turn the p-n-p-n device on, causing
excessive device power supply current and power dissipation. The TC914's power supplies should be established at
the same time or before input signals are applied. Ifthis is not
possible, input current should be limited to 0.1 mA to avoid
triggering the p-n-p-n structure.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•
•
•

The TC915 is a high-voltage, high-performance CMOS,
chopper-stabilized operational amplifier. It can operate from
the same ±15V power supplies commonly used to power
bipolar op amps, such as the OP07 and 741. Previous
CMOS chopper-stabilized amplifiers, such as the TC7650,
were limited to operating from ±7.5V power supplies.
The TC915's maximum Vos specification is only 10 I!V,
almost a factor of 7 improvement over the industry-standard
OP07E. The maximum Vosdriftof 0.1I!V/oC is 12 times less
than the OP07E. Input bias and offset currents (both only
100 pA maximum) are factors of 20 improvements.
In addition to low initial offset errors, the nulling circuitry
ensures excellent performance over time and temperature.
Long-term drift, which results in periodic recalibration, is
effectively eliminated. The nulling circuitry continues to operate over the full temperature range, whereas laser and
"zener zap" trimming are only done at a single temperature.
The result is a significant decrease in temperature-induced
errors.

OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER

TC915
The TC915 operates from dual- or single-power supplies. Supply current is typically 1 rnA with ±15V supplies.
Single supply operation extends from +7V to +32V, and the
input common-mode range extends to Vs-. For battery operation, see the low-power TC900 data sheet.
The TC915's open-loop gain is 120 dB minimum. Unlike
the TC7650, the TC915's gain is independent of load resistance. The low-impedance output will drive a 10 kn load to
±14V. An output clamp circuit is provided to minimize overload recovery time.
The TC915 uses two amplifiers to correct offset voHage
errors. A main amplifier is always in the signal path, which
prevents switching spikes at the output. A separate nulling
amplifier aHernately corrects its own Vas error and then the
main amplifier's Vas error. Only two external capacitors are
required to store the nulling error voHages. All active nulling
circuitry, including switches and oscillators, are included onchip.
TC915 does not require complicated processing and
testing procedures associated with laser or "zener zap" Vas
trimming schemes. Simplified fabrication and high yields
combine to make the TC915 one of the lowest-priced
precision op amps available. It is available in a-pin and 14pin plastic or ceramic dual-in-line packages. Dice are available for hybrid applications.

Theory of Operation
Figure 1 shows the major elements of the TC915. There
are two amplifiers: a main (signal) amplifier and a nulling
amplifier. Both have offset-nulling capability. The main amplifier is always connected to the output. The nulling amplifier alternately samples and adjusts its own offset, then the
offset of the main amplifier.
A two-phase operation nulls the main amplifier. During
the first phase, the A pair of switches close, while the B
switches open. The nulling amp's inputs are shorted and its
output is fed back to the nulling input. Capacitor CA charges
to a voltage which will maintain the nulling amp in its nulled
state.

8-35

During the second phase, the B switches close and the
A switches open. The nulling amplifier's inputs now sample
the offset voltage of the main amplifier. The nulling amplifier
drives the main amplifier's nulling input to cancel the main
amplifier's offset Voltage. Capacitor CB stores the nulling
voltage of the main amplifier while the nulling amplifier is
being nulled on the next cycle.
The TC915 design also incorporates an additional output buffer stage. The buffer provides a low-impedance
output traditionally associated with bipolar op amps. Some
CMOS chopper-stabilized amplifiers, such as the TC7650,
have a high-output impedance which makes open-loop gain
proportional to load resistance. The TC915's open-loop gain
is not dependent on load resistance.

The TC915 Contains Nulling and Main Amplifiesr (Offset Correction Voltages Are Stored on Two External Capacitors)

Pin Compatibility
Since the TC915 operates from the same ±15V power
supplies as bipolar op amps, upgrading existing circuits is
simple. The bipolar op amp's nulling and compensation
components are removed and the TC915's nulling capacitors are added.
On the 8-pin mini-DIP, the extemal null storage capacitors are connected to pins 1 and 8. On most other operational amplifiers these are left open or used for offset
potentiometer or compensation capacitor connections.
For OP05 and OP07 operational amplifiers, replacing
the offset null potentiometer between pins 1 and 8 with two
capacitors from the pins to Vs- converts the OP05/07 pin
configuration for TC915 operation. The 741 is easily upgraded by removing the nulling potentiometer between pin
4 and pins 1 and 5, then connecting capacitors from pin 4 to
pins 1 and 8. For LM1 08 devices, the compensation capacitoris replaced by the extemal nulling capacitors. The LM1 01/
748/709 pinouts are similarly modified by removing any
circuit connections to pin 5. Pin 5 on the TC915 is the output
clamp connection. Other operational amplifiers may use this
pin as an offset or compensation point.
The minor modifications needed to retrofit a TC915 to
existing sockets make prototyping and circuit verification
straightforward.

CA and CB should be 0.1 IlF film capacitors. Mylar
capacitors are suitable.

Component Selection
The two required capacitors, CA and Cs, have optimum
values, depending on the clock or chopping frequency. For
the preset internal clock, the correct value is 0.1 1lF. To
maintain the same relationship between the chopping frequency and the nulling time constant, the capacitor values
should be scaled in proportion to the external clock, if used.
High-quality, film-type capacitors (such as Mylar) are preferred. Ceramic or other lower-grade capacitors may be
suitable in some applications. For fast settling at initial
turn-on, low dielectric absorption capacitors (such as polypropylene) should be used. With ceramic capacitors, several
seconds may be required to settle to 1 IlV.

1--*-----0 vi;

Nulling Capacitors
The offset voltage correction capacitors are connected
to CA and CB. The common capacitor connection is made to
Vs- (pin 4) on the 8-pin packages and to capacitor retum
(CRET, pin 8) on the 14-pin packages. The common connection should be made through a separate PC trace or wire, to
avoid voltage drops. Internally, Vs- is connected to CRET.

Clock Operation

Figures 4 and 5. For the clamp to be fully effective, the
impedance across the clamp output should be > 100 kn.
When the clamp is used, the clamp OFF leakage will add
to input bias current. However, clamp leakage in the OFF
state is typically only 1 pA.

The internal oscillator is set for a 1000 Hz norninal
frequency on both the 8-pin and 14-pin DI Ps. With the 14-pin
device, the 250 Hz internal frequency is available at the
INTERNAL CLOCK OUTPUT (pin 12). A 1000 Hz norninal
signal will be present at the EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT (pin
13) with INT/EXT high or open. This is the internal clock
signal before a divide-by-four operation.
The 14-pin device can be driven by an external clock.
The INT/EXJ: input (pin 14) has an internal pull-up and may
be left open for internal clock operation. If an external clock
is used, INT/EXT must be tied to Vs- (pin 7) to disable the
internal clock. The external clock signal is applied to the
external clock input.
The external clock amplitude should swing between
Vs+ and ground for power supplies up to ±6V, and between
Vs+ and Vs+ -6V for higher supply voltages. When the
external clock is generated by +5V logic, capacitive coupling to pin 13 (through a 0.1 ~F capacitor) will provide
adequate drive.
At low frequencies the external clock duty cycle is not
critical, since an internal divide-by-four gives the desired
50% switching duty cycle. The offset storage correction
capacitors are charged only when the external clock input is
high. A 50% to 80% external clock positive duty cycle is
desired for frequencies above 500 Hz to guarantee transients settle before the internal switches open.
The external clock input can also be used as a strobe
input. If a stobe signal is connected at the external clock
input, so that it is low during the time an overload signal is
applied, neither capacitor will be charged. This function can
be used to prevent input transients from overloading the
nulling circuitry. Leakage currents at the capacitor pins are
very low, minimizing offset voltage drift during strobe operation.

Input Bias Current
The TC915 inputs are never disconnected from the
main internal amplifier. The null amplifier samples the input
offset voltage and corrects DC errors and drift by storing
compensating voltages on external capacitors. However,
the sampling causes charge transfer at the inputs.
The impulse current is not usually a problem, because
the amount of charge transferred is very small. Care should
be exercised, however, when replacing high-input bias
current bipolar op amps. Conventional design practice is to
cancel bias current by matching the input impedances
(Figure 6a). The TC915 has an input bias current of only

Chopper-stabilized systems can show long overload
recovery times. If the output is driven to either supply rail,
output saturation occurs; the inputs are no longer held at a
"virtual ground." The Vas null circuit treats the differential
signal as an offset and tries to correct it by charging the
external capacitors. The nulling circuit also saturates. Once
the input signal returns to normal, the response time is
lengthened by the long recovery time of the nulling amplifier
and external capacitors.
Through the external-clamp connection, the TC915
eliminates the overload recovery problem by reducing the
feedback network gain before the output voltage reaches
either supply rail.
The output clamp circuit is shown in Figure 3, with typical
inverting and non inverting circuit connections shown in

junction may be triggered into a low-impedance state, resulting in excessive supply current. To avoid this condition,
voltages greater than 0.3V beyond the supply rails should
not be applied to any pin. In general, the amplifier supplies
must be established at the same time, or before, any input
signals are applied. If this is not possible, the drive circuits
must limit input current flow to under 0.1 rnA to avoid latchup.

Static Protection
All device pins are static-protected. However, strong
static fields and discharges should be avoided as they can
degrade diode junction characteristics and increase inputleakage currents.
Many companies are actively involved in providing
services, educational materials, and supplies to aid electronic manufacturers in establishing "static safe" work areas
where CMOS components are handled. Two such companies are:

injection current, passing through the impedance balancing
resistor, appear as a noise source. When replacing an
existing op amp with the TC915, either omit the resistor or
bypass it to ground with a ·capacitor (Figure 6b).

The TC918 is a general-purpose, low-cost CMOS
operational amplifier. By periodically sampling input offset
voltage and storing compensating voltages in external
capacitors, low offset voltage errors are possible. The
correction circuits compensate offset voltage drift with
temperature and time. Offset voltage temperature coefficient
is 0.8IlV/oC maximum; Vos is 50 IlV maximum.
The TC918 performance advantages are achieved
without the manufacturing complexity and costs incurred
with laser or "zener zap" Vos trim techniques. The TC918
offers a 0.2 Vllls slew rate and a 700 kHz unity-gain
bandwidth. Open-loop voltage gain is 100 dB.
Operating from ±5V supplies, the TC918' s power dissipation is under 10 mW. In +5V-only systems, the TC7660
DC-to-DC converter can supply the TC918's negative supply potential. The TC918 will also operate from a single
+5V supply.
For lower power dissipation and offset voltage errors,
see the TC900 and TC7650ITC7650A specifications.

Nulling Capacitors
The offset voltage correction capacitors are connected
to CA and CB. The common capacitor connection is made
to Vs- (pin 4 on 8-pin devices) and to capacitor return CRET
(pin 8 on 14-pin devices). The common connection should
be made through a separate PC trace or wire to avoid
voltage drops.
Internally, Vs- is connected to CRET.
CA and CB should be 0.1 IlF film capacitors. Mylar
capacitors are suitable.

V+

S

The external clock amplitude should swing between
Vs+ and ground for power supplies up to ±6V and between
Vs+ and Vs+ -6V for higher supply voltages.
At low frequencies, the external clock duty cycle is not
critical, since an internal divide-by-two gives the desired
50% switching duty cycle. The offset storage correction
capacitors are charged only when the external clock input
is high. A 50% to 80% external clock-positive duty cycle is
desired for frequencies above 500 Hz to guarantee transients settle before the internal switches open.
The external clock input can also be used as a strobe
input. If a strobe signal is connected at the external clock
input, so that it is low during the time an overload signal is
applied, neither capacitor will be charged. The leakage
currents at the capacitor pins are very low.

Figure 2. Nulling Capacitor Connection

If the output is driven to either supply rail, output saturation occurs. The inputs are no longer held at a "virtual
ground." The Vos null circuit treats the differential signal as
an offset and tries to correct it by charging the external
capacitors. The nulling circuit also saturates. Once the input
signal returns to normal, the response time is lengthened by
the long recovery time of the internal correction circuit and
external capacitors.
Through an external clamp connection, the TC918 eliminates the overload recovery problem by reducing the feedback network gain before the output voltage reaches either
supply rail.
Normally, the clamp pin is not connected.

i

Clock Operation
The internal oscillator is set for a 150 Hz nominal
frequency. With the 14-pin device, the 150 Hz intemal
frequency is available at the internal clock output (pin 12).
A 300 Hz nominal signal will be present at the external
clock input (pin 13), with INT/EXT high or open. This is the
internal clock signal before a divide-by-two operation.
The :!±:pin device can be driven by an external clock.
The INT/EXT input (pin 14) has an internal pull-up and may
be left open for internal clock operation. If an external clock
is used, INT/EXT must be tied to Vs- (pin 7) to disable the
internal clock. The external clock signal is applied to the
external clock input (pin 13).

The TC918's inputs are never disconnected from the
main internal amplifier. The null amplifier samples the input
offset voltage and corrects DC errors and drift by storing
compensating voltages on external capacitors. The sampling, however, causes charge transfer at the inputs. The
charge transfer represents a peak impulse current of 200 nA
to 290 nA at the inputs when the intemal clock makes a

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC7650 CMOS chopper-stabilized operational
amplifier practically removes offset voltage error terms
from system error calculations. The 51lV maximum Vos

specification. for example, represents a 15 times improvement over the industry-standard OP07E. The 50 nV/oC
offset drift specification is over 25 times lower than the
OP07E. The increased performance eliminates Vas trim
procedures, periodic potentiometer adjustment and the reliability problems caused by damaged trimmers.
The TC7650 performance advantages are achieved
without the additional manufacturing complexity and cost
incurred with laser or "zener zap" Vas trim techniques. The
TC7650 is one of the lowest cost precision-operational
amplifiers available.
The TC7650 nulling scheme corrects both DC Vas
errors and Vas drift errors with temperature. A nulling
amplifieraltemately corrects its own Vas errors and the main . .
amplifier Vos error. Offset nulling voltages are stored on two
:
user-supplied external capacitors. The capacitors connect
to the intemal amplifier Vas null points. The main amplifier
input signal is never switched. Switching spikes are not
present at the TC7650 output. The null scheme keeps Vas
errors low throughout the operating temperature range.
Laser and "zener zap" trimming can correct for Vas at only
one temperature.

The nulling circuit oscillator and control circuits are
integrated on-chip. Only two external Vas error storage
capacitors are required. The TC7650 operates as a conventional operational amplifier with improved input specifications. The low Vas and Vas drift errors make the TC7650
ideal for thermocouple, thermistor, and strain-gauge applications. Low DC errors and high open-loop gain make the
TC7650 an excellent preamplifier for precision analog-todigital converters, such as the TC7135 and TC800.
The 14-pin dual-in-line package (DIP) has an external
oscillator input to drive the nulling circuitry for optimum noise
performance. Both the 8- and 14-pin DIPs have an output
voltage clamp circuit to minimize overload recovery time.

CHOPPER-STABILIZED
OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER
TC7650
Theory of Operation
Figure 1 shows the major elements of the TC7650.
There are two amplifiers (the main amplifier and the nulling
amplifier), and both .have offset-null capability. The main
amplifier is connected full-time from the input to the output.
The nulling amplifier, under the control of the chopping
frequency oscillator and clock circuit, alternately nulls itself
and the main amplifier. Two external capacitors provide the
required storage of the nulling potentials and the necessary
nulling-loop time constants. The nulling arrangement operates over the full common-mode and power-supply ranges,
and is also independent of the output level, thus giving
exceptionally high CMRR, PSRR, and AVOL.
Careful balancing ofthe input switches minimizes chopper frequency charge injection atthe input terminals, and the
feed-forward-type injection into the compensation capacitor
that can cause output spikes in this type circuit.
Thecircuit's offset voltage compensation is easily shown.
With the nulling inputs shorted, a voltage almost identical to
the nulling amplifier offset voltage is stored on CA. The
effective offset voltage at the null amplifier input is:
1

VOSE = AN + 1

(1 )

VOSN

Afterthe nulling amplifier is zeroed, the main amplifier is
zeroed; the A switches open and B switches close.
The output voltage equation is:

Substituting (1)

--7

(2) and assuming AN» 1:

Vo = AM AN [ (V+-V-) + VOSM: VOSN ]
N

(3)

As desired, the device offset voltages are reduced by
the high open-loop gain of the nulling amplifier.

Output Stage/Load Driving
The output circuit is a high-impedance stage (approximately 18 kn). With loads less than this, the chopper
amplifier behaves in some ways like a transconductance
amplifier whose open-loop gain is proportional to load resistance. For example, the open-loop gain will be 17 dB lower
with a 1 knloadthanwitha 10 knload.lftheamplifierisused
strictly for DC, the lower gain is of little consequence, since
the DC gain is typically greater than 120 dB, even with a 1 kn
load. In wideband applications, the best frequency response
will be achieved with a load resistor of 10 kn or higher. This
results in a smooth 6 dB/octave response from 0.1 Hz to 2
MHz, with phase shifts of less than 10° in the transition
region, where the main amplifier takes over from the null
amplifier. The clock frequency sets the transition region.

Intermodulatiori
Previous chopper-stabilized amplifiers have suffered
from intermodulation effects between the chopperfrequency
and input signals. These arise because the finite AC gain of
the amplifier results in a small AC signal at the input. This is
seen by the zeroing circuit as an error signal, which is
chopped and fed back, thus injecting sum and difference
frequencies, and causing disturbances to the gain and
phase versus frequency characteristics near the chopping
frequency. These effects are substantially reduced in the
TC7650 by feeding the nulling circuit with a dynamic current
corresponding to the compensation capacitor current in
such a way as to cancel that portion of the input signal due
to a finite AC gain. The intermodulation and gain/phase
disturbances are held to very low values, and can generally
be ignored.

The external clock input can also be used as a strobe
input. If a strobe signal is connected at the external clock
input so that it is low during the time an overload signal is
applied, neither capacitor will be charged. The leakage
currents at the capacitors pins are very low. At 25°C a typical
TC7650 will drift less than 10 J.l.V/sec.

Nulling Capacitor Connection

Nulling Capacitor Connection
The offset voltage correction capacitors are connected
to CA and CB. The common capacitor connection is made to
Vs- (pin 4) on the 8-pin packages and to capacitor retum
(CR, pin 8) on the 14-pin packages. The common connection
should be made through either a separate PC trace or wire,
to avoid voltage drops. The capacitors outside fOil, if possible, should be connected to CR or Vs-.

Clock Operation

Chopper-stabilized systems can show long recovery
times from overloads. If the output is driven to either supply
rail, output saturation occurs. The inputs are no longer held
at a "virtual ground." The Vos null circuit treats the differential signal as an offset and tries to correct it by charging the
external capacitors. The nulling circuit also saturates. Once
the input signal retums to normal, the response time is
lengthened by the long recovery time of the nulling amplifier
and external capacitors.
Through an extemal clamp connection, the TC7650
eliminates the overload recovery problem by reducing the
feedback network gain before the output voltage reaches
either supply rail.

~_~I

The intemal oscillator is set for a 200 Hz nominal
chopping frequency on both the 8-and 14-pin DIPs. With the
14-pin DIP TC7650, the 200 Hz intemal chopping frequency
is available at the intemal clock output (pin 12). A 400 Hz
nominal signal will be present at the external clock input pin
(pin 13) with INT/EXT high or open. This is the internal clock
signal before a divide-by-two operation.
The 14-pin DIP device can be driven by an extemal
clock. The INT/EXT input (pin 14) has an internal pull-up and
may be left open for internal clock operation. If an extemal
clock is used, INT/EXT must be tied to Vs- (pin 7) to disable
the intemal clock. The external clock signal is applied to the
external clock input (pin 13).
The external clock amplitude should swing between Vs+
and ground for power supplies up to ±6V and between V+
and V+ --6V for higher supply voltages.
At low frequencies the external clock duty cycle is not
critical, since an internal divide-by-two gives the desired
50% switching duty cycle. The offset storage correction
capacitors are charged only when the extemal clock input is
high. A 50% to 80% external clock positive duty cycle is
desired for frequencies above 500 Hz to guarantee transients settle before the intemal switches open.

The output clamp circuit is shown in Figure 3, with typical

Figures 4 and 5. Output voltage versus clamp circuit current
characteristics are shown in the typical operating curves.
For the clamp to be fully effective, the impedance across the
clamp output should be greater than 100 kilo

Static Protection
All device pins are static-protected. Strong static fields
and discharges should be avoided, however, as they can
degrade diode junction characteristics and increase inputleakage currents.
Many companies are actively involved in providing
services, educational material, and supplies to aid electronic manufacturers in establishing "static safe" work areas where CMOS components are handled. A partial company listing is:

Junction-isolated CMOS circuits inherently include a
parasitic 4-layer (p-n-p-n) structure which has characteristics similar to an SCA. Under certain circumstances this
junction may be triggered into a low-impedance state, resulting in excessive supply current. To avoid this condition, no
voltage greater than 0.3V beyond the supply rails should be
applied to any pin. In general, the amplifier supplies must be
established either at the same time or before any input
signals are applied. If this is not possible, the drive circuits
must limit input current flow to under 0.1 rnA to avoid latchup.

Thermoelectric Potentials
Precision DC measurements are ultimately limited by
thermoelectric potentials developed in thermocouple junctions of dissimilar metals, alloys, silicon, etc. Unless all
junctions are at the same temperature, thermoelectric voltages, typically around 0.1I1V/oC, but uptotens of I1VfOC for
some materials, will be generated. In order to realize the
benefits extremely-low offset voltages provide, it is essential
to take special precautions to avoid temperature gradients.
All components should be enclosed to eliminate air movement, especially those caused by power-dissipating elements in the system. Low thermoelectric-coefficient connections should be used where possible and power supply
voltages and power dissipation should be kept to a minimum. High-impedance loads are preferable, and separation
from surrounding heat-dissipating elements is advised.

Pin Compatibility
On the 8-pin mini-DI P TC7650, the external null storage
capacitors are connected to pins 1 and 8. On most other
operational amplifiers these are left open or are used for
offset potentiometer or compensation capacitor connections.
For OP05 and OP07 operational amplifiers, the replacement of the offset null potentiometer between pins 1 and 8
by two capacitors from the pins to V s- will convert the OP05/
07 pin configurations for TC7650 operation. For LM108
devices, the compensation capacitor is replaced by the
external nulling capacitors. The LM1 01/7481709 pinouts are
modified similarly by removing any circuit connections to pin
5. On the TC7650, pin 5 is the output clamp connection.
Other operational amplifiers may use this pin as an offst or
compensation point.
The minor modifications needed to retrofit a TC7650
into existing sockets operating at reduced power supply
voltages make prototyping and circuit verification straightforward.

Input Guarding
High impedance, low leakage CMOS inputs allow the
TC7650to make measurements of high-impedance sources.
Stray leakage paths can increase input currents and decrease input resistance unless inputs are guarded. A guard
is a conductive PC trace surrounding the input terminals.
The ring connects to a low-impedance point at the same
potential as the inputs. Stray leakages are absorbed by the
low-impedance ring. The equal potential between ring and
inputs prevents input leakage currents. Typical guard connections are shown in Figure 6.
The 14-pin DIP configuration has been specifically
designed to ease input guarding. The pins adjacent to the
inputs are unused.
In applications requiring low leakage currents, boards
should be cleaned thoroughly and blown dry after soldering.
Protective coatings will prevent future board contamination.

Component Selection

R2

The two required capacitors, CA and CB, have optimum
values, depending on the clock or chopping frequency. For
the preset internal clock, the correct value is 0.1 j.lF. To
maintain the same relationship between the chopping frequency and the nulling time constant, the capacitor values
should be scaled in proportion to the external clock, if used.
High-quality film-type capacitors (such as Mylar) are preferred; ceramic or other lower-grade capacitors may be
suitable in some applications. For fast settling on initial turnon, low dielectric absorption capacitors (such as polypropylene) should be used. With ceramic capacitors, several
seconds may be required to settle to 1 j.lV.

The TC7652 low noise, chopper-stabilized operational
amplifier improves noise performance and provides a wider
common-mode input voltage range. It offers low-input offset voltage and timeltemperature stability, with reduced
bandwidth and slew rate. CMOS circuitry eliminates most
chopping spikes intermodulation effects and overrange
lockup problems.
The TC7652 compares inverting and noninverting input
voltages in an amplifier nulled by alternate clock phases.
Two external capacitors store the correcting potentials on
two amplifier-nulling inputs. All control circuitry, including the
clock oscillator, is self-contained. The TC7652 is intemallycompensated for unity-gain operation. If required. the 14-pin
version can use an external clock.

the TC7652. The main and nulling amplifiers have offsetnull capability. The main amp is continuously connected

AVOL.

The input switches are closely matched to reduce
chopper frequency charge injection at the input terminals.
The main cause of output spikes in this type circuit (feedforward-type injection into the compensation capacitor) is
minimized.
Other chopper-stabilized amplifiers experience intermodulation effects between chopper frequency and input
signals. The finite AC gain of the amplifier requires a small
AC signal at the input. The zeroing circuit sees this as an
error signal, which it chops and feeds back. The circuit also
injects sum-and-difference frequencies and causes gain
and phaselfrequency characteristics disturbances near the
chopping frequency.
The TC7652 reduces these intermodulation effects by
feeding the nulling circuit a dynamic current that corresponds to the compensation capacitor current and cancels
the portion of the input signal from finite AC gain. In this way,
the major cause of TC7652 error is minimized. The gain and
phase disturbances are held to such low values thatthey can
usually be ignored.

LOW NOISE, CHOPPER-STABILIZED
OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER
TC7652
If the TC7652's output saturates, error voltages on the
external capacitors will slow overload recovery. This condition can be avoided if a strobe signal is available. The strobe
signal is applied to EXT ClK IN and the overload signal is
applied to the amplifier while the strobe is low. In this case,
neither capacitor will be charged. The low leakage of the
capacitor pins allow long measurements to be made with
negligible errors (typical capaCitor drift is 10 ~V/sec).

Capacitor Connection
Connect the null-storage capacitors to the CA and CB
pins with a common connection to the CRET pin (14-pin
TC7652 or 8-pin TC7652Z) or to Vs- (8-pin TC7652). When
connecting to Vs-, avoid injecting load current IR drops into
the capacitive circuitry by making this connection directly via
a separate wire or PC trace.

Output Clamp

APPLICATION NOTES
Component Selection

In chopper-stabilized amplifiers, the output clamp pin
reduces overload recovery time. When a connection is
madetothe inverting input pin (summing junction), a current
path is created between that point and the output pin, just
before the device output saturates. This prevents uncontroiled differential input voltages and charge buildup on
correction-storage capacitors. Output swing is reduced.

CA and CB (external capacitors) should be in the 0.1 ~F
to 1 ~F range. For minimum clock ripple nOise, use a 1 ~F
capacitor in broad bandwidth circuits. For limited bandwidth
applications where clock ripple is filtered out, use a 0.1 ~F
capacitor for slightly lower offset voltage. High-quality filmtype capacitors (polyester or polypropylene) are recommended, although a lower grade (ceramic) may work in some
applications. For quickest settling after initialturn-<>n, use low
dielectric absorption capacitors (e.g., polypropylene). With
ceramic capacitors, settling to 1 ~V takes several seconds.

Clock
The TC7652 has a 550 kHz internal oscillator, which is
divided by two before clocking the input chopper switches.
The 275 Hz chopping frequency is available at INT ClK OUT
(pin 12) on 14-pin devices. In normal operation, INT/EXT
(pin 14), which has an internal pull-up, can be left open.
An external clock can also be used. To disable the
internal clock and use an external one, the INT/EXT pin rnust
be tied to Vs-. The external clock signal is then applied to
the EXT ClK IN input (pin 13). An internal divide-by-two
provides a 50% switching duty cycle. The capacitors are
only charged when EXT ClK IN is high, so a 50% to 80%
positive duty cycle is recommended for higher clock frequencies. The external clock can swing between Vs+ and
Vs-, with the logic threshold about 2.5V below Vs+.
The output of the internal oscillator, before the divide-bytwo circuit, is available at EXT ClK IN when INT/EXT is high
or unconnected. This output can serve as the clock input for
a second TC7652 (operating in a master/slave mode), so that
both op amps will clock at the same frequency. This prevents
clock intermodulation effects when two TC7652's are used in
a differential amplifier configuration.

Static Protection Although input diodes static protect all
device pins, avoid strong static fields and discharges that
can cause degraded diode junction characteristics and
produce increased input-leakage currents.

LatCh-Up
Junction-isolated CMOS circuits have a 4-layer (p-np-n) structure similar to an SCA. Sometimes this junction
can be triggered into a low-impedance state and produce
excessive supply current. Therefore, avoid applying voltage
greater than 0.3V beyond the supply rails to any pin. Establish the amplifier supplies at the same time or before any
input signals are applied. If this is not possible, drive circuits
must limit input current flow to under 1 rnA to avoid latch-up,
even under fault conditions.

Output Stage/Load Driving
The output circuit is high impedance (about 18 kW).
With lesser loads, the chopper amplifier behaves somewhat
like a transconductance amplifier with an open-loop gain
proportional to load resistance. (For example, the open-loop
gain is 17 dB lower with a 1 kW load than with a 10 kW load.)
lithe amp is used only for DC, the DC gain is typically greater
than 120 dB (even with a 1 kW load), and this lower gain is
inconsequential. Forwideband, the bestfrequency response
occurs with a load resistor of at least 10 kW. This produces
a 6 dB/octave response from 0.1 Hz to 2 MHz, with phase
shifts of less than 2 degrees in the transition region, where
the main amplifier takes over from the null amplifier.

•

The TC9420 and TC9421 are high-voltage, high·
performance, CMOS chopper-stabilized operational amplifiers. They can operate from the same ±15V power sup·
plies as commonly used to power bipolar op-amps, such as
the OP07 and OP741. Previous CMOS chopper amplifiers,
such as the 7650, were limited to operating from ±7.5V
supplies.
Maximum Vos for the TC94201TC9421 is only 51lV,
almost a factor of 14 improvement over the industry-stan·
dard OP07E. The maximum Vos drift of O.lIlVrC is 12
times less than the OP07E. Input bias and offset currents,
both only 30 pA maximum, are factors of 60 improvements.

In addition to low initial offset errors, the nulling circuitry
ensures excellent performance over time and temperature.
Long-term drift, which results in periodic recalibration, is
effectively eliminated. The nulling circuitry continues to operate overthe full temperature range, whereas laser and "zener
zap" trimming are only done at a single temperature. The
result is a significant decrease in temperature-induced errors.
The TC9420rrC9421 operate from dual or single power
supplies. Supply current is typically 1 mA with ±15V supplies.
Single supply operation extends from +7V to +32V, and the
input common-mode range extends to Vs-. For battery operation, see the low-power TC900 data sheet.
The TC9420rrC9421 open-loop gain is 120 dB minimum. Unlike the 7650, the TC9420rrC9421 gain is independent of load resistance. The low impedance output will
drive a 10 kn load to ±14V. An output clamp circuit is
provided to minimize overload recovery time.
The TC9420rrC9421 use two amplifiers to correct offset voltage errors. A main amplifier is always in the signal
path, which prevents switching spikes at the output. A
separate nulling amplifier alternately corrects its own Vas
error. Only two external capacitors are required to store the
nulling error voltages. All active nulling circuitry, including
switches and oscillator, are included on the chip.
The TC9420rrC9421 are pin compatible with Maxim's
MAX 420/421.

TC9420
TC9421
Theory of Operation
Figure 1 shows the major elements of the TC9420/
TC9421. There are two amplifiers: the main (signal) amplifier and the nulling amplifier. Both have offset nulling capability. The main amplifier is always connected to the output.
The nulling amplifier alternately samples and adjusts its own
offset and then the offset of the main amplifier.
A two-phase operation nulls the main amplifier. During
the first phase, the A pair of switches close, while the B
switches open. Then nulling amp's inputs are shorted and its
output is fed back to the nulling input. Capacitor CA charges
to a voltage which will maintain the nulling amp in ITS nulled
state.
During the second phase, the B SWITches close and the
A switches open. The nulling amp's inputs now sample the
offset voltage of the main amp. The nulling amp drives the
main amp's nulling input to cancel the main amplifier's offset
voltage. CapacITor CB stores the nulling voltage of the main
amplifier while the nulling amp is being nulled on the next
cycle.
The TC9420/TC9421 design also incorporates an additional output buffer stage. The buffer provides a low impedance output traditionally associated with bipolar op amps.
Some CMOS chopper-stabilized amplifiers, such as the
7650, have a high output impedance which makes open-loop
gain proportional to load resistance. The TC94201TC9421
open-loop gain is not dependent on load resistance.

Pin Compatibility
Since the TC9420/9421 operate from the same ±15V
power supplies as bipolar op amps, upgrading existing

circuits is simple. The bipolar op amp's nulling and compensation components are removed, and the TC9420/TC9421
nulling capacITors are added.
On the 8-pin mini-DIP (TC9420), the external null storage capacitors are connected to pins 1 and 8. On most other
op amps they are left open or used for offset potentiometer
or compensation capacITor connections.
For OP05 and OP07 operational amplifiers, replacing
the offset null pot between pins 1 and 8 with two capacitors
from the pins to CRET will convert the OP05/07 pin configuration for TC9420 operation. The 741 is easily upgraded by removing the nulling pot between pin 4 and pins
1 and 5, then connecting capacitors from pin 4 to pins 1
and 8. For LM108 devices, the compensation capacitor is
replaced by the external nulling capacitors. The LM101/
7481709 pinouts are modified similarly by also removing
any cirCUIT connections to pin 5.
The minor modifications needed to retrofit a TC9420
into existing sockets make prototyping and cirCUIT verification straightforward.

Nulling Capacitors
The offset voltage correction capacitors are connected
to CA and CB. The common capacitor connection is made to
CRET (pin 5) on the 8-pin packages and to capacitor return
(CRET, pin 8) on the 14-pin packages. The common connection should be made through either a separate pc trace
or wire to avoid voltage drops.
Internally, Vs- is connected to CRET.
CA and CB should be 0.1 I1F film capacitors. Mylar
capacitors are suitable.

clock is generated by +5V logic, capacitive coupling to pin 13
(through a 0.1 j.lF capacitor) will provide adequate drive.
At low frequencies, the external clock duty cycle is not
critical, since an internal + 4 gives the desired 50% switching
duty cycle. The offset storage correction capacitors are
charged only when the external clock input is high. A 50% to
80% external clock positive duty cycle is desired forfrequencies above 500 Hz to guarantee transients settle before the
internal switches open.
The external clock input can also be used as a strobe
input. If a strobe signal is connected at the external clock
input so that it is low during the time an overload signal is
applied, neither capacitor will be charged. This function can
be used to prevent input transients from overloading the
nulling circuitry. Leakage currents at the capacitor pins are
very low, so offset voltage drift during strobe operation is
minimized.

Output Clamp

Figure 2. Nulling Capacitor Connection

Chopper-stabilized systems can show long recovery
times from overloads. If the output is driven to either supply
rail, output saturation occurs. The inputs are no longer held
at a "virtual ground." The Vas null circuit treats the differential signal as an offset and tries to correct it by charging the
external capacitors. The nulling circuit also saturates. Once
the input signal returns to normal, response time is lengthened by the long recovery time of the nulling amplifier and
external capacitors.
Through an external clamp connection, the TC9421
eliminates the overload recovery problem by reducing the
feedback network gain before the output voltage reaches
either supply rail.
The output clamp circuit is shown in Figure 3, with
typical inverting and noninverting circuit connections shown
in Figures 4 and 5. For the clamp to be fully effective, the
impedance across the clamp output should be >100 kil.
When the clamp is used, the clamp "OFF" leakage will
add to input bias current. However, clamp leakage in the
"OFF" state is typically only 1 pA.

Component Selection
The two required capacitors, CA and CB, have optimum
values, depending on the clock or chopping frequency. For
the preset internal clock, the correct value is 0.1 j.lF. To
maintain the same relationship between the chopping
frequency and nulling time constant, the capacitor values
should be scaled in proportion to the external clock, if used.
High-quality film-type capacitors (such as Mylar) are preferred. Ceramic or other lower-grade capacitors may be
suitable in some applications. Forfast settling on initial turnon, low dielectric absorption capacitors (such as polypropylene) should be used. With ceramic capacitors, several
seconds may be required to settle to 1 j.lV.

Clock Operation
The internal oscillator is set for a 1000 Hz nominal
frequency on both the 8-pin and 14-pin 01 Ps. With the 14-pin
01 P (TC9421), the 250-Hz internal frequency is available at
the internal clock output (pin 12). A 1000 Hz nominal signal
will be present at the external clock input (pin 13) with INT/
EXT high or open. This is the internal clock signal before a
+4 operation.
The 14-pin device can be driven by an external clock.
The INT/EXT input (pin 14) has an internal pull-up and may
be left open for internal clock operation. If an external clock
is used, INT/EXT must be tied to Vs- (pin 7) to disable the
internal clock. The external clock signal is applied to the
external clock input (pin 13).
The external clock amplitude should swing between Vs+
and ground for power supplies up to ±6V, and between Vs+
and Vs+ -f3V for higher supply voltages. When the external

Input Bias Current
The TC9420ITC9421 are never disconnected from the
main internal amplifier. The null amplifier samples the input
offset voltage and corrects DC errors and drift by storing
compensating voltages on external capacitors. The sampling, however, causes charge transfer at the inputs.
The impulse current is not usually a problem because
the amount of charge transferred is very small. Care should
be exercised, however, when replacing high-input bias
current bipolar op amps. Conventional design practice is to
cancel bias current by matching the input impedances
(Figure 6a). The TC9420ITC9421 have input bias current of

necessary. In fact, including the resistor makes the charge
injection current, passing through the impedance-balancing
resistor, appear as a noise source. When replacing an
existing op amp with the TC94201TC9421, omit the resistor
or bypass it to ground with a capacitor (Figure 6b).

Junction-isolated' CMOS circuits inherently include a
parasitic 4-layer (p-n-p-n) structure which has characteristics similar to an SCA. Under certain circumstances, this
junction may be triggered into a low-impedance state, resulting in excessive supply current. To avoid this condition,
voltages greater than 0.3V beyond the supply rails should
not be applied to any pin. In general, the amplifier supplies

signals are applied. If this is not possible, the drive circuits
must limit input current flow to under 0.1 rnA to avoid latchup.

All device pins are static-protected. Strong static fields
and discharges should be avoided, however, as they can
degrade diode junction characteristics and increase inputleakage currents.
Many companies are actively involved in providing
services, eductional materials. and supplies to aid electronic
manufacturers in establishing "static safe" work areas where
CMOS components are handled. A partial company listing

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•
•

The 1321 is a bipolar input operational amplifier that
combines high speed AC performance (35V/J.lS slew rate,
100 MHz GBWP) with superior DC characteristics (300 Mn
input impedance, ±5 nA input bias current, 100 dB gain).
This combination of features makes it ideal for video and
pulse amplifiers, fast integrators, high-Q active filters, and
high-speed current-to-voltage converters.
This device is internally compensated for stable operation in circuits operating at closed loop gains of 5 or above_
For operation at lower closed loop gains, an external compensation capacitor is required from Pin 8 to ground (or the
alternate stabilizing scheme shown in Figure 1 may be

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•
•
•
•
•

The 1322 is a high-speed, fast-settling operational
amplifier designed for a wide variety of high-speed signal
processing tasks. Its fast, accurate settling performance
(200 ns to 0.1% accuracy for a 10V step) and good DC
specifications (84 dB open loop gain, 10 mV offset voltage)
make the 1322 eminently suitable for high speed 8- and 10bit data conversion applications. In addition, its high slew
rate (120V/~) serves it well in high-speed pulse circuits,
signal generators, or other circuits where full output swings
at signal frequencies as high as 1.6 MHz are required.
This device is internally compensated for stable operation in circuits operating at closed loop gains of 3 or above.
For operation at lower closed loop gains, an external compensation capacitor is required from Pin 8 to ground (or the
alternate stabilizing scheme shown in Figure 1 may be
used).
The standard 1322 is housed in a small outline, metal
TO-99 case and is specified for ooe to +75°C operation.

The 1332 bipolar amplifier provides solutions to problems not solved with the typical 741. Specifications are
optimized to provide such capabilities as low drift, high
output voltage swing and high speed.
This true differential operational amplifier is matched
pin-for-pin with the standard 741 (including 10 Kn optional
trim-pot connection).
The 1332's smooth 6 dB/octave roll off provides stable
operation at all values of gain, even when connected as a

OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER

1332
Single Supply Operation

The 1332, operating with a ±40V power supply, can
drive ±35V into 2.7 kn at 25 kHz (Figures 1 & 2). Under
maximum load conditions, the output can be short circuited
to common without danger, as the outpu1 is limited by a chip
temperature sensing circuit.
To decrease bandwidth, capacitance may be added
between Pin 8 and common. The effect of this capacitance
is shown in Figure 3.

Figure 4 shows a 1332 operating as an inverter from a
single supply. This will allow a 1332 to operate from a 48V
aircraft or vessel power.

Applications Information
The 1346 is one of the lowest input bias current monolithic operational amplifiers available. When used in applications requiring maximum performance, precautions must
be taken against unwanted noise and leakage current. To
minimize leakage currents a teflon socket is recommended.

Bypass capacitors should be as near as possible to the unit
and the unit should be as near as possible to the signal
source. The dielectric isolation process and JFET input
design protect the 1346 against input signal transients
beyond the level of the supplies as well as large differential
signals equal to the differential supply voltage without

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•
•
•
•

The 1430 is a high speed, precision, FET input hybrid op
amp that features fast settling time, low bias current, high
slew rate, wide bandwidth, and good phase margin. Guaranteed settling time of 200nsec (10V step to 0.01%) and a
design that is tailored for inverting applications make the
1430 an ideal output amplifier for fast 12 bit 01A converters
and other applications such as sample-hold amplifiers and
radar pulse amplifiers.
The 1430 was carefully designed so that output settling
time would not vary appreciably with closed loop gain
(Figure 1). This is particularly important for currentto voltage
converter applications as with high speed current-output
OACs (see Figure 2). The 1430 requires only a feedback
capacitor for stability at closed-loop gains of unity and
above.
The 1430 is packaged in a 14-pin metal platform package. Both the standard 1430 and the High Reliability (HR)
1430 are specified to operate over the -55°C to +125°C
temperature range.

Figure 3. The Composition of Settling Time

Defining Settling Time

and "ring" as it settles toward the final value. Settling time
includes not only the slew rate but also that portion of the
ringing time in which the peaks exceed the settling time error
band.
The error band is generally expressed as a percentage of the op-amps full scale output (i.e. 0.01 % or 1 mV for
a 10V amplifier). When observing settling time on an oscilloscope the amplifier may appear to have settled because
the ringing has ceased but the observed value is outside the
error band for a few seconds until it drifts within the error
band. This "long tail" phenomenon is often a source of error.
The long tail makes it virtually impossible to calculate settling
time by using slew rate, and ringing characteristics as the
sole factors. Also, knowing the settling time to a given
accuracy (i.e. 0.1 %) is not helpful in extrapolating the settling
time to a higher accuracy, such as 0.01 % and vice versa.
If settling time cannot be extrapolated, calculated,
guessed or ignored, it must be measured. This can be
difficult and misleading if the proper procedures are not
followed precisely. (Figure 4 illustrates the 1430's settling
characteristics using the test circuit shown in Figure 5A).

Settling time is the important specification when handling fast (sub-microsecond rise time), precision (0.1% or
better amplitude accuracy) pulses. Settling time is the total
time required, after the application of an input step (voltage
or current), for a circuit's output to reach and stay within an
error band specified in relation to the output's final value (see
Figure 3).
Settling time cannot be predicted from bandwidth or
slew rate. A step input to the amplifier will cause the output
to slew at its maximum rate toward the final value. When this
value is reached the output will usually overshoot slightly

Measuring Settling Time
It is not possible to obtain 0.1 % or 0.01 % accurate
measurements directly from an oscilloscope looking at the
output waveform. Measuring a 1OV signal, at high sensitivity
for proper resolution, will overdrive the scope's input amplifier such that it's own recovery time will be much longer than
the settling time being measured. Measuring settling time to
0.01 % requires a clipping amplifier to prevent overloading
the oscilloscope's input (Figure 58).

Figure 5A. Test Circuit

The test circuit (Figure 5A) is an excellent method for
fast-settling time measurements. In this circuit Rin and Rfare
matched to Rin' and Rt'. When the Amplifier Under Test
(AUT) settles to ±O.01 % of a 20V step (±2 mV) the settling
point settles to ±1 mV. A FET follower with less than 1 pF
input capacitance (3N128) is used in the clipper amp to
buffer the settling point. The two schottky diodes acting as
limiters on the settling point do not store a charge nor present
much capacitive loading. Therefore, the lag due to capacitance, ~3 pF, in combination with Rf' = Ri' = 1 kn can be as
low as 1 .5 ns. Be sure to use an ideal square wave source
for testing, since a square wave with significant ripple can
unfairly cause an amplifier to look bad.
This method allows you to look directly at the true AUT
output, yet avoids most drawbacks due to the output signal
subtraction from the input signal.

Why not connect the 3N 128 buffer directly to the summing point? Because of feedback capacitance, Ct, and the
(A.U.T.) input capacitance, Cin. Many fast-settling amplifiers give best results when some finite amount of feedback
capacitance is used. The effect of changing Cf can be seen
at the settling point but not at the summing point. In addition,
some good amplifiers have significant input capacitance
dueto "Miilercapacitance" orfeedforward capacitors. In this
case, it is possible to see the true settling only at the settling
point. You can test at the summing point if the result is the
same as at the settling point; but if there is a difference
measure at the settling point.

An amplifier is of little use in precision work if it's output
for a 400ns pulse rises in 10ns, overshoots 20%, rings for
1OOns, and, due to a tail does not arrive at and remain within
0.01% of the final value for another 600ns. A 1430 will be
within 0.01 % of final value within 200ns.
To operate the 14300r1430-'HR from +85°Cto+125°C,
a 20°C per watt heat sink must be attached. A suggested
device is the Thermalloy Model 6007A· modified by removing the two fins at each end and adding an aluminum 'hold

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•
•
•
•

The 1435 is an ultra-fast, differential-input operational
amplifier designed for precision amplification of wideband,
complex waveforms with frequency components from DC
to 100 MHz. Such performance is made possible by a
unique design featuring high open-loop gain, flat frequency
response beyond 10kHz, and smooth 6 dB/octave rolloff to
greater than 100 MHz.
Applications of the 1435 are based on using the precision capabilities of a differential-input op amp at higher
frequencies than previously possible. These applications
include video mixers with 20 dB to 40 dB gain, fully-differential-input, and 0.1 % gain stability; peak detectors (and
sample/holds) that can capture 10V, 50 ns pulses to 1%
accuracy and 70 ns pulses to 0.01% accuracy; video AID
and D/A converters; submicrosecond, precision analog
comparators.
The standard 1435 is specified for QOC to +70°C operation. For high-reliability military/aerospace applications, the
1435 High Reliability (HR) version is specified for-55°C to
+125°C operation.

1435
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Basic Connections and Wiring Techniques
verter, integrator, etc. However, it must be used at a noise
gain of at least 2 (noise gain = 1 + RF/RIN). For example, it
can operate as a gain-of -one inverter (Figure 1), or differential amplifier, but as a non-inverting amplifier, it must have a
gain of at least 2.
Capacitor C1 (shown in Figure 1), is a 2 pF compensation capacitor which must be used to maintain stable operation when noise gain is less than 10.
Resistor R3 connected to the (+) input compensates for
the (-) input bias current. It should be equal to RIN and RF in
parallel. The 1 kil, Eos adjust potentiometer is optional. The
1 IiF bypass capacitor (C2) on pin 1 may be necessary to
prevent oscillation of the output stage when driving capacitive loads.
When operating at the low impedances required by the
1435, care should be taken to include the load provided.by
the feedback resistor when calculating the total load on
amplifier output.

A schematic and suggested physical layout of basic
connections for the 1435 are shown in Figure 1. Illustrated
are wiring techniques recommended to obtain specified high
frequencyltime response from the 1435. The circuit should
be built on a ground plane with minimum length, point-topoint connections, wired directly to the pins of the 1435. If a
socket is necessary, it should be made of Teflon (such as the
Augat model 114-AG-2A). Remember, 1000n and 10 pF
provide a time constant of 10 ns.
The 1435 has a Class A output stage. Pin 2 isa follower
output, while pin 13 is a current sink used to provide
quiescent bias for the follower, as well as sinking load
current for negative output swings. For most applications,
pins 2 and 13 (the output circuit) are connected together.

Stability and Compensation
The 1435 operates in any conventional op-amp circuits,
including the non inverting amplifier, current-to-voltage con-

The 1435 is an optimum choice for a current-to-voltage
converter because of its excellent Eos and los temperature
coefficients (TC). When used with a current output DAC the
required noise gain of ~ is provided by using the output
impedance of the DAC (see Figure 4). The initial input bias
current of the 1435 is compensated by the addition of Rc,
which is equal to the parallel combination of the feedback
resistor and the input (DAC output) impedance. The typical
los TC of 2 nA/oC times the feedback resistor (2.5 kn)
produces 5 J!V1°C of output drift over temperature, and the
typical Eos TC of 5 J!V/oC times a noise gain of 3.1 contributes only 15.5 J!V/oC to the output drift.

Figure 2. Open-Loop Gain and Phase vs Frequency

Operation 'as a Fo"ower
When operated as a follower, the 1435 requires a noise
gain of at least 2 for stability. Figure 3 shows one method of
obtaining a noise gain of 2.

Settling-Time Measurement
The measurement of amplifier settling time to 0.01%
under 100 ns accuracy requires great care. The 1435's
settling time may be measured using the circuit shown in
Figure 5. The settling-time test point is connected to an
emitter-follower bufferforO.1 % measurement and to a gainof-5 amplifier for 0.01 %. (For a detailed discussion of these
measurementtechniques, see Teledyne Components' Model

Operation Above +85°C
In order to operate the 1435-HR from +85°C to +125°C,
it must be used with a 18°CIW heat sink. A suggested heat
sink is the Thermalloy Model 6007A· (modified by removing
thetwofinsat each end and adding the aluminum hold-down

•
•
•
•
•
•

The 1437 hybrid op amp offers versatility in wideband
steady-state and fast-transient applications. It stands out
for speed and predictability, as exemplified by its fast,
smooth settling. The absence of large transients and oscillations in the settling waveform make the 1437 a dependable system element that can resolve settling problems
associated with ADCs, DACs, and sampling circuits.
The 1437 has excellent DC characteristics: ±200 pA
input bias current, 95 dB open-loop gain, and ±0.5 mV input
offset Voltage. The choice of a single external compensation
capacitor ensures a 40 MHz bandwidth at a variety of gains.
True differential inputs ensure superior performance in all
circuit configurations: inverting, non inverting, or differential.
With an attractive price/performance ratio, the 1437 is an
industry-standard for high-speed, high-accuracy signal processing and data acquisition.
The 1437 is packaged in an a-pin TO-99 can and is
specified for O°C to +70°C operation. The 1437 High Reliability (HR) version is specified for -55°C to + 125°C operation.

Stability and Compensation
NOTES: An

For wide bandwidth applications, the 1437 can achieve
30 MHz bandwidth at 20 dB gain with a 2 pF compensation
capacitor, as shown in Figure 4. The 1437 can operate as a
unity-gain buffer out to 40 MHz bandwidth with 27 pF
compensation (Figure 5). The 1437 is stable without a
compensation capacitor in applications with gains greater
than 30 dB, such as a video amplifier (Figure 6), where the
gain is 70 dB and a compensation capacitor is not needed.
Referto Figure 8 to determine the required compensation for
other gain selections.

Eos trim potentiometer is optional.

Power supplies should be bypassed with
1 J.lF tantalum and 0.01 J.lF ceramic capacitors.

Use of a finned heat sink is recommended.

determine maximum temperature rise case to junction in the hybrid.
2. Individual thermal resistance of the output stage. The 1438 is a Class AB amplifier. To calculate the output transistor temperature rise
case to junction, multiply this figure by the power dissipation of the output transistor. At AC frequencies above 100 Hz, the effective
thermal resistance of the output stage will drop 32.soCIW for the 1438.

Stability and Compensation
For wide bandwidth applications, the 1438 can achieve
30 MHz bandwidth at 20 dB gain with a 2 pF compensation
capacitor, as shown in Figure 4. The 1438 can operate as a
unity-gain buffer out to 40 MHz bandwidth with 27 pF
compensation (Figure 5). The 1438 is stable without a
compensation capacitor in applications with gains greater
than 30 dB, such as a video amplifier (Figure 6), where the
gain is 70 dB and a compensation capacitor is not needed.
Referto Figure 8 to determine the required compensation for
other gain selections.

NOTES: An E05 trim potentiometer is optional.
Power supplies should be bypassed with
1 I1F tantalum and 0.01 I1F ceramic capacitors.
Use of a finned heat sink is recommended.

Fast settling time, low bias and offset currents, and
modest power consumption make the 1438 an excellent
choice for use in data conversion applications. Figure 2

FEATURES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•
•
•
•
•
•

The 1443's combination of high speed, wide bandwidth, excellent DC characteristics, and low-gain stability
places it at the forefront of high-performance operational
amplifiers. Its 2 GHz gain-bandwidth product, 1200 V/IlS
slew rate (when compensated for unity gain), and 130 ns
settling time clearly make it an outstanding high-speed
device. It has been carefully engineered to eliminate the
low-gain stability problems that have historically plagued
high-speed op amps such as the 883554. For example, as
a unity-gain follower with a 54 pF capacitive load, the 1443
has a small signal (3 dB) bandwidth of 120 MHz, yet still
has 35° of phase margin, without using exotic circuit techniques.
The 1443 has a fully-differential FET input followed by
a bipolar gain stage that, together, produce excellent DC
characteristics. Common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) is
80 dB (minimum). Offset voltage and bias current are
guaranteed less than ±3 mV and -50 pA, respectively.
Open-loop gain is 100 dB (minimum). External compensation with a single capacitor allows users to tailor 1443
performance for different applications.
The 1443 is packaged in an a-pin TO-3 can and is
specified for O°C to +70°C operation. The 1443 High Reliability (HR) version is specified for -55°C to +125°C operation.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Compensation
The 1443's design allows users to tailor its compensation, and thereby its performance, to suit different applications. The total effective compensation is an internal 5
pF capacitor in series with whatever capacitor is placed
between the compensation input (pin 3) and the. output
(pin 1).
To minimize low frequency «1 MHz) slewing error and
maximize bandwidth for higher gains (>30 dB), the external
compensation capacitance should range from 0 pF (open)
to 5 pF. For best transient response at lower gains, values
greater than 5 pF are recommended. Above approxima~ely
15 pF, a short is recommended in lieu of a larger capacitor.
The exact value of compensation depends on how much
ringing and overshoot an application allows. Most low-gain
applications will achieve best overall results by shorting pin
1 to pin 3.
Following selection of a compensation capacitor (Ce), a
feedback capacitor (CFB) must be selected to properly
compensate for input capacitance:

that noise gain is the multiple of amplifier input noise which
appears at the amplifier output. In case of low CC, CFB may
be increased to provide extra phase lead. The choice of CFB
is best made on the basis of permissible overshoot after Cc
has been chosen on the basis of gain.

Bypassing
The traditional practice of decoupling power supply
lines with bypass capacitors is necessary to prevent highfrequency oscillations resulting from power supply lead
inductance and parasitic capacitance. Unfortunately, the
bypass capacitor and lead inductance form a tank circuit
that can ring when a step change in the op-amp output forces
a current pulse from the supply. In many cases, adding a
dissipative element (a resistor) will damp the ringing; its
exact value is not critical, but its presence is.

CFB = 2 pF/(NG-1),
where NG = noise gain.
Noise gain is defined as 1/~, where ~ is equal to the
fraction of the output signal that is fed back to the input. Note

When used as a unity-gain follower (Figure 8), the 1443
has a 3 dB bandwidth of 120 MHz with only 1 dB of peaking,
as shown in Figure 9. Pulse response in this configuration is
shown in Figure 10.

With fully-differential capabilities, the 1443 lends itselfto
many system configurations. Figure 12 shows a Iypical
configuration for the 1443 as a wideband (approximately
15 MHz) differential amplifier with 20 dB gain.

Unity-Gain Inverter
As a unity-gain inverter (Figure 11), the 1443 has a
typical 3 dB bandwidth of 60 MHz. It will settle quickly even
with loads of CL = 100 pF and RL = 1oon, yet will not oscillate
if RIN is open.

Figure 13 shows the 1443 being used as a high-speed
coaxial line driver. The 1443 can drive a 50n cable to ±5V
with 50Q terminating resistors at both ends to minimize
reflections. Using 1% termination resistors and 50Q line,
ghosts are attenuated at least 77 dB. Without the series 50n
resistor at the amplifier output, ghosts may only be attenuated by 38 dB.

HIGH-FREQUENCY
TROUBLESHOOTING TECHNIQUES

Check for op-amp oscillations at zero volt output and at
several additional output points in each polarity. You will
often find that oscillations exist at one or two points in the
circuits' output range. These might be observed only as
unexplained perturbations on the output (they may not
appear as bursts) due to envelope detection, as previously
discussed.

Parasitic Oscillations
With VH F operational amplifiers like the 1443, it is not
enough to only be concerned with stability problems due to
loop closure. Of equal concern (and often times more
annoying) are oscillations due to parasitics. Parasitic oscillations are apt to arise in VHF op-amp circuits in which lead
lengths are long (>1/2 inch), or loop areas are large (>1
cm 2) at the summing junction, feedback capacitor, power
supply pins, or ground-return paths (from bypass capacitors
or the amplifier case).
For the 1443, these oscillations may contain frequencies up to 0.5 GHz. Therefore, you cannot always count on
seeing them with an oscilloscope. When parasitic oscillation
occurs, it often appears as a DC offset because circuit
conductance nonlinearities detect its RF envelope. If what
appears to be a DC offset is noisy and erratic, or responsive
to the placement of your finger or a test probe, parasitic
oscillations may be the problem.
Parasitic oscillations are also likely if there is any significant lead length separating the amplifier output from its
load capacitance. The lead inductance and load capacitance form a series LC circuit that looks like a larger and
larger capacitor as it approaches resonant frequency from
below.
Even lead lengths associated with attaching an oscilloscope probe can cause problems. For a typical scope
probe, with the ground attached 10 cm from the measurement point, the ground lead and probe form a series LC
circuit of approximately 100 nH and 12 pF. At 100 MHz
band-edge for the 1443, the apparent probe capacitance
will dOUble. In parallel with already-existing circuit capacitances, this 24 pF may be enough to cause oscillation. A
good practice is to wrap the ground lead around the probe
tip. An even better practice is to use a probe socket
(Tektronix 131-0258-00) installed in the circuit, with careful
choice of the ground return route.
Semiconductor capacitances and bandwidths are
nonlinearly-dependent on voltage and current. Devices that
oscillate at one voltage level may not oscillate at another.

The Finger as an Analog Development Tool
In 15V systems, the finger can be a useful investigative
tool, if thoughtfully applied. It can couple signals in and out
and can also be used as a load. A well-Iaid-out RF op-amp
circuit will be only slightly affected by a light touch. Dramatic
changes reveal a sensitive point! Check a circuit by touching
the amplifier case, the supply rails (carefully), ground, control knobs, chassis parts, etc. If things change markedly
when you touch these a~eas, parasitics may be the problem.

Other Considerations
Problems commonly associated with video amplifiers
are naturally present in VHF circuits. Therefore, proper
compensation of input capacitance by CFB cannot be ignored. Nor can the impedance (inductance) of the ground
return paths (though use of a ground-plane is helpful, it is
no panacea).

Thermal Considerations
The 1443 has internal current limiting but can only
withstand an output short to ground if, during the short, the
output current is negative as often as positive during each
100 ms period. It is not short-circuit-proof under all conditions. Maximum continuous junction temperature should
be kept below +150°C.
The case-to-ambient thermal resistance of the TO-3
package is eCA = 35°CIW. For the two output transistors,
eJC is 95°CIW.With a 20 Vp_p output sinusoid, the effective
eJC of these two transistors is 65°C/W. A heat sink is
required above +75°C ambient (+85°C for sinusoidal output)
if a 200n load is used. With a 100n load, a heat sink is
required above +4QOC ambient (+50°C for sinusoidal output).

Fully Differential Input

The 1460 heralds a new era in high power, wideband
operational amplifiers. Designed for ATE signal amplification and pin driving, the 1460 surpasses the competition in
speed (1 GHz gain bandwidth product, 300V/Ilsec slew
rate) and in output capability (full ±31V, ±200 mA output).
The 1460 is a fully differential input, single-ended output
device with internal current limiting and external compensation. A single capacitor allows users to tailor 1460 performance to different applications.
The 1460 is ideal for high speed, high gain applications that require a ±30V, high current output. It is optimized for gains greater than five, making it a superb choice
for either analog or digital signal amplification at video
frequencies. Secondary breakdown problems associated
with most power op amps are virtually eliminated in the
1460 through the use of a unique VMOS output stage. The
output voltage and current are limited only by power dissipation and not by safe operating area curves. For any
application in which the amplifier will ,be dissipating more
than one watt of power, an external heat sink must be
used. The thermal resistance of the 1460 is 20°C/watt
(9Jc) and 50°C/watt (9JA)' Junction temperatures should
not exceed 150°C for normal operation or 200°C for a
short-circuit condition.
The 1460 is packaged in an 8-pin TO-3 can. The
standard unit is specified for O°C to +70°C operation. The
1460 High Reliability (HR) version is specified for -55°C to
+125°C operation.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Figures 1 and 2 illustrate low gain noninverting and
inverting applications. The 1460's compensation capacitor
for each of these applications was chosen for 10 MHz
bandwidth operation.
The application in Figure 3 has a 10 MHz bandwidth and
an inverting gain of 100 yielding 1 GHz gain bandwidth
product. Notice that there is no compensation capacitor on
the 1460. No compensation capacitor is needed for gains
over 100. However, a feedback capacitor between 1 pF and
10 pF is recommended to compensate for the 1460's input
capacitance.

In the absence of a positive supply voltage, the output
will follow the negative supply. Should such a condition
occur, it is possible, depending on the feedback network
used, that the maximum allowable differential input voltage
may be exceeded. If there is a possibility that the differe~tial
input voltage may exceed ±6V, input overvoltage protection,
shown in the Standard Configuration diagram, should be
used.

Compensation
For optimum performance and noise rejection, power
supplies should be bypassed with 11lF tantalum ?apacitors.
When driving heavy loads, more bypass capacitance may
be needed.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•
•
•
•
•
•

The 1461 is an extremely fast, FET-input, VMOS-output, power operational amplifier. It operates from ±15V to
±40V supplies, has output voltages up to ±34V, and output
currents up to ±750 rnA. Its unique VMOS-output stage
eliminates the safe operating area (SOA) restrictions and
secondary breakdown problems that plague virtually all
other presently-available power op amps. The 1461 's ability to handle high output currents at any voltage eliminates
the intricate problems normally caused by driving capacitive or inductive loads.
The 1461's combination of speed and power characteristics is unmatched. Its 115 dB open-loop gain, 1 GHz
gain-bandwidth product, and 1000 V/JlS slew rate make it
an outstanding high-speed op amp.
The 1461 is housed in a 14-pin dual-in-line package
with "ears" for easy mounting to heat sinks. Compensation
is accomplished with a single external capacitor. Two external current-limiting resistors are optional.
The standard 1461 is specified for O°C to +70°C operation. For high-reliability military/aerospace applications,
the High Reliability (HR)1461 version is specified for-55°C
to + 125°C operation.

Output Current Limiting
The 1468 output can be current limited using the ±luMIT
formulas shown in the standard configuration diagram. In
some applications, foldover current limiting can be used to
allow increased output current as the 1468 output approaches the power supply rail voltage. To calculate the
foldover current limit, use the formula for IFO shown in the
diagram. The following procedures should be followed:
1. Calculate a value for RCL that provides a safe current
limit at Vo = OV.

2. Calculate the maximum value of IFO * by using a value
of on for RFO. This is the maximum current limit
possible using the foldover current-limit option.
3. Calculate a value for RFO using the value for RCL
calculated in step 1 , and a desired IFO limit which is

lower than the maximum limit calculated in step 2.
"This calculation assumes the output voltage (Vo) is the same polarity
as the current carrying supply voltage. If not, invert the polarity of Vo
before making this calculation.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•
•
•

The 1480 is a fully-differential FET-input operational
amplifier capable of operating over a voltage supply range
of ±15V to ±150V with common-mode and output voltages
ranging to within 10V of the supply voltages, and output
currents of up to ±1 00 rnA. The 1480 is pin compatible with
the 8B3583, but has superior time and frequency performance. Gain-bandwidth product is 18 MHz, slew rate is
1OOV/flS, and unity-gain bandwidth is 5 MHz.
The input of the 1480 is fully protected. It can withstand common-mode voltages to ±( IVee I+5)V, differential
voltages to 450V, and input voltage slew rates to 150 kVI
fls. Output current is short-circuit limited at ±125 rnA. The
true differential FET-input (typical CMRR is 125 dB) limits
input bias current to ±200 pA (maximum). The bias and
offset current drifts are small enough to greatly reduce the
large offset drifts normally associated with high-voltage
circuits.
The 1480 is packaged in a TO-3 metal can and is
specified for O°C to +70°C operation. The 1480 High Reliability (HR) version is specified for -55°C to + 125°C operation.

•
•
•

The 4856 is a high performance sample/hold amplifier
for applications requiring high speed and small size. This
unit has been designed for maximum versatility in circuit
design and "tailoring" of specifications. With a minimum of
external components, the 4856 can be used inverting or
non-inverting, with or without gain. In the sample mode, the
4856 acts as an op amp and any of the standard op amp
feedback circuits may be externally connected to control
such parameters as gain and frequency response.
In addition, the externally connected hold capacitor
enables the user to achieve the best compromise between
acquisition time and droop rate forthe particular application.
A standard device is specified for GOC to +75°C. The High
Reliability (HR) version is specified for -55°C to + 125°C
temperature range.

The Droop Rate forthis unit is determined from the value
of the external capacitance, (CH), shown in the Block

CH for the desired Droop Rate, as well as the effect on
Acquisition Time.
To minimize errors caused by dielectric absorption, it is
important to choose a polystyrene, mica, or teflon capacitor
forthe external hold capacitor. The external capacitor should
be located close to the unit to reduce the effects of stray
inductance.

Pin Programming

Guard Ring
Leakage paths on the P.C. board and on the package
surface must be minimized to reduce Droop Rate during
hold. The output line forms a guard ring around the Hold
Capacitance pin, which, because of the very nearly equal
potentials between the output and the Hold Capacitance pin,
will result in a very low leakage current. In addition, Pins 10
and 12, which are not internally connected, may be connected to the guard ring to reduce package surface leakage.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•

The 4860 is a very fast, high-resolution sample/hold
(track/hold) amplifier. Its acquisition time and sample-tohold settling time (a StH's two throughput limiting specifications) are guaranteed to ±0.01 'Yo, unlike other S/H amplifiers that only achieve ±0.1 % or ±1 %. The 4860 acquires a
10V signal step to ±0.01 % in 200 nsec maximum and then
tracks signal components up to 16 MHz. In the track mode,
offset error is typically ±0.5 mV, and gain error is typically
±0.05%. When commanded to Hold the 4860's output
settles within ±0.01 %FS of its final value in 100 nsec
maximum. The aperture delay time is 6 nsec, aperture jitter
is ±50 psec, and pedestal is a minimal ±2.5 mV. In the hold
mode the output droop rate is a low 5 ~V/lJ.Sec maximum and
feedthroughattenuation, at 2.5 MHz, is an impressive 74 dB.
Its 24-pin, dual-in-line package, gain of -1, ±10V input!
output range, and TTL compatible logic make the 4860's
performance compatible with many industry standard devices. Being a second-generation design, however, the
4860 is superior to these units in almost every performance
specification. Faster switching and better feedthrough attenuation are the results of our unique MOSFET switching
scheme. Shorter acquisition and settling times and considerably lower droop are the result of our proprietary high
speed, FET input op amp designs.
A standard device is specified for O°C to +70°C. The
High Reliability (HR) version is specified for-55°C to + 125°C
temperature range.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Capacitive and Resistive Loading

The 4860 is ideally suited for 12 to 14-bit high speed data
acquisition/distribution systems. In a ±10V system, its
±0.01%FS (±0.005%FSR) linearity is equivalent to better
than ±1/2LSB in 13 bits. Its low ±5Ops aperture uncertainty
enables it to accurately (±1/2LSB in 12 bits) sample signals
with slew rates up to 24.4V/~isec. Its low, 511V1~ec, output
droop rate enables it to hold signals to ±1/2L8B in 14 bits for
up to 12511sec. The 4860 is functionally laser trimmed at the
factory to correct offset, pedestal and gain errors, and is
designed to be used without external adjustments. If system
requirements call for tighter accuracies, units can be selected at the factory or adjustments can be made to the AID
or D/A used with the 4860.

In order to avoid oscillations, current limiting or performance variations over temperature, the 4860's output loading has certain restrictions. To avoid oscillation the largest
capacitive load is typically 250 pF. The largest recommended resistive load is 500n, although values as low as
250n may be used. Acquisition and sample-to-hold settling
times are relatively unaffected by resistive loads down to
250n and capacitive loads up to 50 pF. However, higher
capacitive loads will affect both acquisition and settling time.

Grounding and Bypassing
With proper grounding and bypassing, the 4860 meets
all its published performance specifications without any
additional external components. The device has four ground
pins (Pins 10, 15, 21 and 23), and all must be tied together
and connected to system analog ground as close to the
package as possible. It is preferable to have a large analog
ground plane beneath the 4860 and have all four ground
pins soldered directly to it. Pin 10 is particularly sensitive to
ground noise because most of the digital elements that
constitute the switch drive circuit are grounded to Pin 10.
Noise in the switch drive circuit couples directly to the main
op amp summing junction-the most noise-sensitive point in
any 8/H circuit. Most digital ground currents enter or leave
the 4860 through Pin 10, therefore, in order to keep the
output clean, care must be taken to ensure that no ground
potentials exist between Pin 10 and the other ground pins.
This is why Pin 10 must be tied to the analog and not the
digital ground system. For the same reason, the +5V digital
logic supply (Pin 9) should be kept as clean as possible. This
supply (as well as the ±15V supplies, Pins 24 and 22) is
bypassed to ground with a 0.0111F ceramic capacitor inside
the 4860. In critical applications, additional external 0.111Fto
111F tantalum bypass capacitors may be required.

Track Mode Gain Amplitude and Phase Response

Aperature Jitter
The most common use of sample (track)/hold amplifiers
is as an input for AID converters to permit the accurate
digitizing of signals with slew rates (frequencies) much
higher than the AID alone could handle. A rule of thumb for
obtaining desired accuracy in successive approximation
type AID conversion is to ensure that the analog input signal
being converted does not change by more than ±1/2L8B
during the conversion. Applying this rule to any given AID
converter, one can calculate an input slew rate limit beyond
which accurate digitizing is impossible. The slew rate can
then be converted to a frequency limit if you choose to speak
in those terms.
Example: For a 12-bit 500ns AID converter with a
±2.5V input range, 1/2LSB is equivalent to .61 mV. If the
input is not allowed to change more than .61 mV in 500 ns,
theADC's input slew rate limit is±1.22 mV/l1sec. If one were
trying to accurately digitize a ±2.5V sine wave its frequency
would have to be less than 77.7 Hz.

Sample/Hold Command
A TTL logic "0" applied to Pin 11, or a logic "1" applied
to Pin 12 puts the 4860 into the sample (track) mode. In this
mode, the device acts as an inverting unity gain amplifier,
and its output follows (tracks) its input. A logic "1" applied to
Pin 11 and a logic "0" applied to Pin 12 puts the 4860 into the
hold mode, and the output is held constant at the level
present when the hold command was given. If Pin 11 is used
to control the 4860, Pin 12 must be connected to digital
ground. If Pin 12 is used to controlthe 4860, Pin 11 must be
tied to +5V. Pins 11 and 12 each represent 1 TTL load to the
digital drive circuit.

For example:

dvtdt (max)
1.22mVtl1s

=2.5rocosrot (Max)
=2.5ro

The 4860 has a ±50 psec aperture jitter. This means
there is a 100 psec period during which the input signal
should not change more than ±1t2LSB. If, for example, you
are using the 4860 StH infrontofa 12-bitAlDconverter, then
1t2LSB = 0.61 mY. The input signal slew rate limitation for
accurate digitizing is then 0.61 mVt100 psec or 6.1 Vtl1sec.
This is equivalenttothe highest slew rate one would encounter
in a ±2.5V sine wave with a frequency of 388 kHz. This is a
considerable improvement over the 78 Hz sine wave that a
12-bit, 500 ns ADC could accurately digitize without a StH.
Notice that 388 kHz to 78 Hz is the same ratio as 500 nsec,
the ADC's conversion time, to 100 psec, the 4860's aperture
jitter.

1.22mVtl15 = 57tf
77.7 (Hz)

= f (Max)

A sample/hold in front of an AID converter can "freeze"
the converter's input signal whenever a conversion is made.
Even though the StH reduces system throughput, because
the StH acquisition time has to be added to the AID conversion time, it makes it possible for the AID to accurately
digitize input signals with much higher slew rates (frequencies). How is this accomplished? Let's look at the timing for
a conversion that uses a sample/hold input buffer.
Once a StH (TtH) has acquired an input signal and is
tracking it, the s/H can be commanded to hold at any instant.
There is normally a small delay between the time the unit is
commanded to hold and the time it actually holds. This delay
is called aperture delay time or aperture time delay. It
normally does not present a problem because the hold
command signal can be advanced in time to make the
amplifier hold at the correct time. Aperture delay time can
vary as a given device takes sample after sample. The
sample-to-sample variation in aperture delay time is called
aperture jitter. Although aperture delay time is not normally
a problem, aperture jitter is a problem. This is because it is
impossible to control or compensate for aperture jitter. Since
we have no control during the period of aperture jitter, would
like our input signal to change as little as possible during this
period. To return to our rule ofthumb, we don't wantthe input
to change by more than ±1t2LSB. Therefore, if we're using
a StH in front of an AID converter, the slew rate limitation is
no longer ±1t2LSB during the conversion time but ±1t2LSB
during the aperture jitter time.

Acquisition Accuracy vs Acquisition Time for 10V Step

This procedure, which determines how fast a signal a
given s/H permits one to digitize, assumes that the output
droop rate of the chosen sample/hold is low enough to keep
the AID's input constant to within ±1t2LSB during a conversion time. It also assumes that at the input slew rate
(frequency) of interest, the StH's output is not slew rate
(bandwidth) limited. Lastly, the fact that a given StH and
AID combination can accurately digitize the fastest portions
of a 388 kHz sine wave does not mean that the same
combination can be used to digitize that signal forreproduction
purposes. Nyquist criteria state that you have to sample a
388 kHz sine wave at twice its frequency, i.e. you have to
take a sample every 1.25IJ.Sec. The 48601ADC combination
must sample at least this fast to reproduce the input.

4860
Using the 4860 with AID Converters
There. are two important considerations when using
S/Hs to drive successive approximation AIDs. The first is a
dual requirement-the S/H's output stage should exhibit a
very low impedance compared to the AID's input impedance, usually 1 to 10 kn, at frequencies up to five times the
AID's clock period; and the SIH should be able to recover
from current transients in a time interval smaller than the
AID's clock period. These requirements are based on the
fact that successive approximation AID's internal D/A converter changes its output current just priortothe determination
of each output bit, therefore, the StH will be required to sink
or source large, high frequency current transients and
recoverwithinoneclockperiod.lnthe hold mode the4860's
output impedance is typically 0.1Q. Its outP~ typically
recovers (to ±0.01 'Yo) from a 2mA step in less than 100 nsec.

The s~cond c~nsi~eration involves the S/H's sample-tohold tra~slent setthng time. If the same timing pulse that puts
the StH Into the hold mode initiates the AID conversion the
transient settling time has to be short enough to ensure'that
the AID has a stable, accurate input when it makes the final
decision on whether its MSB output should be a "1" or "0".
This decision normally takes place one clock period after a
conversion has begun.
In most applications by using the 4860 in front of a
successive approximation AID converter, the 4860's HOLD
or HOLD can be driven directly from the converter's status
output. The status output changes state when the converter
receives a convert command, and this change can be used
to drive the StH from the track to the hold mode. The reverse
change in state of the status output at the end of the
conversion can also be used to set the StH back into the
track mode.

1. Increased open-loop gain; improves linearity and
eliminates output voltage droop.
2. Superior second-stage biasing and decreased gain
sensitivity to the transconductance of the JFET input
yields faster, more consistent settling times.
3. The addition of supply current compensation over
temperature improves dynamic response versus
temperature.
4. Improved phase margin allows smaller compensation capacitance values to be used in low-gain
applications, which means higher slew rates and
faster settling times, and useful features for new
designs.

HIGH-SPEED, FET-INPUT
OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER
TP0032
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

exact value will vary with the effects of layout and closedloop gain, and is therefore determined case by case.
When using the TP0032 in a noninverting configuration,
it may be advantageous to bootstrap the case and/or a guard
conductor to the inverting input. This practice will divert
leakage currents away from the non inverting input and
reduce effective input capacitance.

Wiring Recommendations
As with most high-speed op amps, the TP0032 is
sensitive to circuit board layout; Le., stray reactances. The
power supplies should be bypassed as close to pins 10 and
12 as possible. Use low-inductance capacitors, such as
0.01 JlF disc ceramics. Any other compensation capacitors,
if used, should be located as close as possible to the
appropriate pins to minimize stray capacitance. Good
grounding techniques, as always, should be used.

Heat Sinking
When operating the TP0032 at TA = +25°C, the case
temperature will be approximately +65°C. Although the
TP0032 is specified for operation without a heat sink, bias
current performance may be improved with the use of a
small heat sink, such as the Thermalloy 2240 or equivalent.
The case is electrically isolated, so it may be connected to
the heat sink. However, this will add capacitance to all pins
and will probably necessitate compensation readjustment.

Input Capacitance
The TP0032's input capacitance is typically 2-3 pF. To
compensate for this, it is recommended that a small capacitor be placed across the feedback resistor. The value of this
capacitor should be on the order of several picofarads. The

TP0033

HIGH-SPEED, UNITY-GAIN BUFFERIDRIVER AMPLIFIER
FEATURES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•

The TP0033 is a high-speed, high-input impedance,
unity-gain buffer amplifier that is pin, package and performance equivalent to the ubiquitous LH0033. This device
matches or exceeds the performance of its counterpart in all
applications, yet typically draws just ±14 rnA quiescent
current, versus ±20 rnA typical for the LH0033.
The TP0033 has a FET input stage which provides
high-input impedance (10 11 0), low-input bias current
(0.5 nA), and low initial input offset voltage (±10 mY). The
device operates with supply voltages from ±5V to ±20V
(single supply operation is permissible). With nominal ±15V
supplies, the TP0033 delivers a guaranteed output of ±12V
into 1 kn. Other key large-signal specifications are 1500 VI
JlS slew rate and 25 ns settling time for the unit to settle a
2V step (typical "flash" ADC full-scale input) to within ±1 %
(±20 mY) of final value.
A 100 MHz bandwidth, 2.9 ns rise time and 1.2 ns
propagation delay are key small-signal specifications that
further demonstrate the TP0033's suitability for highfrequency, signal-buffering applications.
The TP0033 is housed in a 12-pin TO-8 can. The
standard device is specified for -25°C to +85°C operation.
The High Reliability (HR) version is specified for -55°C to
+125°C operation.

BUFFER/DRIVER AMPLIFIER
TP0033
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Offset Adjustment

closely as possible to the case. If pins 1 and 12 or pins 9 and
10 are not tied together, each pin should be decoupled by a
low-inductance (0.1 I!F) ceramic disc capacitor, grounded
as close as possible to the case.

The TP0033 is factory-trimmed for low initial offset
voltage. This is achieved by laser trimming and is implemented by tying pin 6 (offset preset) to pin 7 (offset adjust
input). If the offset needs adjusting for any reason (see
"Single or Unbalanced Power Supplies"), it can be done by
using the offset null scheme shown in Figure 1. If an
adjustable offset is not needed, pin 7 must be tied to pin 6.
(Pin 7 cannot be left open.)

Reactive Loading
The TP0033 output can drive large (several thousand
pF) capacitive loads and long, properly terminated coaxial
lines without tendency to oscillate. Peak capacitive output
current levels should not exceed 250 mA.

Current Limiting
Single or Unbalanced Power Supplies

The output of the TP0033 is not short-circuit protected
and should not exceed ±1 00 mA steady-state or ±250 mA
peak instantaneous current. For overcurrent protection, the
maximum output current of the TP0033 can be limited by the
use of current-limiting resistors as shown in Figure 2, or by
an active current-source circuit as shown in Figure 3. Whether
or not the current is limited, pins 1 and 9 must be connected
to +Vee and -Vee, respectively.

The TP0033 can operate from unbalanced power supplies, such as the +5V/-12V rails prevalent in MaS-based
logic systems. An output offset voltage will result, but is
correctable by the nulling method shown in Figure 1. It is
predictable (with sufficient accuracy) as follows:
Offset (V) = (1-Gain) (I+Veel- I-Veel)/2
gain is typically 0.985; therefore:

Wiring Recommendations

Offset (V) = 0.0075 (I+Veel- I-Veel)

The TP0033, like any high-speed device, is sensitive to
layout inductances; therefore, ground planes are recommended. For best performance, each power supply should
be individually decoupled; i.e., bypassed to ground. If pin 1
is tied directly to pin 12 and pin 9 is tied directly to pin 10
(Figure 1), connect low-inductance (0.1 I!F) ceramic disc
capacitors directly to pins 10 and 12 and ground them as

Heat Sinking
Idling in a +25°C ambient environment, the TP0033 has
an approximate case temperature of +65°C. For best
performance, a heat sink (Thermalloy 2240 or equivalent) is
recommended, particularly for extended temperature
operation .

OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER -

HIGH-SPEED, WIDE BAND

FEATURES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•
•
•
•
•

The TP3554 is a fully differential, wideband operational amplifier with 2 GHz gain bandwidth product, 1200 VI
Jls slew rate, and ±12V, ±125mA output. Settling time for a
10V step to 0.01 % is guaranteed less than 250 ns, and
external cornpensation allows users to optimize bandwidth,
slew rate, or settling time in different applications.
The TP3554 is an improved second source to the BurrBrown BB3554. In most applications, the TP3554 is a dropin replacement for the BB3554, having similar bandwidth
and slew rate characteristics with similar compensation. In
other applications, the TP3554's superior design approach
will solve many of the problems encountered with the
BB3554. The TP3554's improved interior loop stability
overcomes the BB3554's pronounced tendency to ring or
oscillate at 120 MHz, especially at lower gains (higher
compensations). The improved loop stability also results in
an improved capacitive load capability. The TP3554 does
not have input overload problems. Input slew rate does not
affect settling time, and there are no input rise time restrictions. This eliminates many of the problems encountered in
pulse-amplifier applications. The TP3554 has a much lower
quiescent current drain, ±14 mA typical, (±20 mA maximum) and a lower short-circuit output current.
The standard TP3554 is housed in a TO-3 metal can
and is specified for -25°C to +85°C operation. The TP3554
High Reliability (HR) version is specified for -55°C to +125°C
operation.

Optional Offset Adjustment
If the TP3554's guaranteed offset error is too large for a
particular application, the initial offset may be adjusted to
zero by connecting a 20 kn. linear potentiometer between
pins 4 and 8, with the wiper connected to the positive supply,
as shown in Figure 7. A small, non inductive potentiometer is

Slew rate is dependent upon compensation. Decreasing the compensation capacitor value will increase the
available slew rate. Stray capacitances may have the same
effect as the compensation capacitor. To avoid limiting the
slew rate performance, stray capacitances should be minimized.

Heat Sinking
The TP3554 does not require a heat sink for operation
in most environments. However, the use of a heat sink
reduces the case temperature rise and results in lower
junction operating temperatures. At extreme temperatures
and under full load conditions, a heat sink will be necessary
(as indicated in Figure 6). When heat sinking the TP3554, it
is recommended the heat sink be connected directly to the
amplifier case and the combination not be connected to the
ground plane. The addition of a heat sink to an alreadyfunctional circuit will probably require slight compensation
adjustment for optimum performance, due to the change in
stray capacitances. The added stray capacitance to each
pin from the heat sink will depend on the thickness and type
of heat sink used.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•
•
•

The 1900 isa high performance monolithic variable gain
transconductance amplifier with a high voHage open collector output capable of driving a video display (CRT cathode)
directly. Typical rise times of 2.4ns are achieved using a
peaking inductor with a 2000 load resistor and a 6pF total
load (CRT and parasitic capacitance).
Differential inputs and a linear adjustable gain stage
with an output offset adjustment make the 1900 versatile
and well suited for many applications. The TIL BLANK input
will set the output to a pre-determined black level independent of signal input.
The 1900 is available in a 24-pin DIP power-tab package. A suitable heat sink must be attached to maintain the
junction temperature with the recommended operating range.

MONOLITHIC, HIGH VOLTAGE
VIDEO DRIVER FOR CRT MONITORS
1900
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

VIN+, VINVIN+ and VIW are the analog input pins. It is recommended that signals applied to these inputs be kept within
±1.3V with respect to ground. The input pins accept RS-343
signals of VVIN = ±0.714mV pop, and will operate properly
with common mode range of ±0.5V with respect to ground
(excluding signal). Although large offsets can be handled
safely without damage to the device, output linearity suffers
and therefore is not recommended.

VIG is the overall DC gain control that will vary the device
gain from 0 to 80. An internal reference supply, V REF (Pin 2),
provides the 5V nominally needed to drive the gain and
offset inputs (see typical connection diagram). Normally a
5kf.l potentiometer between VREF and ground varies the
gain, but an external source can be used, instead of VREF,
with sorne additional degradation of gain stability with temperature.

Gain control through VIG is a linear relationship. Zero to
100% of the gain range of 0 to 100 is achieved by varying this
input from 0 to 5 volts. This yields the following relationship
for overall voltage gain of this device (for 10 ~250mA):
VAA - Vo = VIN· gm· RL
VAA - Vo

= VIN(V) (VIG(V)· 0.1

• RL)

The overall gain of this device can vary by ±20% due to
normal process variations of internal components «150ppm/
°C). ·If multiple devices are used in a system provisions
should be made so that they all track thermally (i.e., a
common heat sink), to offset any changes with varying
ambient conditions.

VOF
VOF is an input control which sets the output quiescent
current and therefore the output offset voltage (see Black
level). Output quiescent current can be adjusted from 5mA
to 55mA when VOF is adjusted from 0 to 5.5V. Normally
adjustment is done by using a 5kf.l potentiometer between
VREF and ground (see typical application diagram).

For color tracking the output reference voltage of one device should be buffered and used to drive all three devices. The monolithic construction of this

MONOLITHIC, HIGH VOLTAGE
VIDEO DRIVER FOR CRT MONITORS
1900

BLANK

Vo

When asserted (Blank =TIL High), this input disables
the video signal and allows the output to rise to the predetermined blank level independent of the VOF control when
VOF is between 0 to 3V. Above 3V there is some interaction
between VOF and the Blank level. Blank is independent of
the input signal.

The output of the 1900 is an open collector of a cascode
circuit. This output works with nominal output supplies of VAA
=+70V. The high voltage supply must be greater than any
applied VCB voltage for proper operation. The 1900 drives
loads up to 250mA. Optimum performance can be achieved
when a peaking network is used (see typical connection
diagram).

BLACK
Black level is the output voltage developed across the
external resistor load that is achieved with OV video input.
This level can be modified by the quiescent operating point
setup at the VOF input (Pin 3). Adjustmentsfor output current
from 5mA to 55mA are easily made by varying the bias as
VOF from OV to 5.5V.
VREF

VREF is a bias reference made available for ease in
adjusting the offset, and gain inputs. This is a zener reference with a nominal output voltage of 5.5V ±5% which can
source up to 4mA.

VeB
The output stage consists of a common-base highvoltage stage and a high-speed low voltage current amplifier in a cascode arrangement. The VCB input is the base
connection to the common base device of this stage. Care
should be taken to provide a stable DC voltage at this point
of nominally +10V. High frequency compensation at this
input is required to avoid output oscillations. A series 150
resistor with a 15pF capacitor to ground is recommended
(see typical connection diagram). Smaller values of this RC
combination will improve output rise/fall times, but can
cause output oscillations near 330M Hz.

SUB
SUB is the internal connectiontothe substrate and must
be connected to VEE, the most negative voltage applied to
the device. Proper bypassing of the substrate supply, SUB
(Pins 20,21) and the VEE supply (Pins 8,9) is required to
prevent output oscillations.

Power Supply
A +10V and -10.5V supply are required for proper
operation. These supplies can be set at ±12V for convenience but this will add additional heat through power dissipation internal to the package. The high voltage supply can
be any voltage above the VCB supply, but not greater than
VCB plus 65V. To achieve good performance from the 1900,
close attention to high frequency grounding practices and
printed circuit board layout is mandatory.

Supply Sequencing
Power supply sequencing is important to avoid internal
device latch-up. To avoid sequencing problems external
diodes should be placed from VEE to ground, from ground to
Vcc and from Vcc to the output supply VAA (see typical
connection diagram). With the external diodes in the circuit
the most negative supply, VEE, should be turned on first.

Power Dissipation
The 1900 dissipates a large amount of power due to
different speed and load driving requirements. The PowerTab package provides a low thermal resistance path from
the chip to an external heat sink. Care should be taken in the
board design to provide sufficient heat sinking capacity to
allow operation over the intended operating range. When
mounting to a chassis the device tab (heat sink) is attached
to VEE (-10.5V). II is recommended that a low thermal resistance insulator be used when attaching to a grounded
chassis.

Initial Step
Initial setup of the device requires proper setup of the
VOF and VIG inputs for balanced riselfall times. If too little
quiescent current is allowed it will slow the output rise time
and limit eventual bandwidth.

FOR CRT MONITORS
1902
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 1902 is a high-performance, high-voltage amplifier
designed to drive the cathode in high-resolution, highbrightness CRT monitors and projection displays.
The 1902 is replete with differential inputs, blanking
control, linearly-adjustable gain stage, adjustable offset,
and a differential emitter-follower output stage. The 1902 is
capable of driving 10 pFto 20 pF loads, can be driven directly
from a standard video DAC, and is RS170 and RS343
compatible.
The 1902 has three variants for different applications.
The internal high-voltage resistor and output transistors are

varied to strike the optimum balance between output voltage
from 40V to 90V, and rise/fall times from 2.2 ns to 4.5 ns. The
1902-0 has no internal high-voltage resistor, thereby allowing the designer to select a high-voltage resistor to suit the
specific application.
The 1902 is housed in a hermetically-sealed, 30-pin
flat pack with SO-mil center pins on two sides. It has mounting
flanges suitable for 4-40 screws. The 1902-X is specified
for -2SoC to +8SoC operation. The 1902-X-HR is specified
for-S5°C to +12SOC operation.

Description
These are demonstration boards which allow a user to quickly and easily evaluate the
operating characteristics of the video display drivers in conjunction with the user's
display. These cards cO!1tain the chosen driver, all necessary connectors (power supply,
input/output, control signal) as well as gain and offset adjustment circuits. These boards
are compact (4.5" x 4.5" max) and are supplied with an attached heat sink for thermal
management. An application note is included with evaluation board to simplify the
evaluation of driver performance.
Heat sink kit used with the evaluation board.
Fully assembled evaluation board with no hybrid inserted.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Initial Setup
The initial setup of the 1902 requires proper setting of
the VOF and VIG inputs to obtain balanced rise/fall times. If
the quiescent current level (VOF) is set too low, it slows the
output rise time and limits the bandwidth of the 1902. If it is
set too high, it will limit the fall time. Similar effects result if
the gain control (VIG) is set too high.

Signal Inputs
The analog inputs are +VIN and-VIN. They are designed
to accept RS343 signals, ±0.714 Vp_p. It is recommended
that the input signal be limited to ±1.3V referenced to ground
(0.714V signal +0.5V common mode). Offsets of ±2V (referenced to ground, signal included) can be tolerated without
damage to the device, but are not recommended.

Output Voltage
The output voltage is controlled by the breakdown
voltages of transistors OCAS, ON and Op (see standard
configuration diagram), and the value of Rp. The maximum
output voltage swing is determined by Vp_p 250 mA x Rp.
The dash-numbered versions of the 1902 differ in the values

=

of Rp, Lp, and the breakdown voltages of the output transistors.
Rise and fall time specifications are based on very
conservatively-peaked devices «5% overshoot); i.e., Lp is
low. The pull-up resistor (Rp) is connected directly to pins
16 and 17. Extemal peaking can be added, use inductors
with a high self-resonant frequency, and try to minimize
capacitive coupling to ground. If no extemal resistors or
inductors are added, use good, high-frequency bypassing
on pins 16 and 17.
Care should be taken to limit the amount of the gain
and offset adjustment so the total current through Rp does
not cause excessive power dissipation. The gain adjust can
set the AC current swing to greater than 250 mA (250 mAp.
p = 100 Vp_p on 4000). Higher currents and lower Rp values
result in faster rise and fall times. For VHV > 90V, do not
exceed a total of 290 mA through Rp.
Accesstothe intemal Rp also means the 1902 can bevery
easily configured for low power (but slower speed) applications
by adding external resistance. Note that the device is characterized with a 4000 resistor. Higher Rp values will degrade
other specifications in addition to riselfall times.
If large arc protection resistors are used (>500), series
inductance may improve the rise time of the output signal.

1902
DC Gain (Contrast) Control

Reference Voltage

VIG is the DC gain (contrast) control input. It can vary the
device gain linearly from 0 to 80 by inputting a voltage from
OV to 5V. The internal reference (VREF, pin 13) is designed
to drive this input as well as the offset control input. Normally,
a 5 kn potentiometer between VREF and GND (see standard
configuration diagram) is used to vary the gain; however,
any external OV to 5V DC source can be used, but some
temperature performance degradation will result.
The gain equation for the 1902 is:
Vo= VHV-VO
= VIN X VIG x 0.1 (±20%) x Rp* (±5%) x 0.9

V REF is a zener reference with a nominal output voltage
of 5.5V ±5%, and can source up to 4 mAo It is used to adjust
offset and gain.

Power Supplies
Power supplies of 15V (±5%) and -10.5V (±5%) are
required for proper operation. The negative supply can be
set to -12V, but will increase the internal power dissipation
and case temperature. VHV is a function of the 1902 version
selected. The maximum value is 120V, allowing up to 90
Vp_p output signals. Assume that the absolute maximum
value is VHV (listed in the specification table) plus 5V; Le., the
1902-2 absolute maximum equals 125V. It is recommended
the 1902 not be operated above VHV. Because the output
from this type of circuit is referenced to the VHV rail, it is
important that VHV is very stable. In other words, there is no
PSRR for VHV. Your system supply will determine your DC
stability.
To achieve maximum high-frequency performance, good
high-frequency grounding practices and PC board layout
are mandatory.

• Rp is inside the hybrid. Standard values are 200n ±5% and 400n ±5%.
Other values can be added externally.

The overall gain of the 1902 may vary by ±20% due
to process variations of internal components. Temperature
variations also effect gain by as much as 150 ppml"C. If
more than one 1902 is used in a system, steps should be
taken to make them track thermally (Le., a common heat
sink). This will reduce any mismatches due to varying
ambient conditions.

Offset (Brightness) Control

Supply Sequencing

VOF is the output offset (brightness) control input. It sets
the quiescent output current in Rp, thereby setting the output
quiescent voltage level. Output quiescent voltage can be
adjusted from (severalllA x Rp) to (100 rnA x Rp), nominal.
From VHV this is accomplished by inputting a DC voltage in
the OV t05.5V range atVOF. Normally, this input is from a5
kn potentiometer between VREF and GND (see standard
configuration diagram).

It is essential that the VHV supply be brought up before
VEE and Vce when using the higher voltage versions of the
1902. Supply sequencing is of less importance when VHV is
less than 90V. The recommended sequence is VHV, Vee, then
VEE. If sequencing cannot be done, the supplies should be
brought up within a few milliseconds of each other.

Blank

Power Dissipation

The blank input, when asserted (Le., TIL HIGH), disables the video input of the 1902 and sets the output to
approximately VHV. This input is independent of the input
signal and operates with TIL levels.

The 1902 power dissipation will vary in accordance to
load requirements and pixel size. The 1902 flat pack is
designed to provide a low thermal resistance path from the
hybrid circuit to an external heat sink. Mounting flanges
provide solid mechanical and thermal attachment of the
package to the heat sink. In addition, the package is electrically isolated so no mounting inSUlators are needed and
the heat sink can be at any convenient potential.

1903
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 1903 is a high-performance, high-voltage amplifier
designed to drive the grid in high-resolution, high-brightness
CRT monitors and projection displays.
The 1903 is replete with differential inputs, blanking
control, linearly-adjustable gain stage, adjustable offset and
a differential emitter-follower output stage. It is capable of
driving 10 pF to 20 pF loads, can be driven directly from a
standard video DAC, and is RS170 and RS343 compatible.
The 1903 has four variants to suit different applications.
There are basically two types: Those with internal pull-down
resistors and those that allow the user to choose and apply
their own pull-down resistor. The parts within these two

types differ in peak-to-peak output signal swing. The 1903o and 1903-2 are 90 V pop versions specified at less than 4
ns rise and fall times. The 1903-0 and 1903-2 operate from
a-95V rail.
The 1903's are housed in hermetically-sealed, 30-pin
flat packs with mounting flanges suitable for 4-40 screws.
The standard 1903-X is specified for-25°C to +85°C operation. The 1903-X-HR is specified for -55°C to + 125°C
operation.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Initial Setup

If large arc-protection resistors are used; i.e., >SOO, use
of a series inductor may improve the rise time of the output
signal.

The initial setup of the 1903 requires proper setting of
the VOF and VIG inputs to obtain balanced rise and fall
times. If the black level (VOF) is set too low, it will slow the
output fall time and limit the bandwidth of the 1903. If it is
set too high, it will limit the rise time. Similar effects will
result if the gain control (VIG) is set too high.

Signal Inputs
The analog inputs are +VINand-VIN. They are designed
to accept RS343 signals, ±0.714 Vp_p. It is recommended
that the input signal be limited to ±1.3V, referenced to
ground (0.714V signal + O.SV common mode). Offsets of
±2V (referenced to ground, signal included) can be tolerated
without damage to the device, but are not recommended.

DC Gain (Contrast) Control
VIG is the DC gain (contrast) control input. It can vary the
device gain linearly from 0 to 100 by inputting a voltage from
OV to SV. The internal reference (VREF, pin 13) is designed
to drive this input as well as the offset control input. Normally,
as kn potentiometer between VREF and GND (see standard
configuration diagram) is used to vary the gain. However,
any external OV to SV DC source can be used, but some
temperature performance degradation will result.
The gain equation for the 1903 is:
[VHV - Vol

Output Voltage
The output voltage is controlled by the breakdown
voltages of transistors QCAS, QN, and Qp (see standard
configuration diagram), and the value of Rp. The maximum
output voltage swing is determined by Vpp =2S0 rnA x Rp.
The rise and fall time specifications are based on
conservatively-peaked devices «S% at the max Vp_p). The
internal pull-down resistor (Rp) is connected directly to pins
16 and 17. External peaking can be added; use inductors
with a high self-resonant frequency and try to minimize
capacitive coupling to ground. If no external resistors or
inductors are added, use good, high-frequency bypassing
on pins 16 and 17.

=(VIN x VIG x 0.1

(±20%)
x Rp (±S%) x 0.9

>Rp can be the intemal 4000 resistor or an external user-definedl
supplied resistor.

The overall gain of the 1903 may vary by ±20% due to
process variations of the internal components. Temperature
variations also affect gain by as much as lS0 ppm/°C. If
more than one 1903 is used in a system, steps should be
taken to have thern track thermally; i.e., a common heat sink.
This will reduce any mismatches due to varying ambient
conditions.

FOR CRT MONITORS

1903
Offset (Brightness) Control
VOF is the output offset (brightness) control input. It sets
the quiescent output current, in Rp, thereby setting the output quiescent voltage level. Output quiescent voltage can be
adjusted from several !-lAx Rp to 100 rnA x Rp, nominal, from
the VHV rail. This is accomplished by inputting a DC voltage
in the OV to 5.5V range at VOF. Normally, this input is from
a 5 kW potentiometer bertween VREF and GND (see standard configuration diagram).

Blank

Due to the fact the output from this type of circuit is
referenced to the VHV rail, there is no PSRR for VHV.
Therefore, it is important that the VHV rail is very stable. Your
system power supply will determine your DC stability.
To achieve maximum high-frequency performance, good
high-frequency grounding practices and PC board layout
are mandatory. For best performance, the case must be
held at AC ground. That is, if the case cannot be grounded
directly (such as through a grounded heat sink), it should be
capacitively grounded.

Supply Sequencing

The blank input, when asserted (Le., TTL HIGH), disables the video input of the 1903 and sets the output to
approximately VHV. This input is independent of the input
signal and operates with TTL levels.

It is essential that the VHV supply be brought up before
VEE and Vee when using the higher voltage version of the
1903. Supply sequencing is less important when VHV is less
than -70V. The recommended sequence is VHV, Vee then
VEE. If sequencing is not possible, the supplies should be
brought up within a few milliseconds of each other.

Reference Voltage
VREF is a zener reference with a nominal output voltage
of 5.5V ±5%, and can source up to 4 rnA. It is used in
adjusting offset and gain.

Power Dissipation

Power Supply
Power supplies of 20V (±5%) and -10.5V (±5%) are
required for proper operation. The negative supply can be
set to -12V, but will increase the intemal power dissipation
and case temperature. VHV is a function of the 1903 version
selected. The maximum voltage is -95V, allowing up to 80
Vp_p output signals. The absolute maxi{l1um voltage, to
preclude damage, is equal to the VHV listed'in the specification table, plus 5V. For example, the 1903-0 absolute maximum is -100V. It is recommended that the high voltage
supply not exceed the listed VHV.

The 1903 power dissipation will vary in accordance to
load requirements and pixel size. The 1903 flat pack is
designed to provide a low thermal resistance path from the
hybrid circuit to an external heat sink. Mounting flanges
provide solid mechanical and thermal attachment of the
package to the heat sink. In addition, the package is electrically isolated 50 no mounting insulators are needed and the
heat sink can be at any convenient voltage potential. (See
Table I.)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

TC7211 A (LCD DRIVER)

The TC7211A (LCD DecoderlDriver) and TC7212A
(LED Decoder/Driver) is a direct drive, 4-digit, 7-segment
display decoder and driver.
The TC7211 A drives conventional LCDs. An RC oscillator, divider chain, backplane driver, and 28-segment outputs are provided on a single CMOS chip. The segment
drivers supply square waves of the same frequency as the
backplane, but in-phase for an OFF segment and out-ofphase for an ON segment. The net DC voltage applied
between driver segment and backplane is zero.
The TC7212A Drives common -anode LED displays
with 28 current controlled, low leakage, open, N-Channel
output transistors. The brightness control input can be
used as a digital display enable. A varying voltage at the
control input will allow continuous display brightness control.
The TC7211A (LCD) and TC7212A (LED) requires
only 4 data bit inputs and 4 digit select signals to interface
with multiplexed BCD or binary output devices (such as the
ICM7217, ICM7226, ICL71 03 and TC7135). The4-bitbinary
input code is decoded into the 7-segment alphanumeric
code known as "Code B."
The "Code B" output format results in a 0 to 9, -, E, H, •
L, P or blank display. True BCD or binary inputs will be
correctly decoded to the 7-segment display format.
The CMOS TC7211A and TC7212A are available in a
40-pin epoxy dual-in-line package and a compact 60-pin
flat package. All inputs are protected against static discharge.

4-DIGIT CMOS DISPLAY
DECODER/DRIVER
TC7211A
TC7212A
BASIC OPERATION
The TC7211A drives 4-digit by 7-segment LCOs. The
device contains 28 individual segment drivers, a backplane
driver, an on-chip oscillator, and a divider chain to generate
the backplane signal.
The 28 CMOS segment drivers and backplane driver
contain ratioed N- and P-channel transistors for identical
"ON" resistance. The equal resistances eliminate the DC
output driver component resulting from unequal rise and fall
times. This ensures maximum LCD life.
The backplane output driver can be disabled by grounding the OSCILLATOR input (pin 36). The 28 output segment
drivers can therefore be synchronized directly to an input
signal at the backplane (BP) terminal (pin 5). Several slave
devices may be cascaded to the backplane output of a
master device. The backplane signal may also be derived
from an external source. These features permit interfacing
to single backplane LCOs with characters in multiples of
four. (See Figure 1.)
Each slave's backplane input represents only a 200 pF
capacitive load to the master backplane driver (comparable
to one additional segment). The number of slave devices
drivable by a master device is therefore set by the larger
display backplane capacitive load. The master backplane
output will drive the display backplane of 16 one-half-inch
characters with rise and fall times under 5 ~. This represents
a system with three slave devices and a fourth master device
driving the backplane.

If more than four devices are slaved together, the
backplane signal should be derived externally and all
TC7211 A devices slaved to it. The external drive signal
must drive a high capacitive load with 1J.1S to 2 ~ rise and
fall times. The backplane frequency is normally 125 Hz. At
lower display ambient temperatures, the frequency may be
reduced to compensate for display response time.
The on-chip RC oscillator free-runs at approximately
16 kHz. A +128 circuit provides the 125 Hz backplane
frequency. The oscillator frequency may be reduced by
connecting an external capacitor between the oscillator
terminal and V+. (See typical operating characteristics
curves.)
The free-running oscillator may be overridden (if desired) by an external clock. The backplane driver, however,
must not be disabled during the external clock's negative or
low portion, as this will result in a DC drive component
being applied to the LCD, limiting the LC~'s life. To prevent backplane driver disabling, the oscillator input should
be driven from the positive supply to no less than one-fifth
the supply voltage above ground. A backplane disable
signal will not be sensed if the driving signal remains above
ground by one-fifth the supply voltage. An alternate method
for externally driving the oscillator permits the oscillator input
to swing the full supply voltage range. The oscillator input
signal duty cycle is skewed so the low portion duration is less
than 1 Ils. The backplane disable sensing circuit will not
respond to such a short signal.

The brightness input may also be operated digitally as
a display enable. At a logic 1 the display is fully "ON" and at
a logic signal of varying duty cycle also. When operating with
LEOs at a higher temperatures andlor higher supply voltages, the device power dissipation may need to be reduced
to prevent excessive chip temperature rise. The maximum
TC7212AM LED Decoder/Driver
The TC7212AM directly drives four digit, seven segment, common-anode LED displays. The 28 segment drivers are low leakage, current controlled, open drain Nchannel MOS transistors.
A brightness input (pin 5) can be used in two ways to
control output transistor drain current. The voltage at the
brightness control input is transferred to the output transistor
gate for "ON" segments. The brightness voltage directly
modulates the segment drivers "ON" resistance. A variable
brightness control may be implemented with a single potentiometer (Figure 4). A high value potentiomenter (100 kO to
1MO ) will minimize power consumption. The maximum
power dissipation is 1 watt at 25° C. Derate linearly above 35°
C to 500 mW at 70°C (-15 mWfO C above 35°C). Power
dissipation for the device is given by:

The TC7211A accepts multiplexed binary or BCD input
data at pin 27 (LSB) through pin 30 (MSB). Pins 31 (LSD)
through 34 (MSD) are the digit select lines. When the digit
select line is taken to logic "1", input data is decoded and
stored in the enabled output latch of the selected digit. More
than one digit select line may be activated simultaneously.
The same character will be written into all selected digits.

where VFLEO is the LED forward voltage drop, ISEG is segment current, and nseg is the number of "ON" segments. Ifthe

current can be limited through the brightness input to keep
power dissipation within the limits described above.
The display may be blanked (all segments OFF) by
applying the input code 1111 or by driving the brightness pin
witha logic). If brightness control is not needed, pin 5 should

FEATURES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

TC7211AM (LCD DRIVER)

The TC7211 AM (LCD Decoder/driver) and TC7211 AM
are CMOS direct drive, 4-digit, 7-segment display decoder
and driver. The devices are bus compatible making microprocessor controlled displays possible. Two chip select
signals control data and digit select code latching prior to
decoding and display. External data latches are unnecessary.
The TC7211AM drives conventional LCDs. An RC oscillator, divider chain, backplane driver, and 28-segment
outputs are provided on a single CMOS chip. The segment
drivers supply square waves of the same frequency as the
backplane, but in-phase for an OFF segment and out:>fphase for an ON segment. The net DC voltage apphed
between driver segment and backplane is near zero maximizing display lifetime.
The TC7212AM drives common-anode LED displays
with 28 current controlled, low leakage, open drain, NChannel output transistors. The brightness control input
can be used as a digital display enable. A varying voltage
at the control input will allow continous display brightness
control.
The four bit binary input code is decoded into the
seven segment alphanumeric code known as "Code B".
The "Code B" output format results in a 0 to 9,-, E, H, L, P
or blank display. True BCD or binary inputs will be correctly
decoded to the seven segment display format.

2. Due to the SCR structure inherent in the CMOS process,
connecting any tenninal to voltages greater than V' or less

BUS COMPATIBLE, 4-DIGIT
CMOS DECODERIDRIVER
TC7211AM
TC7212AM
BASIC OPERATION
The TC7211AM drives 4-digit, 7-segment LCOs. This
device contains 28 individual segment drivers, a backplane
driver, a self-contained oscillator, and a divider chain to
generate the backplane signal.
The 28 CMOS segment drivers and backplane driver
contain ratioed N- and P-channel transistors for identical
"ON" resistance. The equal resistances eliminate the DC
output driver component resulting from unequal rise and fall
times. This ensures maximum LCD life.
The backplane output driver can be disabled by grounding the OSCILLATOR input (pin 36). The 28 output segment
drivers can therefore be synchronized directly to an input
signal at the backplane (BP) terminal (pin 5). Several slave
devices may be cascaded to the backplane output of a
master device. The backplane signal may also be derived
from an external source. These features permit interfacing
to single backplane LCOs with characters in mUltiples of
four.
Each slave's backplane input represents only a 200 pF
capacitive load to the master backplane driver (comparable
to one additional segment). The number of slave devices
drivable by a master device is therefore set by the larger
display backplane capacitive load. The master backplane
output will drive the display backplane of 16 one-half-inch
characters with rise and fall times under 51J.S. This represents
a system with three slave devices and a fourth master device
driving the backplane. (See Figure 1.)
If more than four devices are slaved together, the
backplane signal should be derived externally and all
TC7211AM devices slaved to it. The external drive signal
must drive a high capacitive load with 1~s to 2 ~s rise and
fall times. The backplane frequency is normally 125 Hz. At
lower display ambient temperatures, the frequency may be
reduced to compensate for display response time.
The on-chip RC oscillator free-runs at approximately
16 kHz. A +128 circuit provides the 125 Hz backplane
frequency. The oscillator frequency may be reduced by
connecting an external capacitor between the oscillator
terminal and V+. (See typical operating characteristics
curves.)
The free-running oscillator may be overridden (if desired) by an external clock. The backplane driver, however,
must not be disabled during the external clock's negative or
low portion, as this will result in a DC drive component
being applied to the LCD, limiting the LCD's life. To prevent backplane driver disabling, the oscillator input should
be driven from the positive supply to no less than one-fifth
the supply voltage above ground. A backplane disable
signal will not be sensed if the driving signal remains above
ground by one-fifth the supply voltage. An altemate method
for externally driving the oscillator permits the oscillator input
to swing the full supply voltage range.

The oscillator input signal duty cycle is skewed so the low
portion duration is less than 1 ~s. The backplane disable
sensing circuit will not respond to such a short signal.

Figure 3. TC7211AM Driving an 8-Digit LCD Display
in Master/Slave Configuration

TC7212AM LED Decoder/Driver
The TC7212AM directly drives 4-digit, 7-segment, common-anode LED displays. The 28 segment drivers are low
leakage, current controlled, open drain N·channel MOS
transistors.
A brightness input (pin 5) can be used in two ways to
control output transistor drain current. The voltage at the
brightness control input is transferred to the output transistor
gate for "ON" segments. The brightness voltage directly
modulates the segment drivers "ON" resistance. A variable
brightness control may be implemented with a single potentiometer (Figure 4). A high value potentiomenter (1 00 kil
to 1 Mil ) will minimize power consumption.
The brightness input may also be operated digitally as
a display enable. At a logic 1 the display is fully "ON" and at
a logic signal of varying duty cycle also. When operating with
LEOs at a higher temperatures and/or higher supply voltages, the device power dissipation may need to be reduced
to prevent excessive chip temperature rise. The maximum
power dissipation is 1 watt at 25° C. Derate linearly above
35°C to 500 mW at 70°C (-15 mW/oC above 35°C). Power
dissipation for the device is given by:
P = (V+ -VFLED) (ISEG) (nsEG)
where VFLED is the LED forward voltage drop, ISEG is segment current, and nseg is the number of "ON" segments. If

BUS COMPATIBLE, 4·DIGIT
CMOS DECODER/DRIVER
TC7211AM
TC7212AM
the device is operated at elevated temperatures, the segment current can be limited through the brightness input to
keep power dissipation within the limits described above.
The display may be blanked (all segments OFF) by
applying the input code 1111 or by driving the brightness pin
witha logic ). If brightness control is not needed, pin 5 should
be tied to 5.0 V.

Input Configuration and Output Codes
The TC7211AM accepts a 4-bit, true binary (positive
level =logic "1") input at pin 27 (LSB) through pin 30 (MSB).
The binary input is decoded to the 7 -segment output known
as Code B. The output display format is 0 to 9, - , E, H, L,
P and blank display (see Table I). Segment assignments are
shown in Figure 2. The TC7211AM will correctly decode
binary and BCD true codes to a 7-segment output.
The TC7211 AM is designed to interface with a data bus
and display data under microprocessor control. Four data
inputs (pins 27-30) and two digit select input bits (pins 31
and 32) are written into input buffer latches. The rising edge
of either chip select causes data to be latched, decoded and
stored in the selected digit ouptut data latch. The 2-bit digit
code selects the appropriate output digit latch. The 4-bit
display data word is decoded to the "Code B" 7-segment
output format.
For applications where bus compatibility is not required,
refertothe TC7211A (LCD) 4-digitdecoderdriverdatasheet.
This device is designed to accept multiplexed BCD/binary
input data for display under the control of four separate digit
select control signals.

PERIPHERAL DRIVER
TC9405
GENERAL DESCRIPTION

APPLICATIONS

The TC9405 is a serial input, 16-bit parallel-latched
output shift register. Master/slave data latches and high
output power MOS switching transistors combine to make
the TC9405 an ideal interface circuit between microprocessor 1/0 ports and high currentlvoltage peripherals. The
CMOS construction limits quiescent power dissipation to
1 mW.
The TC9405 common-source, open-drain MOS outputs sustain 15V in the OFF state and maintain leakage
currents under 100 1lA. The low output ON resistance
allows all 16 channels to simultaneously sink 60 rnA with a
saturation voltage of 0.5V maximum and power dissipation
of 480 mW. Typical power dissipation of 16 channels sinking
60 rnA is only 325 mW.
Dual rank latches and a STROBE input permit glitchfree data updating. With the STROBE input high, data is
entered into master latches on each rising edge of the
CLOCK input. When STROBE is brought low, data is
transferred to the slave latches simultaneously. An OUTPUT
ENABLE (OE) input is also included, so that all outputs can
be turned off. Both STROBE and OUTPUT ENABLE are
asynchronous, level-sensitive inputs.
Successive connection of serial data outputs to serial
data inputs make longer length serial-to-parallel conversions possible. Device cascading makes the TC9405 an
ideal thermal printhead, high-resolution LED bar-graph, or
incandescent lamp driver.

Teledyne Components' CMOS/DMOS analog switches
feature high-speed, low-power CMOS input logic and level
translation circuitry, and high-speed, low-capacitance, lateral DMOS switches. CMOS and lateral DMOS circuitry are
fabricated together on a single silicon chip. The CDG4308
and CDG4309 use the same die as CDG308 and CDG309;
the extra isolating pin between switch input and output
increases isolation by 6 dB.

SWITCH CONTACTS

APPLICATIONS

Switches are bidirectional (analog input can be to source
or drain). However, for optimum performance in video applications, connect input to source and output to drain. (See
Figure 1.)

Very Low Distortion Circuit for Low
Frequency/Large Signal Applications

POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING CIRCUIT
By inserting 1 kf.l resistors in series with V+ and Vpower supply lines, and decoupling both pins at the device
socket, it is possible to improve video switch power supply
rejection ratios by 50 dB at frequencies of 20 MHz and
higher. (See Figure 2.)

y+

The circuit shown in Figure 3 provides very low distortion «O.l%) and high off isolation (>90 dB) at signal levels
equal to the supply voltage. The signal passes through a "T"
switch configuration and at the same time modulates the
power supply. This modulation maintains a constant ON
resistance, rOS(ON), which in turn reduces distortion. R5 is for
bypassing the power supply and has a typical yalue of 1 kQ;
R4 should be a value that can be accommodated by the
signal source as load; R3 is only necessary at loads lower

than 100n and should be selected during initial circuit
design; C1 has to be large enough for the lowest signal to
pass and C2 will have to bypass all signals. R1 and R2 set
up the logic "1" level for the control input and should be set
t05V.

CDG4308
CDG4309

Logic Inverter
The circuit shown in Figure 4 provides logic inversion
with two resistors and one switch. It does not require additionallogic parts. The resistors divide the supply voltage to a
5V level when high, and are switched to a low level via the
switch. This configuration allows a single-pole, single-throw
switch to be changed into a single-pole, double-throw switch.

4-CHANNEL CMOSIDMOS HIGH-FREQUENCY MULTIPLEXER
FEATURES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•

Teledyne CMOS/DMOS Analog Multiplexers feature
high-speed, low-power 5 volt CMOS input logic and level
translation circuitry and high speed, low capacitance Lateral
DMOS switches. CMOS and Lateral DMOS circuitry are
fabricated together on a single silicon chip. This part is
designed for applications where high "off" isolation at high
frequencies is needed. The 14 pin configuration gives a
compact board layout without impacting 'off" isolation and by
use of the enable allows higher levels of multiplexing.
All devices contain diodes to protect inputs against
damage due to high static voltages or electric fields; however, it is advised that precautions betaken notto exceed the
maximum recommended input voltages. All unused inputs
must be connected to an appropriate logic level (either Vee
or GND).

The TC4201, TC4202 and TC4203 are quad CMOS
analog switches, specifically designed for low supply voltage applications. Special care was taken to reduce crosstalk and feedthrough, while maintaining uniform "on" resistance at supply voltages as low as ±1.5V. This also results
in extremely low charge transfer during switching, typically
5 pC, compared to 30 pC with similar devices.
Charge transfer is an extremely important consideration
in the design of sample-and-hold circuits, lOW-level analog
signal switching, and interfacing to high-input impedances,
such as those presented by analog-to-digital converters.
This switch family offers four independent single-pole,
single-throw (SPST) circuits and features single- or dualsupply operation, with analog input voltage range equal to
the supply Voltage. The CMOS design requires very low
supply current.
The TC4201 consists of four nonnally-open (Form A)
contacts.
The TC4202 consists of four·nonnally-open (Form 8)
contacts.
The TC4203 combines two Form A contacts with two
Form 8 contacts, and may be configured as two Form C
(SPDT) circuits.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

The TC441 , TC442 and TC443 are CMOS quad, SPST
analog switches with data address latches. Their pinouts
match the "201/221" analog switch configuration. The write
input (WR, pin 12) is not used on the 2011221. The address
latch is transparent when WR is tied low.
This switch family features single- or dual-supply operation, with analog input voltage range equal to the supply
voltage. The CMOS design requires very low supply current.
The TC441 has four normally-closed (Form 8) contacts,
the TC442 has four normally-open contacts (Form A), and
the TC443 has two normally-open and two normally-closed
contacts.
The TC443 can be configured as two DPST (Form C)
switches.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

The TC444, TC445 , TC446 and TC447 are CMOS
analog switches offering low on-resistance at low supply
voltages. Each provides for transparent (nonlatched) or
latched addresses, making them ideal for microprocessor
interface applications.
This switch family features single- or dual-supply operation, with analog input range equal to supply voltages.
The CMOS design requires very low supply current.
The TC444 is configured as two single-pole, threeposition switches. Either switch can be independently selected (transparent or latched) for its own A or B position.
(See TC444 Switch Circuit.)
Also, both switches are put in the C position (both open)
by pulling the DISABLE input low. These various switch
positions can be latched using the WRITE (WR) input. This
switch is especially useful in muHi-path operations requiring
complete isolation.
The TC445 is configured as four independent, normallyopen switches. The WR input is used to latch the switches
in any selected mode, or may be held low for transparent
operation.
The TC446 has the same features as the TC445 , except
the switches are normally closed.
The TC447 provides two normally-open and two normally-closed switches. Its operation is the same as the
TC445 and TC446.
The TC444 is pin compatible with the AD7592. The
TC445ITC446 is pin compatible with the AD7590/AD7591.

•
•
•

The TC232 is a dual RS-232 transmitter/receiver that
complies with EIA RS-232C guidelines and is ideal for all
RS-232C communication links. This device has a SV power
supply and two charge pump voltage converters that produce
±10V power supplies.
The TC232 has four level translators. Two are RS·232
transmitters that convert TTUCMOS input levels to 9V RS·
232 outputs. The other two translators are RS-232 receivers
that convert RS-232 inputs to SV TTUCMOS output levels.
The receivers have a nominal threshold of 1.3V, a typical
hysteresis of O.SV, and can operate with up to ±30V inputs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The TC232 power supply consists of two charge pumps.
One uses external capacitor Cl to double the +SV input to
+10V, with output impedance of about 2000. The other
uses C2 to invert +10V to -10V, with overall output
impedance of 4S00 (including effects of +SV to + 1OV
doubler impedance).
The clock in the doubler circuit will start at >=4.2V in the
typical part, but external loads may make this point rise to as
high as 4.SV with a load of 2 k.Q on each of the two output
Voltages.
Because of this, use of the doubler and inverter to run
external circuits should be limited. The maximum current
should be no more than 2.S rnA from the +1 OV and -1 OV in
order to guarantee start-up of the doubler clock.

DUAL RS-232 TRANSMITTER!
RECEIVER AND POWER SUPPLY
TC232
The test circuit employs 221lF capacitors for C1 to C4,
butthe value is not critical. These capacitors usually are lowcost aluminum electrolytic capacitors, or polyester if size is
critical.
.
Increasing C1 and C2 to 47 IlF lowers the output
impedance of the +1 OV doubler and the -10V inverter by
the change in the ESR of the capacitors.
Increasing C3 and C4lowers ripple on the ±1 OV voltage
outputs and 16 kHz ripple on the RS-232 outputs. Where
size is critical, the value of C1 to C4 can be lowered to
1 IlF. The use of a low ESR-value capacitor will help lower
the output ripple and keep the output impedance of the
±10V as low as possible.

With Vee at 5V, the outputs will go from (V+-0.6V) to Vwith no load and will swing ±9V when loaded with 3 kil. The
minimum output voltage swing, with Vee at 4.5V and at
maximum ambient temperature, is ±5V. This conforms to
RS-232 specifications for "worst-case" conditions.
EIA RS-232C specs limit the slew rate at output to
less than 30V/lJ.S.
The powered-down output impedance (Vee =OV) is a
minimum of 300n with ±2V applied to outputs.
The outputs are short-circuit-protected and can be shortcircuited to ground indefinitely.

Dual Transmitter

TC232 receivers meet RS-232C input specifications.
Input impedance is between 3 kil and 7 kil. Switching
thresholds are within the ±3V limits, and the receivers
withstand up to ±30V inputs. RS-232 and TTUCMOS input
compatible, the receivers have 0.8V VIL and 2.4V VIH with
0.5V hysteresis to reject noise.
The TTUCMOS compatible receiver output is low when
RS-232 input is greater than 2.4V. It is high when input is
floating or between +0.8Vand -30V.

TC232 transmitters are CMOS inverters driven by ±1 OV
internally-generated voltages. The input is TTUCMOS
compatible, with a logic threshold of about 26% of Vee
(1.3V for 5V Vee). The input of an unused transmitter can
be left unconnected. An internal 400 kil pull-up resistor
connected between the transmitter input and Vee pulls the
input high and forces the unused transmitter output to the
low state.
