Features
Description
• 16-Bit/14-Bit Binary Three-State Latched Outputs Plus
Polarity and Overrange
The ICL7104, combined with the ICL8052 or ICL8068,
forms a member of Intersil’ high performance A/D converter
family. The ICL7104-16, performs the analog switching and
digital function for a 16-bit binary A/D converter, with full
three-state output, UART handshake capability, and other
outputs for easy interfacing. The ICL7014-14 is a 14-bit
version. The analog section, as with all Intersil’ integrating
converters, provides fully precise Auto-Zero, Auto-Polarity
(including ±0 null indication), single reference operation,
very high input impedance, true input integration over a
constant period for maximum EMI rejection, fully
rationmetric operation, over-range indication, and a
medium quality built-in reference. The chip pair also offers
optional input buffer gain for high sensitivity applications, a
built-in clock oscillator, and output signals for providing an
external Auto-Zero capability in preconditioning circuitry,
synchronizing external multiplexers, etc.
• Ideally Suited for Interface to UARTs and
Microprocessors
• Conversion on Demand or Continuously
• Guaranteed Zero Reading for 0V Input
• True Polarity at Zero Count for Precise Null Detection
• Single Reference Voltage for True Ratiometric
Operation
• Onboard Clock and Reference
• Auto-Zero, Auto-Polarity
• Accuracy Guaranteed to 1 Count
• All Outputs TTL Compatible
• ±4V Analog Input Range

MODE
INPUT LO: Direct output mode where CE/LD, HBEN, MBEN and LBEN act as inputs directly
controlling byte outputs. If pulsed HI causes immediate entry into handshake mode (see Figure
13). If HI, enables CE/LD, HBEN, MBEN and LBEN as outputs. Handshake mode will be entered
and data output as in Figures 11 and 12 at conversion completion.
28
R/H
RUN/HOLD: Input HI conversions continuously performed every 217(-16) or 215(-14) clock
pulses. Input LO conversion in progress completed, converter will stop in Auto-Zero 7 counts
before input integrate.

CE/LD
CHIP ENABLE/ LOAD: WITH MODE (PIN 27) LO, CE/LD serves as a master output enable;
when HI, the bit outputs and POL, OR are disabled. With MODE HI, pin serves as a LOAD strobe
(-ve going) used in handshake mode. See Figures 11 and 12.

3.
4.
5.
θJA is measured with the component mounted on an evaluation PC board in free air.
For supply voltages less than ±15V, the absolute maximum input voltage is equal to the supply voltage.
Short circuit may be to ground or either supply. Rating applies to 70oC ambient temperature.
Input voltages may exceed the supply voltages provided the input current is limited to ±100µA.
Connecting any digital inputs or outputs to voltages greater than V+ or less than GND may cause destructive device latchup. For this
reason it is recommended that the power supply to the ICL7104 be established before any inputs from sources not on that supply are
applied.

NOTES:
11. The input bias currents are junction leakage currents which approximately double for every 10oC increase in the junction temperature,
TJ . Due to limited production test time, the input bias currents are measured with junctions at ambient temperature. In normal operation
the junction temperature rises above the ambient temperature as a result of internal power dissipation, PD. TJ = TA + RθJAPD where
RθJA is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient. A heat sink can be used to reduce temperature rise.
12. This is the only component that causes error in dual-slope converter.

NOTES:
13. Tested with low dielectric absorption integrating capacitor.
14. The input bias currents are junction leakage currents which approximately double for every 10oC increase in the junction temperature,
TJ . Due to limited production test time, the input bias currents are measured with junctions at ambient temperature. In normal operation the junction temperature rises above the ambient temperature as a result of internal power dissipation, PD. TJ = TA + RθJAPD
where RθJA is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient. A heat sink can be used to reduce temperature rise.
15. The temperature range can be extended to 70oC and beyond if the Auto-Zero and Reference capacitors are increased to absorb the
high temperature leakage of the 8068. See note 14 above.

Detailed Description
ANALOG SECTION
Deintegrate Phase III (Figures 6C and 6D)
Figure 6 shows the equivalent Circuit of the Analog Section
of both the ICL7104/8052 and the ICL7104/8068 in the 3
different phases of operation. If the Run/Hold pin is left open
or tied to V+, the system will perform conversions at a rate
determined by the clock frequency: 131,072 for - 16 and
32,368 for - 14 clock periods per cycle (see Figure 8
conversion timing).
During the Deintegrate phase, the switch drive logic uses the
output of the polarity F/F in determining whether to close
switches 6 and 9 or 7 and 8. If the input signal was positive,
switches 7 and 8 are closed and a voltage which is VREF
more negative than during Auto-Zero is impressed on the
buffer input. Negative inputs will cause +VREF to be applied
to the buffer input via switches 6 and 9. Thus, the reference
capacitor generates the equivalent of a (+) reference or a (-)
reference from the single reference voltage with negligible
error. The reference voltage returns the output of the integrator to the zero-crossing point established in Phase I. The
time, or number of counts, required to do this is proportional
to the input voltage. Since the Deintegrate phase can be
twice as long as the Input integrate phase, the input voltage
required to give a full scale reading = 2VREF .
Auto-Zero Phase I (Figure 6A)
During Auto-Zero, the input of the buffer is shorted to analog
ground thru switch 2, and switch 1 closes a loop around the
integrator and comparator. The purpose of the loop is to
charge the Auto-Zero capacitor until the integrator output no
longer changes with time. Also, switches 4 and 9 recharge
the reference capacitor to VREF .
Input Integrate Phase II (Figure 6B)
During input integrate the Auto-Zero loop is opened and the
analog input is connected to the buffer input thru switch 3.
(The reference capacitor is still being charged to VREF
during this time.) If the input signal is zero, the buffer,
integrator and comparator will see the same voltage that
existed in the previous sate (Auto-Zero). Thus the integrator
output will not change but will remain stationary during the
entire Input Integrate cycle. If VIN is not equal to zero, an
unbalanced condition exists compared to the Auto-Zero
phase, and the integrator will generate a ramp whose slope
is proportional to VIN . At the end of this phase, the sign of
the ramp is latched into the polarity F/F.
NOTE: Once a zero crossing is detected, the system automatically
reverts to Auto-Zero phase for the leftover Deintegrate time (unless
RUN/HOLD is manipulated, see RUN/HOLD input in detailed
description, digital section).

FIGURE 7. ADDING BUFFER GAIN TO ICL8068
Buffer Gain
At the end of the auto-zero interval, the instantaneous noise
voltage on the auto-zero capacitor is stored, and subtracts
from the input voltage while adding to the reference voltage
during the next cycle. The result is that this noise voltage
effectively is somewhat greater than the input noise voltage
of the buffer itself during integration. By introducing some
voltage gain into the buffer, the effect of the auto-zero noise
(referred to the input) can be reduced to the level of the
inherent buffer noise. This generally occurs with a buffer gain
of between 3 and 10. Further increase in buffer gain merely
increases the total offset to be handled by the auto-zero
loop, and reduces the available buffer and integrator swings,
without improving the noise performance of the system. The
circuit
recommended
for
doing
this
with
the
ICL8068/ICL7104 is shown in Figure 7. With careful layout,
the circuit shown can achieve effective input noise voltages
on the order of 1 to 2µV, allowing full 16-bit use with full scale
inputs of a low as 150mV. Note that at this level, thermoelectric EMFs between PC boards, IC pins, etc., due to local
temperature changes can be very troublesome. For further
discussion, see Application Note AN030.
ICL8052 vs ICL8068
The ICL8052 offers significantly lower input leakage currents
than the ICL8068, and may be found preferable in systems
with high input impedances. However, the ICL8068 has
substantially lower noise voltage, and for systems where
system noise is a limiting factor, particularly in low signal
level conditions, will give better performance.

Component Value Selection
ratiometric errors. A good test for dielectric absorption is to
use the capacitor with the input tied to the reference.
For optimum performance of the analog section, care must
be taken in the selection of values for the integrator capacitor
and resistor, auto-zero capacitor, reference voltage, and
conversion rate. These values must be chosen to suit the
particular application.
Integrating Resistor
This ratiometric condition should read half scale (100...000)
and 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 Capacitor
The integrating resistor is determined by the full scale input
voltage and the output current of the buffer used to charge
the integrator capacitor. This current should be small
compared to the output short circuit current such that
thermal effects are kept to a minimum and linearity is not
affected. Values of 5 to 40µA give good results with a
nominal of 20µA. The exact value may be chosen by:
full scale voltage (see note)
R INT = ------------------------------------------------------------------------20µA
NOTE: If gain is used in the buffer amplifier then
( Buffe rGain ) (full scale voltage)
R INT = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------20µA
The size of the auto-zero capacitor has some influence on
the noise of the system, a large capacitor giving less noise.
The reference capacitor should be large enough such that
stray capacitance to ground from its nodes is negligible.
NOTE: When gain is used in the buffer amplifier the reference
capacitor should be substantially larger than the auto-zero capacitor.
As a rule of thumb, the reference capacitor should be approximately
the gain times the value of the auto-zero capacitor. The dielectric
absorption of the reference cap and auto-zero cap are only important
at power-on or when the circuit is recovering from an overload. Thus,
smaller or cheaper caps can be used here if accurate readings are
not required for the first few seconds of recovery.
Reference Voltage
Integrating Capacitor
The product of integrating resistor and capacitor is selected
to give 9 volt swing for full scale inputs. This is a compromise
between possibly saturating the integrator (at +14 volts) due
to tolerance build-up between the resistor, capacitor and
clock and the errors a lower voltage swing could induce due
to offsets referred to the output of the comparator. In
general, the value of CINT is given by:
 (32768 for - 16) × 20µA × clock period
 (8192 for -14) 
C INT = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Integrator Output Voltage Swing
A very important characteristic of the integrating capacitor is
that it have low dielectric absorption to prevent roll-over or
The analog input required to generate a full scale output is
VIN = 2VREF .
The stability of the reference voltage is a major factor in the
overall absolute accuracy of the converter. The resolution of
the ICL7104 at 16 bits is one part in 65536, or 15.26ppm.
Thus, if the reference has a temperature coefficient of
50ppm/C (on board reference) a temperature change of
1/3C will introduce a one-bit absolute error. For this reason,
it is recommended that an external high quality reference be
used where the ambient temperature is not controlled or
where high-accuracy absolute measurements are being
made.

Detailed Description
ensure a low level when the pin is left open), the converter is
in its “Direct” output mode, where the output data is directly
accessible under the control of the chip and byte enable
inputs. When the MODE input is pulsed high, the converter
enters the UART handshake mode and outputs the data in
three bytes for the 7104-16 or two bytes for the 7104-14 then
returns to “direct” mode. When the MODE input is left high,
the converter will output data in the handshake mode at the
end of every conversion cycle. (See section entitled “Handshake Mode” for further details).
DIGITAL SECTION
The digital section includes the clock oscillator circuit, a
16-bit or 14-bit binary counter with output latches and TTLcompatible three-state output drivers, polarity, over-range
and control logic and UART handshake logic, as shown in
the Block Diagram Figure 9 (16-bit version shown).
Throughout this description, logic levels will be referred to as
“low” or “high”. The actual logic levels are defined under
“ICL7104 Electrical Specification”. For minimum power consumption, all inputs should swing from GND (low) to V+
(high). Inputs driven from TTL gates should have 3 - 5kΩ
pullup resistors added for maximum noise immunity.
STATUS Output
During a conversion cycle, the STATUS output goes high at
the beginning of Input Integrate (Phase II), and goes low
one-half clock period after new data from the conversion has
been stored in the output latches. See Figure 8 for details of
this timing. This signal may be used as a “data valid” flag
(data never changes while STATUS is low) to drive interrupts, or for monitoring the status of the converter.
MODE Input
The MODE input is used to control the output mode of the
converter. When the MODE pin is connected to GND or left
open (this input is provided with a pulldown resistor to

FIGURE 10. RUN/HOLD OPERATION
Run/Hold Input
When the Run/Hold input is connected to V+ or left open
(this input has pullup resistor to ensure a high level when the
pin is left open), the circuit will continuously perform
conversion cycles, updating the output latches at the end of
every Deintegrate (Phase III) portion of the conversion cycle
(See Figure 8). (See under “Handshake Mode” for
exception.) In this mode of operation, the conversion cycle
will be performed in 131,072 for 7104-16 and 32768 for
7104-14 clock periods, regardless of the resulting value.
If Run/Hold goes low at any time during Deintegrate (Phase
III) after the zero crossing has occurred, the circuit will
immediately terminate Deintegrate and jump to Auto-Zero.
This feature can be used to eliminate the time spent in
Deintegrate after the zero-crossing. If Run/Hold stays or
goes low, the converter will ensure a minimum Auto-Zero
time, and then wait in Auto-Zero until the Run/Hold input
goes high. The converter will begin the Integrate (Phase II)
portion of the next conversion (and the STATUS output will
go high) seven clock periods after the high level is detected
at Run/Hold. See Figure 10 for details.
Using the Run/Hold input in this manner allows an easy
“convert on demand” interface to be used. The converter
may be held at idle in Auto-Zero with Run/Hold low. When
Run/Hold goes high the conversion is started, and when the
STATUS output goes low the new data is valid (or transferred) to the UART - see Handshake Mode). Run/Hold may
now go low terminating Deintegrate and ensuring a minimum
Auto-Zero time before stopping to wait for the next
conversion. Alternately, Run/Hold can be used to minimize
conversion time by ensuring that it 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 it to the CLOCK3 (-14), CLOCK2
(-16) Output. In this mode the conversion time is dependent
on the input value measured. Also refer to Intersil Application
Bulletin A030 for a discussion of the effects this will have on
Auto-Zero performance.
If the Run/Hold input goes low and stays low during AutoZero (Phase I), the converter will simply stop at the end of
the Auto-Zero and wait for Run/Hold to go high. As above,
Integrate (Phase II) begins seven clock periods after the high
level is detected.
Direct Mode
When the MODE pin is left at a low level, the data outputs
[bits 1 through 8 low order byte, See Table 3 for format of
middle (-16) and high order bytes] are accessible under
control of the byte and CHIP ENABLE terminals as inputs.
These ENABLE inputs are all active low, and are provided
with pullup resistors to ensure an inactive high level when
left open. When the CHIP ENABLE input is low, taking a byte
ENABLE input low will allow the outputs of that byte to
become active (three-stated on). This allows a variety of
parallel data accessing techniques to be used. The timing
requirements for these outputs are shown under AC
Specifications and Table 1.
It should be noted that these control inputs are asynchronous with respect to the converter clock - the data may be
accessed at any time. Thus it is possible to access the data
while it is being updated, which could lead to scrambled
data. Synchronizing the access of data with the conversion
cycle by monitoring the STATUS output will prevent this.
Data is never updated while STATUS is low. Also note the
potential bus conflict described under “Initial Clear Circuitry”.
Handshake Mode
The handshake output mode is provided as an alternative
means of interfacing the ICL7104 to digital systems, where
the A/D converter becomes active in controlling the flow of
data instead of passively responding to chip and byte
ENABLE inputs. This mode is specifically designed to allow
a direct interface between the ICL7104 and industry-standard UARTs (such as the Intersil CMOS UARTs, IM6402/3)
with no external logic required. When triggered into the
handshake mode, the ICL7104 provides all the control and
flag signals necessary to sequence the three (ICL7106-16)
or two (ICL7104-14) bytes of data into the UART and initiate
their transmission in serial form. This greatly eases the task
and reduces the cost of designing remote data acquisition
stations using serial data transmission to minimize the
number of lines to the central controlling processor.

ICL8052/ICL7104, ICL8068/ICL7104
Entry into the handshake mode will occur if either of two
conditions are fulfilled; first, if new data is latched (i.e., a
conversion is completed) while MODE pin (pin 27) is high, in
which case entry occurs at the end of the latch cycle; or
secondly, if the MODE pin goes from low to high, when entry
will occur immediately (if new data is being latched, entry is
delayed to the end of the latch cycle). While in the
handshake mode, data latching is inhibited, and the MODE
pin is ignored. (Note that conversion cycles will continue in
the normal manner). This allows versatile initiation of handshake operation without danger of false data generation; if
the MODE pin is held high, every conversion (other than
those completed during handshake operations) will start a
new handshake operation, while if the MODE pin is pulsed
high, handshake operations can be obtained “on demand.”
When the converter enters the handshake mode, or when
the MODE input is high, the chip and byte ENABLE terminals become TTL-compatible outputs which provide the control signals for the output cycle. The Send ENABLE pin
(SEN) (pin 29) is used as an indication of the ability of the
external device to receive data. The condition of the line is
sensed once every clock pulse, and if it is high, the next (or
first) byte is enabled on the next rising CLOCK 1 (pin 25)
clock edge, the corresponding byte ENABLE line goes low,
and the CHIP ENABLE / LOAD pin (pin 30) (CE/LD) goes
low for one full clock pulse only, returning high.
On the next falling CLOCK 1 clock pulse edge, if SEN
remains high, or after it goes high again, the byte output
lines will be put in the high impedance state (or three-stated
off). One half pulse later, the byte ENABLE pin will be
cleared high, and (unless finished) the CE/LD and the next
byte ENABLE pin will go low. This will continue until all three
(2 in the case of the 14-bit device) bytes have been sent.
The bytes are individually put into the low impedance state
i.e.: three-stated on during most of the time that their byte
ENABLE pin is (active) low. When receipt of the last byte has
been acknowledged by a high SEN, the handshake mode
will be cleared, re-enabling data latching from conversion,
and recognizing the condition of the MODE pin again. The
byte and CHIP ENABLE will be three-stated off, if MODE is
low, but held by their (weak) pullups. These timing relationships are illustrated in Figures 11, 12, and 13, and Table 2.
Figure 11 shows the sequence of the output cycle with SEN
held high. The handshake mode (Internal MODE high) is
entered after the data latch pulse (since MODE remains high
the CE/LD, LBEN, MBEN and HBEN terminals are active as
outputs). The high level at the SEN input is sensed on the
same high to low internal clock edge. On the next to high
internal clock edge, the CE/LD and the HBEN outputs
assume a low level and the high-order byte (POL and OR,
and except for -16, Bits 9 - 14) outputs are enabled. The
CE/LD output remains low for one full internal clock period
only, the data outputs remain active for 11/2 internal clock
periods, and the high byte ENABLE remains low for two
clock periods. Thus the CE/LD output low level or low to high
edge may be used as a synchronizing signal to ensure valid
data, and the byte ENABLE as an output may be used as a
byte identification flag. With SEN remaining high the converter completes the output cycle using CE/LD, MBEN and
LBEN while the remaining byte outputs (see Table 3) are
activated. The handshake mode is terminated when all bytes
are sent (3 for -16, 2 for -14).
Figure 12 shows an output sequence where the SEN input is
used to delay portions of the sequence, or handshake, to
ensure correct data transfer. This timing diagram shows the
relationships that occur using an industry-standard IM6402/3
CMOS UART to interface to serial data channels. In this
interface, the SEN input to the ICL7104 is driven by the
TBRE (Transmitter Buffer Register Empty) output of the
UART, and the CE/LD terminal of the ICL7104 drives the
TBRL (Transmitter Buffer Register Load) input to the UART.
The data outputs are paralleled into the eight Transmitter
Buffer Register inputs.
Assuming the UART Transmitter Buffer Register is empty,
the SEN input will be high when the handshake mode is
entered after new data is stored. The CE/LD and HBEN terminals will go low after SEN is sensed, and the high order
byte outputs become active. When CE/LD goes high at the
end of one clock period, the high order byte data is clocked
into the UART Transmitter Buffer Register. The UART TBRE
output will now go low, which halts the output cycle with the
HBEN output low, and the high order byte outputs active.
When the UART has transferred the data to the Transmitter
Register and cleared the Transmitter Buffer Register, the
TBRE returns high. On the next ICL7104 internal clock high
to low edge, the high order byte outputs are disabled, and
one-half internal clock later, the HBEN output returns high.
At the same time, the CE/LD and MBEN (-16) or LBEN outputs go low, and the corresponding byte outputs become
active. Similarly, when the CE/LD returns high at the end of
one clock period, the enabled data is clocked into the UART
Transmitter Buffer Register, and TBRE again goes low.
When TBRE returns to a high it will be sensed on the next
ICL7104 internal clock high to low edge, disabling the data
outputs. For the 16-bit device, the sequence is repeated for
LBEN. One-half internal clock later, the handshake mode will
be cleared, and the chip and byte ENABLE terminals return
high and stay active (as long as MODE stays high).
With the MODE input remaining high as in these examples,
the converter will output the results of every conversion
except those completed during a handshake operation. By
triggering the converter into handshake mode with a low to
high edge on the MODE input, handshake output sequences
may be performed on demand. Figure 13 shows a
handshake output sequence triggered by such an edge. In
addition, the SEN input is shown as being low when the converter enters handshake mode. In this case, the whole output sequence is controlled by the SEN input, and the
sequence for the first (high order) byte is similar to the
sequence for the other bytes. This diagram also shows the
output sequence taking longer than a conversion cycle. Note
that the converter still makes conversions, with the STATUS
output and Run/Hold input functioning normally. The only
difference is that new data will not be latched when in
handshake mode, and is therefore lost.

Initial Clear Circuitry
The internal logic of the 7104 is supplied by an internal
regulator between V++ and Digital Ground. The regulator
includes a low-voltage detector that will clear various
registers. This is intended to ensure that on initial power-up,
the control logic comes up in Auto-Zero, with the 2nd, 3rd,
and 4th MSB bits cleared, and the “mode” F/F cleared (i.e.,
in “direct” mode). This, however, will also clear these registers if the supply voltage “glitches” to a low enough value.
Additionally, if the supply voltage comes up too fast, this
clear pulse may be too narrow for reliable clearing. In general, this is not a problem, but if the UART internal “MODE”
F/F should come up set, the byte and chip ENABLE lines will
become active outputs. In many systems this could lead to
bus conflicts, especially in non-handshake systems. In any
case, SEN should be high (held high for non-handshake systems) to ensure that the MODE F/F will be cleared as fast as
possible (see Figure 11 for timing). For these and other
reasons, adequate supply bypass is recommended.

FIGURE 14. RC OSCILLATOR (ICL7104-14 ONLY)
As a result of pin count limitations, the ICL7104-16 has only
CLOCK 1 and CLOCK 2 available, and cannot be used as
an RC oscillator. The internal clock will correspond to the
inverse of the signal on CLOCK 2. Figure 15 shows a crystal
oscillator circuit, which can be used with both 7104 versions.
If an external clock is to be used, it should be applied to
CLOCK 1. This internal clock will correspond to the signal
applied to this pin.
The ICL7104-14 is provided with a versatile three terminal
oscillator to generate the internal clock. The oscillator may
be overdriven, or may be operated as an RC or crystal
oscillator.
Figure 14 shows the oscillator configured for RC operation.
The internal clock will be of the same frequency and phase
as the voltage on the CLOCK 3 pin. The resistor and
capacitor should be connected as shown. The circuit will
oscillate at a frequency given by f = 0.45/RC. A 50 - 100kΩ
resistor is recommended for useful ranges of frequency. For
optimum 60Hz line rejection, the capacitor value should be
chosen such that 32768 (-16), 8192 (-14) clock periods is
close to an integral multiple of the 60Hz period.

Application Notes
Because of the nature of the CMOS process used to
fabricate the ICL7104, and the multiple power supplies
used, there are certain conditions of these supplies under
which a disabling and potentially damaging SCR action can
occur. All of these conditions involve the V+ supply (Norm
+5V) being more positive than the V++ supply. If there is
any possibility of this occurring during start-up, shut down,
under transient conditions during operation, or when inserting a PC board into a “hot” socket, etc., a diode should be
placed between V+ and V++ to prevent it. A germanium or
Schottky rectifier diode would be best, but in most cases a
silicon rectifier is adequate.

Extreme care must be taken to avoid ground loops in the
layout of ICL8068 or ICL8052/7104 circuits, especially in
16-bit and high sensitivity circuits. It is most important that
return currents from digital loads are not fed into the analog
ground line. A recommended connection sequence for the
ground lines is shown in Figure 16.
