FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
■
The TC7109A is a 12-bit plus sign, CMOS low-power
analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Only eight passive components and a crystal are required to form a complete
dual-slope integrating ADC.
The improved VOH source current TC7109A 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
1pA drift of less than 1µV/°C, input noise typically 15µVP-P,
and auto-zero. True differential 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
TC7109A 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, 15-bit plus sign ADC data sheet.
The TC7109A 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.

*Static-sensitive device. Unused devices must be stored in conductive
material. Protect devices from static discharge and static fields. Stresses
above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those
indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied.
Exposure to Absolute Maximum Rating Conditions for extended periods
may affect device reliability.
NOTES: 1. Input voltages may exceed supply voltages if input current is
limited to ±100 µA.
2. Connecting any digital inputs or outputs to voltages greater
than V+ or less than GND may cause destructive device latchup. Therefore, it is recommended that inputs from sources
other than the same power supply should not be applied to
the TC7109A before its power supply is established. In
multiple supply systems, the supply to the device should be
activated first.
3. This limit refers to that of the package and will not occur during
normal operation.
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS: All parameters with V+ = +5V, V– = –5V, GND = 0V, TA = +25°C,
unless otherwise indicated.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS: These devices are CMOS and must be handled correctly to prevent damage. Package
and store only in conductive foam, anti-static tubes, or other conducting material. Use proper anti-static handling
procedures. Do not connect in circuits under "power-on" conditions, as high transients may cause permanent
damage.

Input High — Normal operation. Input LOW — Forces all bit outputs HIGH.
Note: This input is used for test purposes only.
Low-Byte Enable — With MODE (Pin 21) LOW, and CE/LOAD (Pin 20) LOW,
taking this pin LOW activates low-order byte outputs, B1–B8. With MODE (Pin 21)
HIGH, this pin serves as low-byte flag output used in handshake mode. See
Figures 7, 8, and 9.
High-Byte Enable — With MODE (Pin 21) LOW, and CE/LOAD (Pin 20) LOW,
taking this pin LOW activates high-order byte outputs, B9–B12, POL, OR. With
MODE (Pin 21) HIGH, this pin serves as high-byte flag output used in handshake
mode. See Figures 7, 8, and 9.
Chip Enable/Load — With MODE (Pin 21) LOW, CE/LOAD serves as a master
output enable. When HIGH, B1–B12, POL, OR outputs are disabled. When
MODE (Pin 21) is HIGH, a load strobe is used in handshake mode. See Figure 7,
8, and 9.
Input LOW — Direct output mode where CE/LOAD (Pin 20), HBEN (Pin 19), and
LBEN (Pin 18) act as inputs directly controlling byte outputs.
Input Pulsed HIGH — Causes immediate entry into handshake mode and output
of data as in Figure 9.
Input HIGH — Enables CE/LOAD (Pin 20), HBEN (Pin 19), and LBEN (Pin 18)
as outputs, handshake mode will be entered and data output as in Figures 7 and
8 at conversions completion.

Analog Section
The functional diagram shows a block diagram of the
analog section of the TC7109A. 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 3. They are:
(1) Auto-Zero (AZ), (2) Signal Integrate (INT), (3) Reference
Deintegrate (DE), and (4) Zero Integrator (ZI).
Auto-Zero Phase
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 AZ
accuracy is limited only by the noise of the system. The offset
referred to the input is less than 10 µV.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Signal-Integrate Phase
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's power supply, input low can be
tied to analog common to establish the correct commonmode voltage.
Deintegrate Phase
Input high is connected across the previously-charged
reference capacitor and input low is internally connected to
analog common. Circuitry within the chip ensures 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 number of clock periods counted for the output
to return to zero, is proportional to the input signal.

Zero-Integrator Phase
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 0V (Figure 3). The ZI phase only occurs
following an overrange and lasts for a maximum of 1024
clock periods.
Differential Input
The TC7109A 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 86 dB is achieved for input differential
voltages anywhere within the typical common-mode range
of 1V below the positive supply to 1.5V above the negative
supply. However, for optimum performance, the IN HI and IN
LO 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 ensure the integrator
output 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
the recommended ±4V full-scale value, with some loss of
accuracy. The integrator output can swing to within 0.3V of
either supply without loss of linearity.
Differential Reference
The reference voltage can be generated anywhere
within the power supply voltage of the converter. Roll-over
voltage is the main source of common-mode error, caused
by the reference capacitor losing or gaining charge due to
stray capacity on its nodes. With a large common-mode
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
3-98
reference for (+) or (–) input voltages 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
sources, keep the reference common-mode voltage near or
at analog common.
Digital Section
The digital section is shown in the block diagram (Figure 4) and includes the clock oscillator and scaling circuit,
a 12-bit binary counter with output latches and TTL compatible three-state output drivers, UART handshake logic,
polarity, overrange, and control logic. Logic levels are referred to as LOW or HIGH.
Inputs driven from TTL gates should have 3 kΩ to 5 kΩ
pull-up resistors added for maximum noise immunity. For
minimum power consumption, all inputs should swing from
GND (LOW) to V+ (HIGH).
STATUS Output
During a conversion cycle, the STATUS output goes
HIGH at the beginning of signal integrate and goes LOW
one-half clock period after new data from the conversion has
been stored in the output latches (see Figure 3). 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.)
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 input 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
MODE input is pulsed high, the converter enters the UART
handshake mode and outputs the data in 2 bytes, then
returns 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 send input should be tied to V+. (See
"Handshake Mode.")
RUN/HOLD Input
With the RUN/HOLD input high, or open, the circuit
operates normally as a dual-slope ADC, as shown in Figure
3. Conversion cycles operate continuously with the output
latches updated after zero crossing in the deintegrate mode.
An internal pull-up resistor is provided to ensure a HIGH
level with an open input.

TC7109A RUN/HOLD Operation
The RUN/HOLD input may be used to shorten conversion time. If RUN/HOLD goes LOW any time after zero
crossing in the deintegrate mode, the circuit will jump to
auto-zero and eliminate that portion of time normally spent
in deintegrate.
If RUN/HOLD stays or goes LOW, the conversion will
complete with minimum time in deintegrate. It will stay in
auto-zero for the minimum time and wait in auto-zero for a
HIGH at the RUN/HOLD input. As shown in Figure 5, the
STATUS output will go HIGH 7 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 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. 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 it to the
buffered oscillator output. In this mode, the input value
measured determines the conversion time.
Direct Mode
The data outputs (bits 1 through 8, low-order bytes; bits
9 through 12, polarity and overrange high-order bytes) are
accessible under control of the byte and chip enable terminals as inputs with the MODE pin at a LOW level. These
three inputs are all active LOW. Internal pull-up resistors are
provided for an inactive HIGH level when left open. When
chip enable is LOW, a byte-enable input LOW will allow the
outputs of the byte to become active. A variety of parallel
3-100
data accessing techniques may be used, as shown in the
"Interfacing" section. (See Figure 6 and Table 1.)
The access of data should be synchronized with the
conversion cycle by monitoring the STATUS output. This
prevents accessing data while it is being updated and
eliminates the acquisition of erroneous data.

Handshake Mode
An alternative means of interfacing the TC7109A to
digital systems is provided when the handshake output
mode of the TC7109A becomes active in controlling the
flow of data instead of passively responding to chip and
byte enable inputs. This mode allows a direct interface
between the TC7109A and industry-standard UARTs with
no external logic required. The TC7109A provides all the
control and flag signals necessary to sequence the two
bytes of data into the UART and initiate their transmission
in serial form when triggered into the handshake mode.
The cost of designing remote data acquisition stations is
reduced using serial data transmission to minimize the
number of lines to the central controlling processor.
The MODE input controls the handshake mode. When
the MODE input is held HIGH, the TC7109A enters the
handshake mode after new data has been stored in the
output latches at the end of every conversion performed
(see Figures 7 and 8). Entry into the handshake mode may
be triggered on demand by the MODE input. At any time
during the conversion cycle, the LOW-to-HIGH transition of
a short pulse at the MODE input will cause immediate entry
into the handshake mode. If this pulse occurs while new
data is being stored, the entry into handshake mode is
delayed until the data is stable. The MODE input is ignored
in the handshake mode, and until the converter completes
the output cycle and clears the handshake mode, data
updating will be inhibited (see Figure 9).
When the MODE input is HIGH or when the converter
enters the handshake mode, the chip and byte enable
inputs become TTL-compatible outputs which provide the
output cycle control signals (see Figures 7, 8 and 9).
The SEND input is used by the converter as an indication of the ability of the receiving device (such as a UART)
to accept data in the handshake mode. The sequence of
the output cycle with SEND held HIGH is shown in Figure
7. The handshake mode (internal MODE HIGH) is entered
after the data latch pulse (the CE/LOAD, LBEN and HBEN
terminals are active as outputs since MODE remains HIGH).
The HIGH level at the SEND input is sensed on the
same HIGH-to-LOW internal clock edge. On the next LOWto-HIGH internal clock edge, the high-order byte (bits 9
through 12, POL, and OR) outputs are enabled and the CE/
LOAD and the HBEN outputs assume a LOW level. The
CE/LOAD output remains LOW for one full internal clock
period only; the data outputs remain active for 1-1/2 internal clock periods; and the high-byte enable remains LOW
for 2 clock periods. The CE/LOAD 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 SEND
TELCOM SEMICONDUCTOR, INC.
remaining HIGH the converter completes the output cycle
using CE/LOAD and LBEN while the low-order byte outputs (bits 1 through 8) are activated. When both bytes are
sent, the handshake mode is terminated. The typical UART
interfacing timing is shown in Figure 8. The SEND input is
used to delay portions of the sequence, or handshake, to
ensure correct data transfer. This timing diagram shows an
industry-standard HD6403 or CDP1854 CMOS UART to
interface to serial data channels. The SEND input to the
TC7109A is driven by the TBRE (Transmitter Buffer Register Empty) output of the UART, and the CE/LOAD input of
the TC7109A drives the TBRL (Transmitter Buffer Register
Load) input to the UART. The eight transmitter buffer register inputs accept the parallel data outputs. With the UART
transmitter buffer register empty, the SEND input will be
HIGH when the handshake mode is entered after new data
is stored. The high-order byte outputs become active and
the CE/LOAD and HBEN inputs will go LOW after SEND is
sensed. When CE/LOAD 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 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. The high-order byte outputs are disabled on
the next TC7109A internal clock HIGH-to-LOW edge, and
one-half internal clock later, the HBEN output returns HIGH.
The CE/LOAD and LBEN outputs go LOW at the same
time as the low-order byte outputs become active. When
the CE/LOAD returns HIGH at the end of one clock period,
the low-order data is clocked into the UART transmitter
buffer register, and TBRE again goes LOW. The next
TC7109A internal clock HIGH-to-LOW edge will sense
when TBRE returns to a HIGH, disabling the data inputs.
One-half internal clock later, the handshake mode is cleared,
and the CE/LOAD, HBEN and LBEN terminals return
HIGH and stay active, if MODE still remains HIGH.
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 9. The
SEND input is LOW when the converter enters handshake
mode. The whole output sequence is controlled by the
SEND input, and the sequence for the first (high order) byte
is similar to the sequence for the second byte.
Figure 9 also shows 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.

Oscillator
The oscillator may be overdriven, or may be operated as
an RC or crystal oscillator. The OSCILLATOR SELECT
input optimizes the internal configuration of the oscillator for
RC or crystal operation. The OSCILLATOR SELECT input
is provided with a pull-up resistor. When the OSCILLATOR
SELECT input is HIGH or left open, the oscillator is configured for RC operation. The internal clock will be the same
frequency and phase as the signal at the BUFFERED
OSCILLATOR OUTPUT. Connect the resistor and capacitor as in Figure 10. The circuit will oscillate at a frequency
given by f = 0.45/RC. A 100 kΩ resistor is recommended for
useful ranges of frequency. The capacitor value should be
chosen such that 2048 clock periods are close to an integral
multiple of the 60 Hz period for optimum 60 Hz line rejection.
With OSCILLATOR SELECT input LOW, two on-chip
capacitors and a feedback device are added to the oscillator.
In this configuration, the oscillator will operate with most
crystals in the 1 to 5 MHz range with no external components
(Figure 11). The OSCILLATOR SELECT input LOW inserts

a fixed 458 divider circuit between the BUFFERED OSCILLATOR OUTPUT and the internal clock. A 3.58 MHz TV
crystal gives a division ratio providing an integration time
given by:
t = (2048 clock periods)

58
= 33.18 ms
3.58 MHz
The error is less than 1% from two 60 Hz periods, or
33.33 ms, which will give better than 40 dB, 60 Hz rejection.
The converter will operate reliably at conversion rates up
to 30 per second, corresponding to a clock frequency of
245.8 kHz.
When the oscillator is to be overdriven, the OSCILLATOR OUTPUT should be left open, and the overdriving
signal should be applied at the OSCILLATOR INPUT. The
internal clock will be of the same duty cycle, frequency and
phase as the input signal. When the OSCILLATOR SELECT
is at GND, the clock will be 1/58 of the input frequency.

roll-over 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 roll-over errors. To improve performance, ±6V
supplies may be used.

Test Input
The counter and its outputs may be tested easily. When
the TEST input is connected to GND, the internal clock is
disabled and the counter outputs are all forced into the HIGH
state. When the input returns to the 1/2 (V+–GND) 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 GND,
allowing the counter contents to be examined anytime.
Component Value Selection
The integrator output swing for full-scale should be as
large as possible. For example, with ±5V supplies and
COMMON connected to GND, 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 ±1V required, the component values should be
selected to provide ±3V integrator output swing. Noise and
3-104
Integrating Capacitor
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
TC7109A, with ±5V supplies and analog common connected to GND. For 7-1/2 conversions per second (61.72
kHz internal clock frequency), nominal values CINT and CAZ
are 0.15 µF and 0.33 µF, 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:
CINT =
(2048 3 Clock Period) (20 µA)
Integrator Output Voltage Swing
The integrating capacitor must have low dielectric absorption to prevent roll-over errors. Polypropylene capacitors give undetectable errors, at reasonable cost, up to
+85°C. Teflon® capacitors are recommended for the military
temperature range. While their dielectric absorption characteristics vary somewhat between units, devices may be
selected to less than 0.5 count of error due to dielectric
absorption.
Integrating Resistor
The integrator and buffer amplifiers have a class A
output stage with 100 µA of quiescent current. They supply
20 µA 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 2.048V full-scale a 100 kΩ resistor is
recommended and for 409.6 mV full-scale a 20 kΩ resistor
is recommended. RINT may be selected for other values of
full scale by:
RINT =
Full-Scale Voltage
20 µA
Auto-Zero Capacitor
As the auto-zero capacitor is made large, the system
noise is reduced. Since the TC7109A incorporates a zero
integrator cycle, the size of the auto-zero capacitor does not
affect overload recovery. The optimal value of the auto-zero
capacitor is between 2 and 4 times CINT. A typical value for
CAZ is 0.33 µF.
TELCOM SEMICONDUCTOR, INC.

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTERS

TC7109
TC7109A
The inner foil of CAZ should be connected to pin 31 and
the outer foil to the RC summing junction. The inner foil of
CINT should be connected to the RC summing junction and
the outer foil to pin 32 for best rejection of stray pickups. For
low leakage at temperatures above +85°C, use Teflon
capacitors.
Reference Capacitor
A 1 µF capacitor is recommended for most circuits.
However, where a large common-mode voltage exists, a
larger value is required to prevent roll-over error (e.g., the
reference low is not analog common), and a 409.6 mV scale
is used. The roll-over error will be held to 0.5 count with a 10
µF capacitor. For temperatures above +80°C use Teflon or
equivalent capacitors for their low leakage characteristics.
Reference Voltage
To generate full-scale output of 4096 counts, the analog
input required is VIN = 2 VREF. For 409.6 mV full scale, use
a reference of 204.8 mV. In many applications, where the
ADC is connected to a transducer, a scale factor will exist
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 for the transducer
is 700 mV. Instead of dividing the input down to 409.6 mV,
the designer should use the input voltage directly and select
VREF = 350 mV. Suitable values for integrating resistor and
capacitor would be 34 kΩ and 0.15 µF. This makes the
system slightly quieter and also avoids a divider network on
the input. Another advantage of this system occurs when
temperature and weight measurements with an offset or tare
are desired for non-zero input. The offset may be introduced
by connecting the voltage output of the transducer between
common and analog high, and the offset voltage between
common and analog low, observing polarities carefully. In
processor-based systems using the TC7109A, it may be
more desirable to use software and perform this type of
scaling or tare subtraction digitally.
Reference Sources
A major factor in the absolute accuracy of the ADC is the
stability of the reference voltage. The 12-bit resolution of the
TC7109A is one part in 4096, or 244 ppm. Thus, for the onboard reference temperature coefficient of 70 ppm/°C, a
temperature difference of 3°C will introduce a one-bit absolute error. Where the ambient temperature is not controlled,
or where high-accuracy absolute measurements are being
made, it is recommended that an external high-quality
reference be used.
A reference output (pin 29) is provided which may be
used with a resistive divider to generate a suitable reference
voltage (20 mA may be sunk without significant variation in
output voltage). A pull-up bias device is provided which
sources about 10 µA. The output voltage is nominally 2.8V
below V+. When using the on-board reference, REF OUT
(pin 29) should be connected to REF– (pin 39), and REF+
should be connected to the wiper of a precision potentiometer between REF OUT and V+. The test circuit shows the
circuit for a 204.8 mV reference, generated by a 2 kΩ
precision potentiometer in series with a 24 kΩ fixed resistor.

Interfacing
Direct Mode
Combinations of chip-enable and byte-enable control
signals which may be used when interfacing the TC7109A
to parallel data lines are shown in Figure 12. The CE/LOAD
input may be tied low, allowing either byte to be controlled
by its own enable (Figure 12A). Figure 12B shows the
HBEN and LBEN as flag inputs, and CE/LOAD as a master
enable, which could be the READ strobe available from
most microprocessors. Figure 12C shows a configuration
where the two byte enables are connected together. The
CE/LOAD is a chip enable, and the HBEN and LBEN may
be used as a second chip enable, or connected to ground.
The 14 data outputs will be enabled at the same time. In
the direct MODE, SEND should be tied to V+.
Figure 13 shows interfacing several TC7109A's to a
bus, ganging the HBEN and LBEN signals to several converters together, and using the CE/LOAD input to select
the desired converter.
Figures 14–19 give practical circuits utilizing the parallel three-state output capabilities of the TC7109A. Figure
14 shows parallel interface to the Intel MCS-48, -80 and 85 systems via an 8255 PPI, where the TC7109A data
outputs are active at all times. The 8155 I/O ports may be
used in an identical manner. This interface can be used in a
read-after-update sequence, as shown in Figure 15. The
data is accessed by the high-to-low transition of the STATUS driving an interrupt to the microprocessor.
The RUN/HOLD input is also used to initiate conversions under software control. Figure 16 gives an interface
to Motorola MC6800 or MOS Technology MCS650X system.
An interrupt is generated through the Control Register
B, CB1 line from the high-to-low transition of the STATUS
output. The RUN/HOLD pin is controlled by CB2 through
Control Register B, allowing software control of conversions.

in this type of interface. This type of interface is used when
the memory peripheral address density is low, providing
simple address decoding. Interrupt handling can be simplified by using an interface to reduce the component count.

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 CE/LOAD. 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 TC7109A, 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 TC7109A 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 input to the TC7109A
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
TC7109A 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.

Handshake Interface for Multiplexed Converters
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).
