Detailed Description
Analog Section
The measurement cycle of analog section is divided into three phases. They are (1)auto-zero(A-Z),(2) signal
integrate(INT)and (3) de-integrate(DE).
Auto-Zero Phase
During auto-zero three things happen. First, input high and low are disconnected from the pins and internally
shorted to Analog COMMON. Second, the reference capacitor is charged to the reference voltage. Third, a feedback
loop is closed around the system to charge the auto-zero capacitor CAZ to compensate for offset voltages in the
buffer amplifier, integrator and comparator. Since the comparator is included in the loop, the A-Z accuracy is limited
only by the noise of the system. In any case, the offset referred to the input is less than 10uV.
Signal Integrate Phase
During signal integrate the auto-zero loops are opened, the internal short is removed, and the internal inputs high
and low are connected to the external pins. The converter then integrates the differential voltage between INHI and
INLO for a fixed time. This differential voltage can be within a wide common mode range: up to 1V from either supply.
On the other hand, if the input signal has no return with respect to the converter power supply, IN LO 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.
De-Integrate Phase
The final phase is de-integrated, or reference integrates. 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. Specifically the digital reading displayed is:
DISPLAY COUNT=1000(VIN/VREF)
Differential Input
The input can accept differential voltages anywhere within the common mode range of the input amplifier, or
specifically from 0.5V below the positive supply to 1V above the negative supply. In this range, the system has a
CMRR of 86dB typical. However, we must make sure that the integrator output does not saturate. A worst case
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 positive
common mod e voltage. For these critical applications the integrator output swing can be reduced to less than the
recommended 2V full scale swing with little 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. The main
source of common mode error is a roll-over voltage caused by the reference capacitor losing or gaining charge to
stray capacity on its nodes. If there is a large common mode voltage, the reference capacitor can gain change when
called up to de-integrate a positive signal but lose charge when called up to de-integrate a negative input signal. This
difference in reference for positive or negative input voltage will give a roll-over error. However, by selecting the
reference capacitor such that it is large enough in comparison to the stray capacitance, this error can be held to less
than 0.5 count worst case.
Analog Common
The COM pin is used to set the common-mod voltage for the system where the input signals are floating with
respect to the power supply. It sets a voltage that is approximately 2.8V lower than the positive supply. In most of the
applications, IN LO, RF LO and COM pins are tied to the same point, so that the common mode voltage can be
removed from the reference system and the converter.
Within the IC, analog COMMON is tied to an N-Channel FET that can sink approximately 30mA of current to hold
the voltage 2.8V below the positive supply (when a load is trying to pull the common voltage toward the positive
supply). However, there is only 10μA of source current, so COM voltage is easily tied to a more negative voltage with
respect to the positive supply.

CMOS IC
Detailed Description(Cont.)
TEST
The TEST pin serves two functions. Within IC it is coupled to the internally generated digital supply through an
NMOS. Thus it can be used as the negative supply for externally generated segment drivers such as decimal points
or any other presentation the user may want to include on the LCD display. The second function is a “lamp test”.
When TEST is pulled high(to V+)all segment will be turned on and output should be “1888”.
Component Value Selection
Integrating Resistor
Both the buffer amplifier and the integrator have an output stage with 100μA of quiescent current. They can supply
4μA 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, 470kΩ is near optimum and similarly a 47kΩ for a 200mV scale.
Integrating Capacitor
The integrating capacitor should give the maximum voltage swing that ensures tolerance buildup will not saturate
the integrator swing (approximately. 0.3V from either supply). When the analog COMMON is used as a reference, a
nominal +2V full-scale integrator swing is fine. For three readings /second (48 kHz clock) nominal values for ClNT
are 0.22μF and 0.10μF, respectively. Of course, if different oscillator frequencies are used, these values should be
changed in inverse proportion to maintain the same output swing.
An additional requirement of the integrating capacitor is that it must have a low dielectric absorption to prevent
roll-over errors. While other types of capacitors are adequate for this application, polypropylene capacitors give the
best choice.
Auto-Zero Capacitor
The size of the auto-zero capacitor has some influence on the noise of the system. For 200mV full scale where
noise is very important, a 0.47μF capacitor is recommended. On the 2V scale, a 0.047μF capacitor increases the
speed of recovery from overload and is adequate for noise on this scale.
Oscillator Components
For all ranges of frequency a 100kΩ resistor is recommended and the capacitor is selected from the equation:
f  0.45 / RC For 48kHz clock(3 Reading/sec),
C=100pF.
Reference Capacitor
A 0.1μF capacitor gives good results in most applications. However, where a large common mode voltage exists
and a 200mV scale is used, a larger value is required to prevent roll-over error. Generally 1μF will hold the roll-over
error to 0.5 count in this instance.
Reference Voltage
The analog input required to generate full scale output (2000 counts) is: VIN  2VREF . Thus, for the 200mV and 2V
scale, VREF should equal 100mV and 1V, respectively. However, in some applications the full-scale input voltage may
be other than 200mV or 2V, but 600mV. For example, the reference voltage should be set to 300mV and the input
signal can be used directly without being divided.
The differential reference can be used during the measurement of resistor by the ratio metric method and when a
digital reading of zero is desired for VIN≠0. A compensating offset voltage can be applied between COM and IN LO
and the voltage of being measured is connected between COM and IN HI.
