INTERSIL ICL8068CDD

ICL8052/ICL71C03,
ICL8068/ICL71C03
Precision 4 1/2 Digit, A/D Converter
August 1997
Features
Description
• Typically Less Than 2µVP-P Noise (200.00mV Full
Scale, lCL8068)
The ICL8052 or ICL8068/lCL71C03 chip pairs with their
multiplexed BCD output and digit drivers are ideally suited
for the visual display DVM/DPM market. The outstanding
41/2 digit accuracy, 200.00mV to 2.0000V full scale capability, auto-zero and auto-polarity combine with true ratiometric
operation, almost ideal differential linearity and time-proven
dual slope conversion. Use of these chip pairs eliminates
clock feedthrough problems, and avoids the critical board
layout usually required to minimize charge injection.
• Accuracy Guaranteed to ±1 Count Over Entire ±20,000
Counts (2.0000V Full Scale)
• Guaranteed Zero Reading for 0V Input
• True Polarity at Zero Count for Precise Null Detection
• Single Reference Voltage Required
• Over-Range and Under-Range Signals Available for
Auto-Ranging Capability
• All Outputs TTL Compatible
When only 2000 counts of resolution are required, the 71C03
can be wired for 31/2 digits and give up to 30 readings/sec.,
making it ideally suited for a wide variety of applications.
• Medium Quality Reference, 40ppm (Typ) on Board
The ICL71C03 is an improved CMOS plug-in replacement for
the lCL7103 and should be used in all new designs.
• Blinking Display Gives Visual Indication of Over
Range
Ordering Information
• Six Auxiliary Inputs/Outputs are Available for
Interfacing to UARTs, Microprocessors or Other
Complex Circuitry

CAUTION: Stresses above those listed in “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress only rating and operation
of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied.
NOTES:
1. For supply voltages less than ±15V, the absolute maximum input voltage is equal to the supply voltage.
2. Short circuit may be to ground or either supply. Rating applies to 70oC ambient temperature.
3. Input voltages may exceed the supply voltages provided the input current is limited to ±100µA.
4. Connecting any digital inputs or outputs to voltages greater then V+ or less than GND may cause destructive device latchup. For this
reason it is recommended that the power supply to the ICL71C03 be established before any inputs from sources not on that supply are
applied.
5. θJA is measured with the component mounted on an evaluation PC board in free air.

NOTES:
7. 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.
8. This is the only component that causes error in dual-slope converter.

Detailed Description
ANALOG SECTION
Figure 2 shows the equivalent Circuit of the Analog Section
of both the ICL71C03/8052 and the ICL71C03/8068 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: 40,0002 at 41/2 digit
and 4002 at 31/2 digit clock periods per cycle (see Figure 3
for details of conversion timing).
Auto-zero Phase I (Figure 2A)
During the Auto-Zero, the input of the buffer is connected to
VREF through switch 2, and switch 3 closes a loop around
the integrator and comparator, the purpose of which is to
charge the auto-zero capacitor until the integrator output
does not change with time. Also, switches 1 and 2 recharge
the reference capacitor to VREF .
Input Integrate Phase II (Figure 2B)
During Input Integrate the auto-zero loop is opened and the
ANALOG INPUT is connected to the BUFFER INPUT
through switch 4 and CREF . If the input signal is zero, the
buffer, integrator and comparator will see the same voltage
that existed in the previous state (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, and 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.
Deintegrate Phase II (Figures 2C and 2D)
During the Deintegrate phase, the switch drive logic uses the
output of the polarity F/F in determining whether to close
switch 6 or 5. If the input signal is positive, switch 6 is closed
and a voltage which is VREF more negative than during
Auto-Zero is impressed on the BUFFER INPUT. Negative
Inputs will cause +2(VREF) to be applied to the BUFFER
INPUT via switch 5. Thus, the reference capacitor generates
the equivalent of a (+) or (-) 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 is 2VREF .

Zero-Crossing Flip-Flop
Detailed Description
Figure 4 shows the problem that the zero-crossing F/F is
designated to solve.
DIGITAL SECTION
The integrator output is approaching the zero-crossing point
where the count will be latched and the reading displayed.
For a 20,000 count instrument, the ramp is changing
approximately 0.50mV per clock pulse (10V Max integrator
output divided by 20,000 counts). The clock pulse
feedthrough superimposed upon this ramp would have to be
less than 100mV peak to avoid causing significant errors.
The flip-flop interrogates the data once every clock pulse
after the 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 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 phase 3. 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
phase 1 gives an overload display of 0000 instead of 0001.
No delay occurs during phase 2, so that true ratiometric
readings result.

FIGURE 4. INTEGRATOR OUTPUT NEAR ZERO-CROSSING
The 71C03 includes several pins which allow it to operate
conveniently in more sophisticated systems. These include:
4-1/2 / 3-1/2 (Pin 2)
When high (or open) the internal counter operates as a full
41/2 decade counter, with a complete measurement cycle
requiring 40,002 counts. When held low, the least significant
decade is cleared and the clock is fed directly into the next
decade. A measurement cycle now requires only 4,0002
clock pulses. All 5 digit drivers are active in either case, with
each digit lasting 200 counts with Pin 2 high (41/2 digit) and
20 counts for Pin 2 low (31/2 digit).
RUN/HOLD (Pin 4)
When high (or open) the A/D will free-run with equally
spaced measurement cycles every 40,0002/4,002 clock
pulses. If taken low, the converter will continue the full measurement cycle that it is doing and then hold this reading as
long as Pin 4 is held low. A short positive pulse (greater then
300ns) will now initiate a new measurement cycle beginning
with up to 10,001/1,001 counts of auto zero. Of course if the
pulse occurs before the full measurement cycle
(40,002/4,002 counts) is completed, it will not be recognized
and the converter will simply complete the measurement it is
doing. An external indication that full measurement cycle
has been completed is that the first STROBE pulse (see
below) will occur 101/11 counts after the end of this cycle.
Thus, if RUN/HOLD is low and has been low for at least
101/11 counts, converter is holding and ready to start a new
measurement when pulsed high.
STROBE (Pin 18)
This is a negative-going output pulse that aids in transferring
the BCD data to external latches, UARTs or microprocessors. There are 5 negative-going STROBE pulses that occur
3-41
ICL8052/ICL71C03, ICL8068/ICL71C03
once and only once for each measurement cycle starting
101/11 pulses after the end of the full measurement cycle.
Digit 5 (MSD) goes high at the end of the measurement
cycle and stays on for 201/21 counts. In the center of this
digit pulse (to avoid race conditions between changing BCD
and digit drives) the first STROBE pulse goes negative for
1/ clock pulse width. Similarly, after Digit 5, Digit 4 goes
2
high (for 200/20 clock pulses) and 100/10 pulses later the
STROBE goes negative for the second time. This continues
through Digit 1 (LSD) when the fifth and last STROBE pulse
is sent. The digit drive will continue to scan (unless the
previous signal was over-range) but no additional STROBE
pulses will be sent until a new measurement is available.
Busy (Pin 28)
BUSY goes high at the beginning of signal integrate and
stays high until the first clock pulse after zero-crossing (or
after end of measurement in the case of an OVER-RANGE).
The internal latches are enabled (i.e., loaded) during the first
clock pulse after BUSY and are latched at the end of this
clock pulse. The circuit automatically reverts to auto-zero
when not BUSY so it may also be considered an A-Z signal.
A very simple means for transmitting the data down a single
wire pair from a remote location would be to AND BUSY with
clock and subtract 10,001/1,001 counts from the number of
pulses received - as mentioned previously there is one “NOcount” pulse in each Reference Integrate cycle.
Over-Range (Pin 4)
This pin goes positive when the input signal exceeds the
range (20,000/2,000) of the converter. The output F-F is set
at the end of BUSY and is reset to zero at the beginning of
Reference Integrate in the next measurement cycle.
Under-Range (Pin 13)
This pin goes positive when the reading is 9% of range or
less. The output F-F is set at the end of BUSY (if the new
reading is 1800/180 or less) and is reset a the beginning of
Signal Integrate of the next reading.
Polarity (Pin 3)
This pin is positive for a positive input signal. It is valid even for a
zero reading. In other words, +0000 means the signal is positive but less than the least significant bit. The converter can be
used as null detector by forcing equal (+) and (-) readings. The
null at this point should be less than 0.1 LSB. This output
becomes valid at the beginning of Reference Integrate and
remains correct until it is revalidated for the next measurement.
Digit Drives (Pins 19, 24, 25, 26, and 27)
Each digit drive is a positive-going signal which lasts for
200/20 clock pulses. The scan sequence is D5 (MSD), D4 ,
D3 , D2 , and D1 (LSD). All five digits are scanned even when
operating in the 31/2 digit mode, and this scan is continuous
unless and OVER-RANGE occurs. Then all Digit drives are
blanked from the end of the STROBE sequence until the
beginning of Reference Integrate, at which time D5 will start
the scan again. This gives a blinking display as a visual
indication of OVER-RANGE.
BCD (Pins 20, 21, 22 and 23)
The Binary coded decimal bit B8 , B4 , B2 , and B1 are positive
logic signals that go on simultaneously with the Digit driver.

Component Value Selection
Auto-Zero and Reference Capacitor
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
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 5µA 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
The size of the auto-zero capacitor has some influence on
the noise of the system, with a larger value capacitor giving
less noise. The reference capacitor should be large enough
such that stray capacitance to ground from its nodes is
negligible.
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
The analog input required to generate a full scale output is:
VIN = 2VREF .
NOTE: If gain is used in the buffer amplifier, then:
( Buffe rGain ) (Full Scale Voltage)
R INT = -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------20µA
Integrating Capacitor
The product of integrating resistor and capacitor is selected
to give 9V swing for full scale inputs. This is a compromise
between possibly saturating the integrator (at +14V) due to
tolerance buildup 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:
10,000(4-1/2 Digit)
× Clock Period × ( 20µA )
1000(3-1/2 Digit)
C INT = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Integrator Output Voltage Swing
A very important characteristic of the integrating capacitor is
that it has low dielectric absorption to prevent roll-over 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 be read half scale 1.0000,
and any deviation is probably due to dielectric absorption.
Polypropylene capacitors give undetectable errors at reasonable cost. Polystyrene and polycarbonate capacitors may be
used in less critical applications.
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 an external high quality reference be
used where ambient temperature is not controlled or where
high-accuracy absolute measurements are being made.
Buffer Gain
At the end of the auto-zero interval, the instantaneous noise
voltage on the auto-zero capacitor is stored and subtracted
from the input voltage while adding to the reference voltage
during the next cycle. The result of this is that the noise
voltage is effectively 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 autozero 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/ICL71C03 is shown in Figure 6.

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 is the device of choice
for systems where noise is a limiting factor, particularly in low
signal level conditions.
Max Clock Frequency
The maximum conversion rate of most dual-slope A/D
converters is limited by frequency response of the comparator. The comparator in this circuit is no exception, even
though it is entirely NPN with an open-loop, gain-bandwidth
product of 300MHz. The comparator output follows the integrator ramp with a 3µs delay, and at a clock frequency of
160kHz (6µs period) half of the first reference integrate clock
period is lost in delay. This means that the meter reading will
change from 0 to 1 with 50µV input, 1 to 2 with 150µV, 2 to 3
at 250µV, etc. This transition at midpoint is considered
desirable by most users. However, if the clock frequency is
increased appreciably above 160kHz, the instrument will
flash “1” on noise peaks even when the input is shorted.
For many dedicated applications where the input signal is
always on one polarity, the dealy of the comparator need not
be limitation. Since the non-linearity and noise do not
increase substantially with frequency, clock rates of up to
approximately 1MHz 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 minimum clock frequency is established by leakage on
the auto-zero and reference caps. With most devices,
measurement cycles as long as 10 seconds give no measurable leakage error.
To achieve maximum rejection of 60Hz pickup, the signal
integrate cycle should be a multiple of 60Hz. Oscillator
frequencies of 300kHz, 200kHz, 150kHz, 120kHz, 100kHz,
40kHz, 331/3kHz, etc, should be selected. For 50Hz
rejection, oscillator frequencies of 250kHz, 1662/3kHz,
125kHz, 100kHz, etc. would be suitable. Note that 100kHz
(2.5 readings/second) will reject both 50Hz and 60Hz.
LED is driven from the 7-segment decoder, with a zero
reading blanked by connecting a D5 signal to RBI input of
the decoder.
A voltage translation network is connected between the comparator output of the 8068/52 and the auto-zero input of the
71C03. The purpose of this network is to assure that, during
auto-zero, the output of the comparator is at or near the
threshold of the 71C03 logic (+2.5V) while the auto-zero
capacitor is being charged to VREF (+100mV for a 200mV
instrument). Otherwise, even with 0V in, some reference integrate period would be required to drive the comparator output
to the threshold level. This would show up as an equivalent
offset error. Once the divider network has been selected, the
unit-to-unit variation should contribute less than a tenth of a
count error. A second feature is the back-to-back diodes, used
to lower the noise. In the normal operating mode they offer a
high impedance and long integrating time constant to any
noise pulses charging the auto-zero cap. At startup or recovery from an overload, their impedance is low to large signals
so that the cap can be charged up in one auto-zero cycle. The
buffer gain does not have to be set precisely at 10 since the
gain is used in both the integrate and deintegrate phase. For
scale factors other then 200mV the gain of the buffer should
be changed to give a ±2V buffer output. For 2.0000V full scale
this means unity gain and for 20,000mV (1µV resolution) a
gain of 100 is necessary. Not all 8068As can operate properly
at a gain of 100 since their offset should be less than 10mV in
order to accommodate the auto-zero circuitry. However, for
devices selected with less than 10mV offset, the noise performance is reasonable with approximately 1.5µV near full scale.
On all scales less than 200mV, the voltage translation network
should be made adjustable as an offset trim.
The auto-zero cap should be 1µF for all scales and the reference capacitor should be 1µF times the gain of the buffer
amplifier. At this value if the input leakages of the 8052/8068
are equal, the droop effects will cancel giving zero offset.
This is especially important at high temperature. Some
typical component values are shown in Table 1. For 31/2 digit
conversion, use 12kHz clock.
V++ = +15V, V+ = 5V, V- = -15V
Clock Freq. = 120kHz (41/2 Digit) or 12kHz (31/2 Digit)
TABLE 1.
The clock used should be free from significant phase or
frequency jitter. A simple two-gate oscillator and one based
on CMOS 7555 timer 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.

A suitable circuit for driving a plasma-type display is shown
in Figure 8. The high voltage anode driver buffer is made by
Dionics. The 3 AND gates and caps driving “Bl” are needed
for interdigit blanking of multiple-digit display elements, and
can be omitted if not needed. The 2K and 3K resistors set
the current levels in the display. A similar arrangement can
be used with “Nixie” tubes.
Nixie is a registered trademark of Burroughs Corporation.
Analog and Digital Grounds
Extreme care must be taken to avoid ground loops in the
layout of 8068 or 8052/71C03A circuits, especially in high
sensitivity circuits. It is most important that return currents
from digital loads are not fed into the analog ground line. Both
of the above circuits have considerable current flowing in the
digital ground returns from drivers, etc. A recommended connection sequence for the ground lines is shown in Figure 9.
Other Circuits for Display Applications
Popular LCD displays can be interfaced to the Output of the
ICL71C03 with suitable display drivers, such as the
ICM7211A as shown in Figure 10. A standard CMOS 4000
series LCD driver circuit is used for displaying the 1/2 digit,
the polarity, and the “over-range” flag. A similar circuit can be
used with the ICM7212A LED driver. Of course, another full

Figure 10 shows the complete circuit for a 41/2 digit
(±2.000V) A/D, again using the internal reference of the
8052A/8068A.
Figure 11 shows a more complicated circuit for driving LCD
displays. Here the data is latched into the ICM7211 by the
STROBE signal and “Overrange” is indicated by blanking the
4 digits. A clock oscillator circuit using the ICM7555 CMOS
timer is shown. Some other suitable clock circuits are suggested in Figures 12 and 13. The 2-gate circuit should use
CMOS gates to maintain good power supply rejection.
A problem sometimes encountered with the 8052/68/71C03
A/D is that of gross over-voltage applied in the input. Voltage
in excess of ±2.000V may cause the integrator output to
saturate. When this occurs, the integrator can no longer
source (or sink) the current required to hold the summing
junction (Pin 11) at the voltage stored on the auto zero
capacitor. As a result, the voltage across the integrator
capacitor decreases sufficiently to give a false voltage
reading. This problem can also show up as large-signal
instability on overrange conditions. A simple solution to this
problem is to use junction FET transistors across the
integrator capacitor to source (or sink) current into the
summing junction and prevent the integrator amplifier from
saturating, as shown in Figure 14.

FIGURE 14. GROSS OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION CIRCUIT
Interfacing with UARTs and
Microprocessors
Figure 15 shows a very simple interface between a free-running 8068/8052/71C03A and a UART. The five STROBE
pulses start the transmission of the five data words. The digit
5 word is 0000XXXX, digit 4 is 1000XXXX, digit 3 is
0100XXXX, etc. Also, the polarity is transmitted indirectly by
using it to drive the Even Parity Enable Pin (EPE). If EPE of
the receiver is held low, a parity flag at the receiver can be
decoded as a positive signal, no flag as negative. A complex
arrangement is shown in Figure 14. Here the UART can
instruct the A/D to begin a measurement sequence by a
word on RRI. The Busy signal resets the Data Ready Reset
(DRR). Again STROBE starts the transmit sequence. A
quad 2 input multiplexer is used to superimpose polarity,
over-range, and under-range onto the D5 word since in this
instance it is known that B2 = B4 = B8 = 0.
12-bit word capability can accept polarity, over-range, underrange, 4 bits of BCD and 5 digits simultaneously where the
8080/8048 and the MC6800 groups with 8-bit words need to
have polarity, over-range and under-range multiplexed onto
the Digit 5 word - as in the UART circuits. In each case the
microprocessor can instruct the A/D when to begin a measurement and when to hold this measurement.
Application Notes
For correct operation it is important that the UART clock be
fast enough that each word is transmitted before the next
STROBE pulse arrives. Parity is locked into the UART at
load time but does not change in this connection during an
output stream.
Circuits to interface the 71C03(A) directly with three popular
microprocessors are shown in Figures 17, 18 and 19. The
main differences in the circuits are that the IM6100 with its
