August 1997
Features
Description
• 120dB CMRR Equal to ±0.01 Count/V of Common
Mode Voltage Error
The Intersil HI7131 and HI7133 are 31/2 digit, A/D converters that have been optimized for superior DC Common
Mode Rejection (CMRR) when used with a split ±5V supply
or a single 9V battery. The HI7131 contains all the necessary active components on a single IC to directly interface an
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). The supply current is under
100µA and is ideally suited for battery operation. The HI7133
contains all the necessary active components on a single IC
to directly interface an LED (Light Emitting Diode).
• Fast Recovery from Input Overrange Results “Correct
First-Reading” After Overload
• Guaranteed 0000 Reading for 0V Input
• True Polarity at Zero for Precise Null Detection
• 1pA Input Current (Typ)
• Low Noise, 15µVP-P Without Hysteresis or Overrange
Hangover
The HI7131 and HI7133 feature high accuracy performance
like, 120dB of CMRR, auto-zero to less than 10µV of offset,
fast recovery from over load, zero drift of less than 1µV/oC,
input bias current of 10pA maximum, and rollover error of
less than one count. A true differential signal and reference
inputs are useful features in all systems, but gives the
designer an advantage when measuring load cells, strain
gauges and other bridge-type transducers.
• Low Power Dissipation, Guaranteed Less Than 1mW,
Results 8000 Hours (Typ) 9V Battery Life
The HI7131 and HI7133 are supplied in a 40 lead plastic DIP

Definition of Specifications
Theory of Operation
Count
The HI7131 and HI7133 are dual-slope integrating type A/D
converters. As the name implies, its output represents the
integral or average of the input signal. A basic block diagram
of a dual-slope integrating converter is shown in Figure 3. A
conventional conversion cycle has two distinct phases:
A Count is equal to one number change in the least significant digit of the display. The analog size of a count referred
to ADC input is:
Full Scale Range
Analog Count Size = --------------------------------------------- ,
Max Reading + 1
First, the input signal is integrated for a fixed interval of
time. This is called the signal integration phase. In this
phase, the input of the integrator is connected to the input
signal through the switch. During this time, charge builds
up on CINT , which is proportional to the input voltage.
Max reading +1 for a 31/2 digit display is 2000 (1999+1).
Zero Input Reading
The reading of the ADC display when input voltage is zero
and there is no common mode voltage, i.e., the inputs are
shorted to COMMON pin.
Ratiometric Reading
The reading of the ADC display when input voltage is equal
to reference voltage, i.e., IN HI tied to REF HI and IN LO tied
to REF LO and COMMON pins. The accuracy of reference
voltage is not important for this test.
Rollover Error
Difference in the absolute value reading of ADC display for
equal magnitude but opposite polarity inputs. The input voltage should be close to full scale, which is the worst case
condition.
Linearity
Deviation of the ADC transfer function (output reading
versus input voltage transfer plot) from the best straight line
fitted to ADC transfer plot.
Scale Factor Temperature Coefficient
The rate of change of the slope of ADC transfer function due
to the change of temperature.
Equivalent Input Noise
The total random uncertainty of the ADC for converting a
fixed input value to an output reading. This uncertainty is
referred to input as a noise source which produces the
equivalent effect. It is given for zero input and is expressed
as Peak-to-Peak noise value and submultiples of Counts.
Overload Recovery Period
A measure of how fast the ADC will display an accurate
reading when input changes from an overload condition to a
value within the range. This is given as the number of conversion cycles required after the input goes within the range.
The next phase is to discharge CINT . This is called reference
integration or deintegration phase, with the use of a fixed reference voltage. The time it takes to discharge the CINT is
directly proportional to the input signal. This time is converted to a digital readout by means of a BCD counter,
driven by a clock oscillator. During this phase, the integrator
input is connected to an opposite polarity reference voltage
through the switch to discharge CINT .
Notice that during the integration phase, the rate of charge
built up on the capacitor is proportional to the level of the
input signal, and there is a fixed period of time to integrate
the input. However, during the discharge cycle the rate of
discharge is fixed and there is a variable time period for complete discharge.
A 31/2 digit BCD counter is shown in the block diagram, the
period of integration is determined by 1000 counts of this
counter. Just prior to a measurement, the counter is reset to
zero and CINT has no charge. At the beginning of the measurement, the control logic enables the counter and the integrator input is connected to the input node. Charge begins
accumulating on CINT and the output of the integrator moves
down or up respectively for positive or negative inputs. This
process continues until the counter reaches 1000 counts.
This will signal the control logic for the start of the deintegrating cycle. The control logic resets the counter and connects
the integrator input to a reference voltage opposite to that of
the input signal. The charge accumulated on CINT is now
starting to be removed and the counter starts to count up
again. As soon as all the charge is removed, the output of
the integrator reaches 0V. This is detected by the comparator and the control logic is signaled for the end of a measurement cycle. At this time the number accumulated in the
counter is the representation of the input signal. This number
will be stored on the latches and displayed until the end of
the next measurement cycle.

FIGURE 91. DUAL SLOPE INTEGRATING A/D CONVERTER
Figure 3 shows a typical waveform of the integrator output
for 2 different positive input values and the associated representation of the counter output for those inputs. TINT is the
time period of integrating phase. t1 and t2 are the end of
measurement for 2 different inputs.
in this configuration the full scale range of the converter is
twice its reference voltage.
The dual slope integrating technique puts the primary
responsibility for accuracy on the reference voltage. The values of RINT and CINT and the clock frequency (fCLK) are not
important, provided they are stable during each conversion
cycle. This can be expressed mathematically as follows:
Furthermore, the integrating converter has extremely high
normal mode rejection of frequencies whose periods are an
integral multiple of the integrating period (TINT). This feature
can be used to reject the line frequency related noises which
are riding on input voltage by appropriate selection of clock
frequency. This is shown in Figure 4.

FIGURE 93. HI7131, HI7133 vs ICL7136, ICL7137 ANALOG SECTIONS
HI7131/33 vs ICL7136/37
Figure 5 shows the analog front end block diagram of both
HI7131/33 and ICL7136/37. The difference is the common
reference voltage generator connection and 2 extra analog
switches in the ICL7136. The HI7131 architecture uses the
INLO as the reference point of the integrator (non-inverting
input of the integrator amplifier) in all the phases of the conversion cycle. The ICL7136 uses INLO as a reference point
only during integration cycle and COMMON pin is used as
the integrator reference point during auto-zero, deintegrate,
and zero integrate phases.
The circuit configuration of the HI7131 results in a superior
120dB rejection of DC common mode on the inputs. However, the HI7131 has reduced AC common mode noise
rejection, since the noise on the INLO input can cause errors
during the deintegration phase.
The circuit configuration of the ICL7136 is unaffected by the
AC noise riding on the inputs, but the DC common mode
rejection on the input is only 86dB.

Analog Section Description
Figure 5A shows a simplified diagram of the analog section
of the HI7131 and HI7133. The circuit performs basic
phases of dual slope integration. Furthermore, the device
incorporates 2 additional phases called “Auto-Zero” and
“Zero Integrate”. The device accepts differential input signals
and reference voltages. Also, there is a reference voltage
generator which sets the COMMON pin 2.8V below the V+
supply. A complete conversion cycle is divided into the
following four phases:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Auto-Zero (A/Z)
Signal Integrate (INT)
Deintegrate or Reference Integrate (DE±)
Zero Integrate (ZI)
A typical integrator output voltage during different phases is
shown on the “Design Information Summary Sheet.” This
integrator output is for negative inputs and is referred to IN LO.
For positive inputs the integrator output will go negative.
Digital Section Description
Figure 6 shows the block diagram of the digital section of the
HI7131. The diagram shows the clock generator, control
logic, counters, latches and display decoder drivers. An
internal digital ground is generated from a 6V Zener diode
and a large P-Channel source follower. This supply is capable of absorbing the relatively large capacitive currents when
the LCD backplane (BP) and segment drivers are switched.
Display Drivers
Digitally controlled analog switches direct the appropriate
signals for each phase of the conversion.
A typical segment output driver consists of P-Channel and
N-Channel MOSFETs.
Auto-Zero Phase
An LCD consists of a backplane (BP) and segments. BP
covers the whole area under the segments. Because of the
nature of the LCDs, they should be driven by square waves.
The BP frequency is the clock frequency divided by 800. For
three readings/second this is a 60Hz square-wave with a
nominal amplitude of 5V. The segments are driven at the
same frequency and amplitude and are in phase with BP
when OFF, but out of phase when ON. In all cases negligible
DC voltage exists across the segments. The polarity indication is “ON” for negative analog inputs. If IN LO and IN HI are
reversed, this indication can be reversed also, if desired.
During auto-zero three things occur. First, IN HI is disconnected from the device internal circuitry and internally
shorted to IN LO. 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 and integrating capacitor CINT 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 10µV.
Signal Integrate Phase
During signal integrate the auto-zero loop is opened and the
internal INPUT HIGH is connected to the external pins. The
converter then integrates the differential voltage between IN
HI and IN LO for a fixed time. This differential voltage can be
within a wide input common mode range: up to 1V from
either supply. At the end of this phase, the polarity of the
integrated signal is determined.
Deintegrate Phase
The HI7131 is a direct display drive (versus multiplexed) and
each segment in each digit has its own segment driver. The
display font and the segment assignment on the display are
also shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6 shows the block diagram of the digital section of the
HI7133. The diagram shows the clock generator, control
logic, counters, latches and display decoder drivers. The
supply rails of the digital circuitry are V+ and GND.
Display Drivers
During this phase the IN LO and the internal INPUT HIGH are
connected across the previously charged reference capacitor.
The bridge type 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.
As specified before, the digital reading displayed is:
 V INHI – V INLO 
DIGITA L READING = 1000  --------------------------------------------------  .
 V REFHI – V REFLO 
Zero Integrate Phase
This phase is provided to eliminate overrange hangover and
causes fast recovery from heavy overrange. During this
phase a feedback loop is closed around the system by
connecting comparator output to internal INPUT HIGH. This
will discharge the integrator capacitor (CINT), causing the
integrator output return to zero. During this phase the reference capacitor is also connected to reference input, charging to the reference voltage.
A typical segment output consists of a P-Channel and an
N-Channel MOSFET. This configuration is designed to drive
common anode LED displays. The nominal sink current for
each segment is 8mA, a typical value for instrument size
common anode LED displays. The driver for the thousand
digit is twice as big as other segments and can sink 16mA
since it is actually driving 2 segments. The sink current for
the polarity driver is 7mA. The polarity driver is on for
negative inputs. The HI7133 is a direct display drive (versus
multiplexed) and each segment in each digit has its own segment driver. The display font and the segment assignment
on the display are also shown in Figure 7.
Clock Generator
The clock generator circuit basically includes 2 CMOS
inverters and a divide-by-4 counter. It is designed to be used
in 2 different basic configurations.

The total length of a conversion cycle is equal to 4000
counts and is independent of the input signal magnitude or
full scale range. Each phase of the conversion cycle has the
following length:
100 counts in case an overrange is detected. 990 to 2990
counts for normal conversion. For those inputs which are less
than full scale, the deintegrate length is less than 2000 counts.
Those extra counts on deintegrate phase are assigned to

Functional Considerations of Device Pins
FIGURE 95. CLOCK CIRCUITS
COMMON Pin
The oscillator output frequency is divided by 4 before it clocks
the rest of the digital section. Notice that there are 2 separate
frequencies which are referred to as; oscillator frequency
(fOSC) and clock frequency (fCLK) with the relation of:
f OSC
f CLK = -------------4
To achieve maximum rejection of 60Hz pickup, the signal
integrate cycle should be a multiple of 60Hz. For 60Hz,
rejection oscillator frequencies of 120kHz, 80kHz, 60kHz,
48kHz, 40kHz, 331/3kHz, etc. should be selected. For 50Hz
rejection, oscillator frequencies of, 100kHz, 662/3kHz, 50kHz,
40kHz, etc. would be suitable. Note that 40kHz (2.5 readings/sec) will reject both 50Hz and 60Hz (also 400Hz and
440Hz).
For the RC oscillator configuration the relationship between
oscillator frequency, R and C values are:
0.45
f OSC ≈ --------------------------------ROSC C OSC
(R in Ohms and C in Farads.)
System Timing
As it has been mentioned, the oscillator output is divided by
4 prior to clocking the digital section and specifically, the
internal decade counters. The control logic looks at the
counter outputs and comparator output (see analog section)
to form the appropriate timing for 4 phases of conversion
cycle.
The COMMON pin is the device internal reference generator
output.
The COMMON pin sets a voltage that is about 2.8V less
than the V+ supply rail. This voltage (V+ - VCOMMON) is the
on-chip reference which can be used for setting converter
reference voltage.
Within the IC, the COMMON pin is tied to an N-Channel transistor capable of sinking up to 3mA of current and still keeping
COMMON voltage within the range. However, there is only 1µA
of source current capability. The COMMON pin can be used as
a virtual ground in single supply applications when the external
analog signals need a reference point in between the supply
rails. If higher sink and source current capability is needed for
virtual ground a unity gain op-amp can be used as a buffer.
Differential Inputs (IN LO, IN HI)
The input can accept differential voltages anywhere within the
common mode range of the input amplifier, or specifically from
1V below the positive supply to 1V above the negative supply.
In this range, the system has a CMRR of 120dB (Typ).
However, care must be exercised to assure the integrator
output does not saturate. This is illustrated in Figure 8, which
shows how common mode voltage affects maximum swing on
the integrator output. Figure 8 shows the circuit configuration
during conversion. In this figure, common mode voltage is
considered as a voltage on the IN LO pin referenced to
(V+ - V-) / 2, which is usually the GND in a dual supply
system.
3-1838
HI7131, HI7133
A worst case condition would be a large positive commonmode 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 mode 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.

The TEST pin serves two functions. It is coupled to the

resistor. Thus, it can be used as the digital ground for external
digital circuits such as segment drivers for decimal points or
any other annunciator the user may want to include on the
LCD display. For these applications the external digital circuit
should be supplied between V+ and TEST pin. Figures 9 and
10 show such an application. In Figure 9 a MOSFET transistor is used to invert the BP signal to drive the decimal point.
The MOSFET can be any general purpose type with a threshold voltage less than 3.5V and ON resistance less than 500Ω.
Figure 10 uses an CMOS IC XOR gate to generate controllable decimal point drives. No more than a 1mA load should be
applied to TEST pin by any external digital circuitry.

case. See the “Component Value Selection” section for
auto-zero capacitor value.

Differential Reference (REF HI, REF LO) and Reference
Capacitor Pins (CREF +, CREF -)
As was discussed in the analog section (Figure 5), the differential reference pins are connected across the reference
capacitor (connected to pins CREF+ and CREF-) to charge it
during the zero integrate and the auto-zero phase. Then the
reference capacitor is used as either a positive or negative
reference during the deintegrate phase. The reference
capacitor acts as a flying capacitor between the reference
voltage and integrator inputs in the deintegrate phase.
The common mode voltage range for the reference inputs is
V+ to V-. The reference voltage can be generated anywhere
within the power supply range of the converter. The main
source of rollover error is reference common mode voltage
caused by the reference capacitor losing or gaining charge
to or from stray capacitance on its nodes. If there is a large
common mode voltage, the reference capacitor can gain
charge (increase voltage) when called upon to deintegrate a

The second function of the TEST pin is the “lamp test”.
When the TEST pin is pulled high (to V+) all segments will
be turned on and the display should read -1888. The test pin
will sink about 10mA under these conditions.
CAUTION: In the lamp test mode, the segments have a constant DC
voltage (no square-wave). This may burn the LCD display if
maintained for extended periods.

HI7131, HI7133
Component Selection
Auto-Zero Capacitor (CAZ)
Integrating resistors and capacitors (RINT , CINT): A guideline to achieving the best performance from an integrating
A/D converter is to try to reduce the value of RINT , increase
the value of CINT , while having the highest possible voltage
swing at the output of the integrator. This will reduce the sensitivity of the circuit to noise and leakage currents. In addition
to these guidelines the circuit limitations should also be considered.
The value of the auto-zero capacitor has some influence on
the noise of the converter. A larger value CAZ has less sensitivity to noise. For 200mV full scale (resolution of 100µV),
where noise is important, a 0.47µF or greater is recommended. On the 2V full scale, (resolution of 1mV), a 0.047µF
capacitor is adequate for low noise.
To determine RINT , the imposed circuit limitation is the maximum output drive current of the buffer amplifier (see Figure
5) while maintaining its linearity. This current for the buffer
amplifier is about 1µA. The RINT resistor can be calculated
from the expression:
V IN ( Full Scale )
R INT = ----------------------------------------1µA
The standard optimum values for RINT are 180kΩ for 200mV
full scale and 1.8MΩ for 2V full scale. Type of resistor and its
absolute value is not critical to the accuracy of conversion,
as was discussed previously.
The integrating capacitor should be selected to yield the
maximum allowable voltage range to the integrator output
(INT pin). The maximum allowable range does not saturate
the integrator output. The integrator output can swing up or
down to 0.3V from either supply rail and still maintain its linearity.
A nominal ±2V maximum range is optimum. The maximum
range values are selected in order to leave enough room for
all the component and circuit tolerances and for a reasonable common mode voltage range. The CINT value can now
be calculated as:
T INT I INT
C INT = -------------------------- ,
V INTMAX
The auto-zero capacitor should be a low leakage type to
hold the voltage during conversion cycle. A mylar or
polypropylene capacitor is recommended for CAZ .
Reference Capacitor (CREF)
As discussed earlier, the input to the integrator during the
deintegrate phase is the voltage at the reference capacitor.
The sources of error related to the reference capacitor are
stray capacitances at the CREF terminals, and the leakage
currents. Where a large common mode voltage exists for
VREF , the stray capacitances increase the rollover error by
absorbing or pumping charge onto CREF when positive or
negative inputs are measured. Leakage of the capacitor
itself or leakages through circuit boards will drop the voltage
across CREF and cause gain and rollover errors. The circuit
boards should be designed to minimize stray capacitances
and should be well cleaned to reduce leakage currents.
A 0.1µF capacitor for CREF should work properly for most
applications. When common mode voltage exists or at
higher temperatures (where device leakage currents
increase) a 1.0µF reference capacitor is recommended to
reduce errors. The CREF capacitor can be any low leakage
type, a mylar capacitor is adequate.
Those applications which have variable reference voltage
should also use a low dielectric absorption capacitor such as
polypropylene, for example, a ratiometric measurement of
resistance.
Oscillator Components
When an RC type of oscillator is desired, the oscillator
frequency is approximately expressed by:
Where TINT depends on clock frequency and was discussed
before and IINT is expressed as:
0.45
f OSC = ----------- ,
RC
V IN ( Full Scale )
I INT = ----------------------------------------- .
R INT
(R in Ohms and C in Farads), where R > 50kΩ and C > 50pF.
For 40kHz frequency which gives 2.5 readings per second, use
100K and 100pF or use 180kΩ and 50pF for lower power loss.
For 48kHz nominal oscillator frequency (12kHz clock internal
frequency), RINT equals 180kΩ for 1.8MΩ for the above
mentioned swing, the optimum value for CINT is 0.047µF.
There is a typical variation of about 5% between oscillator
frequencies of different parts. The oscillator frequency will
decrease 1% for each 25oC rise. For those applications in which
normal mode rejection of 60Hz or 50Hz line frequency is critical,
a crystal or a precision external oscillator should be used.
An additional requirement of the integrating capacitor is to
choose low dielectric absorption. This will minimize the converter’s rollover, linearity and gain error. Furthermore, the
integrating capacitor should also have low leakage current.
Different types of capacitors are adequate for this application; polypropylene capacitors provide undetectable errors at
reasonable cost and size. The absolute value of CINT does
not have any effect on accuracy.
Reference Voltage Selection
For a full scale reading the input signal is required to be
twice the reference voltage. To be more precise, the full
scale reading (±1999) takes place when the input is 1.999
times the VREF . VREF is the potential difference between
REF HI and REF LO inputs. Thus, for the nominal 200mV
and 2V ranges, VREF should be 100mV and 1V respectively.
3-1840
HI7131, HI7133
In many applications where the A/D is connected to a transducer, there will exist a scale factor other than unity between
the input voltage and the digital reading. For instance, in a
weighing system, the designer might like to have a full scale
reading when the voltage from the transducer is 0.682V.
Instead of dividing the input down to 200.0mV, the designer
should use the input voltage directly and adjust the VREF for
0.341V. Suitable values for integrating resistor and capacitor
would be 620kΩ and 0.047µF. This makes the system slightly
quieter and also avoids a divider network on the input.
The on-chip voltage reference (V+ - VCOMMON) is normally
used to provide the converter reference voltage. However,
some applications may desire to use an external reference
generator. Various possible schemes exist for reference voltage settings. Figure 11 shows the normal way of using onchip reference and also a way of using external reference.
The value of resistors on both circuit depends on the converter input voltage range. Refer to “Typical Applications”
section for various schemes.

An external reference must be used in this application, since the
voltage between V+ and V- is insufficient for correct operation of the
internal reference. COMMON holds the IN LO almost at the middle

A silicon diode-connected transistor has a temperature coefficient of about -2mV/oC. Calibration
is achieved by placing the sensing transistor in ice water and adjusting the zeroing potentiometer for a 000.0 reading. The sensor should then be placed in boiling water and the scale-factor
potentiometer adjusted for a 100.0 reading. See AD590 data sheets for alternative circuits.
