A low-cost, high resolution indicating meter requires only a display, four resistors, and four capacitors. The TC7126A’s extremely low-power drain and 9V battery operation make it ideal for portable applications. The TC7126A reduces linearity error to less than 1 count. Rollover error (the difference in readings for equal magnitude, but opposite polarity input signals) is below ±1 count. High-impedance differential inputs offer 1pA leakage current and a 1012Ω input impedance. The 15μVP-P noise performance ensures a “rock solid” reading, and the auto-zero cycle ensures a zero display reading with a 0V input. The TC7126A features a precision, low drift internal voltage reference and is functionally identical to the TC7126. A low drift external reference is not normally required with the TC7126A.

TC7126/A 3.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION EQUATION 3-1: VRTRI 1 TSI RC 0 VIN(t)dt = RC ∫ (All Pin Designations Refer to 40-Pin PDIP.) 3.1 Dual Slope Conversion Principles The TC7126A is a dual slope, integrating analog-todigital converter. An understanding of the dual slope conversion technique will aid in following the detailed TC7126/A operation theory. The conventional dual slope converter measurement cycle has two distinct phases: Where: VR = Reference voltage TSI = Signal integration time (fixed) TRI = Reference voltage integration time (variable) For a constant VIN: EQUATION 3-2: • Input Signal Integration • Reference Voltage Integration (De-integration) The input signal being converted is integrated for a fixed time period (TSI). Time is measured by counting clock pulses. An opposite polarity constant reference voltage is then integrated until the integrator output voltage returns to zero. The reference integration time is directly proportional to the input signal (TRI) (see Figure ). Integrator – + Comparator – + Switch Driver Phase Control Polarity Control Fixed Signal Integrate Time T V RI -----RT SI Clock Control Logic Counter Display Integrator Output REF Voltage IN = The dual slope converter accuracy is unrelated to the integrating resistor and capacitor values, as long as they are stable during a measurement cycle. Noise immunity is an inherent benefit. Noise spikes are integrated or averaged to zero during integration periods. Integrating ADCs are immune to the large conversion errors that plague successive approximation converters in high noise environments. Interfering signals with frequency components at multiples of the averaging period will be attenuated. Integrating ADCs commonly operate with the signal integration period set to a multiple of the 50Hz/60Hz power line period (see Figure 3-2).

DS21458C-page 9 TC7126/A 4.0 ANALOG SECTION In addition to the basic integrate and de-integrate dual slope cycles discussed above, the TC7126A design incorporates an auto-zero cycle. This cycle removes buffer amplifier, integrator and comparator offset voltage error terms from the conversion. A true digital zero reading results without external adjusting potentiometers. A complete conversion consists of three phases: 1. 2. 3. Auto-Zero phase Signal Integrate phase Reference Integrate phase The differential input voltage must be within the device Common mode range when the converter and measured system share the same power supply common (ground). If the converter and measured system do not share the same power supply common, VIN- should be tied to analog common. Polarity is determined at the end of signal integrate phase. The sign bit is a true polarity indication, in that signals less than 1LSB are correctly determined. This allows precision null detection limited only by device noise and auto-zero residual offsets. 4.3 4.1 Auto-Zero Phase During the auto-zero phase, the differential input signal is disconnected from the circuit by opening internal analog gates. The internal nodes are shorted to analog common (ground) to establish a zero input condition. Additional analog gates close a feedback loop around the integrator and comparator. This loop permits comparator offset voltage error compensation. The voltage level established on CAZ compensates for device offset voltages. The auto-zero phase residual is typically 10μV to 15μV. The auto-zero cycle length is 1000 to 3000 clock periods. 4.2 Signal Integrate Phase Reference Integrate Phase The third phase is reference integrate or de-integrate. VIN- is internally connected to analog common and VIN+ 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 and is between 0 and 2000 counts. The digital reading displayed is: EQUATION 4-2: VIN 1000 V REF The auto-zero loop is entered and the internal differential inputs connect to VIN+ and VIN-. The differential input signal is integrated for a fixed time period. The TC7126/A signal integration period is 1000 clock periods or counts. The externally set clock frequency is divided by four before clocking the internal counters. The integration time period is: EQUATION 4-1: TSI = 4 x 1000 FOSC Where: FOSC = external clock frequency. DS21458C-page 10 © 2006 Microchip Technology Inc. TC7126/A 5.0 DIGITAL SECTION 5.1 System Timing The TC7126A contains all the segment drivers necessary to directly drive a 3-1/2 digit LCD, including an LCD backplane driver. The backplane frequency is the external clock frequency divided by 800. For 3 conversions per second, the backplane frequency is 60Hz with a 5V nominal amplitude. When a segment driver is in phase with the backplane signal, the segment is OFF. An out of phase segment drive signal causes the segment to be ON (visible). This AC drive configuration results in negligible DC voltage across each LCD segment, ensuring long LCD life. The polarity segment driver is ON for negative analog inputs. If VIN+ and VINare reversed, this indicator reverses. The oscillator frequency is divided by four prior to clocking the internal decade counters. The four-phase measurement cycle takes a total of 4000 counts (16,000 clock pulses). The 4000-count cycle is independent of input signal magnitude. On the TC7126A, when the TEST pin is pulled to V+, all segments are turned ON and the display reads 1888. During this mode, LCD segments have a constant DC voltage impressed. 2. Note: Do not leave the display in this mode for more than several minutes. LCDs may be destroyed if operated with DC levels for extended periods. The display font and segment drive assignment are shown in Figure 5-1. Each phase of the measurement cycle has the following length: 1. For signals less than full scale, the auto-zero phase is assigned the unused reference integrate time period. 1000's FIGURE 5-1: Assignment 100's 10's 1's Signal Integrate: 1000 counts (4000 clock pulses). This time period is fixed. The integration period is: EQUATION 5-1: TSI = 4000 1 FOSC Where: FOSC is the externally set clock frequency. 3. Display Font Auto-Zero Phase: 1000 to 3000 counts (4000 to 12,000 clock pulses). Reference Integrate: 0 to 2000 counts (0 to 8000 clock pulses). The TC7126A is a drop-in replacement for the TC7126 and ICL7126, which offer a greatly improved internal reference temperature coefficient. No external component value changes are required to upgrade existing designs. Display Font and Segment © 2006 Microchip Technology Inc. DS21458C-page 11 TC7126/A 6.0 6.1 COMPONENT VALUE SELECTION Auto-Zero Capacitor (CAZ) The CAZ capacitor size has some influence on system noise. A 0.47μF capacitor is recommended for 200mV full scale applications where 1LSB is 100μV. A 0.033μF capacitor is adequate for 2.0V full scale applications. A mylar type dielectric capacitor is adequate. 6.2 Reference Voltage Capacitor (CREF) The reference voltage, used to ramp the integrator output voltage back to zero during the reference integrate phase, is stored on CREF. A 0.1μF capacitor is acceptable when VREF- is tied to analog common. If a large Common mode voltage exists (VREF- – analog common) and the application requires a 200mV full scale, increase CREF to 1μF. Rollover error will be held to less than 0.5 count. A Mylar type dielectric capacitor is adequate. 6.3 6.4 Integrating Resistor (RINT) The input buffer amplifier and integrator are designed with Class A output stages. The output stage idling current is 6μA. The integrator and buffer can supply 1μA drive current with negligible linearity errors. RINT is chosen to remain in the output stage linear drive region, but not so large that PC board leakage currents induce errors. For a 200mV full scale, RINT is 180kΩ. A 2V full scale requires 1.8MΩ. Component Value CAZ Nominal Full Scale Voltage 200mV 2V 0.33μF 0.033μF RINT 180kΩ 1.8MΩ CINT 0.047μF 0.047μF Note: 6.5 FOSC = 48kHz (3 readings per sec). Oscillator Components COSC should be 50pF; ROSC is selected from the equation: Integrating Capacitor (CINT) CINT should be selected to maximize integrator output voltage swing without causing output saturation. Due to the TC7126A’s superior analog common temperature coefficient specification, analog common will normally supply the differential voltage reference. For this case, a ±2V full scale integrator output swing is satisfactory. For 3 readings per second (FOSC = 48kHz), a 0.047μF value is suggested. For 1 reading per second, 0.15μF is recommended. If a different oscillator frequency is used, CINT must be changed in inverse proportion to maintain the nominal ±2V integrator swing. An exact expression for CINT is: EQUATION 6-1: CINT = Where: FOSC = VFS = RINT = VINT = ⎛ 1 ⎞ ⎛ VFS ⎞ (4000) ⎝ F OSC ⎠ ⎝ RINT⎠ EQUATION 6-2: FOSC = 0.45 RC For a 48kHz clock (3 conversions per second), R = 180kΩ. Note that FOSC is 44 to generate the TC7126A’s internal clock. The backplane drive signal is derived by dividing FOSC by 800. To achieve maximum rejection of 60Hz noise pickup, the signal integrate period should be a multiple of 60Hz. Oscillator frequencies of 24kHz, 12kHz, 80kHz, 60kHz, 40kHz, etc. should be selected. For 50Hz rejection, oscillator frequencies of 20kHz, 100kHz, 66-2/3kHz, 50kHz, 40kHz, etc. would be suitable. Note that 40kHz (2.5 readings per second) will reject both 50Hz and 60Hz. VINT Clock frequency at Pin 38 Full scale input voltage Integrating resistor Desired full scale integrator output swing At 3 readings per second, a 750Ω resistor should be placed in series with CINT. This increases accuracy by compensating for comparator delay. CINT must have low dielectric absorption to minimize rollover error. A polypropylene capacitor is recommended. DS21458C-page 12 © 2006 Microchip Technology Inc. TC7126/A 6.6 Reference Voltage Selection A full scale reading (2000 counts) requires the input signal be twice the reference voltage. Required Full Scale Voltage* VREF 20mV 100mV 2V 1V Note: VFS = 2VREF. In some applications, a scale factor other than unity may exist between a transducer output voltage and the required digital reading. Assume, for example, a pressure transducer output for 2000lb/in2 is 400mV. Rather than dividing the input voltage by two, the reference voltage should be set to 200mV. This permits the transducer input to be used directly. The differential reference can also be used where a digital zero reading is required when VIN is not equal to zero. This is common in temperature measuring instrumentation. A compensating offset voltage can be applied between analog common and VIN-. The transducer output is connected between VIN+ and analog common. © 2006 Microchip Technology Inc. DS21458C-page 13 TC7126/A 7.0 DEVICE PIN FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION (Pin Numbers Refer to the 40-Pin PDIP.) + + Input Buffer CI RI – 7.1 Differential Signal Inputs VIN+ (Pin 31), VIN- (Pin 30) – VIN Integrator The TC7126A is designed with true differential inputs and accepts input signals within the input stage Common mode voltage range (VCM). Typical range is V+ – 1V to V- + 1V. Common mode voltages are removed from the system when the TC7126A operates from a battery or floating power source (isolated from measured system), and VIN- is connected to analog common (VCOM) (see Figure 7-2). In systems where Common mode voltages exist, the TC7126A’s 86 dB Common mode rejection ratio minimizes error. Common mode voltages do, however, affect the integrator output level. A worst-case condition exists if a large positive VCM exists in conjunction with a full scale negative differential signal. The negative signal drives the integrator output positive along with VCM (see Figure 7-1). For such applications, the integrator output swing can be reduced below the recommended 2V full scale swing. The integrator output will swing within 0.3V of V+ or V- without increased linearity error. – tI VI = VCM – VIN RI CI Where: 4000 tI = Integration time = FOSC CI = Integration capacitor RI = Integration resistor [ VCM V+ V- V+ V- GND Power Source FIGURE 7-2: DS21458C-page 14 VBUFF 7.2 Differential Reference VREF+ (Pin 36), VREF- (Pin 35) The reference voltage can be generated anywhere within the V+ to V- power supply range. To prevent rollover type errors being induced by large Common mode voltages, CREF should be large compared to stray node capacitance. The TC7126A offers a significantly improved analog common temperature coefficient. This potential provides a very stable voltage, suitable for use as a reference. The temperature coefficient of analog common is typically 35ppm/°C for the TC7126A and 80 ppm/°C for the TC7126.

TC7126/A Analog Common (Pin 32) The analog common pin is set at a voltage potential approximately 3V below V+. The potential is between 2.7V and 3.35V below V+. Analog common is tied internally to an N-channel FET capable of sinking 100μA. This FET will hold the common line at 3V should an external load attempt to pull the common line toward V+. Analog common source current is limited to 1μA. Therefore, analog common is easily pulled to a more negative voltage (i.e., below V+ – 3V). The TC7126A connects the internal VIN+ and VINinputs to analog common during the auto-zero phase. During the reference integrate phase, VIN- is connected to analog common. If VIN- is not externally connected to analog common, a Common mode voltage exists, but is rejected by the converter’s 86dB Common mode rejection ratio. In battery operation, analog common and VIN- are usually connected, removing Common mode voltage concerns. In systems where VIN- is connected to power supply ground or to a given voltage, analog common should be connected to VIN-. The analog common pin serves to set the analog section reference, or common point. The TC7126A is specifically designed to operate from a battery, or in any measurement system where input signals are not referenced (float) with respect to the TC7126A’s power source. The analog common potential of V+ – 3V gives a 7V end of battery life voltage. The common potential has a 0.001%/% voltage coefficient and a 15Ω output impedance. With sufficiently high total supply voltage (V+ – V- > 7V), analog common is a very stable potential with excellent temperature stability (typically 35ppm/°C). This potential can be used to generate the TC7126A’s reference voltage. An external voltage reference will be unnecessary in most cases because of the 35ppm/°C temperature coefficient. See Section 7.5 “TC7126A Internal Voltage Reference”, TC7126A Internal Voltage Reference discussion. 7.4 TEST (Pin 37) The TEST pin potential is 5V less than V+. TEST may be used as the negative power supply connection for external CMOS logic. The TEST pin is tied to the internally generated negative logic supply through a 500Ω resistor. The TEST pin load should be no more than 1mA. See Section 5.0 “DIGITAL SECTION”, Digital Section for additional information on using TEST as a negative digital logic supply. If TEST is pulled HIGH (to V+), all segments plus the minus sign will be activated. DO NOT OPERATE IN THIS MODE FOR MORE THAN SEVERAL MINUTES. With TEST = V+, the LCD segments are impressed with a DC voltage which will destroy the LCD. © 2006 Microchip Technology Inc. 7.5 TC7126A Internal Voltage Reference The TC7126A’s analog common voltage temperature stability has been significantly improved (Figure 7-3). The “A” version of the industry standard TC7126 device allows users to upgrade old systems and design new systems, without external voltage references. External R and C values do not need to be changed.

In a ratiometric operation, an unknown resistance is measured with respect to a known standard resistance. No accurately defined reference voltage is needed. The unknown resistance is put in series with a known standard and a current passed through the pair. The voltage developed across the unknown is applied to the input and the voltage across the known resistor is applied to the reference input. If the unknown equals the standard, the display will read 1000. The displayed reading can be determined from the following expression: EQUATION 8-1: Displayed (Reading) = DS21458C-page 16 RUNKNOWN x 1000 RSTANDARD © 2006 Microchip Technology Inc.
