TC7136/TC7136A Low Power 3-1/2 Digit Analog-to-Digital Converter Features • Fast Over Range Recovery, Ensured First Reading Accuracy • Low Temperature Drift Internal Reference - TC7136: 70ppm/°C (Typ.) - TC7136A: 35ppm/°C (Typ.) • Zero Reading with Zero Input • Low Noise: 15µVP-P • High Resolution: 0.05% • Low Input Leakage Current: 1pA (Typ.)/10pA (Max.) • Precision Null Detectors with True Polarity at Zero • High-Impedance Differential Input • Convenient 9V Battery Operation with Low Power Dissipation: 500µW (Typ.)/900µW (Max.) General Description The TC7136 and TC7136A are low power, 3-1/2 digit with liquid crystal display (LCD) drivers and analog-todigital converters. These devices incorporate an "integrator output zero" phase, which enables over range recovery. The performance of existing TC7126, TC7126A and ICL7126 based systems may be upgraded with minor changes to external, passive components. The TC7136A has an improved internal zener reference voltage circuit which maintains the analog common temperature drift to 35ppm/°C (typical) and 75ppm/°C (maximum). This represents an improvement of two to four times over similar 3-1/2 digit converters. The costly, space consuming external reference source may be removed. The TC7136 and TC7136A limit linearity error to less than 1 count on 200mV or 2V full scale ranges. The 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 currents and a 1012Ω input impedance. The differential reference input allows ratiometric measurements for ohms or bridge transducer measurements. The 15µVP-P noise performance ensures a "rock solid" reading. The auto-zero cycle enables a zero display readout for a 0V input.

BASIC DUAL SLOPE CONVERTER CINT The conventional dual slope converter measurement cycle has two distinct phases (see Figure 3-1). 1. 2. Input signal integration Reference voltage integration (de-integration) Switch Driver REF Voltage Polarity Control Phase Control Control Logic The input signal being converted is integrated for a fixed time period (tSI), 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). In a simple dual slope converter, a complete conversion requires the integrator output to "ramp up" and "ramp down." A simple mathematical equation relates the input signal, reference voltage, and integration time: Display Integrator Output VIN ≈ VREF VIN ≈ 1/2 VREF Fixed Signal Integrate Time Variable Reference Integrate Time FIGURE 3-2: NORMAL MODE REJECTION OF DUAL SLOPE CONVERTER EQUATION 3-1: Normal Mode Rejection (dB) 30 1 -------V IN ( t ) dt RC 0 t SI = -----------RC V R t RI Where: VR = Reference voltage tSI = Signal integration time (fixed) tRI = Reference voltage integration time (variable) For a constant VIN: 20 10 t = Measured Period 0 0.1/t 1/t Input Frequency 10/t EQUATION 3-2: V IN = t RI V ------Rt SI 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. 2002 Microchip Technology Inc. + – Clock Counter + – The TC7136/A is a dual slope, integrating analog-todigital converter. An understanding of the dual slope conversion technique will aid in following detailed TC7136/A operational theory. Analog Input Signal Integrator Comparator ∫ DS21461B-page 9 © TC7136/TC7136A 4.0 ANALOG SECTION In addition to the basic integrate and de-integrate dual slope cycles discussed above, the TC7136 and TC7136A designs incorporate an "integrator output zero cycle" and an "auto-zero cycle." These additional cycles ensure the integrator starts at 0V (even after a severe over range conversion) and that all offset voltage errors (buffer amplifier, integrator and comparator) are removed from the conversion. A true digital zero reading is assured without any external adjustments. A complete conversion consists of four distinct phases: 1. 2. 3. 4. Integrator output zero phase Auto-zero phase Signal integrate phase Reference de-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. 4.4 Reference Integrate Phase 4.1 Integrator Output Zero Phase This phase ensures the integrator output is at 0V before the system zero phase is entered. This ensures that true system offset voltages will be compensated for, even after an over range conversion. The count for this phase is a function of the number of counts required by the de-integrate phase. The count lasts from 11 to 140 counts for non over range conversions and from 31 to 640 counts for over range conversions. 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 internal clock periods. The digital reading displayed is: EQUATION 4-2: V IN 1000 = ---------------V REF 4.2 Auto-Zero Phase FIGURE 4-1: 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 duration is from 910 to 2900 counts for non over range conversions and from 300 to 910 counts for over range conversions.

Auto-zero phase: 3000 to 2900 counts (1200 to 11,600 clock pulses) Signal integrate: 1000 counts (4000 clock pulses) The TC7136/A contains all the segment drivers necessary to directly drive a 3-1/2 digit LCD. An LCD backplane driver is included. The backplane frequency is the external clock frequency divided by 800. For three 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, or 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 VIN- are reversed, this indicator would reverse. On the TC7136/A, when the TEST pin is pulled to V+, all segments are turned ON. The display reads -1888. During this mode, the LCD segments have a constant DC voltage impressed. 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. This time period is fixed. The integration period is: EQUATION 5-1: Where:     tSI = 4000 1 FOSC FOSC is the externally set clock frequency. 3. 4. Reference integrate: 0 to 2000 counts Zero integrator: 11 to 640 counts The TC7136 is a drop-in replacement for the TC7126 and ICL7126. The TC7136A offers a greatly improved internal reference temperature coefficient. Minor component value changes are required to upgrade existing designs and improve the noise performance. 6.0 6.1 The display font and segment drive assignment are shown in Figure 5-1. COMPONENT VALUE SELECTION Auto-Zero Capacitor (CAZ) FIGURE 5-1: DISPLAY FONT AND SEGMENT ASSIGNMENT Display Font 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 0.1µF capacitor is adequate for 2V full scale applications. A Mylar type dielectric capacitor is adequate. 1000's 100's 10's 1's 6.2 Reference Voltage Capacitor (CREF) 5.1 System Timing The oscillator frequency is divided by 4 prior to clocking the internal decade counters. The four-phase measurement cycle takes a total of 4000 counts, or 16,000 clock pulses. The 4000 count cycle is independent of input signal magnitude. 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 Integrating Capacitor (CINT) CINT should be selected to maximize integrator output voltage swing without causing output saturation. Analog common will normally supply the differential voltage reference in 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 one 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. 2002 Microchip Technology Inc. DS21461B-page 11 © TC7136/TC7136A An exact expression for CINT is: 6.5 VFS RINT Oscillator Components EQUATION 6-1:       (4000) CINT = Where: 1 FOSC VINT C OSC should be 50pF. R OSC is selected from the equation: EQUATION 6-2: FOSC = 0.45 RC FOSC = Clock frequency at Pin 38 VFS = Full scale input voltage RINT = Integrating resistor VINT = Desired full scale integrator output swing CINT must have low dielectric absorption to minimize rollover error. A polypropylene capacitor is recommended. Note that FOSC is ÷ 4 to generate the TC7136A'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 240kHz, 120kHz, 80kHz, 60kHz, 40kHz, etc. should be selected. For 50Hz rejection, oscillator frequencies of 200kHz, 100kHz, 66-2/3kHz, 50kHz, 40kHz, etc. would be suitable. Note that 40kHz (2.5 readings per second) will reject both 50Hz and 60Hz. 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 currents 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, R INT is 180kΩ. A 2V full scale requires 1.8M Ω (see Table 6-1). 6.6 Reference Voltage Selection A full scale reading (2000 counts) requires the input signal be twice the reference voltage. Required Full Scale Voltage* 200mV 2V Note: *VREF = 2VREF. VREF 100mV 1V TABLE 6-1: Component Value CAZ RINT CINT Note: Nominal Full Scale Voltage 200mV 0.47µF 180kΩ 0.047µF 2V 0.1µF 1.8M Ω 0.047µF FOSC = 48kHz (3 reading per sec). ROSC = 180kΩ, COSC = 50pF. 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 2000 lb/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 when 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. © DS21461B-page 12 2002 Microchip Technology Inc. TC7136/TC7136A 7.0 7.1 DEVICE PIN FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Differential Signal Inputs VIN+ (Pin 31), VIN- (Pin 30) The TC7136/A is designed with true differential inputs and accepts input signals within the input stage Common mode voltage range (VCM).

Common mode voltages are removed from the system when the TC7136A operates from a battery or floating power source (isolated from measured system), Common mode voltage removed in battery operation with VIN = analog common and VINis connected to analog common (VCOM) (see Figure 7-1). FIGURE 7-1: COMMON MODE VOLTAGE REMOVED IN BATTERY OPERATION WITH VIN = ANALOG COMMON Segment Drive LCD Measured System V+ VV+ VGND VBUF V+ V- CAZ VINT POL BP OSC1 OSC3 OSC2 V- TC7136 TC7136A ANALOG COMMON VREF- VREF+ V+ GND Power Source + 9V In systems where Common mode voltages exist, the 86dB 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 7-2.) 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. 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 TC7136/A offers a significantly improved analog common temperature coefficient. This potential provides a very stable voltage, suitable for use as a voltage reference. The temperature coefficient of analog common is typically 35ppm/°C.

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 below V+ if an external load attempts to pull the common line toward V+. Analog common source current is limited to 1µA. Analog common is, therefore, easily pulled to a more negative voltage (i.e., below V+ – 3V). RI = Integration resistor 2002 Microchip Technology Inc. DS21461B-page 13 © TC7136/TC7136A The TC7136/A 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 the 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 TC7136A is specifically designed to operate from a battery, or in any measurement system where input signals are not referenced (float), with respect to the TC7136A 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. With sufficiently high total supply voltage (V+ – V- > 7V), analog common is a very stable potential with excellent temperature stability (typically 35ppm/°C for TC7136A. This potential can be used to generate the TC7136A's reference voltage. An external voltage reference will be unnecessary in most cases, because of the 35ppm/°C temperature coefficient. See Section 7.5, TC7136A Internal Voltage Reference discussion.

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 not be more than 1mA. See Section 8.0, Typical Applications 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.

The "A" version of the industry standard TC7136 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; however, noise performance will be improved by increasing CAZ (see Section 6.1, Auto-Zero Capacitor).
