The ADC76 is a high quality, 16-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter. The ADC76
uses state-of-the-art laser-trimmed IC thin-film resistors and is packaged in a hermetic 32-pin dual-in-line
package. The converter is complete with internal reference, short cycling capabilities, serial output, and
thin-film scaling resistors, which allow selection of
analog input ranges of ±2.5V, ±5V, ±10V, 0 to +5V,
0 to +10V and 0 to +20V.
It is specified for operation over two temperature
ranges: 0°C to +70°C (J, K) and –25°C to +85°C (A, B).
Data is available in parallel and serial form with
corresponding clock and status output. All digital
inputs and outputs are TTL-compatible.
Power supply voltages are ±15VDC and +5VDC.

NOTES: (1) CMOS/TTL compatible, i.e., Logic “0” = 0.8V, max, Logic “1” = 2.0V, min for inputs. For digital outputs Logic “0” = 0.4V, max, Logic “1’ = 2.4V, min.
(2) Adjustable to zero. See “Optional External Gain and Offset Adjustment” section. (3) FSR means Full Scale Range. For example, unit connected for ±10V range
has 20V FSR. (4) Conversion time may be shortened with “Short Cycle” set for lower resolution and with use of Clock Rate Control. See “Optional Conversion Time
Adjustment” section. The Clock Rate Control (pin 23) should be connected to Digital Common for specified conversion time. Short Cycle (pin 32) should be left open
for 16-bit resolution or connected to the n + 1 digital output for n-bit resolution. For example, connect Short Cycle to Bit 15 (pin 15) for 14-bit resolution. For resolutions
less than 16 bits, pin 32 should also be tied to +5V through a 2kΩ resistor. (5) See Table I. CSB = Complementary Straight Binary, COB = Complementary Offset
Binary, CTC = Complementary Two’s Complement. (6) CTC coding obtained by inverting MSB (pin 1). (7) Adjustable with Clock Rate Control from approximately
933kHz to 1.4MHz.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The accuracy of a successive approximation A/D converter
is described by the transfer function shown in Figure 1. All
successive approximation A/ D converters have an inherent
quantization error of ±1/ 2LSB. The remaining errors in the
A/ D converter are combinations of analog errors due to the
linear circuitry, matching and tracking properties of the
ladder and scaling networks, power supply rejection, and
reference errors. In summary, these errors consist of initial
errors including Gain, Offset, Linearity, Differential Linearity, and Power Supply Sensitivity. Initial Gain and Offset
errors may be adjusted to zero. Gain drift over temperature
rotates the line (Figure l) about the zero or minus full scale
point (all bits Off) and Offset drift shifts the line left or right
over the operating temperature range. Linearity error is
unadjustable and is the most meaningful indicator of A/ D
converter accuracy. Linearity error is the deviation of an
actual bit transition from the ideal transition value at any
level over the range of the A/ D converter. A differential
linearity error of ±1/ 2LSB means that the width of each bit
step over the range of the A/ D converter is 1LSB, ±1/ 2LSB.

DISCUSSION
OF SPECIFICATIONS
DIFFERENTIAL LINEARITY ERROR
Differential linearity describes the step size between transition values. A differential linearity error of ±0.003% of FSR
indicates that the size of any step may not vary from the ideal
step size by more than 0.003% of Full Scale Range.
The ADC76 is specified to meet critical performance criteria
for a wide variety of applications. The most critical specifications for an A/ D converter are linearity, drift, gain and
offset errors, and conversion speed effects on accuracy. This
ADC is factory-trimmed and tested for all critical key
specifications.
ACCURACY VERSUS SPEED
In successive approximation A/ D converters, the conversion speed affects linearity and differential linearity errors.
Conversion speed and its effect on linearity and differential
linearity errors for the ADC76 are shown in Figure 6.
GAIN AND OFFSET ERROR
Initial Gain and Offset errors are factory-trimmed to typically ±0.1% of FSR (±0.05% for unipolar offset) at 25°C.
These errors may be trimmed to zero by connecting external
trim potentiometers as shown in Figures 10 and 11.
POWER SUPPLY SENSITIVITY
Changes in the DC power supply voltages will affect accuracy. The ADC76 power supply sensitivity is specified at
±0.003% of FSR/%VS for the ±15V supplies and ±0.0015%
of FSR/%VS for the +5V supply. Normally, regulated power
supplies with 1% or less ripple are recommended for use
with this ADC. See Layout Precautions, Power Supply
Decoupling, and Figure 7.

LAYOUT PRECAUTIONS
5kΩ
Analog and digital common are not connected internally in
the ADC76, but should be connected together as close to the
unit as possible, preferably to a large plane under the ADC.
If these grounds must be run separately, use a wide conductor pattern and a 0.01µF to 0.1µF nonpolarized bypass
capacitor between analog and digital commons at the unit.
Low impedance analog and digital common returns are
essential for low noise performance. Coupling between
analog inputs and digital lines should be minimized by
careful layout. The comparator input (pin 27) is extremely
sensitive to noise. Any connection to this point should be as
short as possible and shielded by Analog Common or
±15VDC supply patterns.

OUTPUT DRIVE
Normally all ADC76 logic outputs will drive two standard
TTL loads; however, if long digital lines must be driven,
external logic buffers are recommended.
INPUT IMPEDANCE
The input signal to the ADC76 should be low impedance,
such as the output of an op amp, to avoid any errors due to
the relatively low input impedance of the ADC76.
POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
The power supplies should be bypassed with tantalum or
electrolytic capacitors as shown in Figure 7 to obtain noise
free operation. These capacitors should be located close to
the ADC.

25
If this impedance is not low, a buffer amplifier should be
added between the input signal and the direct input to the
ADC76 as shown in Figure 9.

FIGURE 9. Source Impedance Buffering.
INPUT SCALING
The analog input should be scaled as close to the maximum
input signal range as possible in order to utilize the maximum signal resolution of the A/ D converter. Connect the
input signal as shown in Table II. See Figure 8 for circuit
details.
OPTIONAL EXTERNAL GAIN
AND OFFSET ADJUSTMENTS
Gain and Offset errors may be trimmed to zero using
external gain and offset trim potentiometers connected to the
ADC as shown in Figures 10 and 11. Multiturn potentiometers with 100ppm/°C or better TCRs are recommended for
minimum drift over temperature and time. These pots may
be any value from 10kΩ to 100kΩ. All resistors should be
20% carbon or better. Pin 29 (Gain Adjust) and pin 27
(Offset Adjust) may be left open if no external adjustment is
required; however, pin 29 should always be bypassed with
0.01µF to Analog Common.

shown in Figure 12. The typical conversion time versus the
Clock Rate Control voltage is shown in Figure 13. The effect
of varying the conversion time and the resolution on Linearity Error and Differential Linearity Error is shown in Figure
6.

Adjust the Offset potentiometer until the actual end point
transition voltage occurs at EIN Off. The ideal transition
voltage values of the input are given in Table I.

Figure 11. Sweep the input through the end point transition
voltage; that should cause an output transition to all bits on
EIN On. Adjust the Gain potentiometer until the actual end
point transition voltage occurs at EIN On.

CONVERT COMMAND CONSIDERATIONS
Convert command resets the converter whenever taken high.
This insures a valid conversion on the first conversion after
power-up.

Convert command must stay low during a conversion unless
it is desired to reset the converter during a conversion.
