TC7126/A 3-1/2 Digit Analog-to-Digital Converters Features: • Internal Reference with Low Temperature Drift: - TC7126: 80ppm/°C, Typical - TC7126A: 35ppm/°C, Typical • 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 TC7126A is a 3-1/2 digit CMOS Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) containing all the active components necessary to construct a 0.05% resolution measurement system. Seven-segment decoders, digit and polarity drivers, voltage reference, and clock circuit are integrated on-chip. The TC7126A directly drives a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), and includes a backplane driver. 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.

The integrating capacitor should be selected to give the maximum voltage swing that ensures component tolerance buildup will not allow the integrator output to saturate. When analog common is used as a reference and the conversion rate is 3 readings per second, a 0.047μF capacitor may be used. The capacitor must have a low dielectric constant to prevent rollover errors. See Section 6.3 “Integrating Capacitor (CINT)”, Integrating Capacitor for additional details.

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: • 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 ). Where: VR = Reference voltage TSI = Signal integration time (fixed) TRI = Reference voltage integration time (variable) For a constant VIN: EQUATION 3-2: V IN = V RI -----RT SI T Switch Driver REF Voltage Phase Control Polarity Control Control Logic Normal Mode Rejection (dB) Integrator Output Display VIN » VREF VIN » 1.2 VREF Variable Reference Integrate Time Fixed Signal Integrate Time FIGURE 3-1: Basic Dual Slope Converter 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: © 2006 Microchip Technology Inc. + – Clock Counter + – Analog Input Signal Integrator Comparator 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). 30 20 10 t = Measurement Period 0 0.1/t 1/t Input Frequency 10/t FIGURE 3-2: Normal Mode Rejection of Dual Slope Converter 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. 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 4.2 Signal Integrate Phase 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. 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. 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 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. Each phase of the measurement cycle has the following length: 1. Auto-Zero Phase: 1000 to 3000 counts (4000 to 12,000 clock pulses). For signals less than full scale, the auto-zero phase is assigned the unused reference integrate time period. 2. Signal Integrate: 1000 counts (4000 clock pulses). This time period is fixed. The integration period is: EQUATION 5-1: TSI = 4000 1 FOSC The display font and segment drive assignment are shown in Figure 5-1. Where: FOSC is the externally set clock frequency. 3. Reference Integrate: 0 to 2000 counts (0 to 8000 clock pulses). Display Font 1000's 100's 10's 1's 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. FIGURE 5-1: Assignment Display Font and Segment © 2006 Microchip Technology Inc. DS21458C-page 11 TC7126/A 6.0 6.1 COMPONENT VALUE SELECTION Auto-Zero Capacitor (CAZ) 6.4 Integrating Resistor (RINT) 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. 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 RINT CINT Note: Nominal Full Scale Voltage 200mV 0.33μF 180kΩ 0.047μF 2V 0.033μF 1.8MΩ 0.047μF 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. FOSC = 48kHz (3 readings per sec). 6.5 Oscillator Components COSC should be 50pF; ROSC is selected from the equation: 6.3 Integrating Capacitor (CINT) EQUATION 6-2: FOSC = 0.45 RC 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: 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. EQUATION 6-1: ⎛ 1 ⎞ ⎛ VFS ⎞ (4000) ⎝ F OSC ⎠ ⎝ RINT⎠ VINT CINT = Where: FOSC = VFS = RINT = 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.

Required Full Scale Voltage* 20mV 2V Note: VFS = 2VREF. VREF 100mV 1V 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.

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. [ [ FIGURE 7-1: Common Mode Voltage Reduces Available Integrator Swing (VCOM ≠ VIN) 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.

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. 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. Figure 7-4 shows analog common supplying the necessary voltage reference for the TC7126A. 200 180 No Maximum Specified Typical Analog Commom Temperature Coefficient (ppm/°C) 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 Typical Maximum No Maximum Specified Typical TC7126A 0 ICL7126 ICL7136 FIGURE 7-3: Coefficient Analog Common Temp. 9V + 26 V- 1 V+ 240kΩ 7.4 TEST (Pin 37) TC7126A VREF+ 36 VREF VREF35 10kΩ 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. ANALOG 32 COMMON SET VREF = 1/2 VREF 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. FIGURE 7-4: TC7126A Internal Voltage Reference Connection © 2006 Microchip Technology Inc.

The TEST pin may be used as the negative supply for external CMOS gate segment drivers. LCD annunciators for decimal points, low battery indication, or function indication may be added, without adding an additional supply. No more than 1mA should be supplied by the TEST pin; its potential is approximately 5V below V+ (see Figure ). 8.4 Ratiometric Resistance Measurements The TC7126A’s true differential input and differential reference make ratiometric reading possible. 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) = RUNKNOWN x 1000 RSTANDARD DS21458C-page 16 © 2006 Microchip Technology Inc. TC7126/A The display will over range for RUNKNOWN ≥ 2 x RSTANDARD (see Figure 8-2).
