UNIPOLAR OPERATION
The basic operation for the AD7575 is in the unipolar single
supply mode. Figure 15 shows the circuit connections to achieve
this, while the nominal transfer characteristic for unipolar opera-
tion is given in Figure 16. Since the offset and full-scale errors
on the AD7575 are very small, in many cases it will not be nec-
essary to adjust out these errors. If calibration is required, the
procedure is as follows:
Offset Adjust
Offset error adjustment in single-supply systems is easily achiev-
able by means of the offset null facility of an op amp when used
as a voltage follower for the analog input signal, AIN. The op
amp chosen should be able to operate from a single supply and
allow a common-mode input voltage range that includes 0 V
(e.g., TLC271). To adjust for zero offset, the input signal
source is set to +4.8 mV (i.e., 1/2 LSB) while the op amp offset
is varied until the ADC output code flickers between 000 . . . 00
and 000 . . . 01.
Full-Scale Adjust
The full scale or gain adjustment is made by forcing the analog
input AIN to +2.445 V (i.e., Full-Scale Voltage –3/2 LSB). The
magnitude of the reference voltage is then adjusted until the
ADC output code flickers between 111 . . . 10 and 111. . . 11.
BIPOLAR OPERATION
The circuit of Figure 17 shows how the AD7575 can be config-
ured for bipolar operation. The output code provided by the
AD7575 is offset binary. The analog input voltage range is
±5 V, although the voltage appearing at the AIN pin of the
AD7575 is in the range 0 V to +2.46 V. Figure 18 shows the
transfer function for bipolar operation. The LSB size is now
39.06 mV. Calibration of the bipolar operation is outlined be-
low. Once again, because the errors are small, it may not be
necessary to adjust them. To maintain specified performance
without the calibration, all resistors should be 0.1% tolerance
with R4 and R5 replaced by one 3.3 k resistor and R2 and R3
replaced by one 2.5 k resistor.
Offset Adjust
Offset error adjustment is achieved by applying an analog input
voltage of –4.9805 V (–FS +1/2 LSB). Resistor R3 is then
adjusted until the output code flickers between 000 . . . 00 and
000 . . . 01.
Full-Scale Adjust
Full-scale or gain adjustment is made by applying an analog
input voltage of +4.9414 V (+FS –3/2 LSB). Resistor R4 is then
adjusted until the output code flickers between 111 . . . 10 and
111. . . 11.

APPLICATION HINTS
1. NOISE: Both the input signal lead to AIN and the signal
return lead from AGND should be kept as short as possible to
minimize input-noise coupling. In applications where this is
not possible, either a shielded cable or a twisted pair transmis-
sion line between source and ADC is recommended. Also,
since any potential difference in grounds between the signal
source and ADC appears as an error voltage in series with the
input signal, attention should be paid to reducing the ground
circuit impedance as much as possible. In general, the source
resistance should be kept below 2 k. Larger values of source
resistance can cause undesired system noise pickup.
2. PROPER LAYOUT: Layout for a printed circuit board
should ensure that digital and analog lines are kept separated
as much as possible. In particular, care should be taken not to
run any digital track alongside an analog signal track. Both the
analog input and the reference input should be screened by
AGND. A single point analog ground separate from the logic
system ground, should be established at or near the AD7575.
This single point analog ground subsystem should be con-
nected to the digital system ground by a single-track connec-
tion only. Any reference bypass capacitors, analog input filter
capacitors or input signal shielding should be returned to the
analog ground point.
AD7575 WITH AD589 REFERENCE
The AD7575 8-bit A/D converter features a total unadjusted
error specification over its entire operating temperature range.
This total unadjusted error includes all errors in the A/D con-
verter—offset, full scale and linearity. The one feature not pro-
vided on the AD7575 is a voltage reference. This section
discusses the use of the AD589 bandgap reference with the
AD7575, and gives the combined reference and ADC error
budget over the full operating temperature range. This allows
the user to compare the combined AD589/AD7575 errors to
ADCs whose specifications include on-chip references.
Two distinct application areas exist. The first is where the refer-
ence voltage and the analog input voltage are derived from the
same source. In other words, if the reference voltage varies, the
analog input voltage range varies by a ratioed amount. In this
case, the user is not worried about the absolute value of the
reference voltage. The second case is where changes in the refer-
ence voltage are not matched by changes in the analog input
voltage range. Here, the absolute value of the reference voltage,
and its drift over temperature, are of prime importance. Both
applications are discussed below.
If the analog input range varies with the reference voltage, the
part is said to be operating ratiometrically. This is representative
of many applications. If the reference is on-chip, and the user
does not have access to it, it is not possible to get ratiometric
operation. Since the AD7575 uses an external reference, it can
be used in ratiometric applications. However, because the part is
specified with a reference of +1.23 V ± 5%, then the voltage
range for ratiometric operation is limited.
The error analysis over temperature of ratiometric applications
is different from nonratiometric ones. Since the reference and
analog input voltage range are ratioed to each other, tempera-
ture variations in the reference are matched by variations in the
analog input range. Therefore, the AD589 contributes no addi-
tional errors over temperature to the system errors, and the
combined total unadjusted error specification for the AD589
and AD7575 is as per the total unadjusted error specification in
this data sheet.
With nonratiometric applications, however, the analog input
range stays the same if the reference varies and a full-scale error
is introduced. The amount by which the reference varies deter-
mines the amount of error introduced. The AD589 is graded on
temperature coefficient; therefore, selection of different grades
allows the user to tailor the amount of error introduced to suit
the system requirements. The reference voltage from the AD589
can lie between 1.2 V and 1.25 V. This reference voltage can be
adjusted for the desired full-scale voltage range using the circuit
outlined in Figure 19. For example, if an analog input voltage
range of 0 V to +2.46 V is required, the reference should be
adjusted to +1.23 V. Once the reference is adjusted to the de-
sired value at 25°C, the total error is as per the total unadjusted
error specification on the AD7575 specification pages. (To
reduce this still further, offset and full-scale errors of the
AD7575 can be adjusted out using the calibration procedure
outlined in this data sheet.)

However, it is as the temperature varies from 25°C that the
AD589 starts to introduce errors. The typical temperature char-
acteristics of the AD589 are shown in Figure 20. The tempera-
ture coefficients (TCs) represent the slopes of the diagonals of
the error band from +25°C to T
MIN
and +25°C to T
MAX
. The
AD589 TC is specified in ppm/°C max and is offered in four
different grades.

REV. B
Taking the 25°C measurement as the starting point, the
full-scale error introduced is always in the negative direction
whether the temperature goes to T
MIN
or T
MAX
. This can be
seen from the AD589 temperature characteristic shown in Fig-
ure 20. If the reference voltage is adjusted for 1.23 V at 45°C
(for the 0°C to +70°C range) and 75°C (for the –55°C to
+125°C range) the magnitude of the error introduced is reduced
since it is distributed in both the positive and negative direc-
tions. Alternatively, this can be achieved not by adjusting at
these temperatures, which would be impractical, but by adjust-
ing the reference to 1.231 V instead of 1.23 V (for the extended
temperature range) at 25°C. This has the required effect of
distributing the plot of Figure 20 more evenly about the desired
value.
An additional error source is the mismatch between the tem-
perature coefficients (TCs) of the 10 k and 1 k resistors in
the feedback loop of the TLC271. If these resistors have
±50 ppm/°C absolute TCs, the worst case difference in drift be-
tween both resistors is 100 ppm/°C. From +25°C to +125°C, this
introduces a worst case shift of 1.22 mV, which results in an addi-
tional full-scale error of 0.25 LSB. If ±25 ppm/°C
resistors are
used, then the worst case error is 0.13 LSB. Over the 0°C to
+70°C range, the ±50 ppm/°C resistors introduce an additional
full-scale error of 0.11 LSB. All these errors are worst case and
assume that the resistance values drift in opposite directions. In
practice, resistors of the same type, and from the same manufac-
turer, would drift in the same direction and hence the above
error would be considerably reduced. An additional error source
is the offset drift of the TLC271. This is significant only over
the –55°C to +125°C range and, even in this case, it contrib-
utes <0.1 LSB worth of full-scale error.
The error outlined in the right-hand column of Table I is a total
unadjusted error specification, excluding resistor and offset drift
(the effect of these can be controlled by the user). It consists of
errors from two error sources: a ±l LSB contribution from the
AD7575 (including full-scale, offset and relative accuracy er-
rors), and the remainder is a full-scale error introduced by the
AD589. It is important to note that the variation of the AD589
voltage only introduces a full-scale error; the relative accuracy
(or endpoint nonlinearity) of the system, with a top grade
AD7575, is still ±1/2 LSB (i.e., 8-bits accurate).

Figure 20. Typical AD589 Temperature Characteristics
The effect the TC has on the system error is that it introduces a
full-scale error in the ADC. This, in turn, affects the total unad-
justed error specification. For example, using the AD589KH
with a 50 ppm/°C max TC the change in reference voltage from
25°C to 70°C will be from 1.23 V to 1.22724 V, a change of –
2.76 mV. This results in a change in the full-scale range of the
ADC of –5.52 mV, since the full-scale range on the AD7575 is
2 V
REF
. Because the LSB size for the AD7575 is 9.61 mV, the
AD589 introduces an additional full-scale error of –0.57 LSBs
on top of the existing full-scale error specification for the ADC.
Since the total unadjusted error specification for the ADC
includes the full-scale error, there is also a corresponding in-
crease in the total unadjusted error of –0.57 LSBs. The change
in reference voltage at 0°C is –1.5 mV, resulting in a full-scale
change of –3 mV or –0.31 LSBs worth of full-scale error. Table I
shows the amount of additional total unadjusted error, which is
introduced by the temperature variation of the AD589, for
different grades and for different temperature ranges. This table
applies only to nonratiometric applications, because the tem-
perature variation of the reference does not affect the system
error in ratiometric applications as outlined earlier. It shows the
amount of error introduced over T
MIN
to T
MAX
for a system in
which the reference has been adjusted to the desired value at
25°C. The final or right-most column of the table gives the total
combined error for the AD589 and the top grade AD7575.
