INT
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 0.047F capacitor may be used. The capacitor must have a low
dielectric constant to prevent rollover errors. See Section 6.3 “Integrating Capaci-
tor (CINT)”, Integrating Capacitor for additional details.
28 (13) V

and a 1.8M resistor for a 2V full scale range.
29 (12) C

The size of the auto-zero capacitor influences system noise. Use a 0.33F capacitor
for 200mV full scale, and a 0.033F capacitor for 2V full scale. See Section 6.1

This pin is primarily used to set the Analog Common mode voltage for battery opera-

+A 0.1F capacitor is used in most applications. If a large Common mode voltage
exists (for example, the V
IN
- pin is not at analog common) and a 200mV scale is
used, a 1F capacitor is recommended and will hold the rollover error to 0.5 count.

2V full scale. See Section 6.6 “Reference Voltage Selection”, Reference Voltage
for additional information.
37 (4) TEST Lamp test. When pulled HIGH (to V+), all segments will be turned on and the display
should read -1888. It may also be used as a negative supply for externally
generated decimal points. See Section 7.4 “TEST (Pin 37)”, TEST for additional
information.

39 (2) OSC2 See Pin 40.
40 (1) OSC1 Pins 40, 39 and 38 make up the oscillator section. For a 48kHz clock (3 readings,
39 per second), connect Pin 40 to the junction of a 180k resistor and a 50pF
capacitor. The 180k resistor is tied to Pin 39 and the 50pF capacitor is tied to
Pin 38.

3.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
(All Pin Designations Refer to 40-Pin PDIP.)
3.1 Dual Slope Conversion Principles
The TC7126A is a dual slope, integrating analog-to-
digital 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:
Input Signal Integration
Reference Voltage Integration (De-integration)
The input signal being converted is integrated for a
fixed time period (T
SI
). 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 (T
RI
) (see
Figure ).
FIGURE 3-1: Basic Dual Slope Converter
In a simple dual slope converter, a complete conver-
sion requires the integrator output to “ramp-up” and
“ramp-down.”
A simple mathematical equation relates the input
signal, reference voltage and integration time:
EQUATION 3-1:
For a constant V
IN
:
EQUATION 3-2:
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 inte-
grated or averaged to zero during integration periods.
Integrating ADCs are immune to the large conversion
errors that plague successive approximation convert-
ers 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).
