MX7575/MX7576
______________ Typical Applications
Unipolar Operation
Figure 16a shows the analog circuit connections for
unipolar operation, and Figure 16b shows the nominal
transfer characteristic for unipolar operation. Since the
offset and full-scale errors of the MX7575/MX7576 are
very small, it is not necessary to null these errors in
most cases. If calibration is required, follow the steps in
the sections below.
Offset Adjust
The offset error can be adjusted by using the offset trim
capability of an op amp (when it is used as a voltage fol-
lower) to drive the analog input, AIN. The op amp should
have a common-mode input range that includes 0V. Set
its initial input to 4.8mV (1/2LSB), while varying its offset
until the ADC output code flickers between 0000 0000
and 0000 0001.
Full-Scale Adjustment
Make the full-scale adjustment by forcing the analog
input, AIN, to 2.445V (FS - 3/2LSB). Then vary the refer-
ence input voltage until the ADC output code flickers
between 1111 1110 and 1111 1111.
Bipolar Operation
Figure 18a shows an example of the circuit connection
for bipolar operation, and Figure 18b shows the nominal
transfer characteristic for bipolar operation. The output
code provided by the MX7575 is offset binary. The ana-
log input range for this circuit is ±2.46V (1LSB =
19.22mV), even though the voltage appearing at AIN is
in the 0V to 2.46V range. In most cases, the MX7575 is
accurate enough that calibration will not be necessary. If
calibration is not needed, resistors R1–R7 should have a
0.1% tolerance, with R4 and R5 replaced by one 10kΩ
resistor, and R2 and R3 with one 1kΩ resistor. If calibra-
tion is required, follow the steps in the sections below.
Offset Adjust
Adjust the offset error by applying an analog input volt-
age of 2.43V (+FS - 3/2LSB). Then adjust resistor R5
until the output code flickers between 1111 1110 and
1111 1111.
Full-Scale Adjust
Null the full-scale error by applying an analog input
voltage of -2.45V (-FS + 1/2LSB). Then adjust resistor
R3 until the output code flickers between 0000 0000
and 0000 0001.
