Reference Voltage Selection

A full-scale reading (4000 counts for TC820) requires

the input signal be twice the reference voltage.

nominal ±2V integrator swing. An exact expression for CINT

is:

CINT =

4000 VFS

VINT RINT fOSC

where: fOSC = Clock frequency

VFS = Full-scale input voltage

RINT = Integrating resistor

VINT = Desired full-scale integrator output swing

CINT must have low dielectric absorption to minimize

roll-over error. A polypropylene capacitor is recommended.

Integrating Resistor — RINT

The input buffer amplifier and integrator are designed

with class A output stages. The integrator and buffer can

supply 40µA drive currents with negligible linearity errors.

RINT is chosen to remain in the output stage linear drive

region but not so large that printed circuit board leakage

currents induce errors. For a 400mV full scale, RINT should

be about 100kΩ.

NOTES: 1. TC820 in A/D converter mode, RANGE/FREQ = logic low.

2. Not recommended.

3. VFS > 2V may exceed the input common mode range.

See "10:1 Range Change" section.

4. Full-scale voltage values are not limited to the values

shown. For example, TC820 VFS can be any value from

400mV to 2V.

In some applications, a scale factor other than unity may

exist between a transducer output voltage and the required

digital reading. Assume, for example, that a pressure trans-

ducer output is 800mV for 4000 lb/in2. Rather than dividing

the input voltage by two, the reference voltage should be set

to 400mV. This permits the transducer input to be used

directly.

The internal voltage reference potential available at

analog common will normally be used to supply the

converter's reference voltage. This potential is stable when-

ever the supply potential is greater than approximately 7V.

The low-battery detection circuit and analog common oper-

ate from the same internal reference. This ensures that the

low-battery annunciator will turn on at the time the internal

reference begins to lose regulation.

The TC820 can also operate with an external reference.

Figure 18 shows internal and external reference applica-

tions.

Ratiometric Resistance Measurements

The TC820 true differential input and differential refer-

ence make ratiometric readings possible. In 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 is passed through the pair (Fig-

ure 19). The voltage developed across the unknown is

applied to the input and voltages across the known resistor
