DESCRIPTION
The ADC0803 family is a series of three CMOS 8-bit successive
approximation A/D converters using a resistive ladder and
capacitive array together with an auto-zero comparator. These
converters are designed to operate with microprocessor-controlled
buses using a minimum of external circuitry. The 3-State output data
lines can be connected directly to the data bus.
The differential analog voltage input allows for increased
common-mode rejection and provides a means to adjust the
zero-scale offset. Additionally, the voltage reference input provides a
means of encoding small analog voltages to the full 8 bits of
resolution.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
These devices operate on the Successive Approximation principle.
Analog switches are closed sequentially by successive
approximation logic until the input to the auto-zero comparator
[V
IN(+)–VIN(–) ] matches the voltage from the decoder. After all bits
are tested and determined, the 8-bit binary code corresponding to
the input voltage is transferred to an output latch. Conversion begins
with the arrival of a pulse at the WR input if the CS input is low. On
the High-to-Low transition of the signal at the WR or the CS input,
the SAR is initialized, the shift register is reset, and the INTR output
is set high. The A/D will remain in the reset state as long as the CS
and WR inputs remain low. Conversion will start from one to eight
clock periods after one or both of these inputs makes a Low-to-High
transition. After the conversion is complete, the INTR pin will make a
High-to-Low transition. This can be used to interrupt a processor, or
otherwise signal the availability of a new conversion result. A read
(RD) operation (with CS low) will clear the INTR line and enable the
output latches. The device may be run in the free-running mode as
described later. A conversion in progress can be interrupted by
issuing another start command.
Digital Control Inputs
The digital control inputs (CS, WR, RD) are compatible with
standard TTL logic voltage levels. The required signals at these
inputs correspond to Chip Select, START Conversion, and Output
Enable control signals, respectively. They are active-Low for easy
interface to microprocessor and microcontroller control buses. For
applications not using microprocessors, the CS input (Pin 1) can be
grounded and the A/D START function is achieved by a
negative-going pulse to the WR input (Pin 3). The Output Enable
function is achieved by a logic low signal at the RD input (Pin 2),
which may be grounded to constantly have the latest conversion
present at the output.
ANALOG OPERATION
Analog Input Current
The analog comparisons are performed by a capacitive charge
summing circuit. The input capacitor is switched between VIN(+)4
and VIN(–), while reference capacitors are switched between taps on
the reference voltage divider string. The net charge corresponds to
the weighted dif ference between the input and the most recent total
value set by the successive approximation register.
The internal switching action causes displacement currents to flow
at the analog inputs. The voltage on the on-chip capacitance is
switched through the analog differential input voltage, resulting in
proportional currents entering the VIN(+) input and leaving the VIN(–)
input. These transient currents occur at the leading edge of the
internal clock pulses. They decay rapidly so do not inherently cause
errors as the on-chip comparator is strobed at the end of the clock
period.
Input Bypass Capacitors and Source Resistance
Bypass capacitors at the input will average the charges mentioned
above, causing a DC and an AC current to flow through the output
resistance of the analog signal sources. This charge pumping action
is worse for continuous conversions with the VIN(+) input at full
scale. This current can be a few microamps, so bypass capacitors
should NOT be used at the analog inputs of the VREF/2 input for
high resistance sources (> 1 k). If input bypass capacitors are
desired for noise filtering and a high source resistance is desired to
minimize capacitor size, detrimental effects of the voltage drop
across the input resistance can be eliminated by adjusting the full
scale with both the input resistance and the input bypass capacitor
in place. This is possible because the magnitude of the input current
is a precise linear function of the differential voltage.

ADC0803/0804CMOS 8-bit A/D converters

Large values of source resistance where an input bypass capacitor
is not used will not cause errors as the input currents settle out prior
to the comparison time. If a low pass filter is required in the system,
use a low valued series resistor (< 1 k) for a passive RC section or
add an op amp active filter (low pass). For applications with source
resistances at or below 1 k, a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor at the inputs
will prevent pickup due to series lead inductance or a long wire. A
100 series resistor can be used to isolate this capacitor (both the
resistor and capacitor should be placed out of the feedback loop)
from the output of the op amp, if used.
Analog Differential Voltage Inputs and
Common-Mode Rejection
These A/D converters have additional flexibility due to the analog
differential voltage input. The VIN(–) input (Pin 7) can be used to
subtract a fixed voltage from the input reading (tare correction). This
is also useful in a 4/20 mA current loop conversion. Common-mode
noise can also be reduced by the use of the differential input.
The time interval between sampling VIN(+) and VIN(–) is 4.5 clock
periods. The maximum error due to this time difference is given by:
V(max) = (VP) (2fCM) (4.5/fCLK),
where:
V = error voltage due to sampling delay
VP = peak value of common-mode voltage
fCM = common mode frequency
For example, with a 60 Hz common-mode frequency, fcm, and a
1 MHz A/D clock, fCLK, keeping this error to 1/4 LSB (about 5 mV)
would allow a common-mode voltage, VP, which is given by:
VP+[V(max) (fCLK)
(2fCM)(4.5)
or
VP+(5 x 10*3)(10
4)
(6.28) (60) (4.5) +2.95V
The allowed range of analog input voltages usually places more
severe restrictions on input common-mode voltage levels than this,
however.
An analog input span less than the full 5 V capability of the device,
together with a relatively large zero offset, can be easily handled by
use of the differential input. (See Reference Voltage Span Adjust).
Noise and Stray Pickup
The leads of the analog inputs (Pins 6 and 7) should be kept as
short as possible to minimize input noise coupling and stray signal
pick-up. Both EMI and undesired digital signal coupling to these
inputs can cause system errors. The source resistance for these
inputs should generally be below 5 k to help avoid undesired noise
pickup. Input bypass capacitors at the analog inputs can create
errors as described previously. Full scale adjustment with any input
bypass capacitors in place will eliminate these errors.
Reference Voltage
For application flexibility, these A/D converters have been designed
to accommodate fixed reference voltages of 5V to Pin 20 or 2.5 V to
Pin 9, or an adjusted reference voltage at Pin 9. The reference can
be set by forcing it at VREF/2 input, or can be determined by the
supply voltage (Pin 20). Figure 6 indicates how this is accomplished.
Reference Voltage Span Adjust
Note that the Pin 9 (VREF/2) voltage is either 1/2 the voltage applied
to the VCC supply pin, or is equal to the voltage which is externally
forced at the VREF/2 pin. In addition to allowing for flexible
references and full span voltages, this also allows for a ratiometric
voltage reference. The internal gain of the VREF/2 input is 2, making
the full-scale differential input voltage twice the voltage at Pin 9.
For example, a dynamic voltage range of the analog input voltage
that extends from 0 to 4 V gives a span of 4 V (4–0), so the VREF/2
voltage can be made equal to 2 V (half of the 4 V span) and full
scale output would correspond to 4 V at the input.
On the other hand, if the dynamic input voltage had a range of
0.5 to 3.5 V, the span or dynamic input range is 3 V (3.5–0.5). To
encode this 3 V span with 0.5 V yielding a code of zero, the
minimum expected input (0.5 V, in this case) is applied to the VIN(–)
pin to account for the offset, and the VREF/2 pin is set to 1/2 the 3 V
span, or 1.5 V. The A/D converter will now encode the VIN(+) signal
between 0.5 and 3.5 V with 0.5 V at the input corresponding to a
code of zero and 3.5 V at the input producing a full scale output
code. The full 8 bits of resolution are thus applied over this reduced
input voltage range. The required connections are shown in
Figure 7.
Operating Mode
These converters can be operated in two modes:
1) absolute mode
2) ratiometric mode
In absolute mode applications, both the initial accuracy and the
temperature stability of the reference voltage are important factors in
the accuracy of the conversion. For VREF/2 voltages of 2.5 V, initial
errors of ±10 mV will cause conversion errors of ±1 LSB due to the
gain of 2 at the VREF/2 input. In reduced span applications, the initial
value and stability of the VREF/2 input voltage become even more
important as the same error is a larger percentage of the VREF/2
nominal value. See Figure 8.
In ratiometric converter applications, the magnitude of the reference
voltage is a factor in both the output of the source transducer and
the output of the A/D converter, and, therefore, cancels out in the
final digital code. See Figure 9.
Generally, the reference voltage will require an initial adjustment.
Errors due to an improper reference voltage value appear as
full-scale errors in the A/D transfer function.
ERRORS AND INPUT SPAN ADJUSTMENTS
There are many sources of error in any data converter, some of
which can be adjusted out. Inherent errors, such as relative
accuracy, cannot be eliminated, but such errors as full-scale and
zero scale offset errors can be eliminated quite easily. See Figure 7.
Zero Scale Error
Zero scale error of an A/D is the difference of potential between the
ideal 1/2 LSB value (9.8 mV for VREF/2=2.500 V) and that input
voltage which just causes an output transition from code 0000 0000
to a code of 0000 0001.
If the minimum input value is not ground potential, a zero offset can
be made. The converter can be made to output a digital code of
0000 0000 for the minimum expected input voltage by biasing the
VIN(–) input to that minimum value expected at the VIN(–) input to
that minimum value expected at the VIN(+) input. This uses the
differential mode of the converter. Any offset adjustment should be
done prior to full scale adjustment.

Full Scale Adjustment
Full scale gain is adjusted by applying any desired offset voltage to
VIN(–), then applying the VIN(+) a voltage that is 1-1/2 LSB less than
the desired analog full-scale voltage range and then adjusting the
magnitude of VREF/2 input voltage (or the VCC supply if there is no
VREF/2 input connection) for a digital output code which just
changes from 1111 1110 to 1111 1111. The ideal VIN(+) voltage for
this full-scale adjustment is given by:
VIN())+VIN(*)*1.5 x VMAX *VMIN
255
where:
VMAX = high end of analog input range (ground referenced)
VMIN = low end (zero offset) of analog input (ground referenced)
CLOCKING OPTION
The clock signal for these A/Ds can be derived from external
sources, such as a system clock, or self-clocking can be
accomplished by adding an external resistor and capacitor, as
shown in Figure 11.
Heavy capacitive or DC loading of the CLK R pin should be avoided
as this will disturb normal converter operation. Loads less than 50pF
are allowed. This permits driving up to seven A/D converter CLK IN
pins of this family from a single CLK R pin of one converter. For
larger loading of the clock line, a CMOS or low power TTL buffer or
PNP input logic should be used to minimize the loading on the CLK
R pin.
Restart During a Conversion
A conversion in process can be halted and a new conversion began
by bringing the CS and WR inputs low and allowing at least one of
them to go high again. The output data latch is not updated if the
conversion in progress is not completed; the data from the
previously completed conversion will remain in the output data
latches until a subsequent conversion is completed.
Continuous Conversion
To provide continuous conversion of input data, the CS and RD
inputs are grounded and INTR output is tied to the WR input. This
INTR/WR connection should be momentarily forced to a logic low
upon power-up to insure circuit operation. See Figure 10 for one
way to accomplish this.
DRIVING THE DATA BUS
This CMOS A/D converter, like MOS microprocessors and
memories, will require a bus driver when the total capacitance of the
data bus gets large. Other circuitry tied to the data bus will add to
the total capacitive loading, even in the high impedance mode.
There are alternatives in handling this problem. The capacitive
loading of the data bus slows down the response time, although DC
specifications are still met. For systems with a relatively low CPU
clock frequency, more time is available in which to establish proper
logic levels on the bus, allowing higher capacitive loads to be driven
(see T ypical Performance Characteristics).
At higher CPU clock frequencies, time can be extended for I/O
reads (and/or writes) by inserting wait states (8880) or using
clock-extending circuits (6800, 8035).
Finally, if time is critical and capacitive loading is high, external bus
drivers must be used. These can be 3-State buffers (low power
Schottky is recommended, such as the N74LS240 series) or special
higher current drive products designed as bus drivers. High current
bipolar bus drivers with PNP inputs are recommended as the PNP
input offers low loading of the A/D output, allowing better response
time.
POWER SUPPLIES
Noise spikes on the VCC line can cause conversion errors as the
internal comparator will respond to them. A low inductance filter
capacitor should be used close to the converter VCC pin and values
of 1 µF or greater are recommended. A separate 5 V regulator for
the converter (and other 5 V linear circuitry) will greatly reduce
digital noise on the VCC supply and the attendant problems.
WIRING AND LAYOUT PRECAUTIONS
Digital wire-wrap sockets and connections are not satisfactory for
breadboarding this (or any) A/D converter. Sockets on PC boards
can be used. All logic signal wires and leads should be grouped or
kept as far as possible from the analog signal leads. Single wire
analog input leads may pick up undesired hum and noise, requiring
the use of shielded leads to the analog inputs in many applications.
A single-point analog ground separate from the logic or digital
ground points should be used. The power supply bypass capacitor
and the self-clocking capacitor, if used, should be returned to digital
ground. Any VREF/2 bypass capacitor, analog input filter capacitors,
and any input shielding should be returned to the analog ground
point. Proper grounding will minimize zero-scale errors which are
present in every code. Zero-scale errors can usually be traced to
improper board layout and wiring.

APPLICATIONS
Microprocessor Interfacing
This family of A/D converters was designed for easy microprocessor
interfacing. These converters can be memory mapped with
appropriate memory address decoding for CS (read) input. The
active-Low write pulse from the processor is then connected to the
WR input of the A/D converter, while the processor active-Low read
pulse is fed to the converter RD input to read the converted data. If
the clock signal is derived from the microprocessor system clock,
the designer/programmer should be sure that there is no attempt to
read the converter until 74 converter clock pulses after the start
pulse goes high. Alternatively, the INTR pin may be used to interrupt
the processor to cause reading of the converted data. Of course, the
converter can be connected and addressed as a peripheral (in I/O
space), as shown in Figure 12. A bus driver should be used as a
buffer to the A/D output in large microprocessor systems where the
data leaves the PC board and/or must drive capacitive loads in
excess of 100 pF. See Figure 14.
Interfacing the SCN8048 microcomputer family is pretty simple, as
shown in Figure 13. Since the SCN8048 family has 24 I/O lines, one
of these (shown here as bit 0 or port 1) can be used as the chip
select signal to the converter, eliminating the need for an address
decoder. The RD and WR signals are generated by reading from
and writing to a dummy address.
Digitizing a Transducer Interface Output
Circuit Description
Figure 15 shows an example of digitizing transducer interface output
voltage. In this case, the transducer interface is the NE5521, an
LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) Signal Conditioner.
The diode at the A/D input is used to insure that the input to the A/D
does not go excessively beyond the supply voltage of the A/D. See
the NE5521 data sheet for a complete description of the operation of
that part.
Circuit Adjustment
To adjust the full scale and zero scale of the A/D, determine the range
of voltages that the transducer interface output will take on. Set the
LVDT core for null and set the Zero Scale Scale Adjust Potentiometer
for a digital output from the A/D of 1000 000. Set the LVDT core for
maximum voltage from the interface and set the Full Scale Adjust
potentiometer so the A/D output is just barely 1111 1111.
A Digital Thermostat
Circuit Description
The schematic of a Digital Thermostat is shown in Figure 16. The
A/D digitizes the output of the LM35, a temperature transducer IC
with an output of 10 mV per °C. With VREF/2 set for 2.56 V, this
10 mV corresponds to 1/2 LSB and the circuit resolution is 2 °C.
Reducing VREF/2 to 1.28 yields a resolution of 1 °C. Of course, the
lower VREF/2 is, the more sensitive the A/D will be to noise.
The desired temperature is set by holding either of the set buttons
closed. The SCC80C451 programming could cause the desired
(set) temperature to be displayed while either button is depressed
and for a short time after it is released. At other times the ambient
temperature could be displayed.
The set temperature is stored in an SCN8051 internal register. The
A/D conversion is started by writing anything at all to the A/D with
port pin P10 set high. The desired temperature is compared with the
digitized actual temperature, and the heater is turned on or off by
clearing setting port pin P12. If desired, another port pin could be
used to turn on or off an air conditioner.
The display drivers are NE587s if common anode LED displays are
used. Of course, it is possible to interface to LCD displays as well.
