2.5 Errors and Reference Voltage Adjustments

2.5.1 Zero Error

The zero of the A/D does not require adjustment. If the

minimum analog input voltage value, V

IN(MIN), is not ground,

a zero offset can be done. The converter can be made to

output 0000 0000 digital code for this minimum input voltage

by biasing the A/D V

IN(−) input at this VIN(MIN) value (see

Applications section). This utilizes the differential mode op-

eration of the A/D.

The zero error of the A/D converter relates to the location of

the first riser of the transfer function and can be measured by

grounding the V

IN (−) input and applying a small magnitude

positive voltage to the V

IN (+) input. Zero error is the differ-

ence between the actual DC input voltage that is necessary

to just cause an output digital code transition from 0000 0000

to 0000 0001 and the ideal 1⁄2 LSB value (1⁄2 LSB = 9.8 mV

for V

REF/2=2.500 VDC).

2.5.2 Full-Scale

The full-scale adjustment can be made by applying a differ-

ential input voltage that is 11⁄2 LSB less than the desired

analog full-scale voltage range and then adjusting the mag-

nitude of the V

REF/2 input (pin 9 or the VCC supply if pin 9 is

not used) for a digital output code that is just changing from

1111 1110 to 1111 1111.

2.5.3 Adjusting for an Arbitrary Analog Input Voltage

Range

If the analog zero voltage of the A/D is shifted away from

ground (for example, to accommodate an analog input signal

that does not go to ground) this new zero reference should

be properly adjusted first. A V

IN(+) voltage that equals this

desired zero reference plus 1⁄2 LSB (where the LSB is cal-

culated for the desired analog span, 1 LSB=analog span/

256) is applied to pin 6 and the zero reference voltage at pin

7 should then be adjusted to just obtain the 00

HEX to 01HEX

code transition.

The full-scale adjustment should then be made (with the

proper V

IN(−) voltage applied) by forcing a voltage to the

IN(+) input which is given by:

where:

MAX=The high end of the analog input range

and

MIN=the low end (the offset zero) of the analog range.

(Both are ground referenced.)

The V

REF/2 (or VCC) voltage is then adjusted to provide a

code change from FE

HEX to FFHEX. This completes the

adjustment procedure.

2.6 Clocking Option

The clock for the A/D can be derived from the CPU clock or

an external RC can be added to provide self-clocking. The

CLK IN (pin 4) makes use of a Schmitt trigger as shown in

Figure 8.
