Functional Description
The register stages are composed of transparent RS latches arranged in master/slave pairs. The master and slave
latches are enabled separately by non-overlapping complementary signals w1 and w2 derived internally from the CP
input. Master latches are enabled when CP is LOW and
slave latches are enabled when CP is HIGH. Information is
transferred from master to slave, and thus to the outputs, by
the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CP.
Initializing the register requires a LOW signal on S
while
exercising CP. With S
and CP LOW, all master latches are
SET (Q side HIGH). A LOW-to-HIGH CP transition, with S
remaining LOW, then forces the slave latches to the condition wherein Q7 is LOW and all other register outputs, including CC
, are HIGH. This condition will prevail as long as
S
remains LOW, regardless of subsequent CP rising edge.
To start the conversion process, S
must return to the HIGH
state. On the next CP rising edge, the information stored in
the serial data input latch is transferred to Q
D
and Q7, while
Q6 is forced to the LOW state. On the rising edge of the
next seven clocks, this LOW signal is shifted downstream,
one bit at a time, while the serial data enters the register
position one bit behind this LOW signal, as shown in the
Truth Table. Note that after a serial data bit appears at a
particular output, that register position undergoes no further
changes. After the shifted LOW signal reaches CC
, the register is locked up and no further changes can occur until the
register is initialized for the next conversion process.
Figure a
shows a simplified hook-up of a LS502, a D/A converter and a comparator arranged to convert an analog input voltage into an 8-bit binary number by the successive
approximation technique.
Figure b
is an idealized graph
showing the various values that the D/A converter output
voltage can assume in the course of the conversion. The
vertical axis is calibrated in fractions of the full-scale output
capability of the D/A converter and the horizontal axis represents the successive states of the Truth Table. At time t1,
Q7 is LOW and Q6 – Q0 are HIGH, causing the D/A output
to be one-half of full scale. If the analog input voltage is
greater than this voltage the comparator output (hence the
D input of the LS502) will be LOW, and at times t2 the D/A
output will rise to three-fourths of full scale because Q7 will
remain LOW and contribute 50% while Q6 is forced LOW
and contributes another 25%. On the other hand, if the analog input voltage is less than one-half of full scale, the comparator output will be HIGH and Q7 will go HIGH at t2. Q6
will still be forced LOW at t2, and the D/A output will decrease to 25% of full scale. Thus with each successive
clock, the D/A output will change by smaller increments.
When the conversion is completed at t9, the binary number
represented by the register outputs will be the numerator of
the fraction n/256, representing the analog input voltage as
a fraction of the full scale output D/A converter.
