Description
The Intersil HI7106 is a high performance, low power, 31/
digit A/D converter. Included are seven segment decoders,
display drivers, a reference, and a clock. The HI7106 is
designed to interface with a liquid crystal display (LCD) and
includes a multiplexed backplane drive.
The HI7106 brings together a combination of high accuracy,
versatility, and true economy. It features auto-zero to less
than 10µV, zero drift of less than 1µV/
o
C, input bias current
of 10pA (Max), and rollover error of less than one count.
True differential inputs and reference are useful in all systems, but give the designer an uncommon advantage when
measuring load cells, strain gauges and other bridge type
transducers. Finally, the true economy of single power supply
operation enables a high performance panel meter to be built
with the additionof only 10 passive components and a display.

Detailed Description
Analog Section
Figure 2 shows the Analog Section for the HI7106. Each
measurement cycle is divided into three phases. They are
(1) auto-zero (A-Z), (2) signal integrate (INT) and (3) de-integrate (DE).
Auto-Zero Phase
During auto-zero three things happen. First, input high and
low are disconnected from the pins and internally shorted to
analog COMMON. Second, the reference capacitor is
charged to the reference voltage. Third, a feedback loop is
closed around the system to charge the auto-zero capacitor
C
to compensate for offset voltages in the buffer amplifier,
AZ
integrator,and comparator. Since the comparator is included
in the loop, the A-Z accuracy is limited only by the noise of
DE-INTEGRATE PHASE
0 - 1999 COUNTS
= 16,000 x t
CLOCK
OSC
the system. In any case, the offset referred to the input is
less than 10µV.
Signal Integrate Phase
During signal integrate, the auto-zero loop is opened, the
internal short is removed, and the internal input high and low
are connected to the external pins. The converter then
integrates the differential voltage between IN HI and IN LO
for a fixed time. This differential voltage can be within a wide
common mode range: up to 1V from either supply. If, on the
other hand, the input signal has no return with respect to the
converter power supply, IN LO can be tied to analog
COMMON to establish the correct common mode voltage. At
the end of this phase, the polarity of the integrated signal is
determined.
