The TC7116A/TC7117A are 3-1/2 digit CMOS analogto-digital converters (ADCs) containing all the active
componentsnecessarytoconstructa 0.05% resolution
measurement system. Seven-segment decoders,
polarity and digit drivers, voltage reference, and clock
circuit are integrated on-chip. The TC7116A drives liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and includes a backplane
driver. The TC7117A drives common anode light emitting diode (LED) displays directly with an 8mA drive
current per segment.
These devices incorporate a display hold (HLDR) function. The displayed reading remains indefinitely, as
long as HLDR is held high. Conversions continue, but

(All Pin Designations Refer to 40-Pin PDIP.)
3.1Analog Section
Figure 3-1 shows the block diagram of the analog section for the TC7116/TC7116A and TC7117/TC7117A.
Each measurement cycle is divided into three phases:
(1) Auto-Zero (AZ), (2) Signal Integrate (INT), and
(3) Reference Integrate (REF), or De-integrate (DE).
3.1.1AUTO-ZERO PHASE

3.1.6ANALOG COMMON
This pin is included primarily to set the Common mode
voltagefor battery operation (TC7116/TC7116A),or for
any system where the input signals are floating, with
respect to the power supply. The analog common pin
sets a voltage approximately 2.8V more negative than
the positivesupply. This is selected to give a minimum
end of life battery voltage of about 6V.However, analog
common has some attributes of a reference voltage.
When the totalsupplyvoltage is largeenough to cause
the zener to regulate (>7V), the analog common voltage will have a low voltage coefficient (0.001%), low
output impedance (≅15Ω), and a temperature coefficientoflessthan20ppm/°C,typically,and 50ppmmaximum. The TC7116/TC7117 temperature coefficients
are typically 80ppm/°C.
An external reference may be used, if necessary, as
showninFigure3-2.
3.1.5DIFFERENTIAL INPUT
This i nput can accept differential voltages anywhere
within the Comm on mode range of t he input amplifier
or,specifically,from 1V below the positive supply to 1V
above the negative supply. In this range, the system
has a CMRR of 86dB, typical. However, since the i ntegrator also swings with the Common mode voltage,
care must be exercised to ensure that the integrator
output does not saturate.A worst case condition would
be a large, positive Common mode voltagewith a near
full scale negative differential input voltage. The negative input signal drives the integrator positive, when
most of its swing has been used up by t he positive
Common m ode voltage. For these critical applications,
the integrator swing can be reduced to less than the
recommended 2V full scale swing with little loss of
accuracy. The integrator output can swing within 0.3V
of either supply without loss of linearity.

log common, a Common mode voltage exists in the
system and is taken care of by the excellent CMRR of
the converter. However, in some applications, V
be set at a fixed, known voltage(powersupplycommon
for instance). In this application, analog common
should be t ied to the same point, thus removing t he
Common mode voltage from the converter. The same
holds true for the reference voltage; if it can be conveniently referenced to analog common, it should be.
This r emoves the Common mode voltage from t he
reference system.
Within the IC, analog common is tied to an N-channel
FET, that can sink 30mA or more of current to hold the
voltage 3V below the positive supply (when a load is
trying to pull the analog common line positive). However, there is only 10µA of source current, so analog
common may easily be tiedto a more negative voltage,
thus overriding the internal reference.

3.1.7TEST
The TEST pin serves two functions. On the TC7117/
TC7117A, it is coupled to t he internally generated digitalsupply through a 500Ω resistor.Thus, it canbe used
as a negative supply for externally generated segment
drivers, such as decimal points, or any other presentation the user may want to include on the LCD.
(Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4 show such an application.)
No more than a 1mA load should be applied.
The second function is a " lamp test." W hen TEST is
pulled HIGH (to V+), al l segments wi ll be turned ON
and the di splay should read -1888. The TEST pin will
sink about 10mA under these conditions.

For the TC7116/TC7116A (Figure 3-5), an internal digital ground is generated from a 6V zener diode and a
large P-channel source follower. This supply is made
stiff to absorb the relative large capacitive currents
when the backplane (BP) voltage is switched. The BP
frequency is the clock f requency 4800. For 3 readings
per second,this is a 60Hz square wave with a nominal
amplitude of 5V. The segments are driven at the same
frequency and amplitude, and are in phase with BP
when OFF, but out of phase when ON. In all cases,
negligible DC voltage exists acrossthe segments.
Figure 3-6 is the digital section of t he TC7117/
TC7117A. It is identical to t he TC7116/TC7116A,
except that the regulated supply and BP drive have
been eliminated, and the segment drive is typically
8mA. The 1000's output(Pin19) sinks current from two
LED segments, and has a 16mA drive capability. The
TC7117/TC7117A are designed to drive common
anode LED displays.

3.2.1SYSTEM TIMING
TheclockingmethodusedfortheTC7116/TC7116A
and TC7117/TC7117A is shown in Figure 3-6. Three
clocking methods may be used:
1.An external oscillator connected to Pin 40.
2.A crystal between Pins 39 and 40.
3.An RC network using all three pins.
The oscillator frequency is ÷4 before it c locks the
decade counters. It is then further divided to form the
three convert cycle phases: Signal Integrate (1000
counts), Reference De-integrate (0 to 2000 counts),
and Auto-Zero (1000 to 3000 counts). For signals less
than full scale,auto-zerogetstheunusedportionofreference de-integrate. This makes a complete measure
cycle of 4000 (16,000 clock pulses), independent of
input voltage. For 3 readings per second, an oscillator
frequency of 48kHz would be used.

To achieve maximum rejection of 60Hz pickup, the signal integrate cycle should be a multiple of 60Hz. Oscillator frequencies of 240kHz, 120kHz, 80kHz, 60kHz,
48kHz,40kHz,etc. should be selected. For 50Hz rejection, oscillator frequencies of 200kHz, 100kHz,
66-2/3kHz, 50kHz, 40kHz, etc. would be suitable. Note
that 40kHz (2.5 readings per second) will reject bot h
50Hz and 60Hz.
3.2.2HOLD READING INPUT
When HLDR is at a logic HIGH, the latch will not be
updated. Analog-to-digital conversions will continue,
but will not be updated until HLDR i s returned to LOW.
To continuously update the display, connect to TEST
(TC7116/TC7116A) or GROUND (TC7117/TC7117A),
or di sconnect. This i nput is CMOS compatible with

4.0COMPONENT VALUE
SELECTION
4.1Auto-Zero Capacitor
The size ofthe auto-zero capacitor has someinfluence
on system noise. For 200mV full scale, where noise is
very important, a 0.47µF capacitor is recommended.
On the 2V scale, a 0.047µF capacitor increases the
speed of r ecovery from overload and is adequate for
noise on this scale.
4.2Reference Capacitor
A0.1µF capacitor is acceptable in most applications.
However,where a large Common mode voltage exists
(i.e., the V
200mV scale is used, a l arger value is required to prevent rollover error. Generally, 1µF will hold the rollover
error to 0.5 count in this instance.
4.3Integrating Capacitor
The integratingcapacitor shouldbe selectedtogivethe
maximum voltage swing that ensures tolerance buildup
will not saturate the integrator swing (approximately
0.3V from either supply). In the TC7116/TC7116A or
the TC7117/TC7117A, when the analog common is
used as a reference,anominal±2Vfullscaleintegrator
swing i s acceptable. For the TC7117/TC7117A, with
±5V supplies and analog common tied to supply
ground, a ±3.5V t o ±4V swing is nominal. For 3 readings per second (48kHzclock),nominalvaluesforC
are 0.22µ1F and 0.10µF, respectively. If different oscillator frequencies are used, t hese values should be
changed in inverse proportion to maintain the output
swing. The integrating capacitor must have low dielectric absorptiontopreventrollover errors. Polypropylene
capacitors are r ecommended for this application.
4.4Integrating Resistor
Both the bufferamplifierandtheintegrator have a class
A output stage with 100µA of quiescent current. They
can supply 20µA of drive current with negligible nonlinearity. The integrating resistor should be large
enough to remain in this very linear region over the
input voltage range, but small enough that undue leakage r equirements are not placed on the PC board. For
2V full scale, 470kΩ is near optimum and, si milarly,
47kΩ for 200mV full scale.
4.5Oscillator Components
For all frequency ranges, a 100kΩ resistor is recommended; the capacitor is selected from the equation:

respectively. In many applications, where the ADC is
connected to a transducer, a scale factor exists
between the input voltage and the digital reading. For
instance,inameasuringsystem,the designermight like
tohaveafullscalereadingwhenthevoltagefromthe
transducer is 700mV. Insteadof dividingthe input down
to 200mV, the designer should use the input voltage
directly and select V
= 350mV. Suitable values for
REF
integrating resistor and capacitor would be 120kW and
0.22µF. Thismakesthe system slightly quieter and also
avoids a divider network on the input. The TC7117/
TC7117A, with ±5V supplies, can accept input signals
up to ±4V. Another advantage of this system is when a
digital reading of zero is desired for V
≠ 0. Tempera-

application.
In selected applications, a negative supply is not
required. The conditions for using a single +5V supply
are:
1.The i nput signalcan be referenced to the center
of the Common mode range of the converter.
2.The signal is less than ±1.5V.
3.An external reference is used.

6.0TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The TC7117/TC7117A sink the LED display current,
causing heat to build up in the IC package. If the internal voltage reference is used, the changing chip temperature can cause the display to change reading. By
reducingtheLED common anode voltage, the TC7117/
TC7117A packagepower dissipation is reduced.
Figure 6-1 is a curve tracer display showing the relationship between output current and output voltage f or
typical TC7117CPL/TC7117ACPL devices. Since a
typical LED has 1.8V across it at 8mA and its common
anode i s connected to +5V, the TC7117/TC7117A output is at 3.2V (Point A, Figure 6-1). Maximum power
dissipationis 8.1mA x 3.2V x 24 segments = 622mW.
However,notice that once the TC7117/TC7117A's output voltage is above 2V, the LED current is essentially
constant as output voltage increases. Reducing the
output voltage by 0.7V (Point B Figure 6- 1) results in
7.7mA of LED current, only a 5% reduction. Maximum
power dissipation is now only 7.7mA x 2.5V x 24 =
462mW, a r eduction of 26%. An output voltage reduction of 1V (Point C) reduces LED current by 10%
(7.3mA), but power dissipation by 38% (7.3mA x 2.2V
x 24 = 385mW).

Output Current (mA)

A
In addition to limiting maximum power dissipation, the
resistor reduces change in power dissipation as the
display changes. The effect is caused by the fact t hat,
as fewer segments are ON, each ON output drops
more voltage and current. For the best case of six segments(a“111”display) to worst case (a “1888” display),
the resistor circuit will change about 230mW, while a
circuit without the resistor will change about 470mW.
Therefore, the resistor w ill reduce the effect of display
dissipationon r eference voltage drift by about 50%.
The changein LED brightness caused by the resistor is
almost unnoticeable as more segments turn off. If display brightness remaining steady is very important to
the designer, a diode may be used instead of the
resistor.

Reduced power dissipation is very easy to obtain.
Figure 6-2 shows two ways: either a 5.1Ω,1/4Wresistor,or a 1A diode placed in series with the di splay (but
not in series with the TC7117/TC7117A). The resistor
reduces the TC7117/TC7117A's output voltage (when
all24 segmentsareON) to Point C of Figure 6-1.When
segments turn off, the output voltage will increase. The
diode, however, will result in a relatively steady output
voltage, around Point B.
