General Description
The TC530/TC534 are serial analog data acquisition
subsystems ideal for high precisionmeasurements(up
to 17-bits plus sign). The TC530 consists of a dual
slope integrating A/D converter, negative power supply generator and 3 wire serial interface port. The
TC534 is identical to the TC530, but adds a four channel differential input multiplexer. Key A/D converter
operating parameters (Auto Zero and Integration time)
are programmable, allowing the user to trade
conversion time for resolution.
Data conversion is initiated when the RESET input is
brought low. After conversion, data is loaded into the
output shift register and EOC
is asserted, indicating

3.0DETAILED DESCRIPTION
3.1Dual Slope Integrating Converter
The TC530/TC534 dual slope converter operates by
integratingthe input signal for a fixed time period, then
applying an opposite polarity reference voltage while
timing the period (counting clocks pulses) for the i ntegrator output to cross 0V (deintegrating). The resulting
count is read as conversion data.
A simple mathematical expression that describes dual
slope conversion is:

In addition t o the two phases required for dual slope
measurement(Integrateand De-integrate),theTC530/
TC534 performs two additional adjustments to
minimize measurement error due to system offset voltages. The resulting four internal operations (conversion phases) performed each measurement cycle are:
Auto Zero (AZ), Integrator Output Zero (IZ), Input Integrate (INT) and Reference De-integrate (DINT). The
AZ and IZ phases compensate for system offset errors
and the INT and DINT phases perform the actual A/D
conversion.

Inspection of Equation 3-4 shows dual slope converter
accuracyis unrelated to integrating resistor and capacitor values, as long as they are s table throughout the
measurement cycle. This measurement technique is
inherently ratiometric (i.e., the ratio between the T
and T

Another inherent benefit is noise immunity. Input noise
spikes are integrated, or averaged to zero, during the
integration period.The integrating converter has a noise
immunity with an attenuation rate of at least -20dB per
decade.Interferencesignalswithfrequenciesat integral
multiples of the integration period are, for the most part,
completely removed. For this reason, the integration
period of the converter is often established to reject 50/
60Hz line noise. The ability to reject such noise is shown

These two phases have equal duration determined by

times of 33msec, 66msec and 132msec maximize

Improper sequencing of the power supply inputs (V
vs. V
) can potentially cause an improper power-up
CCD
sequence to occur. See Section 4.6, Circuit Design/
Layout Considerations. Failing to insure a proper
power-up sequence can cause spurious operation.
DD
4.6Circuit De sign/Layout
Considerations
1. Separate ground return paths should be used
for the analog and digital circuitry.Use of ground
planes and trace fill on analog circuitsections is
highlyrecommendedEXCEPTforinandaround
the integrator section and C
C
REF,CAZ,RINT
). Stray capacitance between
these nodes and groundappears in parallel with
the components themselves and can affect
measurement accuracy.
2. I mproper sequencing of thepower supply inputs
(V
DD
vs. V
) can potentially cause an
CCD
improper power-up sequence to occur in the
internal state machines. It is r ecommended that
the digital supply, V
, be powered up first.
CCD
One method of insuring the correct power-up
sequence i s to delay the analog supply using a
series resistor and a capacitor. See Figure 4-1,
TC530/TC534 Typical Application.
3. Decoupling capacitors, preferably a higher
value electrolytic or tantulum in parallel with a
small ceramic or tantalum,shouldbe used liberally. This includes bypassing the supply connections of all active components and the voltage
reference.
4. Cr itical components should be chosen for stability and low noise. The use of a metal-film
resistorforR
and Polypropylene or
INT
Polyphenelyne Sulfide (PPS) capacitors for
C
INT,CAZ
and C
is highly recommended.
REF
5. The inputs and integrator section are very high
impedancenodes.Leakage to or from thesecritical nodes can contribute measurement error. A
guard-ringshouldbeusedtoprotectthe integrator section from strayleakage.
6. Ci rcuit assemblies should be exceptionally
clean to prevent the presence of contamination
from assembly, handling or the cleaning itself.
Minute conductive trace contaminates, easily
ignored in most applications, can adversely
affect the performance of high i mpedance circuits. The input and integrator sections should
be made as compact and close tothe TC53X as
possible.
7. Di gital and other dynamic signal conductors
should be kept as far from the TC53X’s analog
sectionas possible.The microcontroller or other
host logic should be kept quiet during a measurement cycle. Background activities such as
keypad scanning, display refreshing and power
switching can introduce noise.

5.7DC/DC Converter
An on-board, TC7660H-type charge pump supplies
negative bias to the converter circuitry, as well as to
external devices. The charge pump develops a negative output voltage by moving charge from the power
supply to the reservoir capacitor at V
commutating capacitor connected to the CAP+ and
CAP- inputs.
The charge pump clock operates at a typical frequency
of 100kHz. If l ower quiescent current is desired, the
charge pump clock can be slowed by connecting an
externalcapacitorfrom the OSC pin to V
