Multiplexer
ADC0816/ADC0817 8-Bit µP Compatible A/D Converters with 16-Channel Multiplexer
General Description
The ADC0816, ADC0817 data acquisition component is a
monolithic CMOS device with an 8-bit analog-to-digital converter, 16-channel multiplexer and microprocessor compatible control logic. The 8-bit A/D converter uses successive
approximation as the conversion technique. The converter
features a high impedance chopper stabilized comparator, a
256R voltage divider with analog switch tree and a successive approximation register. The 16-channel multiplexer can
directly access any one of 16-single-ended analog signals,
and provides the logic for additional channel expansion. Signal conditioning of any analog input signal is eased by direct
access to the multiplexer output, and to the input of the 8-bit
A/D converter.
The device eliminates the need for external zero and
full-scale adjustments. Easy interfacing to microprocessors
is provided by the latched and decoded multiplexer address
inputs and latched TTL TRI-STATE
The design of the ADC0816, ADC0817 has been optimized
by incorporating the most desirable aspects of several A/D
conversion techniques. The ADC0816, ADC0817 offers high
speed, high accuracy, minimal temperaturedependence,excellent long-term accuracy and repeatability, and consumes
minimal power. These features make this device ideally
suited to applications from process and machine control to
consumer and automotive applications. For similar performance in an 8-channel, 28-pin, 8-bit A/D converter, see the
ADC0808, ADC0809 data sheet. (See AN-258 for more information.)

Additional single-ended analog signals can be multiplexed to
theA/D converter by disabling all the multiplexer inputs using
the expansion control. The additional external signals are
connected to the comparator input and the device ground.
Additional signal conditioning (i.e., prescaling, sample and
hold, instrumentation amplification, etc.) may also be added
between the analog input signal and the comparator input.
CONVERTER CHARACTERISTICS
The Converter
The heart of this single chip data acquisition system is its
8-bit analog-to-digital converter.The converter is designed to
give fast, accurate, and repeatable conversions over a wide
range of temperatures. The converter is partitioned into 3
major sections: the 256R ladder network, the successive approximation register, and the comparator. The converter’s
digital outputs are positive true.
The 256R ladder network approach
Figure 1
was chosen
over the conventional R/2R ladder because of its inherent
monotonicity, which guarantees no missing digital codes.
Monotonicity is particularly important in closed loop feedback
control systems. Anon-monotonic relationship can cause oscillations that will be catastrophic for the system. Additionally,
the 256R network does not cause load variations on the reference voltage.
The bottom resistor and the top resistor of the ladder network in
Figure 1
are not the same value as the remainder of
the network. The difference in these resistors causes the
output characteristic to be symmetrical with the zero and
full-scale points of the transfer curve. The first output transition occurs when the analog signal has reached +
1
⁄2LSB
and succeeding output transitions occur every 1 LSB later up
to full-scale.

DS005277-7
Timing Diagram (Continued)
The successive approximation register (SAR) performs 8 iterations to approximate the input voltage. For any SAR type
converter, n-iterations are required for an n-bit converter.
Figure 2
shows a typical example of a 3-bit converter. In the
ADC0816, ADC0817, the approximation technique is extended to 8 bits using the 256R network.
The A/D converter’s successive approximation register
(SAR) is reset on the positive edge of the start conversion
(SC) pulse. The conversion is begun on the falling edge of
the start conversion pulse. A conversion in process will be interrupted by receipt of a new start conversion pulse. Continuous conversion may be accomplished by tying the
end-of-conversion (EOC) output to the SC input. If used in
this mode, an external start conversion pulse should be applied after power up. End-of-conversion will go low between
0 and 8 clock pulses after the rising edge of start conversion.
Connection Diagram
The most important section of the A/D converter is the comparator. It is this section which is responsible for the ulimate
accuracy of the entire converter. It is also the comparator
drift which has the greatest influence on the repeatability of
the device. A chopper-stabilized comparator provides the
most effective method of satisfying all the converter requirements.
The chopper-stabilized comparator converts the DC input
signal into an AC signal. This signal is then fed through a
high gain AC amplifier and has the DC level restored. This
technique limits the drift component of the amplifier since the
drift is a DC component which is not passed by the AC amplifier. This makes the entire A/D converter extremely insensitive to temperature, long term drift and input offset errors.

1.0 RATIOMETRIC CONVERSION
The ADC0816, ADC0817 is designed as a complete Data
Acquisition System (DAS) for ratiometric conversion systems. In ratiometric systems, the physical variable being
measured is expressed as a percentage of full-scale which is
not necessarily related to an absolute standard. The voltage
input to the ADC0816 is expressed by the equation

Applications Information (Continued)
A good example of a ratiometric transducer is a potentiometer used as a position sensor. The position of the wiper is directly proportional to the output voltage which is a ratio of the
full-scale voltage across it. Since the data is represented as
a proportion of full-scale, reference requirements are greatly
reduced, eliminating a large source of error and cost for
many applications. A major advantage of the ADC0816,
ADC0817 is that the input voltage range is equal to the supply range so the transducers can be connected directly
across the supply and their outputs connected directly into
the multiplexer inputs, (
Ratiometric transducers such as potentiometers, strain
gauges, thermistor bridges, pressure transducers, etc., are
suitable for measuring proportional relationships; however,
many types of measurements must be referred to an absolute standard such as voltage or current. This means a system reference must be used which relates the full-scale voltage to the standard volt. For example, if V
5.12V, then the full-scale range is divided into 256 standard
steps. The smallest standard step is 1 LSB which is then 20
mV.

2.0 RESISTOR LADDER LIMITATIONS
The voltages from the resistor ladder are compared to the
selected input 8 times in a conversion. These voltages are
coupled to the comparator via an analog switch tree which is
referenced to the supply.The voltages at the top, center and
bottom of the ladder must be controlled to maintain proper
operation.
The top of the ladder, Ref(+), should not be more positive
than the supply, and the bottom of the ladder,Ref(−), should
not be more negative than ground. The center of the ladder
voltage must also be near the center of the supply because
the analog switch tree changes from N-channel switches to
P-channel switches These limitations are automaticaly satisfied in ratiometric systems and can be easily met in ground
referenced systems.
Figure 10
shows a ground referenced system with a separate supply and reference. In this system, the supply must be
trimmed to match the reference voltage. For instance, if a
5.12V reference is used, the supply should be adjusted to
=
the same voltage within 0.1V.
FIGURE 9. Ratiometric Conversion System
The ADC0816 needs less than a milliamp of supply current
so developing the supply from the reference is readily accomplished. In
Figure 11
a ground references system is
shown which generates the supply from the reference. The
buffer shown can be an op amp of sufficient drive to supply
the millliamp of supply current and the desired bus drive, or
if a capacitive bus is driven by the outputs a large capacitor
will supply the transient supply current as seen in
Figure 12
The LM301 is overcompensated to insure stability when
loaded by the 10 µF output capacitor.

The top and bottom ladder voltages cannot exceed V
ground, respectively, but they can be symmetrically less than

4.0 ANALOG COMPARATOR INPUTS
The dynamic comparator input current is caused by the periodic switching of on-chip stray capacitances These are
connected alternately to the output of the resistor ladder/
switch tree network and to the comparator input as part of
the operation of the chopper stabilized comparator.
The average value of the comparator input current varies directly with clock frequency and with V

as shown in

Figure
If no filter capacitors are used at the analog or comparator inputs and the signal source impedances are low, the comparator input current should not introduce converter errors,
as the transient created by the capacitance discharge will die
out before the comparator output is strobed.
If input filter capacitors are desired for noise reduction and
signal conditioning they will tend to average out the dynamic
comparator input current. It will then take on the characteristics of a DC bias current whose effect can be predicted conventionally. See AN-258 for further discussion.
