GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC7116A/TC7117A are 3-1/2 digit CMOS analog-
to-digital converters (ADCs) containing all the active
components necessary to construct a 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
output data display latches are not updated. The reference
low input (V
REF) is not available as it is with the TC7106/
7107. V
REF is tied internally to analog common in the
TC7116A/7117A devices.
The TC7116A/7117A reduces linearity error to less
than 1 count. Roll-over error (the difference in readings for
equal magnitude but opposite polarity input signals) is
below ±1 count. High-impedance differential inputs offer 1
pA leakage current and a 1012 input impedance. The
15µVP-P noise performance guarantees a “rock solid”
reading. The auto-zero cycle guarantees a zero display
reading with a 0V input.
The TC7116A and TC7117A feature a precision, low-
drift internal reference, and are functionally identical to the
TC7116/TC7117. A low-drift external reference is not
normally required with the TC7116A/TC7117A.

Reference Integrate Phase
The final phase is reference integrate, or deintegrate.
Input low is internally connected to analog common and
input high is connected across the previously charged
reference capacitor. Circuitry within the chip ensures that
the capacitor will be connected with the correct polarity to
cause the integrator output to return to zero. The time
required for the output to return to zero is proportional to
the input signal. The digital reading displayed is:

ANALOG SECTION
(All Pin designations refers to 40-Pin DIP)
Figure 3 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 (A-Z), (2) signal integrate (INT), and (3) reference
integrate (REF) or deintegrate (DE).
Auto-Zero Phase
High and low inputs are disconnected from the pins
and internally shorted to analog common. The reference
capacitor is charged to the reference voltage. A feedback
loop is closed around the system to charge the auto-zero
capacitor (CAZ) to compensate for offset voltages in the
buffer amplifier, integrator, and comparator. Since the com-
parator is included in the loop, A-Z accuracy is limited only
by system noise. The offset referred to the input is less
than 10µV.
Signal-Integrate Phase
The auto-zero loop is opened, the internal short is
removed, and the internal high and low inputs are con-
nected to the external pins. The converter then integrates
the differential voltages between V+IN and V
IN for a fixed
time. This differential voltage can be within a wide com-
mon-mode range; 1V of either supply. However, if the input
signal has no return with respect to the converter power
supply, V
IN 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.

VIN
VREF
Reference
The positive reference voltage (V+
REF) is referred to
analog common.
Differential Input
This input can accept differential voltages anywhere
within the common-mode range of the 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 86 dB, typical. However, since the integrator 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 voltage with a near full-scale negative differential
input voltage. The negative-input signal drives the integra-
tor positive when most of its swing has been used up by the
positive common-mode voltage. For these critical applica-

tions, the integrator swing can be reduced to less than the
recommended 2V full-scale swing with little loss of accu-
racy. The integrator output can swing within 0.3V of either
supply without loss of linearity.
Analog Common
This pin is included primarily to set the common-mode
voltage for 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 positive supply.
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 total supply voltage is large
enough to cause the zener to regulate (>7V), the analog
common voltage will have a low voltage coefficient (0.001%/
%), low output impedance (15), and a temperature coef-
ficient of less than 20 ppm/°C, typically, and 50 ppm maxi-
mum. The TC7116/TC7117 temperature coefficients are
typically 80 ppm/°C.
An external reference may be used, if necessary, as
shown in Figure 4.
Analog common is also used as V
IN return during auto-
zero and deintegrate. If V
IN is different from analog 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
IN will be set at a fixed, known voltage
(power supply common for instance). In this application,
analog common should be tied to the same point, thus
removing the 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 removes the common-mode voltage from the 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 tied to a more negative voltage, thus overriding the
internal reference.
Test
The TEST pin serves two functions. On the TC7117/
TC7117A, it is coupled to the internally-generated digital
supply through a 500 resistor. Thus, it can be used as a

such as decimal points or any other presentation the user
may want to include on the LCD. (Figures 5 and 6 show
such an application.) No more than a 1mA load should be
applied.
The second function is a "lamp test." When TEST is
pulled HIGH (to V+), all segments will be turned ON and
the display should read 1888. The TEST pin will sink
about 10 mA under these conditions.
DIGITAL SECTION
Figures 8 and 9 show the digital section for TC7116/
TC7116A and TC7117/TC7117A, respectively. For the
TC7116/TC7116A (Figure 8), 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 fre-
quency 800. For 3 readings per second, this is a 60-Hz
square wave with a nominal amplitude of 5V. The seg-
ments are driven at the same frequency and amplitude,
and are inphase with BP when OFF, but out-of-phase
when ON. In all cases, negligible DC voltage exists across
the segments.
Figure 9 is the digital section of the TC7117/TC7117A.
It is identical to the TC7116/TC7116A, except that the
regulated supply and BP drive have been eliminated, and
the segment drive is typically 8 mA. The 1000's output (pin
19) sinks current from two LED segments, and has a 16-mA
drive capability. The TC7117/TC7117A are designed to
drive common anode LED displays.
In both devices, the polarity indication is ON for analog
inputs. If V
IN and V +
IN are reversed, this indication can be
reversed also, if desired.

System Timing
The clocking method used for the TC7116/TC7116A
and TC7117/TC7117A is shown in Figure 9. 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  before it clocks the
decade counters. It is then further divided to form the three
convert-cycle phases: signal integrate (1000 counts), refer-
ence deintegrate (0 to 2000 counts), and auto-zero (1000 to
3000 counts). For signals less than full scale, auto-zero gets
the unused portion of reference deintegrate. 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 60-Hz pickup, the
signal-integrate cycle should be a multiple of 60Hz. Oscilla-
tor frequencies of 240kHz, 120kHz, 80kHz, 60kHz, 48kHz,
40kHz, etc. should be selected. For 50Hz rejection, oscilla-
tor frequencies of 200kHz, 100kHz, 66-2/3kHz, 50kHz,
40kHz, etc. would be suitable. Note that 40kHz (2.5 readings
per second) will reject both 50Hz and 60Hz.
HOLD 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 is returned to LOW. To continu-
ously update the display, connect to test (TC7116/TC7116A)
or ground (TC7117/TC7117A), or disconnect. This input is
CMOS compatible with 70k typical resistance to TEST
(TC7116/TC7116A) or ground (TC7117/TC7117A).

COMPONENT VALUE SELECTION
Auto-Zero Capacitor
The size of the auto-zero capacitor has some influ-
ence 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
recovery from overload and is adequate for noise on this
scale.
Reference Capacitor
A 0.1µF capacitor is acceptable in most applications.
However, where a large common-mode voltage exists
(i.e., the V
IN pin is not at analog common), and a 200-mV
scale is used, a larger value is required to prevent roll-over
error. Generally, 1 µF will hold the roll-over error to 0.5 count
in this instance.
Integrating Capacitor
The integrating capacitor should be selected to give the
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,
a nominal ±2V full- scale integrator swing is acceptable. For
the TC7117/TC7117A, with ±5V supplies and analog com-
mon tied to supply ground, a ±3.5V to ±4V swing is nominal.
For 3 readings per second (48kHz clock), nominal values
for CINT are 0.22µ1F and 0.10µF, respectively. If different
oscillator frequencies are used, these values should be
changed in inverse proportion to maintain the output swing.
The integrating capacitor must have low dielectric ab-
sorption to prevent roll-over errors. Polypropylene capaci-
tors are recommended for this application.
Integrating Resistor
Both the buffer amplifier and the integrator 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 requirements are not
placed on the PC board. For 2V full scale, 470k is near
optimum and, similarly, 47k for 200mV full scale.
Oscillator Components
For all frequency ranges, a 100k resistor is recom-
mended; the capacitor is selected from the equation:
For a 48 kHz clock (3 readings per second), C = 100pF. Figure 10. Negative Power Supply Generation With TC7660

Reference Voltage
To generate full-scale output (2000 counts), the analog
input requirement is VIN = 2 VREF. Thus, for the 200mV and
2V scale, VREF should equal 100mV and 1V, respectively. In
many applications, where the ADC is connected to a trans-
ducer, a scale factor exists between the input voltage and
the digital reading. For instance, in a measuring system the
designer might like to have a full-scale reading when the
voltage from the transducer is 700mV. Instead of dividing
the input down to 200 mV, the designer should use the input
voltage directly and select VREF = 350mV. Suitable values
for integrating resistor and capacitor would be 120k and
0.22µF. This makes the 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 VIN 0. Temperature and weighing
systems with a variable tare are examples. This offset
reading can be conveniently generated by connecting the
voltage transducer between V+
IN and analog common, and
the variable (or fixed) offset voltage between analog com-
mon and V
IN.
TC7117/TC7117A POWER SUPPLIES
The TC7117/TC7117A are designed to operate from
±5V supplies. However, if a negative supply is not available,
it can be generated with a TC7660 DC-to-DC converter and
two capacitors. Figure 10 shows this application.
In selected applications, a negative supply is not re-
quired. The conditions for using a single +5V supply are:
(1) The input signal can 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.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
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 reducing the
LED common anode voltage, the TC7117/TC7117A pack-
age power dissipation is reduced.
Figure 17 is a curve-tracer display showing the relation-
ship between output current and output voltage for typical
TC7117CPL/TC7117ACPL devices. Since a typical LED
has 1.8V across it at 8mA and its common anode is con-
nected to +5V, the TC7117/TC7117A output is at 3.2V (Point
A, Figure 17). Maximum power dissipation is 8.1mA × 3.2V
× 24 segments = 622mW.
However, notice that once the TC7117/TC7117A's out-
put voltage is above 2V, the LED current is essentially
constant as output voltage increases. Reducing the output
voltage by 0.7V (Point B Figure 17) results in 7.7mA of LED
current, only a 5% reduction. Maximum power dissipation is
now only 7.7mA × 2.5V × 24 = 462mW, a reduction of 26%.
An output voltage reduction of 1V (Point C) reduces LED
current by 10% (7.3mA), but power dissipation by 38%
(7.3mA × 2.2V × 24 = 385mW).
Reduced power dissipation is very easy to obtain.
Figure 18 shows two ways: Either a 5.1, 1/4W resistor, or
a 1A diode placed in series with the display (but not in series
with the TC7117/TC7117A). The resistor reduces the
TC7117/TC7117A's output voltage (when all 24 segments
are ON) to Point C of Figure 17. When segments turn off, the
output voltage will increase. The diode, however, will result
in a relatively steady output voltage, around Point B.
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 that, 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 will reduce
the effect of display dissipation on reference voltage drift by
about 50%.
The change in LED brightness caused by the resistor is
almost unnoticeable as more segments turn off. If display
brightness remaining steady is very important to the de-
signer, a diode may be used instead of the resistor.
