Voltage Range(3)
(1) None of these ADCs requires a zero adjust (see Zero Error). To obtain zero code at other analog input voltages see Errors and
Reference Voltage Adjustments.
(2) The VREF/2 pin is the center point of a two-resistor divider connected from VCC to ground. In all versions of the ADC0801, ADC0802,
ADC0803, and ADC0805, and in the ADC0804LCJ, each resistor is typically 16 k. In all versions of the ADC0804 except the
ADC0804LCJ, each resistor is typically 2.2 k.
(3) For VIN()VIN(+) the digital output code will be 0000 0000. Two on-chip diodes are tied to each analog input (see block diagram)
which will forward conduct for analog input voltages one diode drop below ground or one diode drop greater than the VCC supply. Be
careful, during testing at low VCC levels (4.5V), as high level analog inputs (5V) can cause this input diode to conduct–especially at
elevated temperatures, and cause errors for analog inputs near full-scale. The spec allows 50 mV forward bias of either diode. This
means that as long as the analog VIN does not exceed the supply voltage by more than 50 mV, the output code will be correct. To
achieve an absolute 0 VDC to 5 VDC input voltage range will therefore require a minimum supply voltage of 4.950 VDC over temperature
variations, initial tolerance and loading.

limits can be extended so long as the minimum clock high time interval or minimum clock low time interval is no less than 275 ns.
(2) With an asynchronous start pulse, up to 8 clock periods may be required before the internal clock phases are proper to start the
conversion process. The start request is internally latched. Refer to Detailed Description.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The ADC0801 series are versatile 8-Bit µP compatible general purpose ADC converters operate on single 5-V
supply. These devices are treated as a memory location or I/O port to a micro-processor system without
additional interface logic. The outputs are Tri-state latched which facilitate interfacing to micro-processor control
bus. The converter is designed with a differential potentiometric ladder, a circuit equivalent of the 256R network.
It contains analog switches sequenced by successive approximation logic. A functional diagram of the ADC
converter is shown in Functional Block Diagram. All of the package pinouts are shown and the major logic control
paths are drawn in heavier weight lines. The differential analog voltage input has good common mode-rejection
and permits offsetting the analog zero-input voltage value. Moreover, the input reference voltage can be adjusted
to allow encoding small analog voltage span to the full 8-bits resolution. To ensure start-up under all possible
conditions, an external WR pulse is required during the first power-up cycle.
Using a SAR logic the most significant bit is tested first and after 8 comparisons (64 clock cycles) a digital 8-bit
binary code (1111 1111 = full-scale) is transferred to an output latch and then an interrupt is asserted (INTR
makes a high-to-low transition). A conversion in process can be interrupted by issuing a second start command.
The device may be operated in the free-running mode by connecting INTR to the WR input with CS=0.
On the high-to-low transition of the WR input the internal SAR latches and the shift register stages are reset. As
long as the CS input and WR input remain low, the ADC will remain in a reset state. Conversion will start from 1
to 8 clock periods after at least one of these inputs makes a low-to-high transition.
The converter is started by having CS and WR simultaneously low. This sets the start flip-flop (F/F) and the
resulting “1” level resets the 8-bit shift register, resets the Interrupt (INTR) F/F and inputs a “1” to the D flop,
F/F1, which is at the input end of the 8-bit shift register. Internal clock signals then transfer this “1” to the Q
output of F/F1. The AND gate, G1, combines this “1” output with a clock signal to provide a reset signal to the
start F/F. If the set signal is no longer present (either WR or CS is a “1”) the start F/F is reset and the 8-bit shift
register then can have the “1” clocked in, which starts the conversion process. If the set signal were to still be
present, this reset pulse would have no effect (both outputs of the start F/F would momentarily be at a “1” level)
and the 8-bit shift register would continue to be held in the reset mode. This logic therefore allows for wide CS
and WR signals and the converter will start after at least one of these signals returns high and the internal clocks
again provide a reset signal for the start F/F.
After the “1” is clocked through the 8-bit shift register (which completes the SAR search) it appears as the input
to the D-type latch, LATCH 1. As soon as this “1” is output from the shift register, the AND gate, G2, causes the
new digital word to transfer to the Tri-state output latches. When LATCH 1 is subsequently enabled, the Q output
makes a high-to-low transition which causes the INTR F/F to set. An inverting buffer then supplies the INTR input
signal.
Note this SET control of the INTR F/F remains low for 8 of the external clock periods (as the internal clocks run
at 1/8 of the frequency of the external clock). If the data output is continuously enabled (CS and RD both held
low), the INTR output will still signal the end of conversion (by a high-to-low transition), because the SET input
can control the Q output of the INTR F/F even though the RESET input is constantly at a M "1M " level in this
operating mode. This INTR output will therefore stay low for the duration of the SET signal, which is 8 periods of
the external clock frequency (assuming the ADC is not started during this interval).
When operating in the free-running or continuous conversion mode (INTR pin tied to WR and CS wired low see
Continuous Conversions), the START F/F is SET by the high-to-low transition of the INTR signal. This resets the
SHIFT REGISTER which causes the input to the D-type latch, LATCH 1, to go low. As the latch enable input is
still present, the Q output will go high, which then allows the INTR F/F to be RESET. This reduces the width of
the resulting INTR output pulse to only a few propagation delays (approximately 300 ns).
When data is to be read, the combination of both CS and RD being low will cause the INTR F/F to be reset and
the Tri-state output latches will be enabled to provide the 8-bit digital outputs.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Understanding ADC Error Specs
A perfect ADC transfer characteristic (staircase waveform) is shown in Figure 16 and Figure 17. The horizontal
scale is analog input voltage and the particular points labeled are in steps of 1 LSB (19.53 mV with 2.5V tied to
the VREF/2 pin). The digital output codes that correspond to these inputs are shown as D1, D, and D+1. For
the perfect ADC, not only will center- value (A1, A, A+1, . . . . ) analog inputs produce the cor- rect output digital
codes, but also each riser (the transitions between adjacent output codes) will be located ±12 LSB away from
each center-value. As shown, the risers are ideal and have no width. Correct digital output codes will be provided
for a range of analog input voltages that extend ±12 LSB from the ideal center-values. Each tread (the range of
analog input voltage that provides the same digital output code) is therefore 1 LSB wide.
Figure 19 shows a worst case error plot for the ADC0801. All center-valued inputs are guaranteed to produce the
correct output codes and the adjacent risers are specified to be no closer to the center-value points than ±1/4
LSB. In other words, if we apply an analog input equal to the center-value ±1/4 LSB, we guarantee that the ADC
will produce the correct digital code. The maximum range of the position of the code transition is indicated by the
horizontal arrow and it is specified to be no more than 1/2 LSB.
The error curve of Figure 21 shows a worst case error plot for the ADC0802. Here we guarantee that if we apply
an analog input equal to the LSB analog voltage center-value the ADC will produce the correct digital code.

Feature Description (continued)
Next to each transfer function is shown the corresponding error plot. Many people may be more familiar with
error plots than transfer functions. The analog input voltage to the ADC is provided by either a linear ramp or by
the discrete output steps of a high resolution DAC. Notice that the error is continuously displayed and includes
the quantization uncertainty of the ADC. For example the error at point 1 of Figure 21 is +12 LSB because the

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.2 Digital Control Inputs
The digital control inputs (CS, RD, and WR) meet standard TLL logic voltage levels. These signals have been
renamed when compared to the standard ADC Start and Output Enable labels. In addition, these inputs are
active low to allow an easy interface to microprocessor control busses. For non-microprocessor based
applications, the CS input (pin 1) can be grounded and the standard ADC Start function is obtained by an active
low pulse applied at the WR input (pin 3) and the Output Enable function is caused by an active low pull at the
RD input (pin 2).
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Analog Input Modes
8.4.1.1 Normal Mode
Due to the internal switching action, displacement currents will flow at the analog inputs. This is due to on-chip
stray capacitance to ground as shown in Figure 22.
rON of SW 1 and SW 2.5 k
r=rON CSTRAY × 5 kx 12 pF = 60 ns
Figure 22. Analog Input Impedance
The voltage on this capacitance is switched and will result in currents entering the VIN(+) input pin and leaving
the VIN() input which will depend on the analog differential input voltage levels. These current transients occur
at the leading edge of the internal clocks. They rapidly decay and do not cause errors as the on-chip comparator
is strobed at the end of the clock period.
8.4.1.2 Fault Mode
If the voltage source applied to the VIN(+) or VIN() pin exceeds the allowed operating range of VCC+50 mV, large
input currents can flow through a parasitic diode to the VCC pin. If these currents can exceed the 1 mA max
allowed spec, an external diode (1N914) should be added to bypass this current to the VCC pin (with the current
bypassed with this diode, the voltage at the VIN(+) pin can exceed the VCC voltage by the forward voltage of this
diode).

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The following sections give example circuits and suggestions for using the ADC080X in typical application
situation with a typical 8-bit micro-processor.
9.1.1 Testing the ADC Converter
There are many degrees of complexity associated with testing an ADC converter. One of the simplest tests is to
apply a known analog input voltage to the converter and use LEDs to display the resulting digital output code as
shown in Figure 23.
For ease of testing, the VREF/2 (pin 9) should be supplied with 2.560 VDC and a VCC supply voltage of 5.12 VDC
should be used. This provides an LSB value of 20 mV.
If a full-scale adjustment is to be made, an analog input voltage of 5.090 VDC (5.120–1/2 LSB) should be applied
to the VIN(+) pin with the VIN() pin grounded. The value of the VREF/2 input voltage should then be adjusted until
the digital output code is just changing from 1111 1110 to 1111 1111. This value of VREF/2 should then be used
for all the tests.
The digital output LED display can be decoded by dividing the 8 bits into 2 hex characters, the 4 most significant
(MS) and the 4 least significant (LS). Table 1 shows the fractional binary equivalent of these two 4-bit groups. By
adding the voltages obtained from the "VM" and "VLS" columns in Table 1, the nominal value of the digital
display (when VREF/2 = 2.560V) can be determined. For example, for an output LED display of 1011 0110 or B6
(in hex), the voltage values from the table are 3.520 + 0.120 or 3.640 VDC. These voltage values represent the
center-values of a perfect ADC converter. The effects of quantization error have to be accounted for in the
interpretation of the test results.

Application Information (continued)
Figure 23. Basic ADC Tester
For a higher speed test system, or to obtain plotted data, a digital-to-analog converter is needed for the test set-
up. An accurate 10-bit DAC can serve as the precision voltage source for the ADC. Errors of the ADC under test
can be expressed as either analog voltages or differences in 2 digital words.
A basic ADC tester that uses a DAC and provides the error as an analog output voltage is shown in Figure 35.
The 2 op amps can be eliminated if a lab DVM with a numerical subtraction feature is available to read the
difference voltage, "A–C", directly. The analog input voltage can be supplied by a low frequency ramp generator
and an X-Y plotter can be used to provide analog error (Y axis) versus analog input (X axis).
For operation with a microprocessor or a computer-based test system, it is more convenient to present the errors
digitally. This can be done with the circuit of Figure 25, where the output code transitions can be detected as the
10-bit DAC is incremented. This provides 14 LSB steps for the 8-bit ADC under test. If the results of this test are
automatically plotted with the analog input on the X axis and the error (in LSB’s) as the Y axis, a useful transfer
function of the ADC under test results. For acceptance testing, the plot is not necessary and the testing speed
can be increased by establishing internal limits on the allowed error for each code.
9.1.2 Microprocessor Interfacing
To discuss the interface with 8080A and 6800 microprocessors, a common sample subroutine structure is used.
The microprocessor starts the ADC, reads and stores the results of 16 successive conversions, then returns to
the user’s program. The 16 data bytes are stored in 16 successive memory locations. All Data and Addresses
will be given in hexadecimal form. Software and hardware details are provided separately for each type of
microprocessor.

Application Information (continued)
9.1.2.1 Interfacing 8080 Microprocessor Derivatives (8048, 8085)
This converter has been designed to directly interface with derivatives of the 8080 microprocessor. The ADC can
be mapped into memory space (using standard memory address decoding for CS and the MEMR and MEMW
strobes) or it can be controlled as an I/O device by using the I/O R and I/O W strobes and decoding the address
bits A0 A7 (or address bits A8 A15 as they will contain the same 8-bit address information) to obtain the
CS input. Using the I/O space provides 256 additional addresses and may allow a simpler 8-bit address decoder
but the data can only be input to the accumulator. To make use of the additional memory reference instructions,
the ADC should be mapped into memory space. An example of an ADC in I/O space is shown in Figure 26.

Note: The stack pointer must be dimensioned because a RST 7 instruction pushes the PC onto the stack.
Note: All address used were arbitrarily chosen.
Figure 27. Sample Program for Figure 26 ADC0801–INS8080A CPU Interface
The standard control bus signals of the 8080 CS, RD and WR) can be directly wired to the digital control inputs
of the ADC and the bus timing requirements are met to allow both starting the converter and outputting the data
onto the data bus. A bus driver should be used for larger microprocessor systems where the data bus leaves the
PCB and/or must drive capacitive loads larger than 100 pF.
9.1.2.2 Sample 8080A CPU Interfacing Circuitry and Program
The following sample program and associated hardware shown in Figure 26 may be used to input data from the
converter to the INS8080A CPU chip set (comprised of the INS8080A microprocessor, the INS8228 system
controller and the INS8224 clock generator). For simplicity, the ADC is controlled as an I/O device, specifically an
8-bit bi-directional port located at an arbitrarily chosen port address, E0. The Tri-state output capability of the
ADC eliminates the need for a peripheral interface device, however address decoding is still required to generate
the appropriate CS for the converter.
It is important to note in systems where the ADC converter is 1-of-8 or less I/O mapped devices, no address
decoding circuitry is necessary. Each of the 8 address bits (A0 to A7) can be directly used as CS inputs one
for each I/O device.
9.1.2.3 INS8048 Interface
The INS8048 interface technique with the ADC0801 series (see Figure 28) is simpler than the 8080A CPU
interface. There are 24 I/O lines and three test input lines in the 8048. With these extra I/O lines available, one of
the I/O lines (bit 0 of port 1) is used as the chip select signal to the ADC, thus eliminating the use of an external
address decoder. Bus control signals RD, WR and INT of the 8048 are tied directly to the ADC. The 16
converted data words are stored at on-chip RAM locations from 20 to 2F (Hex). The RD and WR signals are
generated by reading from and writing into a dummy address, respectively. A sample interface program is shown
below.

9.1.2.4 Interfacing the Z-80
The Z-80 control bus is slightly different from that of the 8080. General RD and WR strobes are provided and
separate memory request, MREQ, and I/O request, IORQ, signals are used which have to be combined with the
generalized strobes to provide the equivalent 8080 signals. An advantage of operating the ADC in I/O space with
the Z-80 is that the CPU will automatically insert one wait state (the RD and WR strobes are extended one clock
period) to allow more time for the I/O devices to respond. Logic to map the ADC in I/O space is shown in
Figure 30.

Figure 30. Mapping the ADC as an I/O Device for Use With the Z-80 CPU
Additional I/O advantages exist as software DMA routines are available and use can be made of the output data
transfer which exists on the upper 8 address lines (A8 to A15) during I/O input instructions. For example, MUX
channel selection for the ADC can be accomplished with this operating mode.
9.1.2.5 Interfacing 6800 Microprocessor Derivatives (6502, etc.)
The control bus for the 6800 microprocessor derivatives does not use the RD and WR strobe signals. Instead it
employs a single R/W line and additional timing, if needed, can be derived from the φ2 clock. All I/O devices are
memory mapped in the 6800 system, and a special signal, VMA, indicates that the current address is valid.
Figure 36 shows an interface schematic where the ADC is memory mapped in the 6800 system. For simplicity,
the CS decoding is shown using 1/2 DM8092. Note in many 6800 systems, an already decoded 4/5 line is
brought out to the common bus at pin 21. This can be tied directly to the CS pin of the ADC, provided that no
other devices are addressed at HX ADDR: 4XXX or 5XXX.
The following subroutine performs essentially the same function as in the case of the 8080A interface and it can
be called from anywhere in the user’s program.
In Figure 38 the ADC0801 series is interfaced to the M6800 microprocessor through (the arbitrarily chosen) Port
B of the MC6820 or MC6821 Peripheral Interface Adapter, (PIA).
Here the CS pin of the ADC is grounded because the PIA is already memory mapped in the M6800 system and
no CS decoding is necessary. Also notice that the ADC output data lines are connected to the microprocessor
bus under program control through the PIA and therefore the ADC RD pin can be grounded.
A sample interface program equivalent to the previous one is shown below Figure 38. The PIA Data and Control
Registers of Port B are located at HEX addresses 8006 and 8007, respectively.

9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.1.2.1 Analog Differential Voltage Inputs and Common-Mode Rejection
This ADC has additional applications flexibility due to the analog differential voltage input. The VIN() input (pin 7)
can be used to automatically subtract a fixed voltage value from the input reading (tare correction). This is also
useful in 4 mA–20 mA current loop conversion. In addition, common-mode noise can be reduced by use of the
differential input.
The time interval between sampling VIN(+) and VIN() is 4-1/2 clock periods. The maximum error voltage due to
this slight time difference between the input voltage samples is given by:
where
Veis the error voltage due to sampling delay
VPis the peak value of the common-mode voltage
fcm is the common-mode frequency (1)
As an example, to keep this error to 1/4 LSB (5 mV) when operating with a 60 Hz common-mode frequency,
fcm, and using a 640 kHz ADC clock, fCLK, would allow a peak value of the common-mode voltage, VP, which is
given by:
(2)
or
(3)
which gives VP–1.9 V.
The allowed range of analog input voltages usually places more severe restrictions on input common-mode noise
levels.
An analog input voltage with a reduced span and a relatively large zero offset can be handled easily by making
use of the differential input (see Reference Voltage).
9.2.1.2.2 Analog Inputs Input Current
9.2.1.2.2.1 Input Bypass Capacitors
Bypass capacitors at the inputs will average these charges and cause a DC current to flow through the output
resistances of the analog signal sources. This charge pumping action is worse for continuous conversions with
the VIN(+) input voltage at full-scale. For continuous conversions with a 640 kHz clock frequency with the VIN(+)
input at 5V, this DC current is at a maximum of approximately 5 µA. Therefore, bypass capacitors should not be
used at the analog inputs or the VREF/2 pin for high resistance sources (> 1 k). If input bypass capacitors are
necessary for noise filtering and high source resistance is desirable to minimize capacitor size, the detrimental
effects of the voltage drop across this input resistance, which is due to the average value of the input current,
can be eliminated with a full-scale adjustment while the given source resistor and input bypass capacitor are both
in place. This is possible because the average value of the input current is a precise linear function of the
differential input voltage.

9.2.1.2.2.2 Input Source Resistance
Large values of source resistance where an input bypass capacitor is not used, will not cause errors as the input
currents settle out prior to the comparison time. If a low pass filter is required in the system, use a low valued
series resistor (1 kΩ) for a passive RC section or add an op amp RC active low pass filter. For low source
resistance applications, (1 kΩ), a 0.1 μF bypass capacitor at the inputs will prevent noise pickup due to series
lead inductance of a long wire. A 100Ωseries resistor can be used to isolate this capacitor both the R and C
are placed outside the feedback loop from the output of an op amp, if used.
9.2.1.2.2.3 Noise
The leads to the analog inputs (pins 6 and 7) should be kept as short as possible to minimize input noise
coupling. Both noise and undesired digital clock coupling to these inputs can cause system errors. The source
resistance for these inputs should, in general, be kept below 5 k. Larger values of source resistance can cause
undesired system noise pickup. Input bypass capacitors, placed from the analog inputs to ground, will eliminate
system noise pickup but can create analog scale errors as these capacitors will average the transient input
switching currents of the ADC (see Analog Inputs Input Current). This scale error depends on both a large
source resistance and the use of an input bypass capacitor. This error can be eliminated by doing a full-scale
adjustment of the ADC (adjust VREF/2 for a proper full-scale reading see Full-Scale) with the source resistance
and input bypass capacitor in place.
Noise spikes on the VCC supply line can cause conversion errors as the comparator will respond to this noise. A
low inductance tantalum filter capacitor should be used close to the converter VCC pin and values of 1 µF or
greater are recommended. If an unregulated voltage is available in the system, a separate LM340LAZ-5.0, TO-
92, 5-V voltage regulator for the converter (and other analog circuitry) will greatly reduce digital noise on the VCC
supply.
9.2.1.2.3 Reference Voltage
9.2.1.2.3.1 Span Adjust
For maximum applications flexibility, these ADCs have been designed to accommodate a 5 VDC, 2.5 VDC or an
adjusted voltage reference. This has been achieved in the design of the IC as shown in Figure 32.

Notice that the reference voltage for the IC is either 1/2 of the voltage applied to the VCC supply pin, or is equal to
the voltage that is externally forced at the VREF/2 pin. This allows for a ratiometric voltage reference using the
VCC supply, a 5 VDC reference voltage can be used for the VCC supply or a voltage less than 2.5 VDC can be
applied to the VREF/2 input for increased application flexibility. The internal gain to the VREF/2 input is 2, making
the full-scale differential input voltage twice the voltage at pin 9.
An example of the use of an adjusted reference voltage is to accommodate a reduced span or dynamic
voltage range of the analog input voltage. If the analog input voltage were to range from 0.5 VDC to 3.5 VDC,
instead of 0V to 5 VDC, the span would be 3 V as shown in Figure 33. With 0.5 VDC applied to the VIN() pin to
absorb the offset, the reference voltage can be made equal to 1/2 of the 3V span or 1.5 VDC. The ADC now will
encode the VIN(+) signal from 0.5V to 3.5 V with the 0.5V input corresponding to zero and the 3.5 VDC input
corresponding to full-scale. The full 8 bits of resolution are therefore applied over this reduced analog input
voltage range.
9.2.1.2.3.2 Reference Accuracy Requirements
The converter can be operated in a ratiometric mode or an absolute mode. In ratiometric converter applications,
the magnitude of the reference voltage is a factor in both the output of the source transducer and the output of
the ADC converter and therefore cancels out in the final digital output code. The ADC0805 is specified
particularly for use in ratiometric applications with no adjustments required. In absolute conversion applications,
both the initial value and the temperature stability of the reference voltage are important factors in the accuracy
of the ADC converter. For VREF/2 voltages of 2.4 VDC nominal value, initial errors of ±10 mVDC will cause
conversion errors of ±1 LSB due to the gain of 2 of the VREF/2 input. In reduced span applications, the initial
value and the stability of the VREF/2 input voltage become even more important. For example, if the span is
reduced to 2.5 V, the analog input LSB voltage value is correspondingly reduced from 20 mV (5V span) to 10 mV
and 1 LSB at the VREF/2 input becomes 5 mV. As can be seen, this reduces the allowed initial tolerance of the
reference voltage and requires correspondingly less absolute change with temperature variations. Note that
spans smaller than 2.5 V place even tighter requirements on the initial accuracy and stability of the reference
source.
In general, the magnitude of the reference voltage will require an initial adjustment. Errors due to an improper
value of reference voltage appear as full-scale errors in the ADC transfer function. IC voltage regulators may be
used for references if the ambient temperature changes are not excessive. The LM336B 2.5-V IC reference
diode (from National Semiconductor) has a temperature stability of 1.8 mV typical (6 mV maximum) over
0°CTA+70°C. Other temperature range parts are also available.

9.2.1.2.4 Errors and Reference Voltage Adjustments
9.2.1.2.4.1 Zero Error
The zero of the ADC does not require adjustment. If the minimum analog input voltage value, VIN(MIN), is not
ground, a zero offset can be done. The converter can be made to output 0000 0000 digital code for this minimum
input voltage by biasing the ADC VIN() input at this VIN(MIN) value (see Application Information). This uses the
differential mode operation of the ADC.
The zero error of the ADC converter relates to the location of the first riser of the transfer function and can be
measured by grounding the VIN() input and applying a small magnitude positive voltage to the VIN(+) input. Zero
error is the difference between the actual DC input voltage that is necessary to just cause an output digital code
transition from 0000 0000 to 0000 0001 and the ideal 1/2 LSB value (1/2 LSB = 9.8 mV for VREF/2=2.500 VDC).
9.2.1.2.4.2 Full-Scale
The full-scale adjustment can be made by applying a differential input voltage that is 11/2 LSB less than the
desired analog full-scale voltage range and then adjusting the magnitude of the VREF/2 input (pin 9 or the VCC
supply if pin 9 is not used) for a digital output code that is just changing from 1111 1110 to 1111 1111.

9.2.1.2.4.3 Adjusting for an Arbitrary Analog Input Voltage Range
If the analog zero voltage of the ADC is shifted away from ground (for example, to accommodate an analog input
signal that does not go to ground) this new zero reference should be properly adjusted first. A VIN(+) voltage that
equals this desired zero reference plus 1/2 LSB (where the LSB is calculated for the desired analog span, 1
LSB=analog span/256) is applied to pin 6 and the zero reference voltage at pin 7 should then be adjusted to just
obtain the 00HEX to 01HEX code transition.
The full-scale adjustment should then be made (with the proper VIN() voltage applied) by forcing a voltage to the
VIN(+) input which is given by:
where
VMAX = The high end of the analog input range
VMIN = the low end (the offset zero) of the analog range. (Both are ground referenced.) (4)
The VREF/2 (or VCC) voltage is then adjusted to provide a code change from FEHEX to FFHEX. This completes the
adjustment procedure
9.2.1.2.5 Clocking Option
The clock for the ADC can be derived from the CPU clock or an external RC can be added to provide self-
clocking. The CLK IN (pin 4) makes use of a Schmitt trigger as shown in Figure 35.
Figure 35. Self-Clocking the ADC
Heavy capacitive or DC loading of the clock R pin should be avoided as this will disturb normal converter
operation. Loads less than 50 pF, such as driving up to 7 ADC converter clock inputs from a single clock R pin of
1 converter, are allowed. For larger clock line loading, a CMOS or low power TTL buffer or PNP input logic
should be used to minimize the loading on the clock R pin (do not use a standard TTL buffer).

9.2.1.2.6 Restart During a Conversion
If the ADC is restarted (CS and WR go low and return high) during a conversion, the converter is reset and a
new conversion is started. The output data latch is not updated if the conversion in process is not allowed to be
completed, therefore the data of the previous conversion remains in this latch. The INTR output simply remains
at the “1” level.
9.2.1.2.7 Continuous Conversions
For operation in the free-running mode an initializing pulse should be used, following power up, to ensure circuit
operation. In this application, the CS input is grounded and the WR input is tied to the INTR output. This WR and
INTR node should be momentarily forced to logic low following a power-up cycle to ensure operation.
9.2.1.2.8 Driving the Data Bus
This MOS ADC, like MOS microprocessors and memories, will require a bus driver when the total capacitance of
the data bus gets large. Other circuitry, which is tied to the data bus, will add to the total capacitive loading, even
in Tri-state (high impedance mode). Backplane bussing also greatly adds to the stray capacitance of the data
bus.
There are some alternatives available to the designer to handle this problem. Basically, the capacitive loading of
the data bus slows down the response time, even though DC specifications are still met. For systems operating
with a relatively slow CPU clock frequency, more time is available in which to establish proper logic levels on the
bus and therefore higher capacitive loads can be driven (see typical characteristics curves).
At higher CPU clock frequencies time can be extended for I/O reads (and/or writes) by inserting wait states
(8080) or using clock extending circuits (6800).
Finally, if time is short and capacitive loading is high, external bus drivers must be used. These can be Tri-state
buffers (low power Schottky such as the DM74LS240 series is recommended) or special higher drive current
products which are designed as bus drivers. High current bipolar bus drivers with PNP inputs are recommended.
9.2.1.2.9 Wiring and Hook-Up Precautions
Standard digital wire wrap sockets are not satisfactory for breadboarding this ADC converter. Sockets on PCBs
can be used and all logic signal wires and leads should be grouped and kept as far away as possible from the
analog signal leads. Exposed leads to the analog inputs can cause undesired digital noise and hum pickup,
therefore shielded leads may be necessary in many applications.
A single point analog ground that is separate from the logic ground points should be used. The power supply
bypass capacitor and the self-clocking capacitor (if used) should both be returned to digital ground. Any VREF/2
bypass capacitors, analog input filter capacitors, or input signal shielding should be returned to the analog
ground point. A test for proper grounding is to measure the zero error of the ADC converter. Zero errors in
excess of 1/4 LSB can usually be traced to improper board layout and wiring (see Zero Error for measuring the
zero error).
9.2.2 Multiple ADC0801 Series to MC6800 CPU Interface
To transfer analog data from several channels to a single microprocessor system, a multiple converter scheme
presents several advantages over the conventional multiplexer single-converter approach. With the ADC0801
series, the differential inputs allow individual span adjustment for each channel. Furthermore, all analog input
channels are sensed simultaneously, which essentially divides the total system servicing time of the
microprocessor by the number of channels, because all conversions occur simultaneously. This scheme is
shown in Figure 40.

can easily be extended to allow the interface of more converters. In this configuration the converters are
(arbitrarily) located at HEX address 5000 in the MC6800 memory space. To save components, the clock signal is
derived from just one RC pair on the first converter. This output drives the other ADCs.

All the converters are started simultaneously with a STORE instruction at HEX address 5000. Note any other
HEX address of the form 5XXX will be decoded by the circuit, pulling all the CS inputs low. This can easily be
avoided by using a more definitive address decoding scheme. All the interrupts are ORed together to insure that
all ADCs have completed their conversion before the microprocessor is interrupted.
The subroutine, DATA IN, may be called from anywhere in the user’s program. Once called, this routine
initializes the CPU, starts all the converters simultaneously and waits for the interrupt signal. Upon receiving the
interrupt, it reads the converters (from HEX addresses 5000 through 5007) and stores the data successively at
(arbitrarily chosen) HEX addresses 0200 to 0207, before returning to the user’s pro- gram. All CPU registers then
recover the original data they had before servicing DATA IN.
9.2.3 Auto-Zeroed Differential Transducer Amplifier and ADC Converter
The differential inputs of the ADC0801 series eliminate the need to perform a differential to single ended
conversion for a differential transducer. Thus, one op amp can be eliminated because the differential to single
ended conversion is provided by the differential input of the ADC0801 series. In general, a transducer preamp is
required to take advantage of the full ADC converter input dynamic range.

For amplification of DC input signals, a major system error is the input offset voltage of the amplifiers used for
the preamp. Figure 43 is a gain of 100 differential preamp whose offset voltage errors will be cancelled by a
zeroing subroutine which is performed by the INS8080A microprocessor system. The total allowable input offset
voltage error for this preamp is only 50 µV for /4 LSB error. This would obviously require very precise amplifiers.
The expression for the differential output voltage of the preamp is:

The 9 resistors used in the auto-zero section can be ±5% tolerance.

where
IXis the current through resistor RX(5)
All of the offset error terms can be cancelled by making ±IXRX= VOS1 + VOS3 VOS2. This is the principle of this
auto-zeroing scheme.
The INS8080A uses the 3 I/O ports of an INS8255 Programable Peripheral Interface (PPI) to control the auto
zeroing and input data from the ADC0801 as shown in Figure 44. The PPI is programmed for basic I/O operation
(mode 0) with Port A being an input port and Ports B and C being output ports. Two bits of Port C are used to
alternately open or close the 2 switches at the input of the preamp. Switch SW1 is closed to force the preamp’s
differential input to be zero during the zeroing subroutine and then opened and SW2 is then closed for
conversion of the actual differential input signal. Using 2 switches in this manner eliminates concern for the ON
resistance of the switches as they must conduct only the input bias current of the input amplifiers.

Output Port B is used as a successive approximation register by the 8080 and the binary scaled resistors in
series with each output bit create a D/A converter. During the zeroing subroutine, the voltage at Vxincreases or
decreases as required to make the differential output voltage equal to zero. This is accomplished by ensuring
that the voltage at the output of A1 is approximately 2.5V so that a logic "1" (5V) on any output of Port B will
source current into node VXthus raising the voltage at VXand making the output differential more negative.
Conversely, a logic "0" (0V) will pull current out of node VXand decrease the voltage, causing the differential
output to become more positive. For the resistor values shown, VXcan move ±12 mV with a resolution of 50 µV,
which will null the offset error term to /4 LSB of full-scale for the ADC0801. It is important that the voltage levels
that drive the auto-zero resistors be constant. Also, for symmetry, a logic swing of 0V to 5V is convenient. To
achieve this, a CMOS buffer is used for the logic output signals of Port B and this CMOS package is powered
with a stable 5V source. Buffer amplifier A1 is necessary so that it can source or sink the D/A output current.
Figure 44. Microprocessor Interface Circuitry for Differential Preamp
A flow chart for the zeroing subroutine is shown in Figure 45. It must be noted that the ADC0801 series will
output an all zero code when it converts a negative input [VIN()VIN(+)]. Also, a logic inversion exists as all of
the I/O ports are buffered with inverting gates.
Basically, if the data read is zero, the differential output voltage is negative, so a bit in Port B is cleared to pull VX
more negative which will make the output more positive for the next conversion. If the data read is not zero, the
output voltage is positive so a bit in Port B is set to make VX more positive and the output more negative. This
continues for 8 approximations and the differential output eventually converges to within 5 mV of zero.
The actual program is given in Figure 46. All addresses used are compatible with the BLC 80/10 microcomputer
system. In particular:

9.2.4 Multiple ADC Converters in a Z-80 Interrupt Driven Mode
In data acquisition systems where more than one ADC converter (or other peripheral device) will be interrupting
pro- gram execution of a microprocessor, there is obviously a need for the CPU to determine which device
requires servicing. Figure 47 and the accompanying software is a method of determining which of 7 ADC0801
converters has completed a conversion (INTR asserted) and is requesting an interrupt. This circuit allows starting
the ADC converters in any sequence, but will input and store valid data from the converters with a priority
sequence of ADC 1 being read first, ADC 2 second, etc., through ADC 7 which would have the lowest priority for
data being read. Only the converters whose INT is asserted will be read.
The key to decoding circuitry is the DM74LS373, 8-bit D type flip-flop. When the Z-80 acknowledges the
interrupt, the program is vectored to a data input Z-80 subroutine. This subroutine will read a peripheral status
word from the DM74LS373 which contains the logic state of the INTR outputs of all the converters. Each
converter which initiates an interrupt will place a logic "0" in a unique bit position in the status word and the
subroutine will determine the identity of the converter and execute a data read. An identifier word (which
indicates which ADC the data came from) is stored in the next sequential memory location above the location of
the data so the program can keep track of the identity of the data entered.

NOTE: All numerical values are hexadecimal representations.

The following notes apply:
It is assumed that the CPU automatically performs a RST 7 instruction when a valid interrupt is acknowledged
(CPU is in interrupt mode 1). Hence, the subroutine starting address of X0038.
The address bus from the Z-80 and the data bus to the Z-80 are assumed to be inverted by bus drivers.
ADC data and identifying words will be stored in sequential memory locations starting at the arbitrarily chosen
address X 3E00.
The stack pointer must be dimensioned in the main program as the RST 7 instruction automatically pushes
the PC onto the stack and the subroutine uses an additional 6 stack addresses.
The peripherals of concern are mapped into I/O space with the following port assignments:

10 Power Supply Recommendations
Precautions should be taken to insure that the power supply for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in
polarity or that the unit is not inadvertently installed backwards in a test socket as an unlimited current surge
through the resulting forward diode within the device could cause fusing of the internal conductors and result in a
destroyed unit.
Noise spikes on the VCC supply line can cause conversion errors as the comparator will respond to this noise. A
low-inductance, low-ESR tantalum bypass capacitor should be used close to the converter VCC pin, and a 10-µF
is recommended. If an unregulated voltage is available in the system, a separate 5-V voltage regulator for the
converter (and other analog circuitry) will greatly reduce digital noise on the VCC supply.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
All logic signal wires and leads should be grouped and kept as far away as possible from the analog signal
leads. Exposed leads to the analog inputs can cause undesired digital noise and 60-Hz pickup. Shielded leads
for the analog inputs may be required in sensitive applications. A single-point analog ground should be used that
is also separated from the logic ground points. The power supply bypass capacitor should be returned to digital
ground. Any VREF/2 bypass capacitors, analog input filter capacitors, or input signal shielding should be returned
to the analog ground point. A test for proper grounding is to measure the zero error of the ADC converter. Zero
errors in excess of 1/4 LSB is generally traceable to improper PCB layout and/or wiring.
To minimize potential offset issues, TI recommends to route the signal traces differentially next to each other so
that they will see the same thermal gradients and the same number of feedthroughs. Furthermore, inductance is
determined by the size of the loop of current. Providing a path for return currents next to the signal trace will
reduce the inductance. A solid ground plane is very advantageous in this regard. Ensure to minimize the loop
area formed by the bypass capacitor connection between VCC and ground. The ground pin should be connected
to the PCB ground plane at the pin of the device.
