General Description
The TC7135 4-1/2 digit A/D Converter (ADC) offers
50 ppm (1 part in 20,000) resolution with a maximum
nonlinearity error of 1 count. An auto-zero cycle
reduces zero error to below 10 µV and zero drift to
0.5 µV/°C. Source impedance errors are minimized by
a 10 pA maximum input current. Rollover error is
limited to ±1 count.
Microprocessor-based measurement systems are
supported by the BUSY, STROBE and RUN/HOLD
control signals. Remote data acquisition systems with
data transfer via UARTs are also possible. The addi-
tional control pins and multiplexed BCD outputs make
the TC7135 the ideal converter for display or
microprocessor-based measurement systems.
Applications
• Precision Analog Signal Processor
• Precision Sensor Interface
• High Accuracy DC Measurements

Digit drive output. Least Significant Digit (LSD).
Busy output. At the beginning of the signal-integration
phase, BUSY goes high and remains high until the
first clock pulse after the integrator zero crossing.
Clock input. Conversion clock connection.
Polarity output. A positive input is indicated by a logic
high output. The polarity output is valid at the
beginning of the reference integrate phase and
remains valid until determined during the next
conversion.
Digital logic reference input.
Run/Hold input. When at a logic high, conversions are
performed continuously. A logic low holds the current
data as long as the low condition exists.
Strobe output. The STROBE output pulses low in the
center of the digit drive outputs.
Overrange output. A logic high indicates that the
analog input exceeds the full-scale input range.
Underrange output. A logic high indicates that the
analog input is less than 9% of the full-scale input
range.
