TC7109A
12-BIT µP-COMPATIBLE ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTERS
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC7109A is a 12-bit plus sign, CMOS low-power
analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Only eight passive com-
ponents and a crystal are required to form a complete
dual-slope integrating ADC.
The improved VOH source current TC7109A has fea-
tures that make it an attractive per-channel alternative to
analog multiplexing for many data acquisition applica-
tions. These features include typical input bias current of
■ Zero-Integrator Cycle for Fast Recovery From
Input Overloads
■ Eliminates Cross -Talk in Multiplexed Systems
■ 12-Bit Plus Sign Integrating A/D Converter With
Overrange Indication
■ Sign Magnitude Coding Format
■ True Differential Signal Input and Differential
Reference Input
■ Low Noise............................................ 15 µVP-P Typ
■ Input Current .............................................. 1 pA Typ
■ No Zero Adjustment Needed
1pA drift of less than 1µV/°C, input noise typically 15µVP-P
,
and auto-zero. True differential input and reference allow
measurement of bridge-type transducers such as load
cells, strain gauges, and temperature transducers.
The TC7109A provides a versatile digital interface. In
the direct mode, chip select and HIGH/LOW byte enables
control parallel bus interface. In the handshake mode, the
TC7109A will operate with industry-standard UARTs in
controlling serial data transmission — ideal for remote
data logging. Control and monitoring of conversion timing
is provided by the RUN/HOLD input and STATUS output.
For applications requiring more resolution, see the
TC500, 15-bit plus sign ADC data sheet.

ORDERING INFORMATION
PART CODE
TC7109X
A or blank*
The TC7109A has improved overrange recovery per-
formance and higher output drive capability than the origi-
nal TC7109. All new (or existing) designs should specify
the TC7109A wherever possible.
