TC835
PERSONAL COMPUTER DATA ACQUISITION A/D CONVERTER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
■ Upgrade of Pin-Compatible TC7135, ICL7135,
MAX7135 and SI7135
■ Guaranteed 200 kHz Operation
■ Single 5V Operation With TC7660
■ Multiplexed BCD Data Output
■ UART and Microprocessor Interface
■ Control Outputs for Auto-Ranging
■ Input Sensitivity ............................................ 100 µV
■ No Sample and Hold Required
The TC835 is a low-power, 4-1/2 digit (0.005% resolu-
tion), BCD analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that has been
characterized for 200 kHz clock rate operation. The five
conversions per second rate is nearly twice as fast as the
ICL7135 or TC7135. The TC835 (like the TC7135) does
not use the external diode-resistor roll-over error compen-
sation circuits required by the ICL7135.
The multiplexed BCD data output is perfect for interfac-
ing to personal computers. The low-cost, greater than 14-
bit high-resolution, and 100 µV sensitivity makes the TC835
exceptionally cost-effective.
Microprocessor-based data acquisition systems are
supported by the BUSY and STROBE outputs, along with
the RUN/HOLD input of the TC835. The overrange, under-
range, busy, and run/hold control functions and multiplexed
BCD data outputs make the TC835 the ideal converter for
µP-based scales and measurement systems and intelligent
panel meters.*
The TC835 interfaces with full-function LCD and LED
display decoder/drivers. The UNDERRANGE and
OVERRANGE outputs may be used to implement an auto-
ranging scheme or special display functions.
APPLICATIONS
