5.0
The TC500/A/510/514 incorporates an auto-zero and
Integrator phase in addition to the input signal Integrate
and reference De-integrate phases. The addition of
these phases reduce system errors, calibration steps
and shorten overrange recovery time. A typical
measurement cycle uses all four phases in the
following order:

the end of this phase: CMPTR = 1 for positive polarity;
CMPTR = 0 for negative polarity.

The internal analog switch status for each of these
phases is summarized in Table 5-1. This table

The previously charged reference capacitor is
connected with the proper polarity to ramp the
integrator output back to zero. An externally-provided,
precision timer is used to measure the duration of this
phase. The resulting time measurement is proportional
to the magnitude of the applied input voltage.
5.4
This phase ensures the integrator output is at 0V when
the auto-zero phase is entered, and that only system
offset voltages are compensated. This phase is used at
the end of the reference voltage de-integration phase
and MUST be used for ALL TC5XX applications having
resolutions of 12-bits or more. If this phase is not used,
the value of the auto-zero capacitor (C
