Functional Description
resistance of the analog signal source. Bypass capacitors
should not be used if the source resistance is greater than 1
kΩ.
This source resistance limitation is important with regard to
the DC leakage currents of input multiplexer as well. The
worst-case leakage current of
create a 1 mV input error with a 1 kΩ source resistance. An
op amp RC active low pass filter can provide both imped-
ance buffering and noise filtering should a high impedance
signal source be required.
5.0 Optional Adjustments
5.1 Zero Error
The zero of the A/D does not require adjustment. If the
minimum analog input voltage value, V
a zero offset can be done. The converter can be made to
output 0000 0000 digital code for this minimum input voltage
by biasing any V
utilizes the differential mode operation of the A/D.
The zero error of the A/D converter relates to the location of
the first riser of the transfer function and can be measured by
grounding the V
positive voltage to the V
ence between the actual DC input voltage which is neces-
sary to just cause an output digital code transition from 0000
0000 to 0000 0001 and the ideal
mV for V
5.2 Full-Scale
The full-scale adjustment can be made by applying a differ-
ential input voltage which is 1
analog full-scale voltage range and then adjusting the mag-
nitude of the V
digital output code which is just changing from 1111 1110 to
1111 1111.
5.3 Adjusting for an Arbitrary Analog Input Voltage
Range
If the analog zero voltage of the A/D is shifted away from
ground (for example, to accommodate an analog input signal
which does not go to ground), this new zero reference
should be properly adjusted first. A V
equals this desired zero reference plus

analog span/256) is applied to selected “+” input and the
zero reference voltage at the corresponding “−” input should
then be adjusted to just obtain the 00
transition.

6.0 Power Supply
A unique feature of the ADC0838 and ADC0834 is the inclu-
sion of a zener diode connected from the V
ground which also connects to the V
actual converter supply) through a silicon diode, as shown in
Figure 3. (Note 3)
This zener is intended for use as a shunt voltage regulator to
eliminate the need for any additional regulating components.
This is most desirable if the converter is to be remotely
located from the system power source.Figure 4 and Figure 5
illustrate two useful applications of this on-board zener when
an external transistor can be afforded.
An important use of the interconnecting diode between V
and V
is used as a rectifier to allow the V
to be derived from the clock. The low current requirements of
the A/D and the relatively high clock frequencies used (typi-
cally in the range of 10k–400 kHz) allows using the small
value filter capacitor shown to keep the ripple on the V
to well under
