APPLICATIONS AND DESIGN NOTES
Determination and Selection of System Variables
The procedure outlined below allows the user to determine the
values for the following ALD500RAU/ALD500RA/ALD500R
system design variables:
System Timing
Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the overall timing for a typical
system in which ALD500RAU/ALD500RA/ALD500R is
interfaced to a microcontroller. The microcontroller drives the
A, B inputs with I/O lines and monitors the comparator output,
C
It may be necessary to monitor the state of the comparator
output in addition to having it control a timer directly during the
Reference Deintegration Phase.
There are four critical timing events: sampling the input
polarity; capturing the deintegration time; minimizing overshoot
and properly executing the Integrator Output Zero Phase.
Selecting Input Integration Time
For maximum 50/60 cycle noise rejection, Input Integration
Time must be picked as a multiple of the period of line
frequency. For example, t
100 msec maximize 60Hz line rejection, and 20msec, 40
msec, 80msec, and 100 msec maximize 50Hz line rejection.
Note that t

Using the 20 A buffer maximum output current, the value of
the integrating capacitor is calculated as follows:
where: t
It is critical that the integrating capacitor must have a very low
dielectric absorption, as charge loss or gain during conversion
directly converts into an error voltage. Polypropylene capacitors
are recommended while Polyester and Polybicarbonate
capacitors may also be used in less critical applications.

Calculate V
The reference deintegration voltage is calculated using:
The ALD500RAU/ALD500RA/ALD500R requires an external
R
metal film 100K resistor, 50 ppm/C. Any other loading must
be high impedance ( 100M ).
Converter Noise
The converter noise is the total algebraic sum of the integrator
noise and the comparator noise. This value is typically 14 V
peak to peak. The higher the value of the reference voltage,
the lower the converter noise. Such sources of noise errors
can be reduced by increased integration times, which effectively
filter out any such noise. If the integration time periods are
selected as multiples of 50/60Hz frequencies, then 50/60Hz
noise is also rejected, or averaged out. The signal-to-noise
ratio is related to the integration time (t
time constant (R
This converter noise can also be reduced by using multiple
samples and mathematically averaged. For example, taking
16 samples and averaging the readings result in a mathematical
(by software) filtering of noise to less than 4 V.
