CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
(Refer to Figure 2 and Table 1)
Any offset and/or gain calibration procedures should not be
implemented until devices are fully warmed up. To avoid
interaction, offset must be adjusted before gain. The ranges of
adjustment for the circuit in Figure 2 are guaranteed to
compensate for the ADS-944's initial accuracy errors and may
not be able to compensate for additional system errors.
A/D converters are calibrated by positioning their digital
outputs exactly on the transition point between two adjacent
digital output codes. This can be accomplished by connecting
LED's to the digital outputs and adjusting until certain LED's
"flicker" equally between on and off. Other approaches
employ digital comparators or microcontrollers to detect when
the outputs change from one code to the next.
Note: Connect pin 5 to ANALOG GROUND (pin 6) for
operation without zero/offset adjustment. Connect pin 7 to
ANALOG GROUND (pin 6) for operation without gain
adjustment.

driving multiple LSTTL or HCT loads, we recommend the
output bits and the EOC line each drive only a single gate.
These gates should be located as close to the unit as
possible. If they can not, 33

COMP. BITS
For the ADS-944, offset adjusting is normally accomplished at
the point where the MSB is a 1 and all other output bits are 0's
and the LSB just changes from a 0 to a 1. This digital output
transition ideally occurs when the applied analog input is
+½ LSB (+76.3µV).
Gain adjusting is accomplished when all bits are 1's and the
LSB just changes from a 1 to a 0. This transition ideally
occurs when the analog input is at +full scale minus 1½ LSB's
(+1.249771) .
Zero/Offset Adjust Procedure
1. Apply a train of pulses to the START CONVERT input
2. Apply +76.3µV to the ANALOG INPUT (pin 3).
3. Adjust the offset potentiometer until the output bits are
4. Two's complement coding requires using BIT 1 (MSB)
Gain Adjust Procedure
1. Apply +1.249771V to the ANALOG INPUT (pin 3).
2. Adjust the gain potentiometer until all output bits are 1's and

Note: Due to inherent system noise, the averaging of several
