8-Bit Serial I O A D Converters with Multiplexer Options
General Description
The ADC0831 series are 8-bit successive approximation
A D converters with a serial I O and configurable input mul-
tiplexers with up to 8 channels The serial I O is configured
to comply with the NSC MICROWIRE
TM
serial data ex-
change standard for easy interface to the COPS
TM
family of
processors and can interface with standard shift registers
or
mPs
The 2- 4- or 8-channel multiplexers are software configured
for single-ended or differential inputs as well as channel as-
signment
The differential analog voltage input allows increasing the
common-mode rejection and offsetting the analog zero in-
put voltage value In addition the voltage reference input
can be adjusted to allow encoding any smaller analog volt-
age span to the full 8 bits of resolution

Note 1
Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur DC and AC electrical specifications do not apply when operating
the device beyond its specified operating conditions
Note 2
All voltages are measured with respect to the ground plugs
Note 3
Internal zener diodes (6 3 to 8 5V) are connected from V
a
to GND and V
CC
to GND The zener at V
a
can operate as a shunt regulator and is connected
to V
CC
via a conventional diode Since the zener voltage equals the A D’s breakdown voltage the diode insures that V
CC
will be below breakdown when the device
is powered from V
a
Functionality is therefore guaranteed for V
a
operation even though the resultant voltage at V
CC
may exceed the specified Absolute Max of
6 5V It is recommended that a resistor be used to limit the max current into V
a
(See
Figure 3
in Functional Description Section 6 0)
Note 4
When the input voltage (V
IN
) at any pin exceeds the power supply rails (V
IN
k
V
b
or V
IN
l
V
a
) the absolute value of current at that pin should be limited
to 5 mA or less The 20 mA package input current limits the number of pins that can exceed the power supply boundaries with a 5 mA current limit to four

Note 7

Note 8
For V

)
t
V
IN
(
a
) the digital output code will be 0000 0000 Two on-chip diodes are tied to each analog input (see Block Diagram) which will forward
conduct for analog input voltages one diode drop below ground or one diode drop greater then the V
CC
supply Be careful during testing at low V
CC
levels (4 5V)
as high level analog inputs (5V) can cause this input diode to conduct especially at elevated temperatures and cause errors for analog inputs near full-scale The
spec allows 50 mV forward bias of either diode This means that as long as the analog V
IN
or V
REF
does not exceed the supply voltage by more than 50 mV the
output code will be correct To achieve an absolute 0 V
DC
to 5 V
DC
input voltage range will therefore require a minimum supply voltage of 4 950 V
DC
over
temperature variations initial tolerance and loading
Note 9
Leakage current is measured with the clock not switching
Note 10
A 40% to 60% clock duty cycle range insures proper operation at all clock frequencies In the case that an available clock has a duty cycle outside of
these limits the minimum time the clock is high or the minimum time the clock is low must be at least 1
ms
The maximum time the clock can be high is 60
ms
The
clock can be stopped when low so long as the analog input voltage remains stable
Note 11
Since data MSB first is the output of the comparator used in the successive approximation loop an additional delay is built in (see Block Diagram) to
allow for comparator response time
Note 12
Typicals are at 25 C and represent most likely parametric norm
Note 13
Tested limits are guaranteed to National’s AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level)
Note 14
Guaranteed but not 100% production tested These limits are not used to calculate outgoing quality levels
