Description
The Intersil ICL7106 and ICL7107 are high performance, low
power, 3
1
/
2
digit A/D converters. Included are seven seg-
ment decoders, display drivers, a reference, and a clock.
The ICL7106 is designed to interface with a liquid crystal dis-
play (LCD) and includes a multiplexed backplane drive; the
ICL7107 will directly drive an instrument size light emitting
diode (LED) display.
The ICL7106 and ICL7107 bring together a combination of
high accuracy, versatility, and true economy. It features auto-
zero to less than 10μV, zero drift of less than 1μV/
o
C, input
bias current of 10pA (Max), and rollover error of less than
one count. True differential inputs and reference are useful in
all systems, but give the designer an uncommon advantage
when measuring load cells, strain gauges and other bridge
type transducers. Finally, the true economy of single power
supply operation (ICL7106), enables a high performance
panel meter to be built with the addition of only 10 passive
components and a display.

Detailed Description
Analog Section
Figure 3 shows the Analog Section for the ICL7106 and
ICL7107. Each measurement cycle is divided into three
phases. They are (1) auto-zero (A-Z), (2) signal integrate
(INT) and (3) de-integrate (DE).
Auto-Zero Phase
During auto-zero three things happen. First, input high and
low are disconnected from the pins and internally shorted to
analog COMMON. Second, the reference capacitor is
charged to the reference voltage. Third, a feedback loop is
closed around the system to charge the auto-zero capacitor
C
AZ
to compensate for offset voltages in the buffer amplifier,
integrator, and comparator. Since the comparator is included
in the loop, the A-Z accuracy is limited only by the noise of
the system. In any case, the offset referred to the input is
less than 10μV.
Signal Integrate Phase
During signal integrate, the auto-zero loop is opened, the
internal short is removed, and the internal input high and low
are connected to the external pins. The converter then
integrates the differential voltage between IN HI and IN LO
for a fixed time. This differential voltage can be within a wide
common mode range: up to 1V from either supply. If, on the
other hand, the input signal has no return with respect to the
converter power supply, IN LO can be tied to analog
COMMON to establish the correct common mode voltage. At
the end of this phase, the polarity of the integrated signal is
determined.
De-Integrate Phase
The final phase is de-integrate, or reference integrate. Input
low is internally connected to analog COMMON and input
high is connected across the previously charged reference
capacitor. Circuitry within the chip ensures that the capacitor
will be connected with the correct polarity to cause the
integrator output to return to zero. The time required for the
output to return to zero is proportional to the input signal.
Specifically the digital reading displayed is:
.
Differential Input
The input can accept differential voltages anywhere within the
common mode range of the input amplifier, or specifically from
0.5V below the positive supply to 1V above the negative sup-
ply. In this range, the system has a CMRR of 86dB typical.
However, care must be exercised to assure the integrator out-
put does not saturate. A worst case condition would be a large
positive common mode voltage with a near full scale negative
differential input voltage. The negative input signal drives the
integrator positive when most of its swing has been used up
by the positive common mode voltage. For these critical appli-
cations the integrator output swing can be reduced to less
than the recommended 2V full scale swing with little loss of
accuracy. The integrator output can swing to within 0.3V of
either supply without loss of linearity.

Differential Reference
The reference voltage can be generated anywhere within the
power supply voltage of the converter. The main source of com-
mon mode error is a roll-over voltage caused by the reference
capacitor losing or gaining charge to stray capacity on its
nodes. If there is a large common mode voltage, the reference
capacitor can gain charge (increase voltage) when called up to
de-integrate a positive signal but lose charge (decrease volt-
age) when called up to de-integrate a negative input signal.
This difference in reference for positive or negative input voltage
will give a roll-over error. However, by selecting the reference
capacitor such that it is large enough in comparison to the stray
capacitance, this error can be held to less than 0.5 count worst
case. (See Component Value Selection.)
Analog COMMON
This pin is included primarily to set the common mode
voltage for battery operation (ICL7106) or for any system
where the input signals are floating with respect to the power
supply. The COMMON pin sets a voltage that is approxi-
mately 2.8V more negative than the positive supply. This is
selected to give a minimum end-of-life battery voltage of
about 6V. However, analog COMMON has some of the
attributes of a reference voltage. When the total supply
voltage is large enough to cause the zener to regulate (>7V),
the COMMON voltage will have a low voltage coefficient
(0.001%/V), low output impedance (?15?), and a
temperature coefficient typically less than 80ppm/
o
C.
The limitations of the on chip reference should also be
recognized, however. With the ICL7107, the internal heating
which results from the LED drivers can cause some
degradation in performance. Due to their higher thermal resis-
tance, plastic parts are poorer in this respect than ceramic.
The combination of reference Temperature Coefficient (TC),
internal chip dissipation, and package thermal resistance can
increase noise near full scale from 25μVto80μV
P-P
. Also the
linearity in going from a high dissipation count such as 1000
(20 segments on) to a low dissipation count such as 1111(8
segments on) can suffer by a count or more. Devices with a
positive TC reference may require several counts to pull out of
an over-range condition. This is because over-range is a low
dissipation mode, with the three least significant digits
blanked. Similarly, units with a negative TC may cycle
between over-range and a non-over-range count as the die
alternately heats and cools. All these problems are of course
eliminated if an external reference is used.
The ICL7106, with its negligible dissipation, suffers from
none of these problems. In either case, an external
reference can easily be added, as shown in Figure 4.
Analog COMMON is also used as the input low return during
auto-zero and de-integrate. If IN LO is different from analog
COMMON, a common mode voltage exists in the system
and is taken care of by the excellent CMRR of the converter.
However, in some applications IN LO will be set at a fixed
known voltage (power supply common for instance). In this
application, analog COMMON should be tied to the same
point, thus removing the common mode voltage from the
converter. The same holds true for the reference voltage. If
reference can be conveniently tied to analog COMMON, it
should be since this removes the common mode voltage
from the reference system.
Within the lC, analog COMMON is tied to an N-Channel FET
that can sink approximately 30mA of current to hold the
voltage 2.8V below the positive supply (when a load is trying
to pull the common line positive). However, there is only
10μA of source current, so COMMON may easily be tied to a
more negative voltage thus overriding the internal reference.
TEST
The TEST pin serves two functions. On the ICL7106 it is
coupled to the internally generated digital supply through a
500? resistor. Thus it can be used as the negative supply for
externally generated segment drivers such as decimal points
or any other presentation the user may want to include on
the LCD display. Figures 5 and 6 show such an application.
No more than a 1mA load should be applied.

The second function is a “lamp test”. When TEST is pulled
high (to V+) all segments will be turned on and the display
should read “1888”. The TEST pin will sink about 15mA
under these conditions.
CAUTION: In the lamp test mode, the segments have a constant DC
voltage (no square-wave). This may burn the LCD display if main-
tained for extended periods.
Digital Section
Figures 7 and 8 show the digital section for the ICL7106 and
ICL7107, respectively. In the ICL7106, an internal digital
ground is generated from a 6V Zener diode and a large
P-Channel source follower. This supply is made stiff to
absorb the relative large capacitive currents when the back
plane (BP) voltage is switched. The BP frequency is the
clock frequency divided by 800. For three readings/sec., this
is a 60Hz square wave with a nominal amplitude of 5V. The
segments are driven at the same frequency and amplitude
and are in phase with BP when OFF, but out of phase when
ON. In all cases negligible DC voltage exists across the
segments.
Figure 8 is the Digital Section of the ICL7107. It is identical
to the ICL7106 except that the regulated supply and back
plane drive have been eliminated and the segment drive has
been increased from 2mA to 8mA, typical for instrument size
common anode LED displays. Since the 1000 output (pin 19)
must sink current from two LED segments, it has twice the
drive capability or 16mA.
In both devices, the polarity indication is “on” for negative
analog inputs. If IN LO and IN HI are reversed, this indication
can be reversed also, if desired.

System Timing
Figure 9 shows the clocking arrangement used in the
ICL7106 and ICL7107. Two basic clocking arrangements
can be used:
1. Figure 9A. An external oscillator connected to pin 40.
2. Figure 9B. An R-C oscillator using all three pins.
The oscillator frequency is divided by four before it clocks the
decade counters. It is then further divided to form the three
convert-cycle phases. These are signal integrate (1000
counts), reference de-integrate (0 to 2000 counts) and
auto-zero (1000 to 3000 counts). For signals less than full
scale, auto-zero gets the unused portion of reference
de-integrate. This makes a complete measure cycle of 4,000
counts (16,000 clock pulses) independent of input voltage.
For three readings/second, an oscillator frequency of 48kHz
would be used.
To achieve maximum rejection of 60Hz pickup, the signal
integrate cycle should be a multiple of 60Hz. Oscillator
frequencies of 240kHz, 120kHz, 80kHz, 60kHz, 48kHz,
40kHz, 33

kHz, etc. should be selected. For 50Hz rejec-
tion, Oscillator frequencies of 200kHz, 100kHz, 66

50kHz, 40kHz, etc. would be suitable. Note that 40kHz (2.5
readings/second) will reject both 50Hz and 60Hz (also
400Hz and 440Hz).

Component Value Selection
Integrating Resistor
Both the buffer amplifier and the integrator have a class A
output stage with 100μA of quiescent current. They can
supply 4μA of drive current with negligible nonlinearity. The
integrating resistor should be large enough to remain in this
very linear region over the input voltage range, but small
enough that undue leakage requirements are not placed on
the PC board. For 2V full scale, 470k? is near optimum and
similarly a 47k? for a 200mV scale.
Integrating Capacitor
The integrating capacitor should be selected to give the
maximum voltage swing that ensures tolerance buildup will
not saturate the integrator swing (approximately. 0.3V from
either supply). In the ICL7106 or the ICL7107, when the
analog COMMON is used as a reference, a nominal +2V full-
scale integrator swing is fine. For the ICL7107 with +5V
supplies and analog COMMON tied to supply ground, a
±3.5V to +4V swing is nominal. For three readings/second
(48kHz clock) nominal values for C
lNT
are 0.22μF and
0.10μF, respectively. Of course, if different oscillator frequen-
cies are used, these values should be changed in inverse
proportion to maintain the same output swing.
An additional requirement of the integrating capacitor is that
it must have a low dielectric absorption to prevent roll-over
errors. While other types of capacitors are adequate for this
application, polypropylene capacitors give undetectable
errors at reasonable cost.
Auto-Zero Capacitor
The size of the auto-zero capacitor has some influence on
the noise of the system. For 200mV full scale where noise is
very important, a 0.47μF capacitor is recommended. On the
2V scale, a 0.047μF capacitor increases the speed of recov-
ery from overload and is adequate for noise on this scale.
Reference Capacitor
A 0.1μF capacitor gives good results in most applications.
However, where a large common mode voltage exists (i.e.,
the REF LO pin is not at analog COMMON) and a 200mV
scale is used, a larger value is required to prevent roll-over
error. Generally 1μF will hold the roll-over error to 0.5 count
in this instance.
Oscillator Components
For all ranges of frequency a 100k? resistor is recommended
and the capacitor is selected from the equation:
Reference Voltage
The analog input required to generate full scale output (2000
counts) is: V
lN
=2V
REF
. Thus, for the 200mV and 2V scale,
V
REF
should equal 100mV and 1V, respectively. However, in
many applications where the A/D is connected to a
transducer, there will exist a scale factor other than unity
between the input voltage and the digital reading. For
instance, in a weighing system, the designer might like to
have a full scale reading when the voltage from the
transducer is 0.662V. Instead of dividing the input down to
200mV, the designer should use the input voltage directly
and select V
REF
= 0.341V. Suitable values for integrating
resistor and capacitor would be 1 20k? and 0.22μF. This
makes the system slightly quieter and also avoids a divider
network on the input. The ICL7107 with ±5V supplies can
accept input signals up to ±4V. Another advantage of this
system occurs when a digital reading of zero is desired for
V
IN
≠ 0. Temperature and weighing systems with a variable
fare are examples. This offset reading can be conveniently
generated by connecting the voltage transducer between IN
HI and COMMON and the variable (or fixed) offset voltage
between COMMON and IN LO.
ICL7107 Power Supplies
The ICL7107 is designed to work from ±5V supplies.
However, if a negative supply is not available, it can be
generated from the clock output with 2 diodes, 2 capacitors,
and an inexpensive lC. Figure 10 shows this application. See
ICL7660 data sheet for an alternative.
In fact, in selected applications no negative supply is
required. The conditions to use a single +5V supply are:
1. The input signal can be referenced to the center of the
common mode range of the converter.
2. The signal is less than ±1.5V.
3. An external reference is used.

IN LO is tied to supply COMMON establishing the correct common mode
voltage. If COMMON is not shorted to GND, the input voltage may float
with respect to the power supply and COMMON acts as a pre-regulator
for the reference. If COMMON is shorted to GND, the input is single
ended (referred to supply GND) and the pre-regulator is overridden.
