8-Bit μP Compatible A/D Converters with 8-Channel
Multiplexer
General Description
The ADC0808, ADC0809 data acquisition component is a
monolithic CMOS device with an 8-bit analog-to-digital con-
verter, 8-channel multiplexer and microprocessor compatible
control logic. The 8-bit A/D converter uses successive ap-
proximation as the conversion technique. The converter fea-
tures a high impedance chopper stabilized comparator, a
256R voltage divider with analog switch tree and a successive
approximation register. The 8-channel multiplexer can direct-
ly access any of 8-single-ended analog signals.
The device eliminates the need for external zero and full-scale
adjustments. Easy interfacing to microprocessors is provided
by the latched and decoded multiplexer address inputs and
latched TTL TRI-STATE outputs.
The design of the ADC0808, ADC0809 has been optimized
by incorporating the most desirable aspects of several A/D
conversion techniques. The ADC0808, ADC0809 offers high
speed, high accuracy, minimal temperature dependence, ex-
cellent long-term accuracy and repeatability, and consumes
minimal power. These features make this device ideally suit-
ed to applications from process and machine control to con-
sumer and automotive applications. For 16-channel multi-
plexer with common output (sample/hold port) see ADC0816
data sheet. (See AN-247 for more information.)

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 GND, unless otherwise specified.
Note 3: A Zener diode exists, internally, from VCC to GND and has a typical breakdown voltage of 7 VDC.
Note 4: Two on-chip diodes are tied to each analog input which will forward conduct for analog input voltages one diode drop below ground or one diode drop
greater than the VCCn supply. The spec allows 100 mV forward bias of either diode. This means that as long as the analog VIN does not exceed the supply voltage
by more than 100 mV, the output code will be correct. To achieve an absolute 0VDC to 5VDC input voltage range will therefore require a minimum supply voltage
of 4.900 VDC over temperature variations, initial tolerance and loading.
Note 5: Total unadjusted error includes offset, full-scale, linearity, and multiplexer errors. See Figure 3. None of these A/Ds requires a zero or full-scale adjust.
However, if an all zero code is desired for an analog input other than 0.0V, or if a narrow full-scale span exists (for example: 0.5V to 4.5V full-scale) the reference
voltages can be adjusted to achieve this. See Figure 13.
Note 6: Comparator input current is a bias current into or out of the chopper stabilized comparator. The bias current varies directly with clock frequency and has
little temperature dependence (Figure 6). See paragraph 4.0.
Note 7: The outputs of the data register are updated one clock cycle before the rising edge of EOC.

Functional Description
MULTIPLEXER
The device contains an 8-channel single-ended analog signal
multiplexer. A particular input channel is selected by using the
address decoder. Table 1 shows the input states for the ad-
dress lines to select any channel. The address is latched into
the decoder on the low-to-high transition of the address latch

CONVERTER CHARACTERISTICS
The Converter
The heart of this single chip data acquisition system is its 8-
bit analog-to-digital converter. The converter is designed to
give fast, accurate, and repeatable conversions over a wide
range of temperatures. The converter is partitioned into 3 ma-
jor sections: the 256R ladder network, the successive ap-
proximation register, and the comparator. The converter's
digital outputs are positive true.
The 256R ladder network approach (Figure 1) was chosen
over the conventional R/2R ladder because of its inherent
monotonicity, which guarantees no missing digital codes.
Monotonicity is particularly important in closed loop feedback
control systems. A non-monotonic relationship can cause os-
cillations that will be catastrophic for the system. Additionally,
the 256R network does not cause load variations on the ref-
erence voltage.
The bottom resistor and the top resistor of the ladder network
in Figure 1 are not the same value as the remainder of the
network. The difference in these resistors causes the output
characteristic to be symmetrical with the zero and full-scale
points of the transfer curve. The first output transition occurs
when the analog signal has reached +½ LSB and succeeding
output transitions occur every 1 LSB later up to full-scale.
The successive approximation register (SAR) performs 8 it-
erations to approximate the input voltage. For any SAR type
converter, n-iterations are required for an n-bit converter. Fig-
ure 2 shows a typical example of a 3-bit converter. In the
ADC0808, ADC0809, the approximation technique is extend-
ed to 8 bits using the 256R network.
The A/D converter's successive approximation register (SAR)
is reset on the positive edge of the start conversion start pulse.
The conversion is begun on the falling edge of the start con-
version pulse. A conversion in process will be interrupted by
receipt of a new start conversion pulse. Continuous conver-
sion may be accomplished by tying the end-of-conversion
(EOC) output to the SC input. If used in this mode, an external
start conversion pulse should be applied after power up. End-
of-conversion will go low between 0 and 8 clock pulses after
the rising edge of start conversion.
The most important section of the A/D converter is the com-
parator. It is this section which is responsible for the ultimate
accuracy of the entire converter. It is also the comparator drift
which has the greatest influence on the repeatability of the
device. A chopper-stabilized comparator provides the most
effective method of satisfying all the converter requirements.
The chopper-stabilized comparator converts the DC input sig-
nal into an AC signal. This signal is then fed through a high
gain AC amplifier and has the DC level restored. This tech-
nique limits the drift component of the amplifier since the drift
is a DC component which is not passed by the AC amplifier.
This makes the entire A/D converter extremely insensitive to
temperature, long term drift and input offset errors.
Figure 4 shows a typical error curve for the ADC0808 as
measured using the procedures outlined in AN-179.

OPERATION
1.0 RATIOMETRIC CONVERSION
The ADC0808, ADC0809 is designed as a complete Data
Acquisition System (DAS) for ratiometric conversion systems.
In ratiometric systems, the physical variable being measured
is expressed as a percentage of full-scale which is not nec-
essarily related to an absolute standard. The voltage input to
the ADC0808 is expressed by the equation
(1)
VIN= Input voltage into the ADC0808
Vfs= Full-scale voltage
VZ= Zero voltage
DX= Data point being measured
DMAX= Maximum data limit
DMIN= Minimum data limit
A good example of a ratiometric transducer is a potentiometer
used as a position sensor. The position of the wiper is directly
proportional to the output voltage which is a ratio of the full-
scale voltage across it. Since the data is represented as a
proportion of full-scale, reference requirements are greatly
reduced, eliminating a large source of error and cost for many
applications. A major advantage of the ADC0808, ADC0809
is that the input voltage range is equal to the supply range so
the transducers can be connected directly across the supply
and their outputs connected directly into the multiplexer in-
puts, (Figure 9).
Ratiometric transducers such as potentiometers, strain
gauges, thermistor bridges, pressure transducers, etc., are
suitable for measuring proportional relationships; however,
many types of measurements must be referred to an absolute
standard such as voltage or current. This means a system
reference must be used which relates the full-scale voltage to
the standard volt. For example, if VCC=VREF=5.12V, then the
full-scale range is divided into 256 standard steps. The small-
est standard step is 1 LSB which is then 20 mV.
2.0 RESISTOR LADDER LIMITATIONS
The voltages from the resistor ladder are compared to the
selected into 8 times in a conversion. These voltages are
coupled to the comparator via an analog switch tree which is
referenced to the supply. The voltages at the top, center and
bottom of the ladder must be controlled to maintain proper
operation.
The top of the ladder, Ref(+), should not be more positive than
the supply, and the bottom of the ladder, Ref(−), should not
be more negative than ground. The center of the ladder volt-
9 www.national.com
ADC0808/ADC0809
age must also be near the center of the supply because the
analog switch tree changes from N-channel switches to P-
channel switches. These limitations are automatically satis-
fied in ratiometric systems and can be easily met in ground
referenced systems.
Figure 10 shows a ground referenced system with a separate
supply and reference. In this system, the supply must be
trimmed to match the reference voltage. For instance, if a
5.12V is used, the supply should be adjusted to the same
voltage within 0.1V.
567207
FIGURE 9. Ratiometric Conversion System
The ADC0808 needs less than a milliamp of supply current
so developing the supply from the reference is readily ac-
complished. In Figure 11 a ground referenced system is
shown which generates the supply from the reference. The
buffer shown can be an op amp of sufficient drive to supply
the milliamp of supply current and the desired bus drive, or if
a capacitive bus is driven by the outputs a large capacitor will
supply the transient supply current as seen in Figure 12. The
LM301 is overcompensated to insure stability when loaded by
the 10 μF output capacitor.
The top and bottom ladder voltages cannot exceed VCC and
ground, respectively, but they can be symmetrically less than
VCC and greater than ground. The center of the ladder voltage
should always be near the center of the supply. The sensitivity
of the converter can be increased, (i.e., size of the LSB steps
decreased) by using a symmetrical reference system. In Fig-
ure 13, a 2.5V reference is symmetrically centered about
VCC/2 since the same current flows in identical resistors. This
system with a 2.5V reference allows the LSB bit to be half the
size of a 5V reference system.

VTUE=Total unadjusted error voltage (typically
VREF(+)÷512)
4.0 ANALOG COMPARATOR INPUTS
The dynamic comparator input current is caused by the peri-
odic switching of on-chip stray capacitances. These are con-
nected alternately to the output of the resistor ladder/switch
tree network and to the comparator input as part of the oper-
ation of the chopper stabilized comparator.
The average value of the comparator input current varies di-
rectly with clock frequency and with VIN as shown in
Figure 6.
If no filter capacitors are used at the analog inputs and the
signal source impedances are low, the comparator input cur-
rent should not introduce converter errors, as the transient
created by the capacitance discharge will die out before the
comparator output is strobed.
If input filter capacitors are desired for noise reduction and
signal conditioning they will tend to average out the dynamic
comparator input current. It will then take on the characteris-
tics of a DC bias current whose effect can be predicted
conventionally.
