3-1/2 DIGIT A/D CONVERTERS

Decimal Point and Annunciator Drive

The TEST pin is connected to the internally-generated

digital logic supply ground through a 500

Ω resistor. The

TEST pin may be used as the negative supply for external

CMOS gate segment drivers. LCD display annunciators for

decimal points, low battery indication, or function indication

may be added without adding an additional supply. No more

than 1mA should be supplied by the TEST pin: its potential

is approximately 5V below V+.

Measurement

Ratiometric Resistance Measurements

The true differential input and differential reference

make ratiometric reading possible. Typically in a ratiometric

operation, an unknown resistance is measured with respect

to a known standard resistance. No accurately defined

reference voltage is needed.

The unknown resistance is put in series with a known

standard and a current passed through the pair. The voltage

developed across the unknown is applied to the input and

the voltage across the known resistor is applied to the

reference input. If the unknown equals the standard, the

display will read 1000. The displayed reading can be deter-

mined from the following expression:

Displayed Reading =

x 1000

The display will overrange for R Unknown

≥ 2 x R

standard.
