Adjust the Offset potentiometer until the actual end point
transition voltage occurs at E
Off. The ideal transition
voltage values of the input are given in Table I.
Gain—Connect the Gain adjust potentiometer as shown in
Figure 11. Sweep the input through the end point transition
voltage; that should cause an output transition to all bits on
E
On. Adjust the Gain potentiometer until the actual end
point transition voltage occurs at E
IN
On.
Table I details the transition voltage levels required.
CONVERT COMMAND CONSIDERATIONS
Convert command resets the converter whenever taken high.
This insures a valid conversion on the first conversion after
power-up.
Convert command must stay low during a conversion unless
it is desired to reset the converter during a conversion.
OPTIONAL CONVERSION TIME ADJUSTMENT
The ADC76 may be operated with faster conversion times
for resolutions less than 14 bits by connecting the Short
Cycle (pin 32) as shown in Table III. Typical conversion
times for the resolution and connections are indicated.

Clock Rate Control may be connected to an external multi-
turn trim potentiometer with a TCR of
±
10ppm/
°
C or less as
shown in Figure 12. The typical conversion time versus the
Clock Rate Control voltage is shown in Figure 13. The effect
of varying the conversion time and the resolution on Linear-
ity Error and Differential Linearity Error is shown in Figure
6.
