Product details
Overview
TC850ILW713 from Microchip Technology is a 15-bit plus sign monolithic CMOS integrating analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with chopper-stabilized amplifiers, multiple-slope conversion architecture, and ±5V dual-supply operation. It delivers up to 40 conversions per second, 96 dB dynamic range, and 30 pA input bias current - enabling direct sensor interface in precision DC measurement systems such as digital scales and industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TC850ILW713 datasheet, TC850ILW713 pinout, TC850ILW713 application, or TC850ILW713 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world timing behavior, bus interface constraints, noise immunity characteristics, and validated alternative options for high-accuracy analog signal acquisition.
Technical Context
The TC850ILW713 implements a multiple-slope integrating ADC architecture with auto-zeroed chopper-stabilized buffer and integrator amplifiers. Its conversion cycle comprises three phases - zero integrator (246 clocks), signal integrate (256 clocks), and reference integrate (778 clocks) - totaling 1280 internal clock cycles per conversion at 61.44 kHz oscillator frequency.
It uses two differential voltage references (VREF1 and VREF2 = VREF1/64) to enable fast-slow de-integration: 512 clocks for 9-bit resolution followed by 64 clocks for additional 6-bit resolution. The device supports both continuous and on-demand conversion modes via CONT/DEMAND control, with BUSY output signaling end-of-conversion and enabling µP interrupt-driven data capture.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-accuracy integrating ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7730BRUZ | 24-bit sigma-delta ADC; higher resolution but slower (10–125 sps), requires external reference and clock | Used in weigh scales requiring >16-bit resolution; lacks integrated oscillator and auto-zero circuitry | Choose AD7730BRUZ when ultimate resolution outweighs speed and board space; TC850ILW713 offers faster throughput with simpler BOM. |
| MAX134ACPP | 18-bit dual-slope ADC; 10 sps max, ±15 V supply, no integrated oscillator, larger 28-pin DIP package | Legacy industrial panel meters; requires external timing components and zero calibration | Choose MAX134ACPP for legacy replacement where ±15 V supplies exist; TC850ILW713 reduces component count and improves noise rejection. |
Compared with AD7730BRUZ and MAX134ACPP, the TC850ILW713 uniquely balances 15-bit accuracy, 40 sps speed, integrated oscillator, auto-zeroing, and ±5 V operation - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, noise-prone, µP-based DC measurement systems needing rapid deployment and minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum conversion rate of the TC850ILW713?
The TC850ILW713 achieves up to 40 conversions per second using its multiple-slope integration technique. This is enabled by a 1280-clock-cycle conversion cycle at a 61.44 kHz oscillator frequency (yielding ~47.8 Hz system clock after ÷4 division). The rate assumes optimal external component selection and stable ±5 V supplies.
Does the TC850ILW713 require external zero calibration?
No, the TC850ILW713 does not require external zero calibration. Its chopper-stabilized input buffer and integrator amplifiers are auto-zeroed internally during each conversion's zero-integrator phase. This guarantees zero digital output at 0 V differential input without trim pots or software calibration routines - a key feature confirmed in DS21479D-page 2 and page 8.
How is the 15-bit result transferred over the 8-bit bus of the TC850ILW713?
The TC850ILW713 transfers its 15-bit result plus sign and overrange bits across three sequential 8-bit reads in Continuous mode, or via multiplexed byte selection in Demand mode. In Demand mode, L/H and OVR/POL pins control whether DB0–DB7 carry the low byte, high byte (with polarity on DB7), or high byte (with overrange on DB7). Full details are specified in Table 6-1 of DS21479D.
What reference voltage configuration is required for proper operation of the TC850ILW713?
The TC850ILW713 requires two differential reference voltages: VREF1 applied between REF1+ and REF−, and VREF2 = VREF1/64 applied between REF2+ and REF−. Typical values are VREF1 = 1.6384 V and VREF2 = 25.6 mV. CREF1 and CREF2 capacitors must be connected as shown in Figure 1-1; VREF2 tolerance should be ≤0.5% to maintain 15-bit linearity.
Can the TC850ILW713 operate with an external clock instead of a crystal?
Yes, the TC850ILW713 supports external clock operation. Drive OSC1 with a CMOS-level square wave (0 V to VDD), leave OSC2 unconnected, and ensure the signal meets timing requirements in DS21479D-page 4 (e.g., minimum pulse width). The internal ÷4 divider applies to both crystal and external clock sources, preserving consistent 1280-cycle conversion timing.
