The Intersil ICL7106 and ICL7107 are high performance, low
power, 31/2 digit A/D converters. Included are seven segment
decoders, display drivers, a reference, and a clock. The
ICL7106 is designed to interface with a liquid crystal display
(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/°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.

Features

• Guaranteed zero reading for 0V input on all scales
• True polarity at zero for precise null detection
• 1pA typical input current
• True differential input and reference, direct display drive LCD ICL7106, LED lCL7107
• Low noise – less than 15μVP-P
• On-chip clock and reference
• Low power dissipation – typically less than 10mW
• No additional active circuits required
• Enhanced display stability
• Pb-free (RoHS compliant)
