Functional Description (Continued)
This zener is intended for use as a shunt voltage regulator
to eliminate the need for any additional regulating compo-
nents. This is most desirable if the converter is to be re-
motely located from the system power source.
Figures 4
and 5
illustrate two useful applications of this on-board ze-
ner when an external transistor can be afforded.
An important use of the interconnecting diode between V
a
and V
CC
is shown in
Figures 6 and 7
. Here, this diode is
used as a rectifier to allow the V
CC
supply for the converter
to be derived from the clock. The low current requirements
of the A/D and the relatively high clock frequencies used
(typically in the range of 10k–400 kHz) allows using the
small value filter capacitor shown to keep the ripple on the
V
CC
line to well under (/4 of an LSB. The shunt zener regula-
tor can also be used in this mode. This requires a clock
voltage swing which is in excess of V
Z
. A current limit for the
zener is needed, either built into the clock generator or a
resistor can be used from the CLK pin to the V
a
pin.
