In systems where common-mode voltages exist, the

86dB common-mode rejection ratio minimizes error. Com-

mon-mode voltages do, however, affect the integrator out-

put level. A worst-case condition exists if a large, positive

tial signal. The negative signal drives the integrator output

integrator output swing can be reduced below the recom-

mended 2V full-scale swing. The integrator output will swing

The TC820 reference, like the analog signal input, has

true differential inputs. In addition, the reference voltage can

be generated anywhere within the power supply voltage of

the converter. The differential reference inputs permit

ratiometric measurements and simplify interfacing with sen-

sors, such as load cells and temperature sensors.
