Note that the electrical specification tables are based on
using an external 2MHz clock. Typically, the specified
accuracy is maintained for clock frequencies between 0.5
and 2.4MHz.

INTERNAL CLOCK OPERATION
Figure 12b shows how to use the internal clock generating
circuitry. The clock frequency depends only on the value of
the resistor, as shown in “Internal Clock Frequency vs
R
CLOCK
” in the Typical Performance Curves section.
The clock generator can operate between 100kHz and 2MHz.
With R = 100k
, the clock frequency will nominally be
800kHz. The internal clock oscillators may vary by up to
20% from device to device, and will vary with temperature,
as shown in the typical performance curves. Therefore, use
of an external clock source is preferred in applications where
control of the conversion timing is critical, or where multiple
converters need to be synchronized.

APPLICATIONS
BIPOLAR INPUT RANGES
Figure 13 shows a circuit to accurately and simply convert
a bipolar
±
5V input signal into a unipolar 0 to 5V signal for
conversion by the ADS7832, using a precision, low-cost
complete difference amplifier, INA105.
Figure 14 shows a circuit to convert a bipolar
±
10V input
signal into a unipolar 0 to 5V signal for conversion by the
ADS7832. The precision of this circuit will depend on the
matching and tracking of the three resistors used.
To trim this circuit for full 12-bit precision, R
2
and R
3
need
to be adjustable over appropriate ranges. To trim, first have
the ADS7832 converting continually and apply +9.9927V
(+10V – 1.5LSB) at the input. Adjust R
3
until the ADS7832
output toggles between the codes FFE hex and FFF hex.
This makes R
3
extremely close to R
1
. Then, apply –9.9976V
(–10V + 0.5LSB) at the input, and adjust R
2
until the
ADS7832 output toggles between 000 hex and 001 hex. At
each trim point, the current through the third resistor will be
almost zero, so that one trim iteration will be enough in most
cases. More iterations may be required if the op amp se-
lected has large offset voltage or bias currents, or if the +5V
reference is not precise.
This circuit can also be used to adjust gain and offset errors
due to the components preceding the ADS7832, to match the
performance of the self-calibration provided by the con-
verter.
