Description:
The NTE2055 is a high performance, low power, 3
1
/

digit A/D converter combining both linear CMOS and
digital CMOS circuits on a single monolithic IC. Available in a 24–Lead DIP type package, this device is de-
signed to minimize use of external components. With two external resistors and two external capacitors, the
system forms a dual slope A/D converter with automatic zero correction and automatic polarity.
The NTE2055 is ratiometric and may be used over a full–scale range from 1.999V to 199.9mV. Systems using
this device may operate over a wide range of power supply voltages for ease of use with batteries, or with stan-
dard 5V supplies. The output drive conforms with standard B–Series CMOS specifications and can drive a
low–power Schottky TTL load.
The high impedance MOS inputs allow applications in current and resistance meters as well as voltmeters.
In addition to DVM/DPM applications, the NTE2055 finds use in digital thermometers, digital scales, remote
A/D, A/D control systems, and in MPU systems.

Note
1. This device contains circuitry to protect the inputs against damage due to high static voltages or electric
fields; however, it is advised that normal precautions be taken to avoid applications of any voltage higher
than maximum rated voltages to this high impedance circuit. For proper operation it is recommended that
