7.6 Integrator Output Zero Phase
The comparator delay and the controller's response
latency may result in overshoot, causing charge
buildup on the integrator at the end of a conversion.
This charge must be removed or performance will
degrade. The Integrator Output Zero phase should be
activated (AB = 00) until CMPTR goes high. It is abso-
lutely critical that this phase be terminated immediately
so that Overshoot is not allowed to occur in the oppo-
site direction. At this point, it can be assured that the
integrator is near zero. Auto Zero should be entered
(AB = 01) and the TC5XX held in this state until the next
cycle is begun (see Figure 7-2).

7.7 Using the TC510/TC514
7.7.1
NEGATIVE SUPPLY VOLTAGE
CONVERTER (TC510, TC514)
A capacitive charge pump is employed to invert the volt-
age on VDD for negative bias within the TC510/TC514.
This voltage is also available on the VOUT- pin to provide
negative bias elsewhere in the system. Two external
capacitors are required to perform the conversion.
Timing is generated by an internal state machine driven
from an on-board oscillator. During the first phase,
capacitor CF is switched across the power supply and
charged to VS+. This charge is transferred to capacitor
COUT- during the second phase. The oscillator normally
runs at 100kHz to ensure minimum output ripple. This
frequency can be reduced by placing a capacitor from
OSC to VDD. The relationship between the capacitor
value is shown in Section 9.0.
7.7.2
ANALOG INPUT MULTIPLEXER
(TC514)
The TC514 is equipped with a four input differential
analog multiplexer. Input channels are selected using
select inputs (A1, A0). These are high-true control sig-
nals (i.e., channel 0 is selected when (A1, A0 = 00).
