ADS-119
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
(Refer to Figures 3 and 4, Table 1)
Any offset and/or gain calibration procedures should not be
implemented until devices are fully warmed up. To avoid
interaction, offset must be adjusted before gain. The ranges of
adjustment for the circuits in Figure 3 and 4 are guaranteed to
compensate for the ADS-119's initial accuracy errors and may
not be able to compensate for additional system errors.
A/D converters are calibrated by positioning their digital outputs
exactly on the transition point between two adjacent digital
output codes. This can be accomplished by connecting LED's
to the digital outputs and adjusting until certain LED's "flicker"
equally between on and off. Other approaches employ digital
comparators or microcontrollers to detect when the outputs
change from one code to the next.
Offset adjusting for the ADS-119 is normally accomplished at
the point where the MSB is a 1 and all other output bits are 0's
and the LSB just changes from a 0 to a 1. This digital output
transition ideally occurs when the applied analog input is
+½ LSB (+366µV).
Gain adjusting is accomplished when all bits are 1's and the
LSB just changes from a 1 to a 0. This transition ideally occurs
when the analog input is at +full scale minus 1 ½ LSB's
(+1.4989V).
Zero/Offset Adjust Procedure
1. Apply a train of pulses to the START CONVERT input
2. Apply +366µV to the ANALOG INPUT (pin 19).
3. Adjust the offset potentiometer until the output bits are
(pin 16) so the converter is continuously converting.

A single +5V supply should be used for both the +5V analog and +5V digital.
If separate supplies are used, the difference between the two cannot exceed 100mV.
