- FIG. 1 illustrates a PRIOR ART analog-to-digital converter system 100.
- An analog system 102 provides continuously variable (analog) voltages Al, A2 , A3, ... , AN to a multiplexer 104.
- Each of the analog voltages Al , A2 , A3, -.., AN has a normal voltage range indicated by vertical ranges of rectangles 1, 2, 3, ..., N at 106.
- the analog voltages Al , A2 , A3, ... , AN can represent a process variable, a temperature, a voltage, a calibration pot setting and other analog variables.
- the analog voltages Al As part of the design process for the analog system 102, the analog voltages Al ,
- A2 , A3, ... , AN are scaled so that each analog voltage has a normal range of voltages that is within the input range of an analog-to-digital converter (A/D) 108.
- the input range of the A/D 108 ranges between zero (common) and a reference input 110 of the A/D 108.
- a reference 112 is selected which provides the desired input range (0 to +REF) to accommodate the normal ranges of all of the analog voltages Al, A2 , A3, ..., AN.
- a digital output 114 of the A/D is coupled to a microcontroller 116.
- the microcontroller 116 provides a digital output (M) 118 that couples to the Multiplexer (MUX) 104.
- the multiplexer 104 receives the digital output 118 and selects one output AM to connect to the multiplexer output 120.
- the multiplexer output 120 couples to an analog input 122 of the A/D 108.
- the microcontroller 116 increments or steps the digital output M and obtains digital representations at output 114 for each of the relevant analog inputs Al , A2 , A3, ..., AN.
- the microcontroller 116 calculates desired outputs 124 as a function of the digitized analog inputs Al, A2 , A3, ... AN.
- the outputs 124 will represent process variables that are compensated for temperature, power supply voltages, calibration settings and the like that are obtained from the analog system 102.
- Adjacent input pins on the multiplexer 104 are close together and subject to accidental or intermittent short circuiting by a short 130 during assembly or use of the multiplexer 104 on a printed wiring board.
- analog voltages Al , A2 , A3, ..., AN tend to have voltage ranges that are crowded together and are overlapping.
- the voltage at the two shorted together pins is typically in both of the voltage ranges for the shorted pins, and there is no "out of range” reading to identify the fact that there is a short circuit .
- Analog voltages that are only slightly different than correct voltages may be converted by the A/D 108 and there will be no indication of the short circuit.
- the digital output 114 of the A/D 108 is a digital word 132 that includes a number of bits ranging from a least significant bit (LSB) to a most significant bit (MSB) .
- the number of bits generally corresponds to the output resolution of the A/D.
- Each bit is generated by one or more switches internal to the A/D 108. These internal switches are subject to failure, and when a switch fails, typically one bit 134 of the digital word 132 becomes stuck at either a high (1) level or a low (0) level.
- FIG. 2A illustrates a first embodiment of an circuit 200 with a dynamically changing input range and an error output 219.
- the circuit 200 is typically used to process analog variables in an industrial process variable transmitter such as the transmitter illustrated in FIG. 7, but can be used in a wide variety of other applications using multiplexed analog-to-digital conversion.
- the circuit 200 receives a plurality of analog inputs Al, A2 , A3, ... AN from an analog system 202.
- Each analog input has a normal operating range (RANGE 1, RANGE 2, RANGE 3, ... RANGE N) associated with it.
- the analog system 202 has been specially configured so that each analog input has a normal operating range that is different from the normal operating range of the other remaining analog inputs.
- the normal operating ranges of the analog inputs are non-overlapping.
- the analog inputs are conditioned by a combination of scaling, inversion or level shifting to provide a unique normal operating range for each analog input A. Examples of conditioning circuits are described below in connection with FIGS. 8A, 8B, 8C.
- the circuit 200 includes a multiplexer (MUX) 204 that receives the analog inputs Al , A2 , A3, ... AN.
- the multiplexer 204 has a select input 218 that selects one of the analog inputs Al , A2 , A3, ... AN to connect to a multiplexer output (AM) to provide a sequence of analog outputs 220.
- the multiplexer select input 218 is a multibit word and is simply counted up (or down) to sample the analog inputs in numerical order.
- the multiplexer 204 preferably comprises an integrated circuit analog multiplexer, for example, Analog Devices AD7501 available from Analog Devices, Inc. of Norwood, Massachusetts.
- the circuit 200 also includes a reference source 212 that provides a first reference voltage to a reference input 210 of an analog-to-digital converter 208. In one preferred arrangement, a separate
- reference such as a Zener diode or active reference
- the reference source is simply a lead in circuit 200 that connects to a shared reference (such as a Zener diode or active reference) that is part of the analog system 202.
- a reference source that is part of a commercial A/D circuit 208 is used.
- the analog-to-digital converter (A/D) 208 receives the sequence of analog outputs (AM) 220.
- the A/D 208 has a reference input 210 that receives the first reference voltage from reference 212.
- the A/D 208 converts the sequence of analog inputs (AM) 220 to a corresponding sequence of digital outputs (DM) 214.
- the multiplexer 204 presents the sequence of analog outputs (AM) 220 in a numerical sequence, and the sequence of digital outputs (DM) is also presented in a numerical sequence.
- the individual digital outputs DM can be presented in either a serial or a parallel format, depending on the type of A/D converter that is used. In one preferred embodiment, an Analog Devices AD571 A/D converter is used, for example.
- a digital output (for each serial or parallel digital output in the sequence) , includes a number of bits ranging from a least significant bit (LSB) to a most significant bit (MSB) as illustrated.
- the circuit 200 includes a control circuit 216.
- the control circuit 216 actuates the select input 218 with a numerical sequence that selects the sequence of the analog outputs to be read by the control circuit 216.
- the control circuit 216 compares the sequence of digital outputs 214 to a stored sequence of normal ranges 217 that correspond with the digital outputs ' 214 to provide or actuate an error output 219 when at least one of the digital outputs 214 is not in its stored normal range 217.
- the control circuit 216 preferably comprises a microcontroller, for example, a National Semiconductor COP8SGE728M8.
- the error checking (normal range checking) runs in the background on the control circuit 216.
- the control circuit also provides a real time output 221 that represents some useful parameter of the analog system 202.
- the parameter of interest is a compensated pressure, temperature, or flow that is displayed or used for process control .
- the arrangement illustrated in FIG. 2A provides for checking errors due to short circuits between analog inputs Al , A2 , A3, ... AN which all have unique, non-overlapping normal ranges.
- the resulting voltage can only be in a single one of the normal ranges and cannot lie in two different ranges because the ranges are non-overlapping. This results in at least one, and sometimes both of the shorted analog inputs being detected as outside of normal range.
- Short-circuiting of two of the plurality of analog inputs causes at least one of the digital outputs to exceed its corresponding normal range.
- FIG. 2A also provides for checking errors due to one of the output bits of the A/D 208 being stuck.
- a bit is considered stuck when the bit remains at one logic state (0 or 1) continuously, or in other words is shorted to one of the power supply rails.
- the effect of the stuck bit is different percentage for each output in the sequence, and there is a high probability that the control circuit 216 will detect that one of the digital outputs is out of its corresponding stored normal range.
- the sequence of digital outputs comprises digital words with a series of bits, and sticking of one of the bits causes at least one of the digital outputs to exceed its corresponding normal range.
- FIG. 2B illustrates a simplified flow chart example of background error checking in the system illustrated in FIG.
- Program flow starts at START 250 and proceeds to compare the current output DM (i.e., the output D when the select input is M) to the stored normal range data for range M at decision block 252. If the output DM is in the normal range, then program flow continues along lines 254, 256 to function block 258. At function block 258, the background program waits for the select input M to change to the next number. If the output DM is not in the normal range at decision block 252, then program flow continues along line 260 to function block 262 which actuates the error output 219 (FIG. 2A) and then continues along lines 264, 256 to the function block 258. When the select input M changes, then program flow starts again and continues along lines 266 back to the decision block 252.
- FIG. 3A illustrates a second embodiment of a circuit 300 with a dynamically changing input range and an error output 219.
- Reference numbers used in FIG. 3A that are the same as reference numbers used in FIG. 2A designate the same or similar features.
- the circuit 300 receives a plurality of analog inputs Al, A2 , A3, ... AN from an analog system 302. Each analog input has a normal operating range (RANGE 1, RANGE 2, RANGE 3, ... RANGE N) associated with it.
- the analog system 302 has been specially configured so that odd-numbered analog inputs (Al, A3 , ... ) are in an odd normal operating range, and even-numbered analog inputs (A2 , A4 , ...) are in an even normal operating range.
- the odd and even operating ranges of the analog inputs are non-overlapping and each of the two operating ranges extends over about one half of the input range of the A/D 208.
- the analog inputs are conditioned by a combination of scaling, inversion or level shifting so that alternately numbered analog inputs are in alternating normal operating ranges.
- FIG. 3B illustrates an example of a simplified flow chart of background error checking useful in the system illustrated in FIG. 3A.
- Program flow begins at START 301 and continues along line 303 to decision block 304.
- the current select input number "M” is tested to find out if it is even. If the input number "M” is even, then program flow continues along line 306 to decision block 308. If the number "M” is not even, then program flow continues along line 310 to decision block 312.
- the A/D output DM is tested to find out if DM is in the even stored normal range. If DM is in the even stored normal range, then program flow continues along line 314 and 316 to action block 318. Action block 318 provides a wait until the value of M is updated, and then program flow continues along lines 320, 303 to start the process over for the next value of M.
- Action block 324 reports an error (actuates output 219 in FIG. 3A) , and then program flow continues along lines 326, 316 to action block 318. If DM is in the odd range at decision block 312, then program flow continues along lines 328, 316 to action block 318. If Dm is not in the odd range at decision block 312, then program flow continues along line 330 to action block 324.
- the arrangements illustrated in FIGS. 3A-3B provide for error checking using only two stored normal ranges.

- the control circuit 216 controls the first switch 406 to couple the second reference 404 to the analog-to-digital converter when an even-numbered analog input (A2 , A4 , ... ) is selected.
- the switching provided by the first switch 406 shifts the range of the output of the A/D converter 208.
- the output DM of the A/D converter is a digital word that is scaled to a product of voltage at the analog output AM divided by voltage at the reference input 210 times the count span of the A/D converter. Accordingly, data 215 in the control circuit 216 is stored shifted normal range data.
- the arrangement in FIG. 4A provides enhanced A/D converter resolution for the lower range while still providing the error detection between adjacent pins of the analog inputs.

- the control circuit 216 controls the second switch 502 to connect a selected one of the second reference 404 and a common conductor 504 (zero volts) to the -IN differential input.
- the switches 406 and 502 are operated in synchronization so that both the upper and lower limits of the range of the A/D converter 208 can be shifted. This arrangement allows enhanced error detection while retaining high A/D converter resolution. An odd range input value will produce a maximum count A/D output value DM if input into an even range switch configuration.
- FIG. 6 illustrates an embodiment of a reference switching circuit 600 that provides a selectable level of reference voltage 602 to a reference input on an A/D converter. Selection of the level is controlled by a control line 604 from a control circuit such as a microcontroller. The control line 604 activates a switch 606 to short out a resistor 608.
