Using the Dual Slope A/D converter function in the HT46R7xD-1
This example shows how the internal Dual Slope ADC function in the HT46R7xD-1 device is used. The Timer is used to set a charge up time after which the same timer is used to measure the discharge time. It is this discharge time that represents the analog signal being measured.

Understanding Integrating ADCs
The following article explains how integrating ADCs work. Discussions include single-slope, dual-slope and multi-slope conversions. Also, an in-depth analysis of the integrating architecture will be discussed. Finally a comparisons against other ADC architectures will aid in the understanding and selection of integrating ADCs.

ICL7136 Low-Power, 3 1/2 Digit A/D Converter
The Maxim ICL7136 is a monolithic analog to digital converter with very high input impedance. On-board active components include segment drivers, segment decoders, voltage reference and a clock circuit. The ICL7136 directly drives a non-multiplexed liquid crystal (LCD) display, requiring no external display drive circuitry. Signifficantly reduced power consumption makes the ICL7136 a superior device, especially for portable systems.
