Figure 10. Calculating the Conversion Result
Oscillator
The TC8129 normally operates with a 32.768kHz clock,
which produces a conversion rate of (20 conversions/sec).
A typical oscillator is circuit is shown in Figure 12.

COMPONENT SELECTION
Integrate Resistor (RINT)
A 100k
resistor is recommended for RINT. This will
limit integrator output current to about 4
A at full scale.
Integrate Capacitor (CINT)
The normal value for CINT is 0.047F. This value,
combined with an integrate resistor of 100k
and clock
frequency of 32.768kHz, will produce an integrator swing
of about 1.5V at full scale. To reduce rollover errors, a
capacitor with low dielectric absorption is required. A
polypropylene capacitor is recommended for best perfor-
mance, but polycarbonate, polyphenylene sulfide, or poly-
styrene capacitors can be used in less demanding applica-
tions.

BUZIN (Pin 31)
The buzzer can be used for a variety of user-interface
features, such as audible continuity or signaling of range
changes. The buzzer will turn on when BUZIN is set HIGH.
APPLICATIONS
Power
The TC8129 is designed to operate from a single 9
Volt battery. The converter also provides a common mode
reference point for analog measurements, power for the
TC8131 controller, and power for the frequency counter
buffer. The TC8129 internal power supply schematic is
shown in Figure 11.
