Input integration period
When the auto zero adjustment period terminates, start the inte-
gration of the input voltage by connecting switch S1 to the V
IN side
and turning switches S2 and S3 OFF. The input voltage of the
integral AMP changes according to the time constant of the integral
resistance RI and the condenser CI, and the waveform that indi-
cated in Figure 4.12.13 is output by the integral AMP.

Auto zero adjustment period
Auto zero adjustment is the sequence initially effected in order to
compensate for error in the A/D conversion results, due to the
offset voltage of the buffer AMP (BUF), the integral AMP (INT) and
comparator (CMP).
The switch S1 in Figure 4.12.12 is connected on the GND at the
beginning of this period and switches S2 and S3 go ON.
Then switch S2 goes OFF, and voltage is charged into CAZ to
correct the offset.
The auto zero adjustment period becomes the time counted for only
the number of resolution counts that have specified the 32 kHz
clock.
