The IN0 pin of ADC0808 shows 2.5volts with no connection to the sensor.

Hi,

i have interfaced ADC0808 with AT89c51 and i m surprised to see the IN0 pin of ADC shows 2.5V. I have not connected any sensor to it.

I like to know whether it usually shows this voltage or is there any problem with my circuit.

Moreover i see the digital values toggling randomly from 0-255 and if i ground that pin it shows 114.

can anybody help me rectifying this problem.

    How does it "show" 2.5V?
    How have you determined that?

    It's not particularly surprising for an unconnected input to show any arbitrary value - it could be due to noise, leakages, deliberate bias, etc, etc.

    You would need to show your circuit diagram for any meaningful comment!
