8-Bit Successive Approximation Register
(with Expansion Control)
DM74LS503 8-Bit Successive Approximation Register
March 1989
Revised March 2000
General Description
The DM74LS503 register has an active LOW Enable (E)
input that is used in cascading two or more packages f or
longer word lengths. A HIGH signal on E
operation, forces Q7 HIG H and prevents the device from
accepting serial data. With the E
connected to the CC
cant) device, the DM74LS503 will be inhibited until the preceding device is filled, causing its CC
This LOW signal then enables the D M74LS503 to accept
the serial data on subsequent clocks.

Features
■ Performs serial-to-parallel conversion
■ Expansion control for longer words
■ Storage and control for successive approximation A to D
conversion
■ Low power Schottky version of 2503
