DESCRIPTIO
The 10-bit LTC®1852 and 12-bit LTC1853 are complete
8-channel data acquisition systems. They include a flexible 8-channel multiplexer, a 400ksps successive approximation analog-to-digital converter, an internal reference
and a parallel output interface. The multiplexer can be
configured for single-ended or differential inputs, two gain
ranges and unipolar or bipolar operation. The ADCs have
a scan mode that will repeatedly cycle through all 8
multiplexer channels and can also be programmed to
sequence through up to 16 addresses and configurations.
The sequence can also be read back from internal memory.
The reference and buffer amplifier provide pin strappable
ranges of 4.096V, 2.5V and 2.048V. The parallel output
includes the 10-bit or 12-bit conversion result plus the 4bit multiplexer address. The digital outputs are powered
from a separate supply allowing for easy interface to 3V
digital logic. Typical power consumption is 10mW at
400ksps from a single 5V supply and 3mW at 250ksps
from a single 3V supply.

The LTC1852/LTC1853 are complete and very flexible data
acquisition systems. They consist of a 10-bit/12-bit,
400ksps capacitive successive approximation A/D converter with a wideband sample-and-hold, a configurable
8-channel analog input multiplexer, an internal reference
and reference buffer amplifier, a 16-bit parallel digital

CONVERSION DETAILS
T
he core analog-to-digital converter in the
LTC1853
an internal sample-and-hold circuit to convert an analog
signal to a 10-bit/12-bit parallel output. Conversion start
is controlled by the CS and CONVST inputs. At the start of
the conversion, the successive approximation register
(SAR) is reset. Once a conversion cycle is begun, it cannot
be restarted. During the conversion, the internal differential capacitive DAC output is sequenced by the SAR from
the most significant bit (MSB) to the least significant bit
(LSB). The outputs of the analog input multiplexer are
connected to the sample-and-hold capacitors (C
during the acquire phase and the comparator offset is
nulled by the zeroing switches. In this acquire phase, a
minimum delay of 150ns will provide enough time for the
sample-and-hold capacitors to acquire the analog signal.
During the convert phase, the comparator zeroing switches
are open, putting the comparator into compare mode. The
input switches connect C
the differential analog input charge onto the summing
junction. This input charge is successively compared with
the binary weighted charges supplied by the differential
ca
pacitive DAC. Bit decisions are made by the high speed
comparator. At the end of the conversion, the differential
DAC output balances the input charges. The SAR contents

DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio
The signal-to-noise plus distortion ratio [S/(N + D)] is the
ratio between the RMS amplitude of the fundamental input
frequency and the RMS amplitude of all other frequency
components at the ADC output. The output is band limited
to frequencies above DC to below half the sampling
frequency. The effective number of bits (ENOBs) is a
measurement of the resolution of an ADC and is directly
related to the S/(N + D) by the equation:
ENOB = [S/(N + D) – 1.76]/6.02
where ENOB is the effective number of bits and S/(N + D)
is expressed in dB. At the maximum sampling rate of
400kHz, the LTC1852/LTC1853 maintain near ideal ENOBs
up to and beyond the Nyquist input frequency of 200kHz.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion is the ratio of the RMS sum of all
harmonics of the input signal to the fundamental itself. The
out-of-band harmonics alias into the frequency band
between DC and half the sampling frequency. THD is
expressed as:
222 2
VVV Vn
+++
THDLog
=
20
where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental
frequency and V2 through Vn are the amplitudes of the
second through nth harmonics. The LTC1852/LTC1853
have good distortion performance up to the Nyquist
frequency and beyond.
Intermodulation Distortion
If the ADC input signal consists of more than one spectral
component, the ADC transfer function nonlinearity can
produce intermodulation distortion (IMD) in addition to
THD. IMD is the change in one sinusoidal input caused by
the presence of another sinusoidal input at a different
frequency.

LTC1852/LTC1853
If two pure sine waves of frequencies fa and fb are applied
to the ADC input, nonlinearities in the ADC transfer function can create distortion products at the sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb, where m and n = 0, 1, 2, 3,
etc. For example, the 2nd order IMD terms include (fa ± fb).
If the two input sine waves are equal in magnitude, the
value (in decibels) of the 2nd order IMD products can be
expressed by the following formula:

Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
The peak harmonic or spurious noise is the largest spectral component excluding the input signal and DC. This
value is expressed in decibels relative to the RMS value of
a full-scale input signal.
Full-Power and Full-Linear Bandwidth
The full-power bandwidth is that input frequency at which
the amplitude of the reconstructed fundamental is reduced by 3dB for a full-scale input signal.
The full-linear bandwidth is the input frequency at which
the S/(N + D) has dropped to 68dB for the LTC1853 (11
effective bits) or 56dB for the LTC1852 (9 effective bits).
The LTC1852/LTC1853 have been designed to optimize
input bandwidth, allowing the ADC to undersample input
signals with frequencies above the converter’s Nyquist
frequency. The noise floor stays very low at high frequencies; S/(N + D) becomes dominated by distortion at
frequencies far beyond Nyquist.
ANALOG INPUT MULTIPLEXER
The analog input multiplexer is controlled using the singleended/differential pin (DIFF), three MUX address pins (A2,
A1, A0), the unipolar/bipolar pin (UNI/BIP) and the gain
select pin (PGA). The single-ended/differential pin (DIFF)
allows the user to configure the MUX as eight singleended channels relative to the analog input common pin
(COM) when DIFF is low or as four differential pairs (CH0
and CH1, CH2 and CH3, CH4 and CH5, CH6 and CH7) when
DIFF is high. The channels (and polarity in the differential
case) are selected using the MUX address inputs as shown
in Table 1. Unused inputs (including the COM in the
differential case) should be grounded to prevent noise
coupling.
In addition to selecting the MUX channel, the LTC1852/
LTC1853 also allows the user to select between two gains
and unipolar or bipolar inputs for a total of four input
spans. PGA high selects a gain of 1 (the input span is equal
to the voltage on REFCOMP). PGA low selects a gain of 2
where the input span is equal to half of the voltage on
REFCOMP. UNI/BIP low selects a unipolar input span,
UNI/BIP high selects a bipolar input span. Table 2 summarizes the possible input spans.
The LTC1852/LTC1853 have a unique differential sampleand-hold circuit that allows rail-to-rail inputs. The ADC will
always convert the difference of the “+” and “–” inputs
independent of the common mode voltage. The common
mode rejection holds up to high frequencies. The only
requirement is that both inputs can not exceed the AV
power supply voltage or ground. When a bipolar input
span is selected the “+” input can swing ±full scale relative
to the “–” input but neither input can exceed AVDD or go
below ground.
Integral nonlinearity errors (INL) and differential nonlinearity errors (DNL) are independent of the common mode
voltage, however, the bipolar offset will vary. The change
in bipolar offset is typically less than 0.1% of the common
mode voltage.
Some AC applications may have their performance limited
by distortion. Most circuits exhibit higher distortion when
signals approach the supply or ground. THD will degrade
as the inputs approach either power supply rail. Distortion
can be reduced by reducing the signal amplitude and
keeping the common mode voltage at approximately
midsupply.
DD
analog input(s) must settle after the small current spike
before the next conversion starts (settling time must be
less than 150ns for full throughput rate).
Choosing an Input Amplifier
Choosing an input amplifier is easy if a few requirements
are taken into consideration. First, to limit the magnitude
of the voltage spike seen by the amplifier from charging
the sampling capacitor, choose an amplifier that has a low
output impedance (<100Ω) at the closed-loop bandwidth
frequency. For example, if an amplifier is used in a gain of
+1 and has a unity-gain bandwidth of 50MHz, then the
output impedance at 50MHz should be less than 100Ω.
The second requirement is that the closed-loop bandwidth
must be greater than 10MHz to ensure adequate smallsignal settling for full throughput rate. The following list is
a summary of the op amps that are suitable for driving the
LTC1852/LTC1853, more detailed information is available
in the Linear Technology Databooks, the LinearView
CD-ROM and on our web site at www.linear-tech.com.

TM
Driving the Analog Inputs
The inputs of the LTC1852/LTC1853 are easy to drive.
Each of the analog inputs can be used as a single-ended
input relative to the input common pin (CH0-COM, CH1COM, etc.) or in pairs (CH0 and CH1, CH2 and CH3, CH4
and CH5, CH6 and CH7) for differential inputs. Regardless
of the MUX configuration, the “+” and “–” inputs are
sampled at the same instant. Any unwanted signal that is
common mode to both inputs will be reduced by the
common mode rejection of the sample-and-hold circuit.
The inputs draw only one small current spike while charging the sample-and-hold capacitors at the end of conversion. During conversion, the analog inputs draw only a
small leakage current. If the source impedance of the
driving circuit is low, then the LTC1852/LTC1853 inputs
can be driven directly. As source impedance increases, so
will acquisition time. For minimum acquisition time with
high source impedance, a buffer amplifier should be used.
The only requirement is that the amplifier driving the

Input Filtering
The noise and the distortion of the input amplifier and
other circuitry must be considered since they will add to
the LTC1852/LTC1853 noise and distortion. Noisy input
circuitry should be filtered prior to the analog inputs to
minimize noise. A simple 1-pole RC filter is sufficient for
many applications. For instance, a 200Ω source resistor
and a 1000pF capacitor to ground on the input will limit the
input bandwidth to 800kHz.The capacitor also acts as a
charge reservoir for the input sample-and-hold and isolates the ADC input from sampling glitch sensitive circuitry. High quality capacitors and resistors should be
used since these components can add distortion. NPO and
silver mica type dielectric capacitors have excellent linearity. Carbon surface mount resistors can also generate
distortion from self heating and from damage that may
occur during soldering. Metal film surface mount resistors
are much less susceptible to both problems.
REFERENCE
The LTC1852/LTC1853 includes an on-chip, temperature
compensated, curvature corrected, bandgap reference
that is factory trimmed to 2.500V and has a very flexible 3pin interface. REFOUT is the 2.5V bandgap output, REFIN
is the input to the reference buffer and REFCOMP is the
reference buffer output. The input span is determined by
the voltage appearing on the REFCOMP pin as shown in
Table 2. The reference buffer has a gain of 1.6384 and is
factory trimmed by forcing an external 2.500V on the
REFIN pin and trimming REFCOMP to 4.096V. The 3-pin
interface allows for three pin-strappable Reference modes
as well as two additional external Reference modes. For
voltages on the REFIN pin ranging from 1V to 2.6V, the
output voltage on REFCOMP will equal 1.6384 times the
voltage on the REFIN pin. In this mode, the REFIN pin can
be tied to REFOUT to use the internal 2.5V reference to get
4.096V on REFCOMP or driven with an external reference
or DAC. If REFIN is tied low, the internal 2.5V reference
divided by 2 (1.25V) is connected internally to the input of
the reference buffer resulting in 2.048V on REFCOMP. If
REFIN is tied high, the reference buffer is disabled and
REFCOMP can be tied to REFOUT to achieve a 2.5V span
or driven with an external reference or DAC. Table 3
summarizes the Reference modes.

Full Scale and Offset
In applications where absolute accuracy is important,
offset and full-scale errors can be adjusted to zero during
a calibration sequence. Offset error must be adjusted
before full-scale error. Zero offset is achieved by adjusting
the offset applied to the “–” input. For single-ended inputs,
this offset should be applied to the COM pin. For differential inputs, the “–” input is dictated by the MUX address.
For zero offset error, apply 0.5LSB (actual voltage will vary
with input span selected) to the “+” input and adjust the
offset at the “–” input until the output code flickers
between 0000 0000 0000 and 0000 0000 0001 for the
LTC1853 and between 00 0000 0000 and 00 0000 0001 for
the LTC1852.
As mentioned earlier, the internal reference is factory
trimmed to 2.500V. To make sure that the reference buffer
gain is not compensating for trim errors in the reference,
REFCOMP is trimmed to 4.096V with an extremely accurate external 2.5V reference applied to REFIN. Likewise, to
make sure that the full-scale gain trim is not compensating
for errors in the reference buffer gain, the input full-scale
gain is trimmed with an extremely accurate 4.096V reference applied to REFCOMP (REFIN = 5V to disable the
reference buffer). This allows the use of either a 2.5V
reference applied to REFIN or a 4.096V reference applied
to REFCOMP to achieve accurate results. Full-scale errors
can be trimmed to zero by adjusting the appropriate
reference voltage. For unipolar inputs, an input voltage of

For bipolar inputs, an input voltage of FS – 1.5LSBs should
be applied to the “+” input and the appropriate reference
adjusted until the output code flickers between 0111 1111
1110 and 0111 1111 1111 for the LTC1853 and between
01 1111 1110 and 01 1111 1111 for the LTC1852.
These adjustments as well as the factory trims affect all
channels. The channel-to-channel offset and gain error
matching are guaranteed by design to meet the specifications in the Converter Characteristics table.
OUTPUT DATA FORMAT
The LTC1852/LTC1853 have a 14 bit/16-bit parallel output. The output word normally consists of a 10-bit/12-bit
conversion result data word and a 4-bit address (three
address bits A2
OUT
, A1
OUT
, A0
and the DIFF
OUT
OUT
bit).
The output drivers are enabled when RD is low provided
the chip is selected (CS is low). All 14/16 data output pins
and BUSY are supplied by OVDD and OGND to allow easy
interface to 3V or 5V digital logic.
The data format of the conversion result is automatically
selected and determined by the UNI/BIP input pin. If the
UNI/BIP pin is low indicating a unipolar input span
(0 – REFCOMP assuming PGA = 1), the format for the
data is straight binary with 1 LSB = FS/4096 (1mV for
REFCOMP = 4.096V). For the LTC1853 and 1LSB = FS/
1024 (4mV for REFCOMP = 4.096V) for the LTC1852.
If the UNI/BIP pin is high indicating a bipolar input span
(±REFCOMP/2 for PGA = 1), the format for the data is
two’s complement binary with 1 LSB = [(+FS) – (–FS)]/
4096 (1mV for REFCOMP = 4.096V). For the LTC1853 and
1LSB = [(+FS) – (– FS)]/1024 (4mV for REFCOMP =
4.096V) for the LTC1852.
The three most significant bits of the data word (D11, D10
and D9 for the LTC1853; D9, D8 and D7 for the LTC1852)
also function as output bits when reading the contents of
the programmable sequencer. During readback, a 7-bit
status word (S6-S0) containing the contents of the current sequencer location is available when RD is low. The
individual bits of the status word are outlined in Figure 1.
During readback, the D8 to D0 pins (LTC1853) or D6 to D0
pins (LTC1852) remain high impedance irrespective of
the state of RD.

LTC1852/LTC1853
BOARD LAYOUT AND BYPASSING
To obtain the best performance from the LTC1852/
LTC1853, a printed circuit board with ground plane is
required. The ground plane under the ADC area should be
as free of breaks and holes as possible, such that a low
impedance path between all ADC grounds and all ADC
decoupling capacitors is provided. It is critical to prevent
digital noise from being coupled to the analog inputs,
reference or analog power supply lines. Layout for the
printed circuit board should ensure that digital and analog
signal lines are separated as much as possible. In particular, care should be taken not to run any digital track
alongside an analog signal track or underneath the ADC.
An analog ground plane separate from the logic system
ground should be established under and around the ADC.
Pin 34 (OGND), Pin 13 (GND), Pin 16 (GND) and all other
analog grounds should be connected to this single analog
ground point. The bypass capacitors should also be connected to this analog ground plane. No other digital
grounds should be connected to this analog ground plane.
In some applications, it may be desirable to connect the
OVDD to the logic system supply and OGND to the logic
system ground. In these cases, OVDD should be bypassed
to OGND instead of the analog ground plane.
Low impedance analog and digital power supply common
returns are essential to the low noise operation of the ADC
and the foil width for these tracks should be as wide as
possible. In applications where the ADC data outputs and
control signals are connected to a continuously active
microprocessor bus, it is possible to get errors in the
conversion results. These errors are due to feedthrough
from the microprocessor to the sucessive approximation
comparator. The problem can be eliminated by forcing the
microprocessor into a WAIT state during conversions or
by using three-state buffers to isolate the ADC bus. The
traces connecting the pins and bypass capacitors must be
kept short and should be made as wide as possible.
The LTC1852/LTC1853 have differential inputs to minimize noise coupling. Common mode noise on the “+” and
“–” inputs will be rejected by the input CMRR. The LTC1852/
LTC1853 will hold and convert the difference between
whichever input is selected as the “+” input and whichever
input is selected as the “–” input. Leads to the inputs
should be kept as short as possible.
SUPPLY BYPASSING
High quality, low series resistance ceramic 10µF bypass
capacitors should be used. Surface mount ceramic capacitors such as Murata GRM235Y5V106Z016 provide
excellent bypassing in a small board space. Alternatively,
10µF tantalum capacitors in parallel with 0.1µF ceramic
capacitors can be used. Bypass capacitors must be located as close to the pins as possible. The traces connecting the pins and the bypass capacitors must be kept short
and should be made as wide as possible.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
Internal Clock
The A/D converter has an internal clock that eliminates
the need of synchronization between the external clock
and the CS and RD signals found in other ADCs. The
internal clock is factory trimmed to achieve a typical
conversion time of 1400ns, and a maximum conversion
time over the full operating temperature range of 2µs. No
external adjustments are required. The guaranteed maximum acquisition time is 150ns. In addition, a throughput
time of 2.5µs and a minimum sampling rate of 400ksps
is guaranteed.

Power Shutdown
The LTC1852/LTC1853 provide two power shutdown
modes, Nap and Sleep, to save power during inactive
periods. The Nap mode reduces the power to 2.5mW and
leaves only the digital logic and reference powered up. The
wake-up time from Nap to active is 200ns. In Sleep mode,
all bias currents are shut down and only leakage current
remains—about 20µA. Wake-up time from sleep mode is
much slower since the reference circuit must power-up
and settle to 0.005% for full 12-bit accuracy (0.02% for full
10-bit accuracy). Sleep mode wake-up time is dependent
on the value of the capacitor connected to the REFCOMP
(Pin 12). The wake-up time is 10ms with the recommended 10µF capacitor.
Shutdown is controlled by Pin 47 (SHDN); the ADC is in
shutdown when it is low. The shutdown mode is selected
with Pin 46 (CS); low selects Nap.
ADC has been selected (i.e., CS is low). Once initiated, it
cannot be restarted until the conversion is complete.
Converter status is indicated by the BUSY output. BUSY is
low during a conversion. If CONVST returns high at a
critical point during the conversion it can create small
errors. For the best results, ensure that CONVST returns
high either within 400ns after the start of the conversion
or after BUSY rises.
Figures 5 through 9 show several different modes of
operation. In modes 1a and 1b (Figures 5 and 6),
CS and RD are both tied low. The falling edge of
CONVST starts the conversion. The data outputs are
always enabled and data can be latched with the
BUSY rising edge. Mode 1a shows operation with a narrow
logic low CONVST pulse. Mode 1b shows a narrow logic
high CONVST pulse.
In mode 2 (Figure 7), CS is tied low. The falling edge of
CONVST signal again starts the conversion. Data outputs
are in three-state until read by the MPU with the
RD signal. Mode 2 can be used for operation with a shared
MPU databus.
In slow memory and ROM modes (Figures 8 and 9),CS is
tied low and CONVST and RD are tied together. The MPU
starts the conversion and reads the output with the RD
signal. Conversions are started by the MPU or DSP (no
external sample clock).
Timing and Control
Conversion start and data read operations are controlled
by three digital inputs: CONVST, CS and RD. A logic “0”
applied to the CONVST pin will start a conversion after the

pear on the data outputs; BUSY goes high releasing the
processor, and the processor takes RD ( = CONVST) back
high and reads the new conversion data.
In ROM mode, the processor takes RD ( = CONVST) low,
starting a conversion and reading the previous conversion
result. After the conversion is complete, the processor can
read the new result and initiate another conversion.
MODES OF OPERATION
Direct Address Mode
The simplest mode of operation is the Direct Address
mode. This mode is selected when both the M1 and M0
pins are low. In this mode, the address input pins directly
control the MUX and the configuration input pins directly
control the input span. The address and configuration
input pins are enabled when WR is low. WR can be tied low
if the pins will be constantly driven or the rising edge of WR
can be used to latch and hold the inputs for as long as WR
is held high.
Scan Mode
Scan mode is selected when M1 is low and M0 is high.
This mode allows the converter to scan through all of the
input channels sequentially and repeatedly without the
user having to provide an address. The address input pins
(A2 to A0) are ignored but the DIFF, PGA and UNI/BIP pins
are still enabled when WR is low. As in the direct address
mode, WR can be held low or the rising edge of WR can
be used to latch and hold the information on these pins for
as long as WR is held high. The DIFF pin selects the scan
pattern. If DIFF is held low, the scan pattern will consist of
all eight channels in succession, single-ended relative to
COM (CH0-COM, CH1-COM, CH2-COM, CH3-COM, CH4COM, CH5-COM, CH6-COM, CH7-COM, repeat). At the
maximum conversion rate the throughput rate for each
channel would be 400ksps/8 or 50ksps. If DIFF is held
high, the scan pattern will consist of four differential pairs
(CH0-CH1, CH2-CH3, CH4-CH5, CH6-CH7, repeat). At the
maximum conversion rate, the throughput rate for each
pair would be 400ksps/4 or 100ksps. It is possible to drive
the DIFF input pin while the part is in Scan mode to achieve
combinations of single-ended and differential inputs. For
instance, if the A0
pin is tied to the DIFF input pin, the
OUT
scan pattern will consist of four single-ended inputs and
two differential pairs (CH0-COM single-ended, CH1-COM
single-ended, CH2-CH3 differential, CH4-COM singleended, CH5-COM single-ended, CH6-CH7 differential,
repeat).
The scan counter is reset to zero whenever the M0 pin
changes state so that the first conversion after M0 rises
will be MUX Address 000 (CH0-COM single-ended or CH0CH1 differential depending on the state of the DIFF pin). A
conversion is initiated by the falling edge of CONVST. After
each conversion, the address counter is advanced (by one
if DIFF is low, by two if DIFF is high) and the MUX address
for the present conversion is available on the address
output pins (DIFF
OUT
, A2
OUT
to A0
) along with the
OUT
conversion result.
Program/Readback Mode
The LTC1852 and LTC1853 include a sequencer that can
be programmed to run a sequence of up to 16 locations
containing a MUX address and input configuration. The
MUX address and input configuration for each location are
programmed using the DIFF, A2 to A0, UNI/BIP and PGA
pins and are stored in memory along with an end-ofsequence (EOS) bit that is generated automatically. The
six input address and configuration bits plus the EOS bit
can be read back by accessing the 7-bit readback status
word (S6-S0) through the data output pins. The sequencer
memory is a 16 × 7 block of memory represented by the
block diagram in Figure 10.

The sequencer is accessed by taking the M1 mode pin
high. With M1 high, the sequencer memory is accessed by
taking the M0 mode pin low. This will cause BUSY to go
low, disabling conversions during the programming and
readback of the sequencer. The sequencer is reset to
location 0000 whenever M1 or M0 changes state. One of
these signals should be cycled prior to any read or write
operation to guarantee that the sequencer will be pro-

continuing to clock RD. After 16 reads, the pointer is reset

grammed or read starting at location 0000.
Sequence Run Mode
The sequencer is programmed sequentially starting from
location 0000. RD and WR should be held high, the
appropriate signals applied to the DIFF pin, the A2 to A0
MUX address pins, the UNI/BIP pin and the PGA pin and
WR taken low to write to the memory. WR going high will
latch the data into memory and advance the pointer to the
next sequencer location. Up to 16 locations can be programmed and the last location written before M0 is taken
back high will be the last location in the sequence. After 16
writes, the pointer is reset to location 0000 and any
subsequent writes will erase all of the previous contents
and start a new sequence.
Once the sequencer is programmed, M0 is taken high.
BUSY will also come back high enabling CONVST and the
next falling CONVST will begin a conversion using the
MUX address and input configuration stored in location
0000 of the sequencer memory. After each conversion, the
sequencer pointer is advanced by one and the MUX
address ( the actual channel or channels being converted,
not the sequencer pointer) for the present conversion is
available on the address output pins along with the conversion result. When the sequencer finishes converting

Data buffering using two IDT7202LA15 1k x 9-bit FIFOs
allows rapid collection of 1024 samples and simple interface to low power, low speed, 8-bit microcontrollers. Data
and channel information are clocked in simultaneously
and read out as two bytes using READ HIGH FIFO and
READ LOW FIFO lines. In the event of bus contention,
resistors limit peak output current. If both FIFOs are read

empty, half full, and full flags from only one FIFO need to
be monitored. The retransmit inputs may also be tied
together. Retransmit may be used to read data repeatedly,
allowing a memory limited processor to perform transform and filtering functions that would otherwise be
difficult.
