I Analog input. These 1 1 analog-signal inputs are internally multiplexed. The driving source impedance should
be less than or equal to 50 Ω for 4.1-MHz I/O CLOCK operation and capable of slewing the analog input
voltage into a capacitance of 60 pF.
CS 15 I Chip select. A high-to-low transition on CS resets the internal counters and controls and enables DA T A OUT,
DAT A INPUT, and I/O CLOCK. A low-to-high transition disables DAT A INPUT and I/O CLOCK within a setup
time.
DATA INPUT 17 I Serial-data input. A 4-bit serial address selects the desired analog input or test voltage to be converted. The
serial data is presented with the MSB first and is shifted in on the first four rising edges of I/O CLOCK. After
the four address bits are read into the address register, I/O CLOCK clocks the remaining bits in order.
DATA OUT 16 O Serial data output. This is the 3-state serial output for the A/D conversion result. DATA OUT is in the
high-impedance state when CS
is high and active when CS is low. With a valid CS, DAT A OUT is removed
from the high-impedance state and is driven to the logic level corresponding to the MSB/LSB value of the
previous conversion result. The next falling edge of I/O CLOCK drives DATA OUT to the logic level
corresponding to the next MSB/LSB, and the remaining bits are shifted out in order .
EOC 19 O End of conversion. EOC goes from a high to a low logic level after the falling edge of the last I/O CLOCK and
remains low until the conversion is complete and data are ready for transfer.
GND 10 Ground. This is the ground return terminal for the internal circuitry. Unless otherwise noted, all voltage
measurements are with respect to GND.
I/O CLOCK 18 I Input/output clock. I/O CLOCK receives the serial input and performs the following four functions:
1. It clocks the eight input data bits into the input data register on the first eight rising edges of I/O CLOCK
with the multiplexer address available after the fourth rising edge.
2. On the fourth falling edge of I/O CLOCK, the analog input voltage on the selected multiplexer input
begins charging the capacitor array and continues to do so until the last falling edge of I/O
CLOCK.
3. It shifts the 11 remaining bits of the previous conversion data out on DATA OUT. Data changes on
the falling edge of I/O CLOCK.
4. It transfers control of the conversion to the internal state controller on the falling edge of the last
I/O CLOCK.
REF+ 14 I Reference+. The upper reference voltage value (nominally VCC) is applied to REF+. The maximum input
voltage range is determined by the difference between the voltage applied to this terminal and the voltage
applied to the REF– terminal.
REF– 13 I Reference–. The lower reference voltage value (nominally ground) is applied to REF–.

20 Positive supply voltage.
detailed description
Initially, with chip select (CS) high, I/O CLOCK and DATA INPUT are disabled and DATA OUT is in the
high-impedance state. CS
, going low, begins the conversion sequence by enabling I/O CLOCK and DATA
INPUT and removes DAT A OUT from the high-impedance state.
The input data is an 8-bit data stream consisting of a 4-bit analog channel address (D7–D4), a 2-bit data length
select (D3–D2), an output MSB or LSB first bit (D1), and a unipolar or bipolar output select bit (D0) that are
applied to DA T A INPUT . The I/O CLOCK sequence applied to the I/O CLOCK terminal transfers this data to the
input data register.
During this transfer, the I/O CLOCK sequence also shifts the previous conversion result from the output data
register to DATA OUT. I/O CLOCK receives the input sequence of 8, 12, or 16 clocks long depending on the
data-length selection in the input data register. Sampling of the analog input begins on the fourth falling edge
of the input I/O CLOCK sequence and is held after the last falling edge of the I/O CLOCK sequence. The last
falling edge of the I/O CLOCK sequence also takes EOC low and begins the conversion.
