I/O

DESCRIPTION

AINP

32

I

Analog input, single-ended or positive input of differential channel A

AINM

31

I

Analog input, single-ended or negative input of differential channel A

BINP

30

I

Analog input, single-ended or positive input of differential channel B

BINM

29

I

Analog input, single-ended or negative input of differential channel B

AVDD

23

I

Analog supply voltage

AGND

24

I

Analog ground

BVDD

7

I

Digital supply voltage for buffer

BGND

8

I

Digital ground for buffer

CONV_CLK (CONVST)

15

I

Digital input. This input is used to apply an external conversion clock in continuous conversion

mode. In single conversion mode, this input functions as the conversion start (CONVST) input.

A high to low transition on this input holds simultaneously the selected analog input channels

and initiates a single conversion of all selected analog inputs.

CS0

22

I

Chip select input (active low)

CS1

21

I

Chip select input (active high)

DATA_AV

16

O

Data available signal, which can be used to generate an interrupt for processors and as a level

information of the internal FIFO. This signal can be configured to be active low or high and can

be configured as a static level or pulse output. See Table 14.

DGND

17

I

Digital ground. Ground reference for digital circuitry.

DVDD

18

I

Digital supply voltage

D0 – D9

1–6, 9–12

I/O/Z

Digital input, output; D0 = LSB

D10/RA0

13

I/O/Z

Digital input, output. The data line D10 is also used as an address line (RA0) for the control

register. This is required for writing to the control register 0 and control register 1. See Table 8.

D11/RA1

14

I/O/Z

Digital input, output (D11 = MSB). The data line D11 is also used as an address line (RA1) for

the control register. This is required for writing to control register 0 and control register 1. See

Table 8.

REFIN

28

I

Common-mode reference input for the analog input channels. It is recommended that this pin

be connected to the reference output REFOUT.

REFP

26

I

Reference input, requires a bypass capacitor of 10

µF to AGND in order to bypass the internal

reference voltage. An external reference voltage at this input can be applied. This option can

be programmed through control register 0. See Table 9.

REFM

25

I

Reference input, requires a bypass capacitor of 10

µF to AGND in order to bypass the internal

reference voltage. An external reference voltage at this input can be applied. This option can

be programmed through control register 0. See Table 9.

REFOUT

27

O

Analog fixed reference output voltage of 2.5 V. Sink and source capability of 250

µA. The

reference output requires a capacitor of 10

µF to AGND for filtering and stability.

RD†

19

I

The RD input is used only if the WR input is configured as a write only input. In this case, it is a

digital input, active low as a data read select from the processor. See timing section.

WR (R/W)†

20

I

This input is programmable. It functions as a read-write input R/W and can also be configured

as a write-only input WR, which is active low and used as data write select from the processor.

In this case, the RD input is used as a read input from the processor. See timing section.

† The start-conditions of RD and WR (R/W) are unknown. The first access to the ADC has to be a write access to initialize the ADC.
