VCS (Pin 21): The CHIP SELECT input must be low for the REF (Pin 2): 2.42V Reference Output. Bypass to AGND (10µF tantalum in parallel with 0.1µF ceramic). ADC to recognize CONVST and RD inputs. AGND (Pin 3): Analog Ground. BUSY (Pin 22): The BUSY output shows the converter status. It is low when a conversion is in progress. D11 to D4 (Pins 11 to 4): Three-State Data Outputs. D11 is the Most Significant Bit. VSS (Pin 23): Negative Supply. – 5V for bipolar opera- tion. Bypass to AGND with 0.1µF ceramic. Analog DGND (Pin 12): Digital Ground. ground for unipolar operation.
