The ADC is SAMPLE A – IN complete with a precision reference and an internal clock.

C – DAC COMP V + DAC Conversion start is controlled by the CS and CONVST – inputs. At the start of the conversion the successive ap- – proximation register (SAR) is reset. Once a conversion VDAC 14 OUTPUT D13 SAR LATCH cycle has begun it cannot be restarted. D0 1418 F01 During the conversion, the internal differential 14-bit Figure 1. Simplified Block Diagram capacitive DAC output is sequenced by the SAR from the most significant bit (MSB) to the least significant bit (LSB). 1418fa For more information www.linear.com/LTC1418 9 Document Outline Features Applications Typical Application Description Absolute Maximum Ratings Order Information Package/Order Information Converter Characteristics Analog Input Dynamic Accuracy Internal Reference Characteristics Digital Inputs and Outputs Power Requirements Timing Characteristics Typical Performance Characteristics Pin Functions Test Circuit Block Diagram Applications Information Package Description Package Description Revision History Typical Application Related Parts
