The input switch switches C and an internal sample-and-hold circuit to convert an SAMPLE to ground, injecting the analog input charge onto the summing junc- analog signal to a 16-bit serial output.

(Please refer to the Digital Interface section for timing information.) SAMPLE Conversion start is controlled by the CS and R/C inputs. At C SI the start of conversion the successive approximation RIN1 SAMPLE SAMPLE VIN – register (SAR) is reset. Once a conversion cycle has begun HOLD it cannot be restarted. RIN2 + C During the conversion, the internal 16-bit capacitive DAC DAC COMPARATOR DAC output is sequenced by the SAR from the most significant VDAC S bit (MSB) to the least significant bit (LSB). Referring to A R Figure 1, VIN is connected through the resistor divider to the sample-and-hold capacitor during the acquire phase 16-BIT and the comparator offset is nulled by the autozero switches. SHIFT REGISTER 1609 F01 In this acquire phase, a minimum delay of 2µs will provide enough time for the sample-and-hold capacitor to acquire Figure 1. LTC1609 Simplified Equivalent Circuit 1609fa 8
