APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
During the data output operation the CS input pin must CONVERT and SLEEP states to assess the conversion be pulled low (CS = LOW). The data output process starts status and during the DATA OUTPUT state to read the with the most signifi cant bit of the result being present conversion result, and to trigger a new conversion. at the SDO output pin (SDO = D15) once CS goes low. A new data bit appears at the SDO output pin following every

upon the above description of the function of the three For certain applications, the user may wish to monitor digital interface pins. the LTC2450 conversion status. This can be achieved The modes of operation can be summarized as follows: by holding SCK HIGH during the conversion cycle. In this condition, whenever the CS input pin is pulled low 1) The LTC2450 functions with SCK idle high (commonly (CS = LOW), the SDO output pin will provide an indication known as CPOL = 1) or idle low (commonly known as of the conversion status. SDO = HIGH is an indication of CPOL = 0). a conversion cycle in progress while SDO = LOW is an 2) After the 16th bit is read, the user can choose one of indication of a completed conversion cycle.
