LTC1290 OUUWUAPPLICATIS I FOR ATIO The LTC1290 is a data acquisition component which previous conversion is output on the DOUT line. At the end contains the following functional blocks: of the data exchange the requested conversion begins and CS should be brought high. After tCONV, the conversion is 1. 12-bit successive approximation capacitive A/D complete and the results will be available on the next data converter transfer cycle. As shown below, the result of a conversion 2. Analog multiplexer (MUX) is delayed by one CS cycle from the input word requesting it. 3. Sample-and-hold (S/H) 4.

The The LTC1290 8-bit data word is clocked into the DIN input shift clock (SCLK) synchronizes the data transfer with on the first eight rising SCLK edges after chip select is each bit being transmitted on the falling SCLK edge and recognized. Further inputs on the DIN pin are then ignored captured on the rising SCLK edge in both transmitting and until the next CS cycle. The eight bits of the input word are receiving systems. The data is transmitted and received defined as follows: simultaneously (full duplex). UNIPOLAR/ WORD BIPOLAR LENGTH Data transfer is initiated by a falling chip select (CS) signal.
