Once a conversion cycle has begun it cannot be restarted. The LTC1412 uses a successive approximation algorithm and an internal sample-and-hold circuit to convert an During the conversion, the internal differential 12-bit analog signal to a 12-bit parallel output. The ADC is capacitive DAC output is sequenced by the SAR from the complete with a precision reference and an internal clock. most significant bit (MSB) to the least significant bit The control logic provides easy interface to microproces- (LSB). Referring to Figure 1, the A + – IN and AIN inputs are sors and DSPs.
