Conversion Status MonitorData Input Format For certain applications, the user may wish to monitor the The data input word is 4 bits long and consists of two en- LTC2460/LTC2462 conversion status. This can be achieved able bits (EN1 and EN2) and two programming bits (SPD by holding SCK HIGH during the conversion cycle. In and SLP). EN1 is applied to the first rising edge of SCK this condition, whenever the CS input pin is pulled low after the conversion is complete. Programming is enabled (CS = LOW), the SDO output pin will provide an indication by setting EN1 = 1 and EN2 = 0. of the conversion status. SDO = HIGH is an indication of a conversion cycle in progress while SDO = LOW is an The speed bit (SPD) is only used by the LTC2460. In the indication of a completed conversion cycle.

Alterna- quired for the LTC2460/LTC2462 as its conversion time is tively, SDI can be tied directly to ground (SPD = 0) or V fixed and typically 16.6ms (23ms maximum). Therefore, CC (SPD = 1), eliminating the need to program the device. The external timing can be used to determine the completion of a LTC2462 data output rate is always 60Hz and background conversion cycle. offset calibration is performed (SPD = don’t care).
