and other sensors to be digitized by a single converter.
A fifth differential reference input can be selected for any
input channel not requiring ratiometric measurements
(thermocouples, voltages, current sense, etc.). The flex-
ible input multiplexer allows single-ended or differential
inputs coupled with a slaved reference input or a universal
reference input.
A proprietary delta-sigma architecture results in absolute
accuracy (offset, full-scale, linearity) of 15ppm, noise as
low as 200nV
RMS
and speeds as high as 8kHz. Through
a simple 4-wire interface, ten speed/resolution combina-
tions can be selected. The first conversion following a
speed, resolution, channel change or reference change is
valid since there is no settling time between conversions,
enabling scan rates of up to 4kHz. Additionally, a 2× mode
can be selected for any speed-enabling output rates up to
8kHz with one cycle of latency.

pin tied to GND or to external conversion clock source with

EOSC
= 10MHz unless otherwise specified.
Note 5:
Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 6:
Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a
straight line passing through the actual endpoints of the transfer curve.
The deviation is measured from the center of the quantization band.
Note 7:
The converter uses the internal oscillator.
Note 8:
The converter is in external SCK mode of operation such that the
SCK pin is used as a digital input. The frequency of the clock signal driving
SCK during the data output is f
ESCK
and is expressed in Hz.
Note 9:
The converter is in internal SCK mode of operation such that the
SCK pin is used as a digital output. In this mode of operation, the SCK pin
has a total equivalent load capacitance of C
LOAD
= 20pF.
Note 10:
The external oscillator is connected to the F
O
pin. The external
oscillator frequency, f
EOSC
, is expressed in Hz.
Note 11:
The converter uses the internal oscillator. F
O
= 0V.
Note 12:
Guaranteed by design and test correlation.
Note 13:
There is an internal reset that adds an additional 5 to 15 f
O
cycles
to the conversion time.
PIN FUNCTIONS
GND (Pins 1, 4, 5, 6, 31, 32, 33):
Ground. Multiple ground
pins internally connected for optimum ground current flow
and V
CC
decoupling. Connect each one of these pins to
a common ground plane through a low impedance con-
nection. All seven pins must be connected to ground for
proper operation.
BUSY (Pin 2):
Conversion in Progress Indicator. This pin
is HIGH while the conversion is in progress and goes LOW
indicating the conversion is complete and data is ready.
It remains LOW during the sleep and data output states.
At the conclusion of the data output state, it goes HIGH
indicating a new conversion has begun.
EXT
(Pin 3):
Internal/External SCK Selection Pin. This
pin is used to select internal or external SCK for output-
ting/inputting data. If
EXT
is tied low, the device is in the
external SCK mode and data is shifted out of the device
under the control of a user applied serial clock. If
EXT
is
tied high, the internal serial clock mode is selected. The
device generates its own SCK signal and outputs this on
the SCK pin. A framing signal BUSY (Pin 2) goes low
