ADC-674
12-Bit, μP-Compatible A/D Converter
TIMING CONTROL
The variety of the ADC-674's control modes (as shown in the "CONTROL INPUTS TRUTH TABLE") allow for simple interface in most system applications.
The output signal STS indicates the status of the device; high during a conversion, and low at the completion of a conversion. During a conversion (STS output
high), the output buffers remain in the high impedance state and data cannot be read. A start convert during conversion will not reset the converter or reinitiate a
conversion. However, if A0 changes state after a conversion begins, an additional start convert pulse will latch the new state of A0, causing a wrong cycle length for
that conversion.

TIMING AND OPERATION
Stand-Alone Mode Timing
For stand-alone operation, all that is required is a single control line to R/C, CE and 12/8 are tied high, CS and A0 are tied low, and the output appears in words of
12 bits
The R/C signal may have any duty cycle within the limits shown in the diagrams below
The data may be read when R/C is high unless STS is also high indicating a conversion is in progress.
