NOTE: These products are now obsolete.
The ADC12L030 family is 12-bit plus sign successive ap-
proximation A/D converters with serial I/O and configurable
input multiplexers. These devices are fully tested with a
single 3.3V power supply. The ADC12L032, ADC12L034 and
ADC12L038 have 2, 4 and 8 channel multiplexers, respec-
tively. Differential multiplexer outputs and A/D inputs are
available at the MUXOUT1, MUXOUT2, A/DIN1 and A/DIN2
pins. The ADC12L030 has a two channel multiplexer with the
multiplexer outputs and A/D inputs internally connected. On
request, these A/Ds go through a self calibration process

The analog inputs can be configured to operate in various
combinations of single-ended, differential, or pseudo-
differential modes. A fully differential unipolar analog input
range (0V to +3.3V) can be accommodated with a single
+3.3V supply. In the differential modes, valid outputs are
obtained even when the negative inputs are greater than the
positive because of the 12-bit plus sign two’s compliment
output data format.
