FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®1090 is a data acquisition component which
contains a serial I/O successive approximation A/D con-
verter. It uses LTCMOSTM switched capacitor technology
to perform either 10-bit unipolar, or 9-bit plus sign bipolar
A/D conversions. The 8-channel input multiplexer can be
configured for either single ended or differential inputs (or
combinations thereof). An on-chip sample and hold is
included for all single ended input channels.

Software Programmable Features:
Unipolar/Bipolar Conversions
4 Differential/8 Single Ended Inputs
MSB or LSB First Data Sequence
Variable Data Word Length
■
Built-In Sample and Hold
Single Supply 5V, 10V or ±5V Operation
Direct 4 Wire Interface to Most MPU Serial Ports and
All MPU Parallel Ports
30kHz Maximum Throughput Rate
■
■
The serial I/O is designed to be compatible with industry
standard full duplex serial interfaces. It allows either
MSB or LSB first data and automatically provides 2’s
complement output coding in the bipolar mode. The
output data word can be programmed for a length of 8, 10,
12 or 16 bits. This allows easy interface to shift registers
and a variety of processors.
