FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®1290 is a data acquisition component which
contains a serial I/O successive approximation A/D con-
verter. It uses LTCMOSTM switched capacitor technology
toperformeither12-bitunipolaror11-bitplussignbipolar
A/D conversions. The 8-channel input multiplexer can be
configuredforeithersingle-endedordifferentialinputs(or
combinations thereof). An on-chip sample-and-hold is
included for all single-ended input channels. When the
LTC1290 is idle it can be powered down with a serial word
in applications where low power consumption is desired.

The serial I/O is designed to be compatible with industry
standardfullduplexserialinterfaces. ItallowseitherMSB-
or LSB-first data and automatically provides 2's comple-
ment output coding in the bipolar mode. The output data
word can be programmed for a length of 8, 12 or 16 bits.
This allows easy interface to shift registers and a variety of
processors.

* FOR OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION ON ONLY ONE CHANNEL LIMIT THE INPUT CURRENT TO 15mA. FOR OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
ON MORE THAN ONE CHANNEL LIMIT THE INPUT CURRENT TO 7mA PER CHANNEL AND 28mA FOR ALL CHANNELS. (SEE SECTION ON
OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION IN THE APPLICATIONS INFORMATION SECTION.) CONVERSION RESULTS ARE NOT VALID WHEN THE SELECTED
