version results or shift in DC accuracy (offset, full-scale,
linearity, drift). Additionally, a 2X speed mode can be
selected enabling output rates up to 7kHz (8kHz if an
external oscillator is used) with one cycle latency.

No Latency Mode, Each Conversion is Accurate Even
After a New Channel is Selected
the 1X speed mode the first conversion following a new
speed, resolution, or channel selection is valid. Since
there is no settling time between conversions, all 8 dif-
ferential channels can be scanned at a rate of 500Hz.
At the conclusion of each conversion, the converter is
internally reset eliminating any memory effects between
successive conversions and assuring stability of the high
order delta-sigma modulator.
