APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Dummy Bits
The last two bits of the input word following the MUX ad-
dress are dummy bits. Either bit can be a
logical one or a
logical zero. These two bits allow the ADC 2.5 clocks to
acquire the input signal after the channel selection.
A/D Conversion Result
Both the LTC1196 and the LTC1198 have the A/D conver-
sion result appear on the DOUT line after two null bits (see
the operating sequences in Figures 1 and 2). Data on the
DOUT line is updated on the rising edge of the CLK line.
The DOUT data should also be captured on the rising CLK
edge by the digital systems. Data on the DOUT line remains
valid for a minimum time of thDO (30ns at 5V) to allow the
capture to occur (see Figure 3).

Figure 4. LTC1198 Operation with DIN and DOUT Tied Together
Operation with DIN and DOUT Tied Together
The LTC1198 can be operated with DIN and DOUT tied
together. This eliminates one of the lines required to com-
municate to the digital systems. Data is transmitted in both
directions on a single wire. The pin of the digital systems
connected to this data line should be congurable as either
an input or an output. The LTC1198 will take control of
the data line and drive it LOW on the fth falling CLK edge
after the START bit is received (see Figure 4). Therefore,
the port line of the digital systems must be switched to
an input before this happens to avoid a conict.
