+5 V

+5 VDC Source—These pins are fused for
up to 1 A of +5 V supply.

46

36

SCANCLK

Scan Clock—This pin pulses once for each
A/D conversion in the scanning modes. The
low-to-high edge indicates when the input
signal can be removed from the input or
switched to another signal.

45

37

EXTSTROBE*

External Strobe—Writing to the
EXTSTROBE Register results in a
minimum 500-nsec low pulse on this pin.

11

38

EXTTRIG*

External Trigger—In posttrigger data
acquisition sequences, a high-to-low edge
on EXTTRIG* initiates the sequence. In
pretrigger applications, the first high-to-low
edge of EXTTRIG* initiates pretrigger
conversions while the second high-to-low
edge initiates the posttrigger sequence.

10

39

EXTGATE*

External Gate—When EXTGATE* is low,
A/D conversions are inhibited. When
EXTGATE* is high, A/D conversions are
enabled.

43

40

EXTCONV*

External Convert—A high-to-low edge
on EXTCONV* causes an A/D conversion
to occur. Conversions initiated by the
EXTCONV* signal are inhibited outside of
a data acquisition sequence, and when
gated off.

SOURCE1

SOURCE1—This pin is from the Am9513A
Counter 1 signal.
