SCANCLK

DIG GND

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.

EXTSTROBE*

DIG GND

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

EXTTRIG*

DIG GND

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.

EXTGATE*

DIG GND

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

EXTCONV*

DIG GND

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

DIG GND

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

GATE1

DIG GND

GATE1—This pin is from the Am9513A Counter 1 signal.

OUT1

DIG GND

OUTPUT1—This pin is from the Am9513A Counter 1 signal.

EXTTMRTRIG*

DIG GND

External Timer Trigger—If selected, a high-to-low edge on
EXTTMRTRIG* results in the output DACs being updated
with the value written to them in the posted update mode.
EXTTMRTRIG* will also generate a timed interrupt if
enabled.

GATE2

DIG GND

GATE2—This pin is from the Am9513A Counter 2 signal.

OUT2

DIG GND

OUTPUT2—This pin is from the Am9513A Counter 2 signal.

SOURCE5

DIG GND

SOURCE5—This pin is from the Am9513A Counter 5 signal.

GATE5

DIG GND

GATE5—This pin is from the Am9513A Counter 5 signal.
