General Description
The ADC12L030 family is 12-bit plus sign successive ap-
proximation A D converters with serial I O and configurable
input multiplexers These devices are fully tested with a sin-
gle 3 3V power supply The ADC12L032 ADC12L034 and
ADC12L038 have 2 4 and 8 channel multiplexers respec-
tively Differential multiplexer outputs and A D inputs are
available on the MUXOUT1
MUXOUT2
A DIN1 and
A DIN2 pins The ADC12L030 has a two channel multiplex-
er with the multiplexer outputs and A D inputs internally
connected On request these A Ds go through a self cali-
bration process that adjusts linearity zero and full-scale er-
rors to less than
g
LSB each
The analog inputs can be configured to operate in various
combinations of single-ended differential or pseudo-differ-
ential modes A fully differential unipolar analog input range
(0V to a3 3V) can be accommodated with a single a3 3V
supply In the differential modes valid outputs are obtained
even when the negative inputs are greater than the positive
because of the 12-bit plus sign two’s compliment output
data format
The serial I O is configured to comply with NSC’s MICRO-
WIRE
TM
and Motorola’s SPI standards For complementary
voltage references see the LM4040 LM4041 or LM9140
data sheets
