Figure 8-5: Sample Pulse Width with the External Clock
As shown in Figure 8-5, the sample pulse width time depends upon the SSC bits value when the external clock is selected
(CLK_SEL = 1).

– Pin Capacitance Discharge
Before the sample and hold circuitry start sampling, the DS4830 has an option to discharge pin capacitance. The SHCN
register has PIN_DIS0 and PIN_DIS1 bits to enable the pin discharge function before sampling begins. This is an
optional feature, which generates a discharge pulse that discharges the pin or PCB capacitance for the sample and hold
channels. The discharge pulse is active after the corresponding sample and hold
channel’s conversion is complete and
goes inactive on the rising edge of SHEN0 or SHEN1 pulse. See pin discharge timing is shown below in Figure 8-6.
